【實例講解】巧妙應(yīng)對雅思寫作考試中的偏題怪題
很多考試都遇到過這樣一個情況:在考前花了大量的時間準(zhǔn)備,也整理一些素材,但是一到實際考試中,準(zhǔn)備的材料似乎就沒有用了。緊張的心情從而影響了正常的發(fā)揮,難道雅思寫作考試的題目很偏嗎?事實卻并不是這樣,雅思作文欄目認(rèn)為,雅思大作文絕大多數(shù)情況下出題還是比較常規(guī)和正常的,但也確實存在著某些偏題或者難題、怪題(雅思怪題和難題出現(xiàn)的頻率不高)。我們可以從如下例子中發(fā)現(xiàn):
Example 1:
Advertising encourages people to buy in quantity rather than promoting its quality. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
考生拿到這個題目,首先要讀三遍,理解題目本質(zhì)的含義。廣告的本質(zhì)之一其實就是幫助賣家(selling agencies)或者廠商(manufactures)提升產(chǎn)品知名度(increase the brand reputation),從而打開市場(explore the wider markets), 提升產(chǎn)品的銷售額(boost the sales rates),慫恿或者引領(lǐng)消費者購買更多的產(chǎn)品(encouraging and leading the consumers to spend their salaries to purchase large quantities of products),所以考生從正面來回答(agree)的話,就可以從以上這些角度來入手,寫起來應(yīng)該不難。
考生必須要知道廠商或者銷售商是付錢給廣告商的(advertisement agencies receive payment from manufacturers),如果人們買得多,對廣告商本身也有好處。而且廣告本身是沒有義務(wù)(duty)或者責(zé)任(responsibility)去促進(jìn)提升產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的,他們只是負(fù)責(zé)幫助宣傳產(chǎn)品、拓展市場,只要贏得消費者眼球就可以了(help promote goods and explore the markets, win the customer’s eyeballs).
從反面講(disagree)廣告其實有時候也能促進(jìn)產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量,我們可以這樣想,一旦廣告把產(chǎn)品放大在消費者眼中,如果消費者因為看了廣告以后買了產(chǎn)品,卻不理想或者質(zhì)量很差(unsatisfied or inferior commodities),那么顧客就會到消費者保障局(consumer protection bureau)或者廠商這里投訴產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量,那些真正想擴(kuò)大市場或者站穩(wěn)腳跟的廠商有可能會引起重視(be highly alert to it),從而讓研發(fā)人員加大改善質(zhì)量的力度(improve the products), 或者推出新的高質(zhì)量(high-quality)產(chǎn)品,保證公司的知名度和品牌聲譽(yù)(guarantee the brand and reputation of their company),所以廣告從某些程度上講也可以促進(jìn)產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量或者監(jiān)督產(chǎn)品(supervision).
再來看一個例子:
There is an increasing number of people who do not know their neighbors, what causes this situation? How to solve?
這是一道典型的report的題目,注意report的文章如果題目沒有問你的想法是什么。如果同學(xué)們平時看報紙的話,就會發(fā)現(xiàn)其實這道題目是非常常見的社會類話題,可以從這幾個方面入手:第一,現(xiàn)代人生活節(jié)奏快(quick-paced life),壓力大(heavy pressure),平時人們一般早出晚歸,很少有時間和鄰居打交道(Go out early and come back at dusk, seldom having time socialize with their neighbors)。
第二,現(xiàn)代社會復(fù)雜度比以前社會高,犯罪率也在上升(modern society is much complicated and unpredictable than the former one, the crime rate is also soaring),所以人的警覺性比較高(citizens are more alert and vigilant),不愿和陌生人來往,怕引起不必要的麻煩(they are reluctant to get alone with the strangers to avoid some unnecessary troubles)。
第四,以前人們比較注重親情和人之間的交往(in the past, people highlight the personal relationship and interpersonal communication with neighbor),現(xiàn)代人比較喜歡窩在家里上網(wǎng),利用高科技和人們交流和溝通(modern people just stay at home surfing on the internet and chat with their friends through high technology in the virtual world).
解決方法:政府可以多建立一些公共場所讓小區(qū)的人們在這里健身和休閑,從而相互認(rèn)識和了解,比如政府可以在community里修建公共廣場和公園(public square, parks),小區(qū)物業(yè)委員會也可以多組織各種家庭活動、聚餐或者社區(qū)活動(the community property council can organize more family activities, parties and home dinners for some families, arrange community group activities)。這樣小區(qū)居民也會多見面,增加交流機(jī)會和加強(qiáng)鄰里之間的友誼紐帶(increase the conversation opportunities and strengthen the friendship ties among the neighbors).
看到這里,相信很多考生已經(jīng)對雅思寫作考試出題思路以及答題技巧有了一個充分的認(rèn)識,只要多做多練,相信大家可以很快取得進(jìn)步。
