這是一篇雅思考官在外網(wǎng)上教大家寫作提分小貼士的文章。覺得很實用，翻譯過來供同學(xué)們們學(xué)習(xí)一下。

正文開始：

A multitude of IELTS learners ask me how to boost their IELTS Writing scores to Band 7.0 or higher. It’s not an easy question to answer, but fortunately there are many tips you can make use of. Below, I’ll show you some areas to focus on in order to boost your IELTS writing skills.

很多雅思考生問我如何提升他們的雅思寫作分?jǐn)?shù)到7分或者更高。這個確實不是一個簡單可以回答的問題，但是幸運地是這里有一些小建議可以供你參考。以下，我將會給你展示要提高雅思寫作技巧時你要關(guān)注的領(lǐng)域。

1 Vary your sentence length

句子長度多樣性

Once you know the different types of sentences, you should practice using them. The most difficult one is the compound-complex sentence, but even if you don’t know that, you can still get a good score with a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences. The key is varying the length and type of sentence so it sounds natural. Look at this example:

如果你知道不同的句子類型，你就可以試著多多練習(xí)。在眾多句型中，復(fù)合復(fù)雜句式最難的，不過就算你不懂這個語法，嘗試用一系列的簡單句，復(fù)雜句，和復(fù)合句相結(jié)合來寫這篇文章，你也可以得到一個很好的分?jǐn)?shù)。這個關(guān)鍵就在于句子類型和句子長度要多變，這樣寫作文也會比較自然。看一個下面的例子：

Firstly, children watch too much TV. It’s bad for their health. It can make them addicted. They will spend too much time indoors. This can make them fat.

The sentences are all short and could easily be mixed together into more interesting patterns

這個例子就是句子太短，你可以把句子連接在一起，并且得到一個更加有趣的版本。

Firstly, children watch too much TV, which is bad for their health. This habit can cause them to become addicted, resulting in them spending too much time indoors and thus getting fat.

2 Remember collocation

牢記固定搭配

Students preparing for the IELTS exam always want to study lots of vocabulary. This is understandable as vocabulary is important for understanding and making yourself understood. However, knowing a word’s meaning is very different from being able to use it. Learn a word in context and you will be able to apply it more easily. When you are learning vocabulary, pay attention to what words commonly go together.

學(xué)生們在準(zhǔn)備雅思考試的時候總會學(xué)習(xí)很多的詞匯，雅思詞匯對于我們提高對英文的理解是十分有重要的。然而有些時候，知道一個詞語的含義和會使用它還是有一定區(qū)別的。在文章中學(xué)習(xí)一個單詞會使得你在使用這個詞時更加容易。當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)詞匯的時候，一定要注意的是什么樣子的搭配會常常在一起。

我們來舉幾個例子：

Verb + thought:

Spare a thought for 想到，替……著想

Spare a thought for all those who are homeless on a cold night like this.

想到那些在寒冷的夜晚中無家可歸的人

Hear ones thought 聆聽……的想法

Have you given the new proposal any thought yet? We’re keen to hear your thought

你有沒有考慮新提議了嗎?我們渴望聽到你的想法嗎?

The thought occurs to someone

某人有了一個想法

The thought just occurs to me that it’s mum’s birthday tomorrow and we haven’t got her a card.

我突然間想到了明天是我媽媽的生日，我們還沒有給她卡片呢。

Gather one’s thought

理理思路

The President was taken aback by the question and took a minute to gather his thoughts.

總統(tǒng)被這個問題嚇了一跳，用一分鐘的時間來集中思想

Noun + preposition + thought:

great deal of thought

很多想法，大量思考

Shirley doesn’t devote a great deal of thought to her appearance.

雪莉?qū)λ耐獗頉]有太多想法

freedom of thought

思想自由

Some places don’t encourage freedom of thought.

有些地方不鼓勵思想自由。

school of thought

思想派別

One school of thought contends that modern man originated in Central Africa.

一種學(xué)派認為現(xiàn)代人類起源于非洲中部。

train of thought

思路，思緒

Sorry, where was I? I’ve lost my train of thought.

對不起，我說到哪里了?我剛剛沒了思路

3 Avoid ceally, so, a lot, very

避免使用really, so, a lot, very

In IELTS writing, you need to write an essay, using “academic” language. So your goal should be to be reasonably formal/academic. To do so, you should not use imprecise language like really, so, a lot, very, etc

在雅思寫作中，你需要使用學(xué)術(shù)語言，你的目標(biāo)是正式和學(xué)術(shù)，所以你不要使用較為口語化的really, so , a lot and very.

舉一些例子

Examples:

Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is very hard.

==> Use a stronger word: Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is difficult

Very good ==> top-notch, splendid, terrific, excellent, magnificent, fabulous, outstanding, etc

Very bad ==> horrible, terrible, outrageous, distressing, awful, etc

Very delicious ==> appetizing, delectable, flavorful, scrumptious, enjoyable, palatable, etc

Robot-driven car is really controversial

==> Robot-driven car is controversial

A lot of IELTS learners share their great tips on IELTS writing, speaking on IELTS Material website.

==> Many/A great number of/ A multitude of IELTS learners……

4Do not use Contractions in academic writing

不要在學(xué)術(shù)寫作中使用縮略形式

It’s better to write out the words like:

最好寫成一下的樣子

Don’t ==> do not

Can’t ==> cannot

Mustn’t ==> must not

Couldn’t ==> could not

Wouldn’t ==> would not

Isn’t ==> is not

Haven’t ==> have not

Hasn’t ==> has not

5 Avoid “There is/ There are”

避免使用 There is/ There are

When you write, try to write your ideas in a clear & concise way. There is/there are is extra words that are not needed. So just leave them out to make your sentences stronger and straight to the point.

當(dāng)你在寫作的時候，努力將你的想法用一種簡潔的方法呈現(xiàn)出來。有些詞語是不需要的，這樣可以使你的句子更加直戳重點

Example:

There are many issues that students have to face at university

==> Students face a multitude of issues at university

6Know the sentence types

知道句子類型

It’s really important that you know the difference between a simple sentence and a complex sentence. You don’t need to know the terminology, but it is important that you can form full sentences. Knowing the sentence types means being able to avoid these cardinal sins of writing:

了解簡單句和復(fù)雜句式的區(qū)別很重要，你不需要知道術(shù)語，但是你需要有能力自己完成一個句子的寫作。了解句子類型可以幫助你避免許多基本的寫作錯誤

sentence fragment

句子片斷，句子成分殘缺

run-on sentences

粘連句

comma splices

逗號誤接句

1. SENTENCE FRAGMENTS:

句子片斷

This is the most common grammar error IELTS students make. A sentence fragment cannot be a sentence by itself. It does not even have one independent clause.

Remember: a simple sentence is an independent clause, which requires 3 things:

1. A subject

2. A verb

3. A complete thought

這是雅思考生經(jīng)常犯的錯誤。殘缺句子成分的句子片斷是不可以單獨成句的，因為他并不具備成為一個完整的獨立分句的要素。記住，一個簡單句就是一個合格的獨立分句，它由3部分組成

主語，謂語，和一個完整的思路

Sometimes it seems to be a sentence, but if we examine it closely it lacks the necessary parts and thus cannot stand alone.

有時看起來像一個句子，但是當(dāng)我們仔細研究時會發(fā)現(xiàn)它缺少了許多很關(guān)鍵的成分，因此它并不能成為一個獨立的句子。

Examples:

? The doctor worked round the clock. Operating on the boy.

? As India has entered the WTO. The local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.

我們怎么改正這些句子呢?

Corrections:

? The doctor worked around the clock, operating on the boy.

? As India has entered the WTO, the local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.

2. RUN-ON SENTENCES:

粘連句

A run-on sentence consists of two or more main clauses that are joined together without proper punctuation (comma, semi-colon, period, etc). We often speak in run-on sentences but our pauses indicate meaning; however, when we write we need to use punctuation to break up our sentences and impart proper meaning.

Comma splices occur when two independent clauses are joined by a comma. Remember: a comma is not strong enough to join these clauses itself! You need a conjunctive coordinator to complement it, or else use a semi-colon and a conjunctive adverb.

Most importantly, to do well in the IELTS writing you don’t need to be a punctuation expert. Just knowing commas and periods is usually sufficient for a good grade.

粘連句包含著兩個或更多的主句，他們連在一起，沒有標(biāo)點分隔(逗號、分號、句號等)。我們在說話的時候經(jīng)常使用這樣的粘連句，但是我們可以用停頓來表述清楚含義。在寫文章的時候，我們需要用標(biāo)點符號來分隔我們的句子，讓它有更明確的表達含義。

【逗號誤接句】就是兩個獨立主句之間逗號連接，這是很多考生會犯的錯誤。記住，逗號不能鏈接兩個獨立的句子，你需要添加連接詞來使它變完整，或者使用分號或者連接副詞。

更重要的一點，想在雅思寫作中拿高分，你不需要對所有標(biāo)點符號的使用都了如指掌，了解逗號和句號的使用方法就足夠了。

Examples:

Van Gogh is a world-famous artist his paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.

Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet, his most famous poem is Howl.

我們怎么改正呢?

Corrections:

Van Gogh is a world-famous artist whose paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.

Van Gogh is a world-famous artist. His paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.

Van Gogh is a world-famous artist; his paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.

Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet, whose most famous poem is Howl.

Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet. His most famous poem is Howl.

Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet; his most famous poem is Howl.

那正如我們可以看到的就是，不僅僅只有一個方法來改正錯誤，但是一定要根據(jù)句子最最準(zhǔn)確的含義來改正

3. COMMA SPLICES:

逗號誤接句

Be careful to avoid a comma splice. This is a very comma error wherein two independent clauses are joined with a comma, like this:

這一點在前面已經(jīng)強調(diào)了，要十分小心在用逗號鏈接兩個句子時，要避免前后兩個句子都出現(xiàn)了謂語動詞。

比如：

The dog was hungry, he wanted some food.

We can change it in a number of ways to make it correct.

我們可以用很多方法來改正它

The dog was hungry; he wanted some food.

The dog was hungry. He wanted some food.

The dog was hungry, and he wanted some food.
