雅思寫作:agree or disagree 題型怎么寫?附例題解析
導(dǎo)讀:在近兩年的雅思大作文考試題型中,to what extent do you agree or disagree這種單觀點(diǎn)的題考查的頻率相對(duì)較高。今天我們就來圍觀一下對(duì)于這種題目,應(yīng)該如何在短時(shí)間精準(zhǔn)高效地回應(yīng)。拿到題目首先明確需要回應(yīng)的觀點(diǎn),然后再對(duì)觀點(diǎn)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行分析理解。
在近兩年的雅思大作文考試題型中,to what extent do you agree or disagree這種單觀點(diǎn)的題考查的頻率相對(duì)較高。
今天我們就來圍觀一下對(duì)于這種題目,應(yīng)該如何在短時(shí)間精準(zhǔn)高效地回應(yīng)。
拿到題目首先明確需要回應(yīng)的觀點(diǎn),然后再對(duì)觀點(diǎn)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行分析理解。
總結(jié)過去的雅思大作文考題,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種單觀點(diǎn)的題目?jī)?nèi)容可以從以下角度切入分析:
?
01觀點(diǎn)兩個(gè)層次,一般包含因果關(guān)系
①Some people think extreme sports such as sky diving and skiing are very dangerous and should be banned.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
②Today it is easy to access information online so libraries are no longer necessary.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
?
例題分析
這兩道題目都有一個(gè)明顯的共同特征,就是觀點(diǎn)的前后部分構(gòu)成了因果關(guān)系,因?yàn)闃O限運(yùn)動(dòng)危險(xiǎn)所以需要被禁止,因?yàn)榭梢栽诰W(wǎng)絡(luò)獲取信息所以圖書館不再需要。
對(duì)于這類題目,我們的個(gè)人立場(chǎng)可以有很多種,a完全贊同:可以既肯定原因又肯定結(jié)果;b完全反對(duì):可以既否定原因又否定結(jié)果,c:傾向于反對(duì):可以讓步原因再反對(duì)結(jié)果,
前面兩種立場(chǎng)堅(jiān)決態(tài)度非常明確,但是對(duì)學(xué)生要求非常高,能夠想到的論點(diǎn)會(huì)比較受限,所以大部分學(xué)生都會(huì)采取c立場(chǎng)。
但對(duì)于讓步的原因,我們這里需要注意,有些情況是要求考生必須進(jìn)行駁斥的。
例如第一題:如果讓步了極限運(yùn)動(dòng)的危險(xiǎn),后面又反對(duì)被禁止,這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)會(huì)不夠說服力,既然都那么危險(xiǎn)了不就應(yīng)該被禁止么?
所以學(xué)生在這樣的讓步段之后一定要加一些駁斥的內(nèi)容,比如現(xiàn)在有了嚴(yán)格的安全規(guī)則的約束和科技元素的保護(hù)使得這些危險(xiǎn)系數(shù)已經(jīng)降到很低,這樣后續(xù)反對(duì)禁止就很順理成章。
也就是說對(duì)于A+A-型的讓步需要駁斥,因?yàn)樽尣降膬?nèi)容和個(gè)人立場(chǎng)是完全對(duì)立的,會(huì)影響整個(gè)文章的邏輯鏈。
但第二道題目,讓步網(wǎng)絡(luò)獲取信息的便利之后再反駁圖書no longer necessary,這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)從邏輯上上是說得通的,所以說對(duì)于A+B+型的讓步段可以不用駁斥。
?
02觀點(diǎn)是一個(gè)整體
1.觀點(diǎn)中出現(xiàn)比較級(jí)
①Once children start school,teachers have more influence on their intellectual and social development than parents do.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
②When new towns are planned,it is important to build more public parks or sports facilities than shopping centers for people to spend their free time.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
?
例題分析
不難發(fā)現(xiàn),這兩道題目中都包含了兩個(gè)比較對(duì)象之間的比較,這類題目破題角度也可以很多樣:
a.在兩者中做出一個(gè)明確選擇,捧一踩一:A+,B-;
b.對(duì)于未選擇的一方,可以稍微讓步,讓步完再駁斥A+,B+B-;
c.中立的態(tài)度,比較雙方各自有好處和優(yōu)勢(shì),即A+,B+
?
2.觀點(diǎn)中出現(xiàn)絕對(duì)詞
①Some people think that one of the best ways to solve environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
②Some people think that all young people should be required to have full-time education until they are 18 years old.To what extent do you agree or disagree with it?
③Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled.They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement.To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?
?
例題分析
絕對(duì)詞一般分成三類,即“best”“all”“only”,從整體結(jié)構(gòu)的邏輯角度考慮,我們建議學(xué)生:
對(duì)于Best way類:讓步合理性之后必須駁斥+反對(duì)的理由,反對(duì)的理由可以從以下三個(gè)角度思考:
1)雖然看起來合理,但是實(shí)際上這個(gè)方法不能產(chǎn)生理想的結(jié)果,或A會(huì)導(dǎo)致其他問題或A的不可行性;
2)其他因素如A’才是問題的根本原因(root cause/primary cause)
3)提出其他更好的方法;
對(duì)于All/only類:考生只需要讓步合理性,反駁絕對(duì)性就可以
?
3.題干觀點(diǎn)包含模糊概念
①The restoration of old buildings in major cities in the world costs enormous government expenditures.Some people think this money should be better used in new housing and road development.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
②Some employers are giving increased importance to employing people with good social skills in addition to good qualifications.Do you agree or disagree social skills are as important as good qualifications for success in their jobs?
?
例題分析
這類題目如果想要做到個(gè)人立場(chǎng)和文字內(nèi)容的絕對(duì)統(tǒng)一是比較難的,因?yàn)橛^點(diǎn)里面包含了模糊的不清晰的籠統(tǒng)的概念,如果泛泛而論肯定會(huì)導(dǎo)致文章內(nèi)容不夠。
所以建議學(xué)生分類討論,將題干中抽象的概念具體化。
在A情況下怎么樣,然而在B條件下又是另一種態(tài)度,這樣不僅保證了觀點(diǎn)和內(nèi)容的統(tǒng)一,又能充分向考官展示critical thinking。
拿第一題為例子,這個(gè)old building,就屬于一個(gè)模糊的概念,我們可以分成兩種情況,一是具有歷史文化意義的老建筑,一種就是那種老破舊的房子,這樣一分,兩段主體段內(nèi)容就豐富起來了。
