1.写作考试应该先写Task 1还是Task 2?
如果确实感觉对手里的Task 2(大作文)考题自己准备较为充分,有信心在40分钟左右完成,那么就应该先坚定地完成大作文。
大作文占写作总分的2/3,如果有把握先把占分多的部分拿到手。
如果在迅速浏览两道题之后,感觉对手中的Task 2考题自己准备的并不充分、或者一时想不出足够的素材,先果断完成Task1
牢记:写作的60分钟里没有任何一分钟可以去浪费
2.作文里句子越长越难就越容易得高分吗?
请看《剑10》162页满分范文里这段话:
"The question depends on the age of the child. To punish a very young child is wrong and foolish, as an infant will not understand what is happening or why or she is being punished. Once the age of the reason is reached however, a child can be rewarded for good behavior …"
再请看《剑9》第163页考官满分范文里面这段话:
"There are, however, some disadvantages. Primary school teachers are generalists, and may not have the necessary language skills themselves."
IELTS 作文好句子的标准并不是让考官看的"头上长角", 而是准确、清晰。好作文不需要“无敌长难句”哦
3.写作考试是否需要打草稿?
考场里根本没有时间打草稿。
看完考题后,可以在印有考题的试题纸上面(切记:不是带横线的答题纸,答题纸Answer Sheet是必须保证干净整洁的)把看到考题后头脑闪出的Ideas和自己考前准备过的相关词汇和短语快速记一下。
4.雅思考前时间限制注意事项有哪些?
当考官要求停笔时,即使还没写完也一定停下来,否则将判违纪行为。
考前尽可能模拟实战,没有限制的考前练习是没有实战意义的。
网上下载雅思写作答题纸,坚持使用铅笔练习,每行写10-12个单词,并严格控制时间。
5.英语学术写作有哪些特殊要求
改错1 Some people argue that citizens shouldn't be responsible for their own medical costs.
分析:英文学术写作里不接受缩写形式,shouldn't必须改成should not, don't应该写成do not;相应的I'm要写成I am 而can't 应该写成cannot
改错2 Scientists have presented lots of evidence for climate change.
分析:使用了非正式口语表达lots of,学术写作里修饰可数名词可以用many或者a large number of修饰不可数名词时则可以改用a large amount of
改错3 Make sure that globalization does not threaten our own traditions!
分析:祈使句是不能用在学术写作里的,句尾的!改为句号。请注意不要把你的雅思作文写成“咆哮体”
改错4 We should be friendly to others because the Bible said, "Treat your neighborhood as you would like to be treated."
分析:在英美大学里,宗教信仰不可以作为academic essays 的论据,英语谚语在英国国家大学里并不允许被当作学术写作的论证依据
