Some people say that communication by using computers and phones will have negative effect on young people’s writing and reading skills. Do you agree or disagree?
关于网络手机电脑的话题考得不少,大家可以尝试从一下的思路入手:
Agree:
Writing skills:
1.经常写错字,用错符号; frequent use of improper abbreviations and punctuation
2.打字法有自动更正的功能,人们没有机会独立思考;many application or soft-ware has the function of self-correction, which means people fail to think independently;
3.很多字都不会写;as they get accustomed to typing on the phone, which are quite smart to predict what people want to say, young people even do not have to type themselves since the system will provide several choices for them to choose.
4.手机有语音功能和图片功能,很多沟通都不需要书面表达。 sending voice messages, pictures, or emoji be used to express your idea without formal writing.
论证方法:
解释+例子
Reading skills:
1.虽然有人说电脑和网络使大家有更多信息可以阅读,但你仔细想想,坐在电脑前面的人有几个在看文学作品(literature)大多数时候都在看八卦新闻,看奇闻轶事,看优酷土豆,看。。。。。。选择问题;
2.另外,自从电脑和手机的出现,人们获取的信息是碎片化的而非系统的,人们变得对阅读没有耐心,稍微长一些的文章都不愿意看下去;久而久之,形成了不好的阅读习惯;
以下给大家范文参考:
Some educators have warned that the prevalence of mobile phones and the internet has a negative effect on adolescents’ academic ability. I agree with this view.
Firstly, the wide use of “internet English” is regarded as the culprit of the declining writing skills. One obvious reason is that young adults may make some grammatical mistakes unconsciously because of the frequent use of improper abbreviations and punctuation on mobile devices, and this might pose a threat to their future career where a professional writing ability is required in most companies. Therefore, many linguists have expressed their concerns that the instant messaging and chatting on mobile phones might harm the ability of using formal written English.
Secondly, the poor reading proficiency can be put down to the frequent use of technologies as well.Compared to the older generation, young people today are cluttered with different gadgets, like iPad and iPhone. For instance, with easy access to WIFI, they can surf the internet anywhere and anytime to follow the latest information of their idols. However, most social networks deliver fragment and useless information, which not only steals time away from solitary reading but also undermine the ability to think independently. In my opinion, this phenomenon should be reversed as soon as possible because reading has a profound effect on a nation’s future.
In conclusion, while these electronic devices make the communication much more convenient, I am in the camp that they might affect young people’s academic performance negatively.
雅思写作如何审题?
在雅思写作考试中,审题这一个环节非常重要,如果题目理解错了,或者没有注意到题目里给我们设计的陷阱,就非常容易偏题,结果写作分数很受伤,那么我们应该怎么做好审题这个步骤呢?今天给大家介绍几个步骤:
1)判断好题目的类型;
雅思的写作题目分为以下的几类:观点类Agree / Disagree;论述Both Views/优缺点类Pros & Cons /报告类 Causes & Solutions;/报告类Causes & Trend/Effects(混搭)。 每个类型的写作结构是不同的。
2)判断题目构成;
2 句 (论题+问题类型)
In parts of world, children have more freedom than they used to have. Do you think it a positive or negative trend?
3 句( 背景+论证主题+问题类型)
1.Increasing car usage in many large global cities has caused a number of problems.// Some cities have proposed banning private vehicles from the city centre. //To what extent do you agree with the method.
2)看对主题的限定;
Some people think a country benefits from a large proportion of young going to university(2), others think that sending young people to universities only leads to graduate unemployment. Discuss both views and give you own opinion. (1)
以上题目如果论证围绕着年轻人接受大学教育对个人和家庭的好处,属于偏题;如果论证接受大学教育对于家庭是个沉重的经济负担,也是属于偏题。 在题目的限定内容,论证接受大学教育对国家的好处,以及为什么接受大学教育后会推高失业率才是正确的方向。
下次审题记得要用上以上方法哦!
最强干货!雅思阅读如何选取题目关键词?
在雅思题目的做题过程中,非常重要的一环就是选取题目的关键词,因为题目的答案依据来源于原文,而题目对应原文的哪个位置,就需要题目的关键词来带我们去定位。
那么,我们应该如何选取题目的关键词呢,今天给大家介绍选取关键词的三个标准
1)专有名词:时间/地点/人名/地名/组织名/数字等;
比如in the 1989。
那为什么一定要划专有名词呢?
大家可以设想一下,比如你要在所在的小区里面找一个人,根据什么样的线索可以最快找到这个人呢?那肯定是依据个人的特征,比如高矮胖瘦,头发长短,面部有什么区别于其他人的特征对嘛?!
专有名词就是题目的特征,让我们可以在原文里面快速把题目定位出来,因为专有名词是首字母是大写的同时,一般不会被同义替换掉。
2)普通名词中的具体名词。因为具体名词具有指向性,我们可以做同义替换的预判。
比如以下两组单词:
不可预判 可预判
Description
Geography(south / west/ north / east / near / opposite / equator / latitude / longitude / altitude)
Narration
Distance(1000 km / travel / traverse / close / far from / away )
Depiction
Cold temperature(cold / freezing / frozen / winter / snow / ice以及具体温度度数)
Reference Climate(wet / hot / storm)
Time(while / period / 8 years / quickly / immediately / instantly / suddenly / promptly)
以上两组词对比,应该选右边的一组为关键词,因为它们在原文中的替换可以被预判。
3)个数上,必须划2-3个关键词,必须出现在原文的同个句子里面或者相邻的两个句子中。
我们都知道,在数学的概念上,如果只以一个点来划线,划出来的线可以是无数个方向;但如果是两个点,有且只有一个方向。同样的道理,一个题目里面,必须有两个关键词,才能够确定题目在原文当中的确切的位置。
举个例子,比如一篇文章的第一段到第三段都在讲同一个主题-交通,第一段讲地区内部的交通比如公交车,地铁等;第二段讲长途交通,比如大巴,火车等;第三段讲各个城市的对比。
如果我只通过transportation 这个关键词,那么定位点在三个段落都有可能,但如果在transportation的基础上,加上subway 或者 bus, 通过两个关键词,我们可以顺利定位到第一段。
雅思阅读中同义替换的细微之处,你发现了吗?
在备考雅思阅读的过程中,一项必不可少的技能就是学会找到题干与文章中出现的同义替换关系。而同义替换关系分为很多种,大致包括:
1.近义词之间的同义替换,如 depend on = rely on;
2.上/下义词之间的同义替换,如vehicles 属于car的上义词;
3.词性的同义替换,如动词form 与 名词formation之间的同义替换;
4.句子改写同义替换,如把主动句改为被动句子等。
而今天小英在这里要分享的是比较冷门的,且比较少被人发现的同义替换关系,这些同义替换未必是考点,但能够体现出雅思阅读中同义替换的细致,让人禁不住回味。
01连接词的同义替换
连接词的同义替换在雅思阅读中出现考点的频率并不是最高的,在我们剑桥7Test2 Reading2中曾出现过如下一道填空题:
He feels this would help to change the attitudes of both _____ and _____.
原文出题句如下:
It could go a long way, he says, to shifting consumers as well as farmers towards a more sustainable system of agriculture.
聪明的同学一看到both ... and 的并列连接关系与文中的as well as 表示“也”的连接词,就能够轻松填出“consumers”和“farmers”这两个正确答案。这道作为考点的题简单且清晰,让考生能轻松获分。
我们再看下面一道连接词同义替换作为非考点的题目(出自剑桥7Test3 reading1):
In fact, the farming methods of ants could be said to be more advanced than human agribusiness, since they use ______methods.
原文句子如下:
Their fungus farming and aphid herding crafts are sophisticated when compared to the agricultural skills of humans five thousand years ago but have been totally overtaken by modern human agribusiness.
Or have they? the farming methods of ants are at leastsustainable.
本道题目可以根据methods 前应加前置定语形容词起修饰作用,轻松选出sustainable。
但我们仔细阅读题目中的since 这个表因果关系的连词,在文中并不能找出与之直接产生同义替换关系的词,但是从文中表达的 Or have they? 这一个反问关系中,我们能够读懂文章前部分是在提出问题,后面是在作解释,呈现出来的就是一种因果关系。
而在题目中,仅仅用一个since 就能够替换掉冗长的文段,并使我们对文段的理解更加清晰,不禁让人回味这精致的paraphrase操作。
让我们再来看一题精致操作,题目出自本机构的雅思基础练习册:
Traffic ________ will also increase as the rich and poor alike are able to afford cars.
原文出题句:
Traffic congestion, already a major cause for concern, is yetanother aspect of transport that will get further out of control.
此题我们通过分析所填词词性为名词,且根据increase 与get further 之间的同义关系能够选出 congestion一词。
而我这里要指出的是文中another被句子中的also所替换这一点,其实在题目中即便去掉also也影响不大,翻译方面也能够跟文章出题句对应上,但also这个词一放进去,立马体现出了雅思出题的严谨的态度,不仅对文章内容进行同义替换,同时也不放过对逻辑关系的转述,精致得让人赞叹。
02时态的同义替换
除了以上点出的连接词的同义替换,在时态上的替换,雅思出题中心也同样进行了用心的转述操作。
我们一起来看看下面这道题目(出自本机构雅思基础题):
Tata Nono will significantly ______ that figure.
原文出题句:
64%, 52% and 30% respectively, ... Tata Nono, ... has the potential to dramatically affect those levels.
通过significantly = dramatically 、 figure = levels 这两组明显的同义替换关系,以及对空格词性判断,我们能够选出affect 这一答案。
但是题目为什么会出现will一词呢?仔细阅读下原文,原来will是对has the potential to 这一词组的替换。在大部分学术文章中,很少会有“定论”这一东西,在表达推测以及讲述一个现象的时候,学术文章的语言都是留有余地。has the potential to 表达的是有可能,是未来可能会发生的事情,而will一词,有推测之意,表示将会同时并不表达一定会,正好能够转述这种留有余地的表述。
好的,今天的分享就到此,希望大家在有充足备考时间的前提下,能够好好回味一下文章与题目之间精致细微的同义替换关系,感受下雅思官方学术文章在转述文意所下的深厚功力。
