2016年雅思議論文寫作高分技巧(二)

在本系列文章上篇中,雅思寫作最常見的兩種提問方式(1) To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2) Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.及它們的應對方法已經得到了深刻的剖析;那麼在本篇論文中,朗閣海外考試研究中心將就雅思大作文剩餘的三種提問方式(3) What is your opinion? (4) What are the benefits and disadvantages? / Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages? (5) What are the reasons, effects or solutions?應該如何回答論證進行仔細的解答。

本系列文章中,筆者仍然以雅思考試最經典的方向標作品——劍橋系列書籍Cambridge IELTS 1-8會考官給出的Sample Answer 和Model Answer為參考範本對各個話題及應對方式進行具體詳盡的講解和分析。

Ø What is your opinion?

此種提問方式屬於雅思寫作幾種提問中最開放、最自由的提問;考生只需就題目中出現的某個話題或是看法發表自己的相關意見,而不用糾結是否完全贊同還是反對。也可以說這種提問是我們常見的To what extent do you agree or disagree的變式提法,只要你的回答是圍繞著題目走,而未偏題的答案都可以接受。以對班級規模大小的題目為例,some people think larger class size is a good choice while others argue that small class teaching is better. 若是提問What is your opinion的話,則可以有以下多種回答:認為大班好;認為小班好;認為大班小班都好;認為班級規模大小要取決於學生的年齡段或是具體的科目;認為大班小班都不好而中班好等。

那麼此類提法是考生在考試過程中需要特別注意的嗎?事實上就我們出現的真題及劍橋書籍來看,並不是十分常見的。就目前市面上的Cambridge IELTS 1-8的考題來看,一共出現過2次此類提問的考題,分別為Cambridge IELTS3 Test3和Cambridge IELTS7 Test4的兩題。當然這也並不能說明它不重要,而恰恰相反的是它十分重要,因為真正掌握了這種提問方式,對於考生更好地瞭解贊同與否的題目有極大的幫助。

Cambridge IELTS3 Test3:In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this? 對於這道有關孩子的paid work的問題,我們可以就考官給出的Model Answer來進行具體的分析並且掌握回答的方式及佈局。通讀全文後,我們不難發現,考官並未像之前看的贊同題那樣直接在開頭段給出明確的答覆,而是認為It is difficult to say who has the right to judge whether children working is wrong or valuable. Opinions will also differ as to learning benefits. 並且在接下去的一個段落中進行了論證,提出了一些“wrong”和“less learning”的證明:It is an unfortunate fact that many employers may prefer to use the services of children simply to save money. 而在主體第二段中提到有些work的valuable:in many countries children work because their families need the additional income, no matter how small. 而在最後一段又提及建議part-time jobs or doing tasks around the family home.

由此我們並不難看出,考官並未直接說明對孩子工作是支援還是不支援,而是圍繞孩子工作的問題,採用了客觀的態度,分情況來論證說明。考生在回答類似提問時自然也可以試用。

Ø What are the benefits and disadvantages?

優缺題在雅思寫作中一般有3種提法:(1) Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages(最常見),如2010.11.27考題:In some countries, small town-centre shops are going out of business because people tend to drive to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limited access to out-of town stores, and it may result in an increase in the use of cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantages? (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages? (3) Is this a positive or negative development,如2010年10月14日考題:In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicant for their age. Is this a positive or negative development? 朗閣海外考試研究中心建議各位考生在回答時一定要仔細審題,絕不可以想當然地隨意套用。

以考官在劍5中給出的參考範文為例,就優缺題進行分析:In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. 題目中明確提出了要求討論優點和缺點,那麼自然文章段落安排應該是4段,優缺點各一段。考官在優點段落中提到:They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life. 而在缺點段第一句話就提到:However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. 更值得注意的是對於此類題目,不僅分析優缺兩方面,考官還在結尾段落中明確給出了自己的看法:My view is that young people should be encouraged to … 考生在完成類似提問時自然也可以學習這種寫法,讓全文更客觀公正。

Ø What are the reasons, effects or solutions?

這種提問方式是一般被稱為分析解決型的文章所有的提問,可以是分析原因,也可以是說明影響,當然也可以提出建議,甚至是同一題目要求回答其中的2-3個問題。所以對於這種提問,考生也只需要做好認真讀題審題,做到“問啥答啥”即可。
