| 雅思:
雅思task2部分是作者对某个问题或某件事情进行分析, 评论,表明自己得观点, 立场, 态度, 看法和主张得一种文体. 议论文有三要素, 即论点, 论据和论证.论点得基本要求是观点明确. 认真概括; 论据基本要求是充分典型; 论证得基本要求是推理必须符合逻辑.
在着手准备雅思和iBT写作的时候, 也是有相同之处的, 可以归纳为以下几点:
1. 如何表达让步或保留
考生除了要学会表达并支持自己的论点外, 还要承认他人论点在一定情况下的合理性, 这样写出来的作文说服力更强. 常用的表达有:
Though, although, even if , even though, still nevertheless, in spite of, even so, after all, of course
People argue that teenage drivers should have as much freedom as adult drivers do. Admittedly, freedom given to young people today make them more respomsible and creative human beings in learning and many other ways of life. But I would argue that teenage drivers are much more unsafe than adult drivers.
这里的admittedly引导的句子祈祷的就是让步的作用.
Those against the usse of animal testing claim that it is inhunane to use animals in experiments. I disagree completely. It would be much more injumane to test new drugs on children or adults. Even if it were possible, it would also take much longer to see potential effedts, because of the length of time we live compared to lavoratory animals such as rats or rabbits.
在这个例子中, 作者明确反对禁止使用动物进行药物实验, 里面使用的even if it were possible后的也是一种让步的用法和上面例子不同的是, 作者在让步后马上证明如果此情况发生, 后果比使用动物做试验更为严重, 从而支持自己观点的合理性.
I agree that we need to make sure that animals who are used for testing new products have the minimus of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is nevessary, and that it will continue to venefit humans in new and wonderful ways.
