Hi, everyone, I'm Jade, what we're talking about today is writing a conclusion for an IELTS exam or a CAE exam.
大家好,我是Jade,今天我要教你们在雅思考试或者CAE考试的作文中写一个结尾部分。
So I'm going to give you two ways to write conclusions so that when you get to the end,
我会教给你们两种写结尾的方法,这样当你们文章写到最后的时候,
you don't just sort of put a full stop that doesn't really say anything extra, that doesn't feel like a conclusion.
就不会只写个句号,什么额外的内容也不写了,那样看上去根本不像个结尾。
Because when you write a conclusion, a good conclusion has a different tone, there's something that feels finished about it.
因为当你们写结尾时,一个好的结尾有一种不一样的语气,会让人觉得这篇文章真的结束了。
And more generally, your conclusion should be your last chance to impress,
而且,通常结尾应该是你们最后一次能惊艳考官的机会,
to show that examiner all that English that you know and how fluent you are when you're writing in English.
能够向他展示那些你们懂得的英语知识,以及你们在用英语写作时有多么流利。
And you should leave the reader with an additional thought in the end, ideally, when you're writing a conclusion.
理想地来说,你们在写结尾的时候,应该在文章最后给读者留有想象空间。
So let's look at a typical IELTS kind of question.
我们来看一道典型的雅思作文题吧。
"Some people think that parents should teach their children to be good members of society.
“有些人认为家长应该教育他们的孩子成为优秀的社会成员。
However, others believe school is the best place to learn this."
然而,其他人则认为学校才是学习这个的最佳场所。”
And then the IELTS question would say: "Share your experience, and give reasons for your answers."
然后雅思作文的题干会写着:“请结合自身经历写下你的看法,并给出理由。”
So let's imagine that you've already written your essay.
我们假设你们已经写了这篇作文了。
So, how do you begin your conclusion?
那么,结尾要如何下笔呢?
The... the first way I'm going to tell you, I'm going to call it the "As I have discussed" conclusion.
我要告诉你们的第一个方法,我称它为"As I have discussed"式结尾。
And there are three parts to writing this conclusion.
这种结尾有三个部分。
And I'm giving you the structure so that you can see how you can put a conclusion together just by putting different pieces in there.
我会把整个结构给你们,这样你们就知道如何通过仅仅把不同的部分放进去就能拼凑出一个结尾。
And now, this is... this is great for an IELTS essay.
这个方法对雅思考试的作文来说非常适用。
It's not a super imaginative kind of conclusion that would be great at university, but for IELTS, it's... it's good for IELTS.
虽然这不是非常适合于大学作文的那种极具想象力的结尾,但是对雅思考试来说......它很适合雅思考试。
So, here are the three parts for this conclusion: "As I have discussed".
下面是这种结尾的三个部分:第一部分是"As I have discussed"。
Then: "However" sentence with "I" or, you know, using your subjectivity, basically.
然后是带"I",或者任何主观性词汇的"However"句子。
And then making a moral or social observation in the first conditional.
最后一部分是用第一条件句做一个道德观察评价或社会观察评价。
