2016年雅思议论文写作高分技巧(二)

在本系列文章上篇中,雅思写作最常见的两种提问方式(1) To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2) Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.及它们的应对方法已经得到了深刻的剖析;那么在本篇论文中,朗阁海外考试研究中心将就雅思大作文剩余的三种提问方式(3) What is your opinion? (4) What are the benefits and disadvantages? / Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages? (5) What are the reasons, effects or solutions?应该如何回答论证进行仔细的解答。

本系列文章中,笔者仍然以雅思考试最经典的方向标作品——剑桥系列书籍Cambridge IELTS 1-8中考官给出的Sample Answer 和Model Answer为参考范本对各个话题及应对方式进行具体详尽的讲解和分析。

Ø What is your opinion?

此种提问方式属于雅思写作几种提问中最开放、最自由的提问;考生只需就题目中出现的某个话题或是看法发表自己的相关意见,而不用纠结是否完全赞同还是反对。也可以说这种提问是我们常见的To what extent do you agree or disagree的变式提法,只要你的回答是围绕着题目走,而未偏题的答案都可以接受。以对班级规模大小的题目为例,some people think larger class size is a good choice while others argue that small class teaching is better. 若是提问What is your opinion的话,则可以有以下多种回答:认为大班好;认为小班好;认为大班小班都好;认为班级规模大小要取决于学生的年龄段或是具体的科目;认为大班小班都不好而中班好等。

那么此类提法是考生在考试过程中需要特别注意的吗?事实上就我们出现的真题及剑桥书籍来看,并不是十分常见的。就目前市面上的Cambridge IELTS 1-8的考题来看,一共出现过2次此类提问的考题,分别为Cambridge IELTS3 Test3和Cambridge IELTS7 Test4的两题。当然这也并不能说明它不重要,而恰恰相反的是它十分重要,因为真正掌握了这种提问方式,对于考生更好地了解赞同与否的题目有极大的帮助。

Cambridge IELTS3 Test3:In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this? 对于这道有关孩子的paid work的问题,我们可以就考官给出的Model Answer来进行具体的分析并且掌握回答的方式及布局。通读全文后,我们不难发现,考官并未像之前看的赞同题那样直接在开头段给出明确的答复,而是认为It is difficult to say who has the right to judge whether children working is wrong or valuable. Opinions will also differ as to learning benefits. 并且在接下去的一个段落中进行了论证,提出了一些“wrong”和“less learning”的证明:It is an unfortunate fact that many employers may prefer to use the services of children simply to save money. 而在主体第二段中提到有些work的valuable:in many countries children work because their families need the additional income, no matter how small. 而在最后一段又提及建议part-time jobs or doing tasks around the family home.

由此我们并不难看出,考官并未直接说明对孩子工作是支持还是不支持,而是围绕孩子工作的问题,采用了客观的态度,分情况来论证说明。考生在回答类似提问时自然也可以试用。

Ø What are the benefits and disadvantages?

优缺题在雅思写作中一般有3种提法:(1) Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages(最常见),如2010.11.27考题:In some countries, small town-centre shops are going out of business because people tend to drive to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limited access to out-of town stores, and it may result in an increase in the use of cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantages? (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages? (3) Is this a positive or negative development,如2010年10月14日考题:In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicant for their age. Is this a positive or negative development? 朗阁海外考试研究中心建议各位考生在回答时一定要仔细审题,绝不可以想当然地随意套用。

以考官在剑5中给出的参考范文为例,就优缺题进行分析:In some countries 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. 题目中明确提出了要求讨论优点和缺点,那么自然文章段落安排应该是4段,优缺点各一段。考官在优点段落中提到:They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life. 而在缺点段第一句话就提到:However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. 更值得注意的是对于此类题目,不仅分析优缺两方面,考官还在结尾段落中明确给出了自己的看法:My view is that young people should be encouraged to … 考生在完成类似提问时自然也可以学习这种写法,让全文更客观公正。

Ø What are the reasons, effects or solutions?

这种提问方式是一般被称为分析解决型的文章所有的提问,可以是分析原因,也可以是说明影响,当然也可以提出建议,甚至是同一题目要求回答其中的2-3个问题。所以对于这种提问,考生也只需要做好认真读题审题,做到“问啥答啥”即可。
