备考aeas写作高分,请从语法做起

语法可以说是学习语言的基础和语言的思维方式,但它又是非常机械枯燥的东西,从而导致它在我们雅思考试备考中最容易被忽视。但是,一篇高分的雅思写作一定是可读性很强的文章,允许出现一些细小的语法错误,但不至于影响阅读。如果语法错误百出,考官读完都不知所云,那得分必然会低。

没有规矩,不成方圆,语法是我们学习一门非母语语言时必须遵循的一系列规则,是需要一下笔就该考虑的首要问题。考生们经常出现的语法错误有:可数名词不区别单复数、主谓不一致、两个动词连用、逗号隔开两个句子、动词或句子直接作主语、复合句用法错误等等。正如有官方统计说:中国考生之所以在雅思考试中取得较低的分数而且一直得不到改善,并不是直接和听说读写四项能力有关联,语法的薄弱其实是主要的原因之一。

现在有很多学生有一个误区:觉得用词越复杂越炫得分就越高。但是,再好的词语也会被一个重大的语法错误所抹杀。比如这个词汇高级但语法结构上却有重大错误的句子:

There is a noticeable decrease in public transportation locally where it dropped from 429 people in 1985 to 274 people in 2000.

这个句子里noticeable 和 locally 用的不错,可是这里的错误是典型的乱用由where引导的状语从句。这样的句法结构错误,再高深的词汇量也不能帮你从5分提高到6分。

语法之于雅思写作,就像我们曾经说过的,不管有多么华丽的词汇,没有清晰实用的语法概念和组织紧密,内容丰富多样的并列句和复杂句结构来作为骨架支撑的话,会严重的影响你的文章质量。以下是一篇语法结构有问题从而只能得到4分的真实考生写的文章片段,我们将它和一篇句型结构紧密多样的得到7分的真实考生的对比一下:

8-10分作文:

看看这位考生写的第二段:Firstly, I will discuss about two reasons of argument for to begin with universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject because it will be balance of idea while studying. In general, there usually are different ideas between man and woman. These lead to, new ideas from different vision will happen. Another reason is it display that have equal of society not accept in each side. In addition, nowadays, the most societies become to accept ability of both in any way.

整段体现出了句型混乱,句式杂糅的特点,并且有很多的并不符合英文语法的表达方法,甚至有很多句子碎片,拼合在一起就形成了一篇文章,当然分数不可能高的起来。

15-20分作文:Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas (in words, pictures, music or film) in whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

同样来看看这位考生写的第二段:Creative artists play a major role in our society, be it the government, old people, the youth or the children. Their works enlighten our minds, no matter if is factual or entertainment based. It is disserving that after a day’s work when we want to take some time off for ourselves, we look out for some leisure. For instance: either pleasant music or a family movie which soothes the mind. Entertainment give gives us an overview of a new side of life which every individual respects. There is almost everything good in what is given to us through the media world which is made up of artists.

整体来看,这段结构比较严谨,句式丰富,有定语从句、宾语从句和状语从句等较复杂句的使用,也非常符合英语语法的准则。这样的文章虽然有小错误,但是小错误并不太影响整体的结构,所以给出了7分的较高分。由此可见,语法结构是非常重要的拿分点。
