雅思寫作 | 如何應(yīng)對雅思大作文偏題怪題

很多考生都在雅思考試的時候遇到過這種情況,自己在雅思考試之前準(zhǔn)備了很多大作文需要的素材和材料,但奇怪的是上了考場碰到某些題目,這些素材好像就不管用了。根據(jù)筆者這幾年所積累的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗,雅思大作文在絕大多數(shù)情況下出題還是比較常規(guī)和正常的,但是確實存在著某些偏題或者難題、怪題(但是大家不用緊張,因為雅思怪題和難題出現(xiàn)的頻率不高)。今天筆者就給大家介紹一下如何攻克雅思大作文偏題怪題。

 

Example 1:

Advertising encourages people to buy in quantity rather than promoting its quality. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

廣告鼓勵人們購買大量的產(chǎn)品而不是促進提升產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。你同意還是不同意?

 

其實這道題目是典型的廣告類題目: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。而且考生們還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)去促進提升產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的,他們只是負責(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,公司的知名度和品牌聲譽(guarantee the brand and reputation of their company), 所以廣告從某些程度上講也可以促進產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量或者監(jiān)督產(chǎn)品(supervision).

 

寫的時候建議把disagree作為讓步段來寫,兩面都提及比較好。

 

接下來我們再來看一個例子:

Example 2:

There is an increasing number of people who do not know their neighbors, what causes this situation? How to solve?

有越來越多的人不認(rèn)識他們的鄰居,你認(rèn)為原因是什么?怎樣去解決?

 

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,千萬不要自說自話寫我同意或者不同意,因為題目根本沒有問你,一定要記住雅思大作文問什么,答什么,沒有問的一律不要寫!

 

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:,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). 第三,現(xiàn)在社會的人們都住在高樓大廈里面(contemporary people living in skyscrapers), 不像以前人們住在矮的平房或者里弄里(living in bungalow and lanes in the past days), 或者同一個小社區(qū)(little community). 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).

 

解決的方法有: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,增加交流機會和加強鄰里之間的友誼紐帶(increase the conversation opportunities and strengthen the friendship ties among the neighbors).
