9、閱讀】雅思寫作技巧1.Task Achievement (任務(wù)完成度)就是你是否覆蓋了所有的寫作要求雅思寫作有大小兩個寫作任務(wù)(Task1和Task2)，大家在寫作之前一定要進行審題，其實雅思寫作是很容易偏題或是審錯題的!Task 1小作文大多數(shù)情況出的是常規(guī)的表圖、線圖、條形圖，再就是出現(xiàn)頻率不那么高的流程圖了(話說一個月一次的頻率)，然后就是頻率更低的地圖題，還有一種就是物品比較題，這種很少會碰到。它的要求很有可能是：“Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make compa

10、risons where relevant.”(選擇并描述圖表中的主要信息，并在必要之處進行比較。)仔細讀題的話，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)Task 1的寫作要求一清二楚，共有三個部分：(1)“選擇性的進行描述”，選擇圖表中的重要信息，你要記住無需所有的信息你都需要寫出來。所謂重要信息，一般是指極值、中間值、趨勢(特別是從圖表中總結(jié)出的趨勢走向)等等。例如一張餅狀圖中占比最大與最小的部分分別是什么、數(shù)值幾何;一條折線總體上升或下降等等。由于這個部分絕大多數(shù)的信息均為數(shù)字、百分比，所以要學(xué)會怎樣用不同方式表達數(shù)字。例如，“占35%”可表達為“account for 35%”, “represent 35%”, “

11、take up 35%”, “occupy 35%”, “the percentage.is 35%”等等。(2)“比較性地進行描述”，這點非常重要，對于給定的重要信息，要做出靈活的比較，從而能得出圖表中走向趨勢。如某一部分為另一部分的幾倍、等于某幾部分之和、不同時間段與地區(qū)某項指標(biāo)趨勢的差別等等。Task 2的題目形式也較為固定，總是先對一(兩)個現(xiàn)象或觀點進行描述，然后按要求進行討論。分類來看，主要有：(1) “Do you agree/disagree”類此類話題一般甩出一個觀點或命題，并且要求你“站隊”。例如“Some people believe that childrens lei

12、sure activities must be educational, otherwise they are a complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?”在作文的第一段最好就明確給出自己的“答案”，即對于此觀點是同意還是反對。此類話題不建議“折中”，因為觀點不鮮明。(2) “Discuss the advantage/disadvantage”類很有可能題干只提供一個事實，然后需要你對該事實進行正反面的討論。例如“Some parents choose to send students into single-sex schools

13、. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these schools?”(3)“Whats your opinion”類這類題目一般會給出兩個觀點，然后要求你“給出自己觀點”。此類題目是有技巧的，在謀篇布局上也有規(guī)律可循：首先，開頭段落要靈活換用其他表述，將題干內(nèi)容進行復(fù)述;接下來的兩段要分別對題干里提到的兩個方面都進行論述，并且充分說明;最后，明確提出自己的見解或建議。2. Cohesion and Coherence(銜接與連貫)前后觀點連貫完整，行文銜接自然。連貫性，就是在篇幅、用詞、結(jié)構(gòu)等方面突出你的主要思想。比如當(dāng)你贊同某一種觀點的

14、時候，應(yīng)當(dāng)自然地將更多篇幅用于論證它、用更確定的詞句表述、把相關(guān)段落放在前面。一旦你把這個過程搞反了把重心移給了觀點的反面，便會讓人疑惑：你支持的觀點究竟是怎樣的?連貫性的另一體現(xiàn)在于文章的發(fā)展。好的雅思作文應(yīng)當(dāng)能看出段落之間的遞進關(guān)系。(1)如果你要贊同某觀點，那么可以安排三個方面來論述：一般原因深層原因反面論證。也可以正方觀點反方觀點分析總結(jié)。(2)如果要提出自己觀點，可以安排三個或四個段落：已有觀點1已有觀點2自己觀點總結(jié)共通與不同。銜接是門大學(xué)問。需要大家能在詞匯、短語、代詞和從句上面進行逐步突破自己寫作的銜接性：(1)短語。本質(zhì)上與詞匯相同，但更靈活。最常用的有類似“due to”,

15、 “now that”, “in contrast”等。使用短語還另有好處，它要求你將前面已述的內(nèi)容再做一次簡練的歸納，然后再引出后文論述。這有助于文章連貫性、完整性的體現(xiàn)。大家可根據(jù)自身情況進行銜接語匯積累，購買相應(yīng)的書籍查閱，還可有意識地選擇一些作為你的“常用”語料。(2)代詞。寫作時往往不需用詞匯來提示銜接關(guān)系，只需用代詞開始下句話即可。例如“Recreational activities are crucial to the well-being of modern citizens under pressure. They serve as outlets of unsatisfactory moods and refill residents energy tanks.”(3)從句。往往用銜接詞連起來的句子也可以用一個簡單的定語從句或狀語從句連接。這樣做可以展示你對語言的控制力，也很有效地豐富了語法。For example：例用銜接詞，兩句話：Political decay is par
