14个雅思写作中的雷区,你起码做过3件
不管是雅思“小白”,还是久经考场的老考鸭,大部分人都觉得写作是雅思考试中最难的部分。
因为除了要学习小作文这种特殊作文的写法,还要积累大作文不同题型结构、相关话题词组、句型和素材。
除此之外,还有许多书面写作中要避免的问题,很多人都容易踩坑~
下面就给大家介绍14个雅思写作中的Donts(要避免的事情),如果你曾经练过写作,你会发现以下这些问题,你起码中过3个!
避免陈词滥调
根据《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》,“cliché”的意思是“a phrase or an idea that has been used so often that it no longer has much meaning and is not interesting”,即,“陈词滥调;陈腐的套话”。
很多时候,这样的“套句”对文章是没有实际意义。
雅思写作中常见的“cliche”包括:
As we all know that…
Every coin has two sides.
It cannot be denied that…
This is a highly controversial issue about…
First and foremost,…
Without doubt…
There is a heated debate about…
There are pros and cons…
避免缩略词
英语的正式文体规定不能使用缩略词,一定要将其完整形态写出来,比如:
shouldn’t→should not
can’t→cannot[中间没有空格]
don’t→do not
haven’t→have not
’ll→will
避免性别词汇
这点很容易被大家忽略,以下是一些常见的错误表达及对应的正确表达方法:
When a person listens to soft music,he or she will feel relaxed.
When people listen to soft music,they will feel relaxed.
If men do not start to protect the environment,their lives will be detrimentally impacted.
If people do not start to protect the environment,their lives will be detrimentally impacted.
注意:小作文中男女对比的情况下可以使用man/men或woman/women。
避免绝对化
雅思写作中的绝对词包括:
every
never
must
perfect
best
worst
most
以上这些词语尽量不要在写作中使用。
避免使用“YOU”
雅思写作中,可以使用人称代词,如:
“I”,“my”,“me”,“mine”,“they”,“them”,“it”,“its”,“their”,“theirs”;
最好不使用“we”,“us”,“our”,“ours”;
不能使用“you”,“your”,“yours”。
避免强化词
强化词会使你的观点显得太绝对,不具有信服力。
话不多说,直接来看例句↓↓
The new neck brace prototype was very promising because of its superb comfort and lean production cost.
The new neck brace prototype was promising because of its comfort and lean production cost.
避免口语和俚语表达
以下这些口语化表达,不适合于写作这种书面正式文体,所以要避免:
Last but not the least…
In a nutshell…
At the end of the day…
cost an arm and a leg..
kids
reckon
a bit
a lot of/lots of/a couple of
till
避免使用连词断句
像and,but,or或者so这种简单的连词,放句子开头显得较口语化,不太正式。
来看看2个例句:
Some people believe that living in big cities is harmful to people’s health.But in my opinion,it is not true.
Some people believe that living in big cities is harmful to people’s health.In my opinion,however,it is not true.
Learning history is beneficial to high school students.So,I think that history should be a compulsory subject in high school.
Learninghistory is beneficial to high school students.Therefore,I thinkthat history should be a compulsory subject in high school.
避免数字单词混用
在雅思小作文中,十以下的数字(非图中数据)需要写单词,如:
The bar chart illustrates changes in the percentage of university students in 3 countries in Europe.
The bar chart illustrates changes in the percentage of students in three countries in Europe.
避免粘连句
在雅思写作举例时,很多人都习惯在句子结尾加上“...等等”,以代表丰富性,但其实这种表达是多余的。
Public transport includes vehicles for public use on the roads,airways,waterways,etc.
Public transport includes vehicles for public use,such buses,trains and aeroplanes.
Nurses must take into consideration patients’dietary needs resulting from allergies,medication,medical conditions and so on.
Nurses must take into consideration patients’dietary needs resulting from allergies,medication and medical conditions.
避免问句
疑问句只能在写作题目中出现,但在你的正式写作中就别出现了。
比如下述这种表达就是不恰当的:
Some people believe that males should share housework with females.Is it true?
避免引用/谚语/数据
虽然引用和数据能够更有力证明你的观点,但一不小心可能写错,而且雅思考官也可能不了解相关数据,所以不如直接不写。
According to President Obama,…
Based on a research project,most males…
避免模糊性表达
一些模糊性表达包括:
things
stuff
that kind of thing
something
这些表达不仅口语化,而且指代不明确,所以也不适合在写作中使用。
避免祈使句
一些考生在流程图(flow chart)中使用祈使句,这在雅思写作中式需要避免的,毕竟Task 1也属于学术写作的范畴。
考生可以将祈使句改写为含有被动语态的句子。如:
Then,add salt and water into the pot.
Then saltand water are added into the pot.
以上的14个Donts建议大家收藏一下,在平时练习时,写完作文可以拿出来对照一下自己有没有犯以上提到的那些问题。
