雅思大作文拿高分技巧
1、審題不清
這個(gè)問題的出現(xiàn)除了因?yàn)榕既豢村e(cuò)題目，抓錯(cuò)關(guān)鍵詞之外，更主要的原因是理解上的問題。
例如，有這樣的一道題：“技術(shù)的范圍在不斷增加貧富差距。你在多大程度上同意這個(gè)說法?” “The range of technology is increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. To what extent do you agree?”.
有的學(xué)生寫成：現(xiàn)在每個(gè)人包括乞丐都有手機(jī)，所以，這個(gè)社會(huì)沒有貧富差距了;還有人寫成：技術(shù)就是差距，古代沒有技術(shù)很窮，現(xiàn)在技術(shù)很富;還有人寫成：現(xiàn)在人口增長了，窮人和富人的數(shù)量都增長了。
其實(shí)，這道題的題干很簡單，一眼便能看出題目的意思。問題在于，有的同學(xué)審題馬虎，沒有仔細(xì)研讀、沒有深入思考就匆匆落筆。
其實(shí)，題目的本意是問你：是不是技術(shù)越發(fā)達(dá)，造成的貧富差距越大?或者說，是不是技術(shù)的覆蓋范圍越大，造成的貧富差距越大?通俗地講，是不是要把貧富差距怪罪到技術(shù)頭上?
理解正確以后，你可以用一兩句話說出你的觀點(diǎn)(確實(shí)如此/并非如此)，然后在主體段陳述你的理由，最后總結(jié)時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)一下你的觀點(diǎn)就可以了。
然而，不少同學(xué)由于英語基礎(chǔ)較差，題目上如有一兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵的單詞不認(rèn)識(shí)，就會(huì)造成無法落筆或者導(dǎo)向性錯(cuò)誤。
另外，有的同學(xué)雖然題目上每個(gè)單詞都認(rèn)識(shí)，但由于題目本身是個(gè)復(fù)雜句子，在理解上有困難，于是胡猜一氣，匆匆落筆。這樣，結(jié)果可想而知。
比如像這樣一道含有五個(gè)從句的題目，雖然沒有生詞，但因?yàn)樗且粋�(gè)比較復(fù)雜的句子，英語基礎(chǔ)差的同學(xué)看起來不一定能完全理解，這也是影響審題的一個(gè)障礙：
"Do you agree or disagree with the statement that children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents?"這道題問：“你同意還是不同意這樣的說法：比起富人家的孩子，窮人家的孩子將來長大后能更好的應(yīng)對(duì)生活中的問題?”理解到這個(gè)程度，審題應(yīng)該沒有問題了。
這樣看來，審題也是與英語基礎(chǔ)和理解能力相關(guān)的，所以，還是需要學(xué)習(xí)和訓(xùn)練。
2、沒有思想
雅思寫作的話題覆蓋教育、生態(tài)環(huán)境、自然資源、動(dòng)物保護(hù)、科技與發(fā)明、媒體與廣告、政府與城市化、社會(huì)與家庭、犯罪與法律、文化、語言、旅游、全球化、職業(yè)發(fā)展與生活方式以及其他抽象的社會(huì)問題。
所以，我們說雅思寫作不僅考語言水平，而且還考語言所裹挾的思想。如果你對(duì)上述社會(huì)問題從來沒有思考過，甚至面對(duì)題目根本不知所云，你那蘊(yùn)含什么思想的答卷交給閱卷老師?你拿什么成績交給報(bào)考學(xué)校?
談到思想，那是個(gè)大而深刻的話題。很多人非常健談，有很多說不完的話題;但若不經(jīng)專門的知識(shí)訓(xùn)練、話題訓(xùn)練和閱讀訓(xùn)練，是難以上升到理想的思想高度的'。
遺憾的是，不少同學(xué)沒有靜心學(xué)習(xí)的習(xí)慣和耐力，整天想著走捷徑，天真的以為會(huì)有一蹴而就的靈丹妙藥，稍稍點(diǎn)撥就會(huì)了。殊不知，思想方面的東西沒有一定的學(xué)習(xí)積累誰也代替不了你。
可以負(fù)責(zé)任的說，那種短期集訓(xùn)速成、包含承諾達(dá)到某個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)的說法絕大多數(shù)都是陷阱、引君入甕，然后甕中捉鱉，掏干你的口袋。最后的結(jié)果是，缺乏具有真知灼見和說服力的思想，語言水平再高的文章，那等級(jí)自然也就降下去了。
3、思維混亂
邏輯訓(xùn)練是一門要求較高、僅次于思想訓(xùn)練的專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。缺乏這方面訓(xùn)練的同學(xué)勢必在寫作時(shí)前言不搭后語，給人思維混亂的感覺。
最簡便的訓(xùn)練方式就是加強(qiáng)連詞和過渡詞的正確運(yùn)用訓(xùn)練。這聽起來似乎很簡單，但實(shí)際上牽涉到三類從句的運(yùn)用以及句子與句子的邏輯關(guān)系的準(zhǔn)確把握。不經(jīng)過系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)，背幾個(gè)連詞及句型有可能在考試中“瞎貓遇見死老鼠”，碰巧被不明就里的閱卷老師撞見而賞點(diǎn)分?jǐn)?shù)，但作為長效機(jī)制，最好把連詞、過渡詞及三大從句學(xué)好。接著就是怎樣井然有序又合乎邏輯地將你的思想一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地呈現(xiàn)給讀者了。
比如， 雅思題目說“女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一定比男性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)國家或者世界方面更好。你在多大程度上同意還是不同意?”
假如你說“不一定”，那么這就是你的思想觀點(diǎn)。但如果你說"Not necessarily"，這只是日常對(duì)話的口語說法，你得用“Women leaders are not necessarily better than men leaders in leading a country or the world."這樣的句子。接著你必須解釋原因、給出實(shí)例或引經(jīng)據(jù)典，最后再繞回到你的觀點(diǎn)中來，但不能簡單地重復(fù)中心思想句或主題句。
比如有的學(xué)生這樣解釋就很好："Although women are more gentle and less aggressive, they still cannot stop the occurrence of such problems as economic difficulties or world wars. Some people may say that women are more patient, considerate and understanding. However, as we can see, there are some countries which have women presidents and still problems have not been solved."
這種采取讓步，然后再出擊的手法就很有力量和見地，“雖然女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人更溫和、更有耐心，但遇到經(jīng)濟(jì)及戰(zhàn)爭問題，她們?nèi)匀徊荒軓氐捉鉀Q”。
接著舉例，“Germany and South Korea are the two examples in point. The two women leaders have better communication skills than men. Nonetheless, Germany still has problems about racism and South Korea is on the edge of battle with North Korea." 舉德國和韓國的例子，說德國的種族歧視問題和韓國面臨的南北韓問題并沒有因?yàn)閮蓢念I(lǐng)導(dǎo)人是女性而有所解決。
最后用改寫主題句的方式強(qiáng)調(diào)一下你的觀點(diǎn)，"Therefore, it is groundless to say that women leaders are better at managing national or international affairs." “因此，說女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在管理國家或國際事務(wù)方面勝于男性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人是毫無根據(jù)的。”
這種條分縷析、層層推進(jìn)的學(xué)術(shù)語言無論是英語語言還是翻譯成漢語，都不是那些思想貧瘠的大白話所能替代的。這都是一段時(shí)間潛心學(xué)習(xí)的結(jié)果。如果不經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)，任何人都不可能天生會(huì)有思想和合乎邏輯的思想表述。
4、句式錯(cuò)誤
我見過寫作中各種類型的錯(cuò)誤，有些如拼寫、單復(fù)數(shù)、時(shí)態(tài)、主謂一致等方面的低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤，只要認(rèn)真檢查，考生一般可以自己糾正。
但大多數(shù)“高級(jí)錯(cuò)誤”，如長句子缺乏主句或謂語動(dòng)詞等等，就比較隱蔽了。這種錯(cuò)誤扣分極為嚴(yán)重，而且考生一般不易發(fā)現(xiàn)，因?yàn)檫@牽涉到句式結(jié)構(gòu)問題。如沒有經(jīng)過長難句的專門訓(xùn)練，寫作中很容易寫出多個(gè)這類高級(jí)錯(cuò)誤句，錯(cuò)到最后直至影響意義表達(dá)，閱卷老師面對(duì)你的試卷如墜云霧，根本就不知所云，你怎么會(huì)拿到好分?jǐn)?shù)呢?
