雅思大作文考的是议论文,即考查考生是否能够在相对较短的时间内搜集论据,具体地论证自己的观点。但受国内教育体制的影响,中国考生往往缺乏对这些社会话题的深刻思考和讨论,造成思考模式的僵化与狭隘,写的太官腔。
雅思大作文考的是议论文,即考查考生是否能够在相对较短的时间内搜集论据,具体地论证自己的观点。但受国内教育体制的影响,中国考生往往缺乏对这些社会话题的深刻思考和讨论,造成思考模式的僵化与狭隘,因而论证非常空洞、缺乏说服力,写的太官腔。
那么,应该如何对大作文进行有力的论证呢?最常用的方式就是解释和例证,几乎在每一篇雅思大作文中,都可以看见这两种论证方法的身影。
下面关于work at home or study at home的一段例证:
IBM, one of the business giants, has saved nearly 70 million US dollars in its northeastern region by promoting telecommuting, which has been a driving force to other enterprises to convert their normal working staff into telecommuters. Companies in Japan are one of them and plan to launch the scheme in 2009, which, in turn, spiritually wins more supports from the existing employees, and attracts new hires. 这段话中的2个例子都较好地完成了若员工选择在家上班,会对公司带来积极的作用这一证明。
此外,提醒考生们需要注意的是,雅思大作文明确指出give reasons or examples from your own experience, 这里的your own experience和your personal experience是完全不同的概念。前者是指通过个人的学习和总结而获得的经验,后者是指个人经历或周围某个个体的故事。如谈到working hard produces better results, your own experience的例子一定是some 3-year-high school students usually stay up late to review lessons and prepare for next day classes, 而your personal experience的例子则应该是my roommate, Tony has always been working hard on studies and staying up late every night, 不难看出两者的区别。故雅思大作文是不能使用个人案例的论据的,这一点与新托福的写作也是不同的。
另外,数据论证也是一个重要的方法,同时也是国外文章中非常常见的。使用这种方式,需要注意两点:数据和数据的来源。数据的真实性不重要,但至少要看上去是真实的。如:A survey by the latest Ministry of Labours opinion poll shows that more companies would like to open their doors to disabled people, as long as they can access to modern technology, and the rate has been increasing every year by 5% since 2003.
使用数据论证,提醒考生们不要刻意将数据夸张,这样反而会降低数据的真实可靠性。常见的句型有a survey by.shows that / a research by.finds out that / a study by.suggests that / Statistics by.conclude that省略号的部分是需要根据文章的内容来填写的数据来源出处或机构。常用的机构包括:国外大学、学院、报纸、杂志、电视台、之声、网站、研究机构、民意调查等。我们按顺序给大家做一个示范:the University of Sussex, Business College of several European countries, the USATODAY, state media CNN, BBC Talking Point, Childwise.com, American Institute for Research, Harris Interactive Poll等,考生可按照自己的情况,来准备几个备选方案以供使用。
第三个常见的论证方法要数对比论证了。对比论证可以是一个东西或行为的正反面对比,也可以是一种现象的时间前后的论证。如下面关于是否moving to regional areas的例子:
Staffs used to complain about the crowded offices shared with climbing number of colleagues, the acute shortage of parking lots, the expensive luncheon, and the tedious civic landscape filled up with cement, steel rods and ceramic tiles. Now, companies can move to larger spaces, like industrial parks in the regional areas equipped with more personalized facilities, ranging from regular shuttle bus service, areas for relaxation, and more comfortable meeting rooms to hold a larger group of audience。
使用对比论证法可以让段落的内容和字数大幅度提高。上面的这段论述,完全可以只写搬迁到郊外办公后对员工的利益;但是增加了前面staff used to的内容,能够加倍体现迁移的好处,前后形成一个鲜明的对比,增加文章的说服力。不过,需要特别注意的是,若使用不当,对比论证也可能让文章变得乏味。比如上面的例子中,在staff used to这段文字中讲到了员工的种种抱怨,如果在后面的利益中接着谈搬迁到郊外后停车车位不紧缺、午饭便宜、办公室宽敞等内容的话,大家不难发现这样的论证其实是很无趣的。所以选择对比论证法一方面可以增加论证的内容,另一方面也加大了考生寻找论据的难度,也就是说考生需要找不同方面的内容填塞到对比论证中。
总结起来,建议考生们可以改变一下自己的论证方法,就可以大大的改观雅思写作大作文中讲大道理的情况,比如对比论证法等等,这些都能让自己的雅思写作大作文论证过程更严谨、有说服力里,同时避免官腔。
