如何在阅读中借鉴写作思路

　　许多学生认为，动辄900-1000字的阅读文章对于只有150和250字的雅思作文借鉴意义不大，事实上，两者在主题、构思、句式、用词等方面有着很大的相似性。本文中，专家将就此一一说明：

　　1. 主题性

　　阅读文章和雅思写作题目涵盖的范围比较广，具有极强的主题性，其重合话题有：环境、社会、教育三大方面。阅读文章的内容能帮助考生更好地理解题目的文化背景，积累观点素材，在备考过程中，考生可以将这两项结合起来。

　　剑四test 2的reading passage 1Lost for Words极好的回答了雅思一道较难的文化类考题：what are the reasons for the loss of many cultures and languages? How to solve this problem?

　　许多学生因为缺少对这一背景的了解而无从下手，我们完全可以看看这篇阅读文章提供了哪些素材：

　　1 What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children, it is relatively safe。

　　2 people reject the language of their parents It begins with a crisis of confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society

　　3 Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in schools, all to promote national unity。

　　4 They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English

　　这些都是十分准确而又全面的回答，说明了许多语言丧失的原因，甚至连语言丧失对于文化的连带影响也有所涉及：Language is also intimately bound with culture, so it may be difficult to preserve one without the other。

　　这篇文章在后文也对如何解决这一问题做出了回答：

　　 a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst prediction from coming true.apprentice programs have provided life support t several indigenous languages。

　　值得注意的是，这篇阅读文章的结构是遵循背景原因解决方式的架构来安排的，对于写作结构也有很好的架构作用。

　　2.流程图的描述

　　2010年雅思写作Task I图画题频现，许多学生不太熟悉流程图，对于如何描述其过程极为担心。其实分析发现，这样的句式在说明型的阅读文章中屡见不鲜，这类阅读文章常常涉及某个事物的发展过程或者制作方式，其遣词造句都是可以进行学习和利用。

　　剑五Test 2 Reading passage 1是一篇关于对现代塑料的说明文章，其中有一段就是对塑料制作过程的描述，很多句式都可以拿来我用。

　　首先是对这一流程的总体概括The original patent outlined a three-stage process, in which phenol and formaldehyde were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle。 我们可以根据这个句式来描写2009年9月一道关于玻璃瓶子回收过程的题目，如：

　　A three-stage process is outlined, in which the used bottles are collected and re-produced in the plant.

　　接着，制作过程中的细节按照先后顺序铺开，并结合被动语态与准确的动词选择：The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into powder. Other substances were then introduced, including. . In the last stage, the heated Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould of the required shape ，其中的cool, break, grind, pour等动词都是在工作流程中的高频词汇。then, in the last stage也可以作为极好的连接过渡词。

　　剑五Test 4 Reading passage 2关于强化玻璃的说明文中也有类似的描述句式： used to make glass, and nickel can also be introduced by fragments of nickel alloys falling into the molten glass. As the glass is heated, these atoms react to form 其中的be used to, introduce, melt, heat也都可以用在描述中。
