基于多年来对雅思考试命题思路和出题规律的深入研究,以及对09年第一季度雅思考题的分析总结,朗阁海外考试研究中心建议广大考生,在备考第二季度的写作考试时,对以下内容予以关注。 在小作文部分,对于四种常考图形曲线图、柱图、饼图、表格图来说,表格图本身以及和曲线图相结合的组合图的概率最大,在备考的时候,千万不要对大家最熟悉的曲线图掉以轻心,图形越是熟悉,就越体现得出差距,除了对上升、下降、平稳、波动等相关词汇句型进行整理之外,特别要注意在写作条理上,有时候按时间段分割对比描述也是不错的选择,另外在考场上具体写作的时候,小作文中介词、时态和第三人称单数问题一定要留意,因为在小作文写作内容大同小异的前提下,一旦出现这类问题,必然暴露无遗。而对于表格图,则要避免眉毛胡子一把抓,所有数据从头写到尾,学会挑选极值和突变值,同时把握“项目时间,横纵结合;仅有项目,横向即可”的解题策略,表格图还是可以出色完成的。而对于两者的组合,无非就是多了最后数据的关联和总结,前面路铺好了,结尾自然就水到渠成了,在此不再赘述。 对于流程图和图画题这两类考试频率相对较低,但是又肯定会考的图形,第二季度还是会继续半路杀出,其中图画题相对出现可能性更大,且除了第一季度已经出现过的地理变迁图之外,对比示意图和选址题,考生一定要予以关注,特别是后者,近年来一直被“雪藏”,很有“重现江湖”的可能。鉴于流程图和图画题原题重现的可能性微乎其微,故广大考生不必死备范文,将相应的解题招式牢记于心,再配以专属表达这样的独门兵器,就算“中奖”了,也是可以“化险为夷”的。 在大作文部分,教育类话题肯定是一路高歌的,所以按照教学内容、教学手段、教学效果等进行分类素材整理还是很有必要的,对于科技类话题和国际化话题也务必做好准备,在可能会新题辈出的第二季度,这类人类与世界关系的话题必然成为热点,同时在考试题型方面,08年3月1日从多门科目中选出几门讨论重要性这类多选多或者多选一的考题类型很可能还是广大考生所不适应的,所以在备考过程中一定做适应性练习,防止措手不及。 最后为考生推荐大作文10题作备考之用。 1、Many people ignore basic science today.
