2017.10.5 雅思考试写作回顾
郝梦婕
小作文:
柱状图,不同地区城市与农村人口分布。
大作文:
It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about culture and people, because people can learn from books, films or the Internet, to what extent do you agree?
解析:
小作文考到了预测强调的柱状图,需要找出主要特征并且有比较地描述信息。段落可以采取先总后分的形式,用我们课上讲过的方法,根据相同特征进行信息分组。最后总结最明显的特征。
大作文是2014年10月考过的老题,属于旅游类话题,预测的时候也让大家关注过。题目观点是了解一个地方的文化没有必要通过旅游,只需要通过书籍电影和网络来了解。所以思考论点的时候可以从这三种媒介入手,和旅游进行比较。很明显,书籍电影网络由于客观性不足并不能使大家完整地了解到当地文化,甚至会产生文化误解,所以建议立场站disagree: In my opinion, a comprehensive understanding of the local culture can only be learned through travel in person.
文章主体段可以用让步+主观点的方式展开,先肯定三种方式跟旅游相比的优势,比如通过网络可以查到大量的信息,很多电影书籍介绍了其他地方的风俗文化,或者有一些新的VR技术能够使我们在网络上身临其境,这些都可以大大地节省亲自出游的时间和精力。
但是这些途径了解的信息通常是不全面的甚至是错误的,而且旅游可以参与当地的活动,更加有利于文化的交流。因此可以从这些角度出发进行反驳和论述。
主体段框架如下:
P1书籍电影网络对学习文化的作用(让步)
Admittedly, it is an efficient way to search abundant cultural information by using books,films and the Internet.(中心句)
P2 三种方式的弊端+有必要旅游的原因(主观点)
段落演示:
However, these methods have obvious drawbacks. (中心句)To illustrate, books may fail to provide the latest information. Also, information from films or Internet usually involves opinions from other people, so it may lack objectiveness or accuracy. The wrong conveyed messages may lead to more serious consequences such as discrimination. Due to these reasons, it is still necessary to travel to other places to have a better understanding of their culture and customs. During travel, we can actively communicate with local people, taste local food and engage in local activities. Through such interactions, not only can we get more authentic information, we can also boost more effective cultural communication.
最后总结段再重复下自己的观点
To conclude, although some mass media, such as books, films or the Internet, play an essential role in cultural exchange, travelling is of greater importance in order to personally experience the distinctive cultures.
