202最新雅思写作优缺点题型指南
在雅思写作的大作文中,有一类常见的题目就是分析与讨论。下面小编就和大家分享雅思写作优缺点题型指南,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思写作优缺点题型指南
首先,假设这是一个口语问题,大家回想一下:提问的句子,首先需要回答的是什么?
应该是Yes, I do/Yes, it does. No, I don’t/ No, it doesn’t.
这就反映出了:你需要给出你的观点。放到写作里,你就需要表明你的态度,是advantages多呢还是disadvantages多呢?二者取其一。所以,这样提问方式的雅思作文,应该要有明确的态度,不要中立。
在首段的写作里,和其它所有类型的文章一样,都是先写背景,然后引出话题。需要注意的就是首段最后一句话,需要你明确的表明观点。
下面我们结合例子来讨论,:
【示例】
Multicultural societies are mixtures of ethnic groups. Do you think their advantages outweigh their disadvantages?
【首段范例】
The multicultural groups have become much more common than before due to the increased communications among various ethical groups. Both pros and cons are involved in relation to this tendency.Personally, I believe that there are more advantages than disadvantages.
首段是比较简单的,依循洋八股的套路,背景——引出——表明观点即可。
下面就进入到主题论述段。首先,论述段的结构,一定是先写topicsentence (present a main idea);然后(extend)解释topicsentence;最后是(support),support部分使用举例证明、因果证明或者假设条件句证明,或者其它合适的证明方法都可。
在论述段需要注意的是,虽然你有一个明确的观点,也就是要么支持advantages,要么支持disadvantages.但是这并不意味着你写主体论述段的时候是一边倒的结构。相反,千万不要一边倒。因为,如果你是支持advantages,那么试问,你怎么来论证advantages大于disadvantages呢?自然而然我们就会想到对比。因为advantages多,disadvantages少;或者advantages程度大,disadvantages程度小。所以advantagesoverweigh disadvantages才能成立。
换句话说,你既需要提到advantages,又要说到disadvantages.那么在整体结构上,就是双边论证。这一点和discussboth views一样,两边都要去论述。但是不同的地方在于,discussboth views需要你论述强度相当,而advantages overweigh disadvantages需要你有一个侧重点,从而反映advantages大于disadvantages.
从段落分配上,你可以一共写两个论述段,也可以写三个论述段。这一点考官不在乎你怎么安排。我个人建议写三段。结构如下:
第二段:好处1;具体解释好处1;举例证明好处1。
第三段:好处2;具体解释好处2;举例或者假设条件句来证明好处2。
第四段:坏处1;具体解释坏处1;举例证明坏处1。
现在常说这样的结构就是:主体段+让步段。那么到底先写主体段还是先写让步段呢?这一点我没有和考官探讨过。我自己一贯的写法是先写核心观点的段落,后写让步段。理由是,我的第一段最后一句话是表明观点的句子。接下来我用两段话来论证我的核心观点,是顺理成章且很自然的衔接和逻辑。
如果第一段最后一句给出观点,下面紧跟的第二段写让步段,实际上就是写和自己观点完全相反的内容。我觉得这样写,有一点思维跳跃,段落与段落之间的cohesion and coherence会被扣分。再次说明,这只是我自己的观点,我一直这么写,考官没有过质疑,因此我也就没有专门和考官讨论是不是就是应该这样,把让步段放到后面去。
写完主体论述部分后,就是最后一段的总结了。和discuss both views不同之处在于,discuss both views需要你新论述一个你的看法,而advantages overweigh its disadvantages就不需要了。只需要你直接总结你主体论述部分已经给出的观点就可以了。相对来说其实简单一些。
【结论段举例】(题目同开头段举例一样)
In conclusion, I agree that both positive and negative aspects should be considered when talking about multicultural societies. However, I believe that the tendency should been couraged, since the advantages overwhelm the disadvantages.
【再以我的一篇练习文章的结论段举例】
By and large, private companies do more than help to provide patients efficient and targeted therapy. They also offer detailed services to clients. Although the service cost in such places is relatively higher than it is in normal public hospitals, the effect and efficiency of their treatment cannot be disregarded. They are a kind of reliable supplement to public hospitals, providing alternatives to customers’demands.
顺便说一下,从考官的评语来看,考官对写作题目所持观点和我是不一样的,但是这并不影响他给我的作文评分。他的评分还是严格按照雅思评分标准来的。所以我想说,写作,不要在乎你的观点,只要你能自圆其说,按照标准格式去论证,那你就可能获得你想要的分数。
雅思写作范文:控制媒体暴力
The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue?
政府应该控制电影电视上暴力镜头的数量,为了减少社会暴力犯罪。你在多大程度上同意或不同意这个问题?
思路解析:
应该控制1:暴力电影和镜头是精神毒药。它们包含太多的刺激的,煽动性的情结,这让观众变得富有攻击性。
应该控制2:暴力电影中的电影明星树立了负面榜样,他们给年轻人传达了一个错误的观念,即暴力是一种合适的方式来解决一切社会问题,这在年轻人中培养了一种对于犯罪的崇拜。
不应该控制:暴力镜头本身就能反应社会现实,这是对于人们的一种教育,也让他们对于可能在身边出现的暴力进行防范。

Nowadays, many people argue that the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television, in order to reduce social crimes. In my view, this assertion is partially wise, and my reasons would be explored as below.
Admittedly, there are many good reasons for controlling the amount of violence in films and on television. First, violent films and television are mental poisons for the audience It is because they contains numerous of erotic, corrupt and provoking episode, with long exposure to which, viewers might become aggressive and eccentric. In addition, violence contents set negative role models for young viewers, especially the youth. Activities like fighting, shooting or killing done by movie stars send teenagers a wrong message that violence is an effective or even essential solution to all troubles. Therefore, these youngsters with immature minds begin to admire violence and disrespect social rules, which leads to the increasing of the juvenile delinquents. According to the analysis above, it is clear that the measure of limiting violent information on media should be encouraged, for the reason that it can directly cut off the access to those illegal and evil behaviors and thoughts, thus keeping people from imitating them.
Advocates claim that the practice of controlling the amount of violence in mass media is a brazen violation of the people's basic right to know the truth of the world. For example, some films contain some violence, but they reflect the things happened around us. Rather than producing negative effects on audience, to some extent, these films educate them. Furthermore, violence in films or on television programs cultivates people's senses of crisis and responsibility, which makes ordinary people and police work better for public security. Consequently, it is irresponsible and foolish to blame the media for violence in our society.
As far as I am concern, I strongly believe that the amount of violence in films and TV should be controlled. At the same time, we cannot deny the advantages brought by them. And the best policy is to develop the merits of the violent films and television, while grading and filtering them.
雅思写作范文:广告的作用
If the product is of good quality and meets people’s needs, people will buy it. Therefore, advertising is unnecessary and is no more than a type of entertainment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
如果产品质量好,满足人们的需求,人们就会去买。因此,广告是没必要的,仅仅是一种娱乐。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意?
思路解析:
1. 娱乐功能:在指导人们购物上,广告的作用正在衰退。举例,人们更喜欢通过互联网的帖子和测评信息来选择商品。
2. 销售功能:广告帮助人们有效地了解和对比产品。举例,通过广告中对于相关产品的参数,功能,和总体性能的描述,客户能了解到该产品的特点和价值,并对于产品的好坏做出判断。
3. 刺激销售:广告能勾起观众的购买欲。举例,一个精美的广告往往能让用户重复购买他们不需要的东西,如奢侈品广告。
参考范文:
What is the root function of an advertisement in media? Some people believe it is just for entertaining viewers and it has nothing to do with products selling. Personally, I hold an opposed view that advertising is still the main way of stimulating the consumption of common goods, and my reasons will be explored as below.
Admittedly, Advertisements today have less influence on the public to purchase commodities, because now there are diverse information accesses to understand a product. For example, on an age of Internet, people with desires of purchasing goods, especially the youngsters, prefer reading the professional articles of forums or assessment websites collecting comments and feedbacks from consumers, or listening to the advices from the face-to-face communication with friends and peers. In their eyes, the description of a certain product on an advertisement is unpractical, unobjective and unconvincing. Therefore, advertisements—such as posters in billboards and Videos in TV screens—are viewed as the amusement by which the audience’s stress and worries in minds can be relieved.
However, I strongly believe this assertion underestimate advertisement functions in day-to-day life. Firstly, by what way can a customer be sure of whether a product is really good or needed? The answer is definitely the advertisement. For example, today cell phones of different bands have a high similarity in their appearances and shapes, and it is a big challenge for customers to pick put the right one. So there is a necessity for adverting, which can clearly presents the inner components, parameters and unique features of a cell phone. By reading the detailed information, customers can easily distinguish one product from others, and make a proper judgment of which one is the best or most satisfying for them.
The second reason against this assertion is that advertisements can encourage viewers to buy items they do not need. For example, typical slogans on advertisements like “special discount”, “limited time offer” and “buy one get one free”, are overwhelming temptations. They manipulate brains of customers, driving them to purchase these bargains, with no concern of whether the products are really essential or not.
All in all, this assertion is basically problematic. Although the influence of advertisements is declining, they are still irreplaceable, in terms of their great contributions on instructing people to compare and select high-quality products, as well as sparking the desire of customers to do more shopping.
