在雅思考试中,雅思写作考试时间一共为60分钟,考试内容分两部分:TASK1和TASK2。TASK1一般要求考生写一篇不少于150个词的短文描述所给的一个图(流程图、剖面图、曲线图等)或表,或根据一篇短文的内容写一份报告。TASK2一般要求考生就某问题提出解决的方法,比如为某一观点辩护,比较或对比一些根据和意见,评价或反驳一些论点等。那么,在雅思写作中,如何突出自己的写作重点呢?

1. 把重点摆在句首或者是摆在句尾

一般而论,最显眼的位置其实是在“句尾,其次的话就是在句子的句首了,中间的位置可以说是最平淡,乏善可陈的。其实把重点放在句尾是一种非常“吊胃口”的方法,读者或者是听者非得读完或着是听完整句不可。

2. 在复杂句里面可以把主句放在从句之后

当然这点是除了名词从句和形容词从句之外,因为它们的位置都是比较固定的,副词从句中往往有几种的位置灵活,他们是可以在主句之前出现的,当然也可以是跟在主句的之后。通常我们就可以把这样的副词从句提前,把那些重点则放在后头的主句,

3. 把较重要或有分量的词语放在后头,如(5b)和(6b):

(5a) I was delighted and amused by the classical opera.

(5b) I was amused and delighted by the classical opera.

(6a) That singer's life was tragic and brief.

(6b) That singer's life was brief and tragic.

4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。

例如:

(7) Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed.

(8) Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education?

5. 必要时,重复重要的语词或概念。

例如:

(9) Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity, and he likes their silence.

(10) ...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays.

6. 尽量用主动说态,因此(11b)比(11a)好:

(11a) A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone.

(11b) A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head.

7. 适当时候,可用倒装句和平行句,如:

(12) Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest lived seven dwarfs.

(13) Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred.

(14) Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent.

一般来讲,考官在阅卷的过程中,不太可能对每一句话都认真的读,比如我们在做雅思阅读的时候,没有足够的时间去读文章,一般都会更加留意开头和结尾以及一些比较长的句子,从而把握文章重点,找到文章亮点。因此 ,在写作备考过程中,要学会表达和突出自己的重点和精彩点,这样,才会更容易获得高分哦。
