雅思寫作技巧之二:話題準備(下)
GROUP TWO:
【真題實例】:
寫作:Children should be sent to kindergarten as early as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
口語:What do you think is the most suitable age for children to start school? (Part 3 questions)
【指點迷津】: 一眼即可看出這組話題問法幾乎完全一致。相似指數(shù) ★★★★★。關(guān)于孩子的話題還有更多,如科技媒體(電腦廣告)對孩子的影響,父母和老師對孩子的影響力哪個更大些。寫作口語均有涉及,可一起準備。
六、藝術(shù)、時尚類
該類話題無論是在口語還是寫作中出現(xiàn)對于很多考生而言都不是好消息,屬于“殺鴨”題,為難了眾多烤鴨們。由于屬于偏難話題,下面結(jié)合實例給出一些思路和短語,以供參考。
GROUP ONE:
【真題實例】:
寫作:Some people argue that the government should spend money only on medical care and education but not on theatres or museums. Do you agree or disagree?
口語:Do you think the government should invest more funds in building art museums? (Part 3 questions)
【指點迷津】: 寫作話題中反方觀點要敘述政府投資劇院和博物館的理由,與口語話題直接重合。投資的必要性體現(xiàn)在:豐富了人們的生活(enrich one’s cultural life);弘揚文化傳統(tǒng)(carry forward a country’s traditional culture),達到教育的目的(serve as a means of education)。
GROUP TWO:
【真題實例】:
寫作:Fashion is difficult to follow, and some people argue that we should not follow it. They think that we should dress what we like and feel comfortable. Do you agree or disagree?
口語:What’s your opinion of fashion? Do you think it’s necessary to wear fashionable clothes?? (Part 1 questions)
【指點迷津】: 寫作和口語話題中均涉及到要不要追求時尚,還是注重舒適或者習慣。支持追隨潮流的觀點有:是一種自我表達方式(a means of self-expression); 反應了生活趨勢(reflect the trend of life)。而對立方的理由有:潮流一直在變,追求它浪費時間和金錢(money-consuming); 容易失去自我判斷力。
以上六大類的前五項是寫作和口語的重點??荚掝},需要特別關(guān)注。建議大家在準備這五類寫作話題時積極思考,衍生出口語話題,并選用寫作詞匯中相對簡單生活化的單詞強化發(fā)音訓練,以應用于口語問題的解答。牢記一點,口語和寫作詞匯都是在不斷的使用中記住的。最后一項文化時尚話題屬于冷不丁出現(xiàn)的難話題,除此之外還有文化傳統(tǒng)類、動物類、犯罪類。有余力的情況下朗閣海外考試研究中心也建議大家用同樣的方法在準備寫作題目的同時兼顧口語,使兩者相得益彰。
