在雅思听、说、读、写四项中,最令大多数烤鸭头疼的就是写作了。中国大陆地区的学术类雅思考生写作平均分为5.39分。大部分烤鸭可能考了很多次,写作单项不是“万年5.5分”就是“万年6分”其实想要提高写作分数,有一种较为高效的方法——精读真题范文。
做过剑桥雅思真题集的同学应该都知道,在真题集后面都会附上写作范文。但你真的清楚这些范文的正确使用方式吗?
写作范文的区别
如果你仔细观察剑桥雅思真题集后面的写作范文,你就会发现,其实写作范文是分为两个类型:Model Answer(考官范文) 和 Sample Answer(考生范文)。

考官范文
This chart shows the time spent by UK residents on different types of telephone calls between 1995 and 2002.
Local fixed line calls were the highest throughout the period, rising form 72 billion minutes in 1995 to just under 90 billion in 1998. After peaking at 90 billion the following year, these calls had fallen back to the 1995 figure by 2002.
Natural and international fixed line calls grew steadily from 38 billion to 61 billion at the end of the period in question, though the growth slowed over the last two years.
There was a dramatic increase in mobile calls from 2 billion to 46 billion minutes. The rise was particularly noticeable between 1999 and 2002, during which time the use of mobile phones tripled.
To sum up, although local fixed line calls were still the most popular in 2002, the gap between the three categories had narrowed considerably over the second half of the period in question.
写作备考建议
范文精读方法是学会了,但究竟要读几篇除此之外还要做什么呢?这就要按照备考周期来看了!
若是离考试只剩1-2周,那就要注重查漏补缺,重点放在还没有接触过的写作题型,对其范文进行精读,并尽可能每天或隔天进行一套大、小作文练习,保证在一个小时内能将作文写完。
若是离考试还剩1-2个月,则要尽可能覆盖所有作文题型的范文精读,并保持每周写1-2篇小作文+大作文的习惯。
若是备考周期较长(大于2个月),则要进行泛读,泛读素材可以选环境、教育、政府等跟雅思强相关的话题。除了真题范文还有外文报刊杂志、专门的雅思写作书等等,并积累相关写作素材,针对不同话题进行观点的积累。当然也不能忘记保持自己动笔写作的习惯。 |
