雅思托??荚噷τ谙胍鰢魧W(xué)或移民的人來說,是一個非常重要的考試。因此,了解考試的時間表和出分時間對于準(zhǔn)備考試的考生來說非常關(guān)鍵。下面中國教育在線外語頻道小編就為大家分享一下“雅思寫作考試如何精簡語句”?
詞匯精簡技巧
雅思寫作精簡建議一:避免空洞的單詞和詞組
1.一些空洞的單詞或詞組根本不能為句子帶來任何相關(guān)或重要的信息,完全可以刪掉。
比如:When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
這句話當(dāng)中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都顯得多余。完全可以去掉。改為:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2.有些空洞和繁瑣的表達(dá)方式可以進(jìn)行替換。
例如:Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一個很典型的繁瑣的表達(dá)方式的例子,可以替換,簡化為下面的表達(dá)方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
雅思寫作精簡建議二:避免重復(fù)
1.盡量避免重復(fù)使用同樣的詞匯?;蛘哂械臅r候雖然詞匯沒有重復(fù),但意思卻有重復(fù)。這時候可以做一些簡化的工作。
例如下面這個例子:The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large對一個farm來說就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改為:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更簡潔的表達(dá)方式為:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2.有時一個詞組可以用一個更簡單的單詞來替換。
例如:My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm.
這里的over and over again就可以改為repeatedly,顯得更為簡潔:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm.
雅思寫作精簡建議三:選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z法結(jié)構(gòu)
選擇合適的語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以使句子意思的表達(dá)更為精確和簡練。雖然語法的多樣性也很重要,但選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z法結(jié)構(gòu)仍然是更為重要的考慮因素。以下原則是在考慮選擇何種語法結(jié)構(gòu)時可以參考的原則:
1.一個句子的主語和謂語動詞應(yīng)該能夠反映句子中最重要的意思。
例如:The situation that resulted in my grandfather's not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
從意思上來分析,上面這句話需要表達(dá)的重要的概念是“grandfather's not being able to study”,而在表達(dá)這個概念時,原句用的主語是situation,謂語動詞是was,不能強(qiáng)調(diào)需要表達(dá)的重點(diǎn)概念,可以改為下面這句話:
My grandfather couldn't study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2.避免頻繁使用“there be”結(jié)構(gòu)。
例如下面的句子:There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改為:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更簡潔的句式為:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3.把從句改為短語或單詞。
例如:Dairy cows were raised on the farm,which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an areathat was remote.
簡介的表達(dá)方式為:
The dairy farm was located in a remotearea, 100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4.僅在需要強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語而不是主語的時候,才使用被動語態(tài)。
例如:In the fall, not only did the cows haveto be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather'sfamily.
本句不夠簡潔的原因是本句的重心應(yīng)該是“忙碌的家庭-mygrandfather's family”,而使用了被動語態(tài)後,彷佛重心變成了cows和hay。下面的表達(dá)方式是主動語態(tài),相對來說更簡潔一些:
In the fall, my grandfather's family notonly milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
5.用更為精確的一個動詞來代替動詞短語。
例如:My grandfather didn't have time tostand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其實(shí)可以用一個動詞來表達(dá),即loiter:
My grandfather didn't have time toloiter with his school friends.
6.有時兩句話的信息經(jīng)過組合完全可以用一句話來簡練地表達(dá)。
例如:Profits from the farm were not times they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They werenot sufficient to pay for a university degree.
兩句話的信息可以合并為下面這句更為簡潔的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes toosmall to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree.
小作文寫作技巧
1. 雅思小作文寫作結(jié)構(gòu)搭建:
(1) 第一段的introduction:直接改寫題目——句型主動改被動或是反之,單詞可做稍微替換,雖然說改寫比較簡單,但是這一步驟缺一不可。一定要改寫題目,一定不能照抄。
(2) 第二段的overview:圖表中,你最先看到的,最最明顯的特征,你這里可以做以下稍微的總結(jié),因?yàn)榕履愫竺鏇]時間進(jìn)行總結(jié),小作文的時間最多只有20分鐘,要放在大作文后面寫,很多時候大作文會占據(jù)大于40分鐘的時間,那么你的小作文時間就會來不及,那么在這里你對于最最明顯的特征進(jìn)行總結(jié),就算到后面沒時間,也不會因?yàn)闆]有對圖表特征進(jìn)行總結(jié)而扣分。
(3) 第三段的details:圖表所提供的信息就是需要你進(jìn)行對比的。對比分兩種:縱向和橫向??v向是跟自己比,比之前自己增長了,還是下降了;橫向比是跟別人比,跟比人比我是第一還是最后。圖表中的數(shù)據(jù)信息,你無需所有的數(shù)據(jù)都寫在你的文中里,只需要特征明顯的,比如位于首位,位于最后這種,還有就是一定要進(jìn)行對比。
(4) 如果你前面的overview段有總結(jié)了,就無需再來個結(jié)尾段了,不過要是有時間,你也可以進(jìn)行一句話的結(jié)尾。
2. 雅思小作文素材積累
這邊給大家展示我自己所積累的小作文用到的素材。大家每天都拿出來看一遍,寫小作文的時候盡量用上去。

3. 雅思小作文寫作訓(xùn)練
小作文就最適合這種模式性的訓(xùn)練啦。有了上面的框架,還有就是積累各種說明文的上升下降,巨變啥的表達(dá)。去找那些老師們整理好的資源唄,不用自己準(zhǔn)備了,你要做的就是直接拿來用。這是站在巨人肩膀上,哈哈。
我用的是9分達(dá)人的那個母題訓(xùn)練,在清楚寫作骨骼的前提下,再來補(bǔ)充血肉和靈魂,哈哈。然后積累范文里面的好句子。有了骨架,寫作材料就是血和肉,你的主題思想就是寫作思路就是你整篇文章的靈魂,三者缺一不可。
一定要練習(xí)哈!三天就可以來一次訓(xùn)練了,我很慶幸找到了一個一起奮斗的小烤鴨,我們互相監(jiān)督,互相批改,嚴(yán)格的時間內(nèi)完成,然后兩個人進(jìn)行討論修改,再寫,再改,就是這么一路走過來的。也不要套模板吧,就是明白了寫作模式,有了框架,再加上題目的寫作思路,有了靈魂,再加上你的詞句,有了血肉,其實(shí)就是你自己的模板。這個時候你的小伙伴是很重要的,大家一起高歌歡唱,才會讓自己走得更遠(yuǎn)。
