在雅思寫(xiě)作的題型中discussion是一種出現(xiàn)頻率非常高的題型,此類(lèi)題通常的出題形式是Some people think... Others...Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Some people和others的陣營(yíng)我們往往必然會(huì)同意一方,或者是雙方都同意,。怎樣解此類(lèi)考題呢?來(lái)看看新東方在線(xiàn)謝爽老師的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
對(duì)于discussion類(lèi)考題,許多同學(xué)會(huì)認(rèn)為雙方都同意會(huì)比較好寫(xiě),因?yàn)榭梢詢(xún)蓚€(gè)陣營(yíng)的看法分別分析,再寫(xiě)一段混合作用,相互影響的段落作為自己的看法,這樣看起來(lái)結(jié)構(gòu)整齊,條理清晰,還不用愁字?jǐn)?shù)的問(wèn)題。但事實(shí)上想拿高分卻并沒(méi)有這么簡(jiǎn)單。
雅思考試是一個(gè)不同于國(guó)內(nèi)傳統(tǒng)的英語(yǔ)考試的語(yǔ)言水平測(cè)試,題目的設(shè)置確實(shí)遵循了檢驗(yàn)考生語(yǔ)言水平的目標(biāo),但是其中的寫(xiě)作和口語(yǔ)部分也體現(xiàn)了西方民主文化的氣息。在這兩個(gè)部分中,除了過(guò)硬的英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ),考官同時(shí)也期待看到一個(gè)有見(jiàn)解,有邏輯,有想法的你,因此題目的設(shè)計(jì)有的時(shí)候會(huì)讓我們之前的規(guī)劃落空,因?yàn)槟遣皇钦鎸?shí)的我們——我們要做自己。
咱們一起來(lái)看兩道非常有代表性的真題:
C6 TEST2
Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified in other important professions.Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
咱們一起來(lái)看一下這道題,同一個(gè)人對(duì)于同一件事,應(yīng)該是不太可能同時(shí)覺(jué)得“即公平又不公平”的,所以那種兩個(gè)陣營(yíng)分別說(shuō),最后再混合的辦法肯定是行不通的了。那應(yīng)該怎么寫(xiě)呢?答案其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單——做自己,具體操作方法為:想想反方的理由,寫(xiě)出相應(yīng)的反駁路局(主體段第一段);充分表達(dá)自己的想法(主題段第二段)。大家看看P164頁(yè)考官的范文,感覺(jué)一下,是不是讀起來(lái)很痛快呢;或者你會(huì)很氣憤,隨時(shí)歡迎有不同看法的同學(xué)發(fā)送自己的文章給我們,你的論證也許比會(huì)考官更有力。
下面我們繼續(xù)來(lái)看幾道,更加民主的題目吧:
(2016.03.19)Some people think that governments should pay for people’s healthcare while others argue that it should be people’s own responsibility. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
(2015.12.19)Some people think cultural traditions are destroyed when they are used as making-money attraction to aim at tourists. Others think it is the only way to save them. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
(2015.10.24)Some people say that playing computer games is bad for children in every way. Others say that playing computer games can have positive effects on children’s development. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
看完你們?cè)趺聪?,是不是都不同意,是不是兩個(gè)陣營(yíng)的都不同意?如果你也是這樣,沒(méi)關(guān)系,讓我們一起來(lái)看看考官是怎么做到“做自己,拿高分的”:
C6Test4: Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing.
Discuss both view and give your own opinion.
我們現(xiàn)在來(lái)看一下考官的做法“However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change is always for the better’. 是不是很機(jī)智,而且很學(xué)術(shù),大家直接拿去用吧“However, reaching the conclusion that +A陣營(yíng)不對(duì)+is not the same as assuming that ‘B陣營(yíng)就是完全正確的’”
最后,剩下的另外一種discussion 題型中的題目,就是完全符合大家美好規(guī)劃的了,比如C7 Test1。大家可以重新刷刷discussion 的題目,在雅思備考中繼續(xù)做那個(gè)有邏輯,有想法,有創(chuàng)意的自己吧。新東方在線(xiàn)祝大家考試順利!
