雅思考官親上陣告訴你寫(xiě)作看重哪幾項(xiàng)
給大家畫(huà)個(gè)重點(diǎn)
Answer all parts of the question
這一點(diǎn)很多老師在我們的公開(kāi)課中都有強(qiáng)調(diào)，可惜很多寶寶們還是花費(fèi)大量的精力在詞匯句式的堆砌上。忽略這一點(diǎn)的重要性。Task Response是四項(xiàng)評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中最容易提高的一項(xiàng)，考官明確說(shuō)明，如果你的文章沒(méi)有回答全部問(wèn)題，你的TR這一項(xiàng)的分?jǐn)?shù)不會(huì)高于5。
Timing and Blocking
怎樣在20分鐘與40分鐘中完成一篇結(jié)構(gòu)充實(shí)的小大作文?考官教我們做做數(shù)學(xué)題(歪果仁教中國(guó)學(xué)生數(shù)學(xué)……)
具體算法大家看視頻和文稿吧，總之你可以計(jì)算一下你要分幾段，每一段幾句話(huà)，每句話(huà)大致多少單詞，從而完成兩篇150字以及250字的文章。
A topic sentence for each paragraph
Make sure that each paragraph has a topic sentence!!!這一點(diǎn)相信所有的寫(xiě)作老師都強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)，但是我們?cè)谂淖魑牡臅r(shí)候還是發(fā)現(xiàn)很多寶寶忽視了這一點(diǎn)的重要性。這個(gè)中心句要直接明了，不要太模糊，讓考官讀完就是到你這段要講什么。一個(gè)中心句加三個(gè)展開(kāi)論述句，這是考官給的結(jié)構(gòu)建議。
Use synonymous and paraphrase
高頻詞的同義詞替換是寫(xiě)作詞匯部分提分的重要技巧。不要重復(fù)用相同的詞，同義詞的使用會(huì)向考官展現(xiàn)你詞匯運(yùn)用的range。
這里考官?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)注意一下替換詞的“性質(zhì)”。想表達(dá)positive的詞義就用positive的詞去替換，反之用negative。學(xué)姐給大家舉個(gè)例子，表示“影響”的詞，effect多用作積極意思，而impair多用作消極層面的影響。替換influence 的時(shí)候要選對(duì)性質(zhì)。
如果你的詞匯量沒(méi)有那么大，那就學(xué)會(huì)掌握paraphrase的技巧，用一句話(huà)去解釋你想說(shuō)的詞，順便還能用個(gè)從句或者分詞結(jié)構(gòu)增加一下句子多樣性。
最后考官?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)，想在寫(xiě)作中拿高分，你一定要知道考官的expectation是什么。即使是一個(gè)native speaker, 如果他對(duì)雅思考試完全不了解，他也不一定能拿到很好的分?jǐn)?shù)。因此掌握雅思考試的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)至關(guān)重要。

IELTS writing advice
One of the main problems is that the students don’t address entire questions, and you can’t get over 5, if you don’t address all the questions for task response.
On the day, when you get your question, read it thoroughly, examined it, dissect it, what it is asking you to do, and probably ask you to do the minimum 2 things, maximum 4 things, make sure you cover all the elements of the question.
Timing is essential, you are only given 40 minutes roughly for writing task2, writing task1 is 20 minutes. Plan your work, take the time, take at least 2 to 3 minutes to plan your work before you actually start writing. Also you can do the math. Writing the task1 and you are asked to write 150 words, if you break 150 words down into 4 paragraphs, that’s 35 words per paragraph.
Generally sum, if there are 10 words per sentence. So if you are writing a 3-sentence-paragraph that’s 30 words, if you need to write 50 words in one paragraph that’s 5 sentences. So you can block it, my first paragraph is going to be 3 or 4 sentences, my last paragraph is going to be 2 to 3 sentences, so you can block it out see it first before you write it.
Make sure that each paragraph has a topic sentence, it jumps out as the reader when they read your piece of writing, if you have a strong topic sentence, it jumps out, it sends a message that you know what actually it is what you are writing about, and also that helps you focus on that paragraph. One topic sentence, one paragraph, 3 supporting sentences, based on that topic sentences.
Referring from repeating the same word over and over again, there are many synonyms for the same word, use them
The use of increase once, use go up and then use rise or decrease, go down, fall, try not to repeat vocabulary.
The words for business or businesses, ok, then you can talk about companies, cooperations, ask yourself is the word I want to substitute to, it is positive or positive words, if it is the positive words, you replace with the positive words, for the negative words replace with the negative words.
You don’t necessarily have to have a broad range of vocabulary just to score high on the writing test, as long as you have the ability to paraphrase, so even you don’t know the specific word, you can describe that meaning of that word.
When you sit down and if you don’t take it seriously on the day, even if you are a native speaker, you probably won’t do as well as you thought you would, so you have to go with the mind said..that this is the exam and I have to meet their criterial of that exam, know what the expectation is and meet that expectation as best as you can, and it is not out of reach for anybody really but have the babble that what the expectation is. Read the question(笑)exactly.
