雅思寫作有小作文和大作文兩部分租場,兩部分的時間合計為60分鐘。由于大作文所占的分數(shù)比重是小作文的兩倍,同時該部分A類與G類考題內(nèi)容以及問題形式趨于一致,也是中國考生錯誤比較密集的部分,所以接下來的內(nèi)容將圍繞著大作文部分展開。下面我們就來看看在大作文中,考生常會犯的錯。

雅思寫作考生常犯錯誤

一、語言絕對化

根據(jù)能量守恒定律(Law of energy conservation),即“各種能量形式互相轉(zhuǎn)換是有方向和條件限制的,能量相互轉(zhuǎn)換時其量值不變,表明能量不能被創(chuàng)造或消滅”,人們在使用語言描述事物變化時,應盡可能避免語言過于絕對化,尤其是在使用第二語言進行正式的書面表述時,更應該注意該語言中非絕對化表達方式的學習,這樣才能盡顯文章內(nèi)容的客觀性。

二、只回答部分問題

An increasing number of people are moving and living in big cities. Why is this case? Is it a positive or negative trend? (2010年1月23日 G類) 該題有兩個問題,很多考生在作答時忽視了第一問,只回答第二問,抑或是把第一問和該現(xiàn)象積極的一面混為一談,如:

On the one hand, living in big cities brings about a considerable number of advantages, which is also why people move to big cities. Initially, it is undeniable that work conditions in big cities are usually better that those in countries and small cities. With more work opportunities and a higher level of salary, people in other places, especially the young, are inclined to move to big cities. Subsequently, not only does living in big cities offer people better work conditions, but also it affords dwellers with facilities of higher quality. These facilities, such as the premium hospitals and education resources, are extremely attractive to countryside people and those in small cities. (考生答卷)

三、跑題、偏題嚴重

如Some people think that foreign tourists abroad should be charged more than local people to visit a country’s cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011年4月30日A類)

就該題而言,很多考生將意思是“收費”的charged一詞理解為“控制”,而該詞是我們在中學階段就已經(jīng)學習過的。這就很容易導致作文跑題,而跑題的作文分數(shù)為5分。

四、文章沒有分段

產(chǎn)生該問題的原因主要有:1. 觀點數(shù)量少;2. 不知道觀點如何展開;3. 寫作速度太慢。那么,要在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)滿足字數(shù)要求,考生需要想出足夠多的觀點,學習如何展開觀點,熟練運用復雜句并提高寫作速度。接下來我們將分析如何滿足以上要求:
