写作貌似是公认的最难的部分。开始没有太注意,顿时意识到复习作文的紧迫性。
我作文分数是四项里面最低的,没有上8。于是很后悔没有在平时的时候再多练习几篇。
剑桥里面的满分作文,一定要多读多总结,那些文章看起来写得很平淡,其实用语都非常地道干练,从来不拖泥带水。不知道别人怎么样,但是我写起文章来特别罗嗦,图表作文只要求150字我可能能写到300。
考试的时候才发现,其实答题纸上面的空间有限,是没有多余的地方让我啰嗦不清的。我自己也在训练当中总结一些句法和写作方式。
讨论类题型结构
IELTS议论文题目一般由两部分组成:表示情景的陈述句和表示要求的疑问句或者是祈使句。对于题目中的陈述句,一般在文章的开头需要通过改写和扩充加以回应,为主体段落的分析加以铺垫。
第一段 引出话题。不一定需要提出正反方观点或者自身观点;
第二三段 分别讨论两个方面各自的理由;可将自身倾向掺杂进分析;
第四段 提出自己观点;
In Conclusion...

第一段介绍核心信息(e.g.时间地点研究对象);一句话即可。
第二三段先分析第一个时间点,再分析后一个时间点。
