避坑!这14种雅思写作的技巧分享
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。
下面给大家介绍14个雅思写作中一定要避免的写法,想要高分,请一定避免!
1、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 …
2、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
3、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。
4、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。
5、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”。
eg.
❌If governments build railway and subway lines, you will not use your private cars.
✅If governments build railway and subway lines, people will not use their private cars.
6、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。
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.
7、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
8、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 think that history should be a compulsory subject in high school.
9、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.
10、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。
eg.
❌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.
11、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?
12、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 …
13、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。
14、避免祈使句
一些考生在流程图(flow chart)中使用祈使句,这在雅思写作需要避免,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 salt and water are added into the pot.
以上的14个应避免的写法,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。
