段思睿整理,转载敬请注明http://blog.sina.com.cn/dsrjerry
这是我去年10月份参加考试时的题,作文得7.5分,大致按记忆把它默下来了,结构是这样的,里面的语句肯定和当时考试时不一样,尽量按照原场景还原(词汇语法句型结构),。欢迎大家指正!
题目:
Ø News media have become influencial to our lives and that is a negative development,
Ø To what degree do you agree or disagree?
原文:
Ø It’s not difficult to hear people complaining about how much they are over occupied by the flow of information.Yes,advanced media has easily pushed us into a century of news.Some may argue that,with the hit of news media,people are gradually losing themselves since they are drowning in the pool of information.However,positive aspects brought by news media always exceed negative ones.I’ll illustrate my points in the following two aspects:the convenient life,and the updated news.
Ø Just imagine how life was like 50 years ago,when the only sources of news were those limited newspapers and uncertain rumors from one person to another.The transmission of news was so hard that it was almost impossible to finish all important news within a short time.With developed news media,however,things are much different now.Let’s take a glance at a normal person.He brushes his teeth while watching morning news on TV,listens to the radio in his car,and scans news websites on the Internet.Getting in touch with the trend seems to be no hard task to him,and so are we.Life,with the aid of advanced news media,becomes more and more convenient.
Ø We have been so urgent to grab the latest news that in no time can we ignore them.In the past,it might take days or even weeks when something occurred in New York finally reached the newspaper published in Beijing,not mention those transmitted by mouths.Now,the situation is not the same.A quick click on the mouse leads you directly to the news world,and exchange of information becomes more important than never before.Yes,via Internet and cellphones,you can get almost whatever you want to know immediately,and that’s absolutely one great gift that news media brings to us.
Ø Of course,we can’t deny the hard situation of modern people when their lives are over occupied by news media.However,how can we ignore the developing world?With proper regulations and restrictions,people will find themselves firmly tied to news media,and that’s an everlasting trend.
v 不建议大家在作文中用高深词,看上去挺累赘的,而且好多意思我们只理解了其一,没有理解其他的意思,很可能用错,所以还是尽量用简单词,我们的宗旨是——把简单词用高级!!
开头段
Ø It’s not difficult to hear people complaining about how much they are overoccupied by the flow of information.Yes,advanced media has easily pushed us into a century of news.
中规中矩的开头,谈背景
media是复数,全文用得有点不妥
Ø Some may argue that,with the hit of news media,people are gradually losing themselves since they are drowning in the pool of information.
表达反方看法
Ø Drown表淹没可做及物动词和不及物动词,即双向动词,但是此处用作及物动词表被动更加合适,they are drowned
Ø However,positive aspects brought by news media always exceed negative ones.I’ll illustrate my points in the following two aspects:the convenient life,and the updated news.
表明自己的立场,但这样表述有点松散,改为
However,the positive aspects brought by new media,in my opinion,always exceed the negative ones in terms of two points:the convenient life and the updated news.
主体一段
Ø Just imagine how life was like 50 years ago,when the only sources of news were those limited newspapers and uncertain rumors from one person to another.The transmission of news was so hard that it was almost impossible to finish all important news within a short time.
Convinient life的过去状态
How life was like应当用What life was like,此处like为介词,接疑问代词what,而非疑问副词how
Ø With developed news media,however,things are much different now.
表转折的逻辑句,however,nonetheless等
Ø Let’s take a glance at a normal person.He brushes his teeth while watching morning news on TV,listens to the radio in his car,and scans news websites on the Internet.Getting in touch with the trend seems to be no hard task to him,and so are we.Life,with the aid of advanced news media,becomes more and more convenient.
写得很具体,形象,使人耳目一新,比单纯的说理丰富
Let’s take a glance at a normal person.正常人,对应的不正常人,应当是Let’s take a brief glance at a person in a typical day.一个人普通的一天
Ø 三个活动如果突出是三个地点(家,上班路上,办公室)就更清晰了,He watches morning TV news while brushing his teeth,then listens to the music radio in his car on the way to work,and finally gets the e-mails in his office.把看电视,听广播和收邮件做句子主干,清晰明了
Ø So are we用错了,此处so表示补语和前句一样,所以省略,替换为the situation also applies to all of us,或者He is so easy to get in touch with the trend,and so are we.
主体二段
Ø We have been so urgent to grab the latest news that in no time can we ignore them.
in no time can we ignore them此处用了否定副词置于句首倒装,很好,但是意思不对,in no time很快,改为hardly,我们不可能忽视他们
Ø In the past,it might take days or even weeks when something occurred in New York finally reached the newspaper published in Beijing,not mention those transmitted by mouths.
过去情况说明,
Something occurred,occurred做定语应为occurring,主被动不对
By mouths改为by mouth,此处mouth不用复数,这是by的特点
Ø Now,the situation is not the same.
转折逻辑句
Ø A quick click on the mouse leads you directly to the news world,and exchange of information becomes more important than never before.Yes,via Internet and cellphones,you can get almost whatever you want to know immediately,and that’s absolutely one great gift that news media brings to us.
A quick click on the mouse也可写为a quick mouse-click,很常用,特别提醒mouse鼠标的复数为mouses
Ø than never before此处为then ever before,基本上相当于固定搭配,never为否定副词,ever表示时间的强调副词
Ø Via Internet and cellphones,you can get almost whatever you want to know immediately,and that’s absolutely one great gift that news media brings to us.
Via为介词,via的介词短语不位于句首
结尾段
Ø Of course we can’t deny the hard situation of modern people when their lives are overoccupied by news media.However,how can we ignore the developing world?
这句是败笔,几乎是完全重复,应当对主体段归纳一下
Ø Though depression and confusion sometimes occurs because of the bombardment of information,we certainly owe our easy lives and abundant messages to the news advancement.
(However的转折副词换成though的转折连词;overoccupied换成名词bombardment;)
Ø With proper regulations and restrictions,people will find themselves firmly tied to news media,and that’s an everlasting trend.
这个叫展望,但是有法规就应为积极的成果,可以为firmly and positively可能好点
现在回答楼主跑题的问题,文章没有跑题,只是由于the convenient life,and the updated news这种分类不好,分类应该基于同一标准分类,如life and work,economic and political,support and oppose这样才思维清晰,而life和news不是基于一个标准的分类,所以肯定有重叠overlap,这样逻辑上容易使人迷惑
关于文章的发展
v 开头段:阐明背景+引出疑问+摆明立场;
v 文章都做到了主体段:主旨句+支持句,总分结构,楼主主旨句不太清晰,但是支持句按照过去和现在对比,简单清晰,具体生动,很好
v 结尾段:归纳+展望;归纳应当是对主体段的回顾和强调,作者却只是简单重复,实属败笔;作者谈论展望,有这个意识,不错
结合文章,就逻辑化;具体化;多样化三个方面谈谈如何写好雅思作文
1;
Ø 逻辑化分为思维逻辑和语言逻辑,思维逻辑指作者的思路,作者将观点分为Life和news两方面考虑,不是基于同一标准的分类,不太妥当,作者主体段采用过去和现在对比的手段发展主体段,很好,强调一下思维逻辑跟语言无关,中英文都一样的;
Ø 语言逻辑指英语中的逻辑手段,如however,although表转折;so are we省略,也是一种逻辑(不幸作者用错了);that is a great gift和that is an everlasting trend中that指代前面的词或句子,也是一种逻辑手段
2;
Ø 具体化;这是作者最成功的地方,也是区别于绝大部分同学的地方,讲道理;摆事实;要通过具体的示例来说明支持你的观点,才有话说,才形象生动,你看描写一个人普通的一天,看电视,听收音机,看新闻,值得大家学习;
Ø 再给大家看剑6 TEST2的考官满分范文中的一句Many people find their reward unfair,especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists,or even leading politicians who have responsibility of governing the country.作者意思其实就是when comparing these salaries with those of other professionals.作者不但细化,surgeons or scientists,politicians,而且使用了修饰词super salaries;top surgeons or research scientists,politician还用了leading做前修饰,who定语从句后修饰,具体生动。
Ø 打个不太恰当的比方,这种形象化,具体化的说理方式就像是一个20岁小姑娘的皮肤,而同学们干巴巴的说理只能算80岁老太太的皮肤
3.
Ø 多样化;包括词汇多样化,句型多样化,语法多样化三个方面。
Ø 词汇没有高级,低级的区别,考官不会看到某个词就喊:好,8分词汇,然后兴致勃勃的给你个8分或8.5分,词汇是考虑多样性和准确性,这是考试说明里面明确规定的,如新闻,作者用了news,media,information;
Ø 句型方面,作者用了祈使句just imagine;let’s take a glance,倒装句in no time can we ignore them,比较句and exchange of information becomes more important than never before,疑问句表强调How can we ignore the developing world,但遗憾的是,作者这方面基本功有点欠缺,否则,8分有戏;
Ø 语法方面,however表转折用得有点频繁了,nevertheless[adv];although[conj]都可以用
