原来写出高分雅思作文,要有雅思考官的滤镜
做考官期间,从我考官同事们最常听到的抱怨是:
这些小孩为何没读懂题就想回答?
为何这些小孩没看懂题就想去写?
这些小孩真的知道自己在写什么吗?
为何总是千遍一律的回答?
你看,连句子都是一样的!
大家都知道雅思大作文评分标准有四项
TR (task response)
CC (coherence & cohesion)
LR (lexical resource)
GRA (grammatical range andaccuracy)
在2017年以前,几乎市面上所有的雅思老师都在讲哪个句型好?
哪个词汇高档?
2019后,经过 Tai、Rocco、和我一连串的正确备考观念传播
许多老师终于明白之前的雅思备考方式需要重大改变
其实我们雅思考官们是这样改雅思大作文的
在四项评分标准中,我们考官最看重的是TR (task response)
毕竟是最能够一眼看出这个考生有没有 the ability to communicate 的指标
Task Response 是看你写的这篇作文切不切题
有没有直接正面有效的回答问题
Cohesion 和 coherence 是看你这篇文章读起来有没有连贯性和逻辑性
是第二重要的指标
毕竟整篇文章乱糟糟看不出重点
东一句,西一句的
根本彰显不了考生有用英语沟通的能力
LR 和 GRA 就不多加解释了
LR是词汇用的精不精准,GRA是语法知否正确
一般市面上的老师们看 TR / CC / LR / GRA 是分开看的
但其实并不是这样
我们考官改考卷都是 holistic grading(全面性打分)
意思就是我们是以很全面的去看一篇作文
假如整篇文章我们大概能看的出你的中心思想
每句话也看的懂但是每句话都有 chinglish (chinglish蛮多,常常会影响到考官阅读)
我们会整篇文章先定位在一个 6
6分以下(5.5 或 5 分):如果整篇文章,看的似懂非懂
中心思想是什么都要去猜
由于你每句话都有太多看不懂的chinglish
虽然你有回答到题目上,字数也足够多
但命题要你聊的
你没聊到
像是这种命题:
【2014年10月11日类雅思大作文考题】
Nowadays more and more people are using mobile phones and computers to communicate. As a result, people are losing the ability to communicate with each other on a face-to-face basis.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
明明要你聊 using mobile phone 和 computers to communicate 和失去沟通能力的关联性
结果你整篇都在聊 using mobile phone and computer to communicate 的坏处
没有聊到命题的重心的话
我们会整篇文章先定位在一个5 或 5.5 (TR5 CC 6 LR 6 GRA 5 = 5.5)
给你一个 5.5 分的 sample
命题:Older people who need employment have to compete with younger people. What problems has this caused? How can these problems be solved?
5.5 分段:
Frist of all, the younger people may put the older ones in a disadvantage in such competition as the latter don’t have the advanced skills for the current situation, the older need to acquire new skills essential for their job and living, and that maybe a huge challenge for them due to their learning ability, for example, you can’t expect a senior to handle CS or Python as fast as the young men, and if the younger people have their own generation’s advantages in the competition, the older generation will be shut out of the jobs market. As for the Younger side, they may face more employment pressure, younger people try their best to seek a job after graduation, but with intense peer pressure and the competition from the older ones, there will be fewer employment opportunities for them.
文章没重心,每句都有chinglish,functional grammar 和 structural grammar 都没到位,看懂都要靠猜
如果语言更糟糕的情况下会 4.5
字数太少的情况下,根本没回答道命题会到 4 或甚至 3 到 3.5
3.5 分以下的情况真的很少发生
除非文章真的太短导致我们不够 sample 去批判
6分以上的状况:相反来说,如果整篇文章我们能看的很清楚你的中心思想
每句话也看的懂
chinglish 在有但相较之下并不是每一句都有
每个论点论述的还算有道理的情况下
我们会整篇文章先定位在一个6.5 (TR 7 CC 7 LR 6 GRA 6)
6.5 分 sample
命题:Some people think that people who choose a job early and keep doing it are more likely to get a satisfying career life than those who frequently change jobs.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
6.5 回应看起来像是这样的:
First of all, people in constant working environment are more likely to enjoy the tasks they do,which brings them more satisfactions on the job compared with those who work in changing one. Since they started early and gained sufficient work experience in their relatively long career, they have already mastered the essential skills and developed their own principles to tackle the different challenges and obstacles in jobs.This process of solving various problems have turned the job into an engaging game or competition which allow them to enter the psychological state of flow. All this brings people a great sense of achievement and satisfactions. In contrast, hardly could those who frequently change their jobs have this kind of experience because they have to spend a lot of energy to adapt to new responsibilities in their positions, new procedure in working environment and new interpersonal relationship. In short, constantly adapting to new environment is difficult for them, not to mention gaining sufficient satisfactions. (TR 6 or 7 CC 6 LR 7 GRA 7) - 有 slippery slope 嫌疑(有两串逻辑,一个都还没解释清楚就到下一个,文章布局松散由于上下位词没有对好)
那假设同样的论述方式
chinglish 几乎不存在了
虽然会写出一些不符合native speaker 阅读习惯的语句
但是整篇文章论述还算有道理
我们会整篇文章先定位在一个7 (TR 7 CC 7 LR 7 GRA 7)
注:TR 6 CC 7 LR 7 GRA 7 不是 7,是 6.5,任何一项有一个 6 整个写作分会被往下拉
给你们一个 7 分的 sample:
命题:Some people think that using computers and mobile phones for communication has had a negative impact on young people's reading and writing skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
7 分的文章是这样的:
On the one hand, reliance on computers and mobile phones can lead to poor spelling ability and low grammatical awareness in young people. Due to numerous robust softwares and applications on the internet, such as the grammar checker application Grammarly and the auto-correction function in Microsoft Word, people do not need to care much about their grammar and their spelling when they write a word or a sentence on these devices. Also, in order to get the messages through faster, people tend to use more abbreviations or acronyms for instant communication. As long as information is conveyed clearly, sentences can be shortened to word chunks, words can be shortened to strings of letters. These will pose problems for young people's writing skills in the long run.
整篇文章,没有装13的词
逻辑清晰,只找到了 3 个 phrasing 不对(不太算是纯chinglish)的小错误
holistic grading 才是我们考官打分的方式
而不是一般中国英语老师在高考英语作文上
看到错误就扣分式的打分方式
你作为考生想得到高分的话
最要注意的是 native speaker 的阅读习惯
你的 speech pattern 要改!
native speaker 和 考官们其实最看重的是:我读不读的懂?
跟要探讨的命题重心到底吻不吻合?
一篇作文最终有没有回答道问题
有没有论述成功(整篇文章的走向是否正确)
取决于整篇文章之中的布局和句子之中的逻辑连不连贯
决定了你的 Coherence 和 cohesion(CC) 的分数
但整篇 CC 又取决于你句子中的语法正确度
词汇用法正确度
还有上一句和下一句的主次关系
这些举体会在 Lexical Resource 和 Grammatical Range and Accuracy 中呈现
其实我们的四个 criteria - TR / CC / LR / GRA 并不是分开打分的
而是更多像这样:
TR ( CC [ LR / GRA ] )
记住,雅思写作并不是飙大词,炫语法,唯有把事情阐述出、说清楚的人才能得高分
语言是服务于思维的,而思维是你最基本的底层操作逻辑
