随着出国留学热潮的继续涌动,出国留学人数日益飙升,尤其是考生们的考试水平的显著提升,都对剑桥考试委员会提出了挑战,导致他们不得不更加兢兢业业、绞尽脑汁、穷其心智地制造各种题目和题型来测试辛勤的烤鸭,所以特此,我也兢兢业业、绞尽脑汁、竭尽全力地为大家破解一下雅思大作文的秘密,让我们也学学孙子“知己知彼,百战不殆”。
剑5(4套)
C5T1
WRITE TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
要想认真细致地解析题干信息,我们最好能做到以下3个步骤,以确保更合理的文章结构和更加紧扣主题的观点:
Step1: 首先关注题目以外的考试要求,“give reasons”“include any relevant examples”在此试题明确要求考生给出原因和例子,所以烤鸭们应该着重复习因果论证和举例论证,按照考试明确要求,在文章中必须使用因果论证和举例论证,而其他的论证方法就可以选择性地使用啦。
(这部分“要求”,在每个考试题目下方都有,而且都一样,所以之后不再赘述。)
Step2: “To what extent do you agree or disagree?”,何谓“extent”?汉语意思是“程度”=degree,也就意味着,你可以100%同意,80%同意,和50%同意等等,也就是说agree类型题目的文章结构是相对比较灵活的,所以该题型及其变体(positive or negative/advantages outweigh disadvantages)一直都是雅思考试的测试重点。针对这种题型,烤鸭们应该根据自己“同意的程度”在开头段的表态句适当操作,暗示下文主题。比如“100%同意”,你可以写I am in complete agreement with the claim.等类似表达。“80%同意”,可以写I personally tend to show my preference to the point. “50%同意”,可以写I treat this point with both positive and negative attitudes. 如此以来,表达观点的同时又能暗示下文结构,很好地完成开头段的“引出”任务。
Step3: “Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.”找出题目中的关键词是准确解题的关键,而关键词一般为名词(偶尔会有动词,但考生一定能够找得到)。有了这些关键词,观点就比较容易找到了,比如
disagree:
理由1:相同数量的男女学生对于university来说并没有明显的好处,这样做可能很浪费时间和人力资源。
理由2: equal numbers of male and female students对于学习并没有多大的促进因素。尽管男生女生在思维方式和处理问题方法上的差异可以彼此互补,但是没必要一定人数相同。
理由3: every subject的男女学生数量都相等是很难实现的。专业的选择应该更注重学生的兴趣、成绩、专业能力等,而非性别。
(ps:为了使文章观点更让宝贝学生们理解,才将理由写得这样细致,孩子们在考场上只需要记录一些关键词就可以啦!)
C5T2
In some counties young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.
step1: 所有题目的统一要求无需重复。
step2: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.讨论优缺点,并没有要求“give your own opinion”所以这样的题目可以表达自己的态度,也可以不用明确给出自己的观点,只要讨论了优缺点即可,并在结尾出将优缺点进行总结。
step3: 关键词——In some counties young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.
优点:
(1) young people 通过work发现自己的兴趣,从而在大学里选择更适合自己的专业。
(2) young people 通过travel开拓自己的视野,在未来大学学习时思维更广阔更有创造性。
缺点:
(1)用a year去work or travel时间有点长,不能按正常年龄毕业,但是获得了一年的经验和见识也是值得的。
C5T3
Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
step1: 所有题目的统一要求无需重复。
step2: Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.题干明确要求讨论双方,并给出自己的观点,这里是必须要明确给出自己的观点的,可以偏向于某一个观点,也可以两个观点都同意,甚至否认两个观点。但是必须两个方面都要谈到,并且一般在开头或结尾给出自己的观点。
step3: 关键词——Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults.
孩子应该学会竞争:
(1)竞争可以让孩子们在与别人的比较重提高自己的能力。
(2)学会看到别人的长处
(3)但是应该尽量避免功利心
孩子应该学会合作:
(1) 到了成年步入社会,应该学习与人合作。
(2) 通过竞争培养了自身能力,也要通过合作的方式去施展才华,否则会变得孤立。
C5T4
Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life.
Which do you consider to be the major influence?
step1: 所有题目的统一要求无需重复。
step2: Which do you consider to be the major influence? “which”就说明,必须在一定范围内选择观点来进行描述,而不能自己给出第三种选择,就该题而言就是要谈“天性”对一个人性格和发展的影响+“后天经历”对性格和发展的影响。
step3: 关键词——Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life.
观点:后天经历影响更多一些:
理由1)天性决定一个人基本性格(星座——按生辰八字进行性格分析)。
理由2)后天的经历不会改变一个人的本质,但是可以丰富一个人的性格。
理由3)后天的经历会改变一个人的三观,从而影响这个人的发展方向。
小结:
剑5的大作文给我们的启示是:
(1) 题目要求是多样的,而且不同要求对应不同文章结构. 比如“To what extent do you agree or disagree?”,“Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.”,“Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.”,“Which do you consider to be the major influence?”
(2) 题干中的关键词是我们罗列观点的关键,一般情况下关键词多为名词。
