雅思寫作觀點對比類型思路梳理
Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
此類提問的題目中必然會有雙方觀點。
可能是正反方,觀點完全對立。
如:2009年1月10日考題Some people believe that the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between the poor people and the rich people, while some others say this has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
也可能只是對于某一話題的不同看法意見而已。
如2010年2月11日考題Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both of views and give your opinion.
但是不論是何種對立觀點,在回答此類題目時基本要把握的是考生必須在同一篇文章里面同時出現這雙方的觀點并進行適當的討論,同時也絕不能忘記提問中的后一半問題give your own opinion,也就是說全文完成后應該要有包括自己觀點在內的3方人的看法和意見。
當然此類Discuss both of views and give your opinion在最近幾年里的上升速度和出鏡次數是遠遠蓋過了雅思的典型提問方式Do you agree or disagree,在劍橋系列4-7的16次題目中有6次是討論雙方的題目,分別是Cambridge IELTS5 Test3, IELTS6 Test2, IELTS6 Test3, IELTS6 Test4, IELTS7 Test1, IELTS7 Test2. 那么到底該如何在短短的250個字內安排好3方人的看法呢?考試時若碰到此類問法,我們又該用什么樣的回答結構來應對呢?還是以劍橋系列考官所給范文為例,我們分析如下:
Cambridge IELTS5 Test3有關競爭與合作的題目中,考官最后給出的參考范文是得分為6分的學生作文,文章共分成4段,結尾段是闡述自己觀點和理由的段落,而中間兩段分別介紹雙方的看法,但是兩個段落明顯存在長短詳略,所以考官給出的評語中有這么一句話:Although the answer considers the main issues in the question, it deals much more with the aspect of competition than it does with cooperation However, the main points are relevant and the writers point of view is generally clear.
這篇文章也正好提醒我們的考生在完成此類文章時一定要注意在分析雙方看法時不要有明顯的字數差距。
我們再看一例Cambridge IELTS6 Test2有關體育明星高收入是否公平的題目回答,考官給出了一篇Model Answer,我們可以清楚的看到全文的4個段落的框架分法,開頭和結尾段字數略少,并未在開頭段直接亮明自己的觀點和看法,相反的是留到結尾段才首次提出Personally, I think the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.
主體兩段字數比較接近,分別論證雙方不同的看法,但是這篇考官范文也明確解答了不少考生的疑惑,就是在討論雙方的時候該以何種姿態來寫,贊同還是批判?在此文中考官更推薦的是盡管未在開頭段給出自己的觀點,但是在論證雙方看法時卻有明顯表露出自己的看法,因為在證明有人認為不公平時,考官除了提出他們的看法外,更是直接用However提出這些看法的錯誤性Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds So the notion of fairness is not the issue. 而在下一段證明另一方,也是考官贊同的一方時,卻并未出現如此的辯駁。
由此可以看出,各位考生在回答此類文章時該采取何種姿態。當然我們在考官給出的Cambridge IELTS6 Test4有關改變的題目回答中也能再次得到證明此種回答方式的科學性。
考官的觀點不像上篇是偏向某一方的,而是認為雙方都有可取和不全面的地方,所以在4段論證過程中,考官對主體討論他人看法時都同樣地表達出了他們看法的片面性,出現類似Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing.以及However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that change is always for the better. 最后在結尾段概括自己觀點時,考官就給出了一個更為客觀全面的觀點,認為改變有時是有好處的,但是并不是所有的改變都會有好結果。
