写作应该是一件美好的事情,也是一件快乐的事情。它的美好和快乐来自一种经典的美,那就是朴素。然而,雅思培训的逐渐商业化和考生日益的功利心态,以及双方的相互作用,使得各种雅思写作辅导书上充斥着扭曲这种美感的材料。许多基础薄弱并缺乏判断力的考生因此陷入窘境。
本文的文本分析的材料来自2009年登陆中国大陆的剑桥雅思7册中考官所给的范文;
本文的分析标准来自雅思官方网站上的评分标准;
本文的目的在于重新回归雅思写作TASK 2部分的评分标准;
本文试图通过严肃性的学术分析,将考试的标准和考官的表现对应起来,按图索骥,找到可以借鉴的正确写作方法。
希望给正在备战雅思写作的考生一点复习的方向。
我们先来看剑七上第一篇雅思考题和考官的文章:
TEST 1 WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task
Write about the following topic:
It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
You should write at least 250 words.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
MODEL ANSWER
The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, sport, art or music.
Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music. So from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.liuxuepaper.com
