雅思四个评分标准中的Lexical Resource(词汇资源) 考察的就是文章中词汇的使用情况,即考生的词汇量。那么在背单词,扩充词汇量的基础上,考生应该如何在考试时体现自己的词汇水平呢? 今天就和大家来谈一下提高lexical resource 评分的几个方法。
雅思写作
一:同义词替换
英文写作当中非常忌讳同一个词重复地出现,大家可以观察到在许多高分文章当中同一种事物作者会使用很多不同的方法表达,那么这种同义词替换的方法既可以体现作者的单词量,也会让文章显得更丰富。那么下面就一篇大作文为例:
在这篇教育类的文章中,我们可以看一下“决定学生的专业”这一说法的各种表达形式:
题目:Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss the two views and give your opinion.
(一些人认为单位应该决定大学生的专业,但也有些人认为学生应该按照自己的喜好选择专业。给出你的观点)
Some people support the idea of letting government decide what students’ curriculum should be while others argue it should be left to the students to decide.
Though there is indeed benefit if government were to have the final say in choosing a major, I believe students are entitled to arrange their studyindependently.
Lastly, as the majority of the education funds are provided by the government, it should have a say in what the student will be learning.
Most importantly, a student knows his interest and ambition the best, which makes him the most capable person topick the right subjects.
可以看到上面的这个文章中的“大学专业”这一词用了各种不同的方式表达了出来,除了题目中的subject,还可以用:
major
discipline
what students are learning
what is in the curriculum
study
因此在考试时,考生的思维应该更加活络,采用多种写法来描述同一事物。
二:合成词
在英语里,合成词指的是把两个或多个单词中的一部分混合后组成的新词语,这种构词方式在现代英语中尤为常见。
比如:
“vlog 视频博客”来自单词“video 视频”和“blog 博客”;
单词 “brunch 早午餐”从“breakfast 早餐”和“lunch 午餐”演变而来。
虽然这类词语最早常出现在网络平台上,但现在许多受欢迎的合成词也已经被纳入辞典当中,成为正式词汇。在英文写作当中可以根据需要灵活的组织词汇,使用复合词。如常用的复合词有:
ready-made 现成的
state-of-the-art 的
well-known 的
hard-working 努力的
good-looking 好看的
breath-taking 令人屏息的
grown-up 成年人
newlyweds 新婚夫妇
heart-broken 伤心的
takeaway 外卖
除此之外,我们还可以根据具体语境来合成词语,如 “单位选择的专业”可以说表述为“subjects that are chosen by government”或者“government-chosen subjects” 。
使用合成词会令句子更简单,层次也更丰富。使用合成词可以使句子更简单,如:
Australia is a country which speaks English = Australia is an English-speaking country. 澳大利亚是英语国家
people who love peace = peace-loving people 爱好和平的人民
a young man who looks good = a good-looking young man 帅哥
eterprises which are owned by state = state-owned enterprises 国企
三:使用准确的词语
词语的准确性也是影响lexical resource的一个重要因素。有许多意思相近的词用起来表示的意义却是不一样的。
如经济价值一般是economic value 而不是financial value,虽然financial和economic都有表示经济的意思。
除此之外,由于英文中有许多词是从一个词根衍生而来,因此许多词意思相近,拼写也相近,用起来确实不一样的。必须要准确掌握每个词的意思,才能在考试中从容地使用。
如拉丁语中的“bas”一词指低的,基础的,英文中有许多相关的衍生词:
base, 名词,表示基本。
There was a cycle path running along this side of the wall, right at its base.
在墙的这边,沿着墙根有一条自行车道。
basis, 名词,指抽象意义上的基础。
We're going to be meeting there on a regular basis.
我们将定期在那里会面。
basement ,名词,地下室或者基地。
They bought an old schoolhouse to live in and built a workshop in thebasement.
他们买了一处老校舍当住房,然后在地下室里建了一个作坊。
basic,形容词,基本的。
One of the most basic requirements for any form of angling is a sharp hook.
不管以什么方式钓鱼,有一个锋利的鱼钩都是最基本的要求之一。
以上就是本次总结的提高lexical resource评分的几个需要注意的方面,希望大家以后在写作练习中能够多多注意,并进行应用,拿到理想的分数。以上这些都是语意中含有“基本”这一意义的词,如果在文章中使用产生了混淆,无疑会给考官造成考生对词汇运用不佳的印象. 更多关于雅思的资讯与详情,可咨询广州新航道在线老师。
2020年1月4日雅思写作大作文题目:电视播放审判现场是好还是坏?
In some countries, the criminal trials are shown on the TV and the general public can watch them. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
解析&审题
2020年雅思考,作文涉及的是犯罪题材。这是重复2016年10月22日考题。老雅预测,2020年雅思作文重复较多的应该是2016-2018年题目,大家可以适当多关注这几年的真题。
犯罪题材一般问犯罪的原因,罪犯的惩罚方式,避免犯罪的方法等,但这次要求讨论的话题稍微转换了一个方式,问的是电视播放犯罪审判这个做法到底是好还是坏?可见雅思作文命题非常灵活,备考雅思时适当了解各类题材的基本写法和基本词汇当然非常必要,但若不提高自己的写作实力或者规范自己的写作思维方式,一味抱着背到现题的心态,是很难在雅思写作中奏效的。
那么,在本次作文的审题中,我们发现两个关键词,一是犯罪审判(criminal trials),二是电视播放(shown on TV)。关于电视播放广告的优劣势这样的题目我们不会陌生,但电视里播放犯罪审判又是一种什么样的情形呢?关键是:讨论这样的题目,我们应该从哪里着手开始呢?经常看唐老师本专栏的同学一定不会陌生老雅提出的雅思写作“三大层次”说,即物质层次、心理层次和社会层次(请回看本专栏各期,一定要掌握精髓并在写作中有意识地使用,可以在很大程度上解决雅思作文“写什么”这一难题!)。如果我们将这三大层次用于“电视播放犯罪审判”这个话题,我们就可得到如下一些可用的观点:
赞同:(1)看电视审判犯人,我们可以学到很多关于法律的知识(物质层面);(2)电视审判犯人,可以让观众内心感到害怕,从而不敢犯罪(心理层面);(3)电视审判,关注面大,从而使审判显得更加公正(社会层面)。
反对:(1)电视审判犯人,必定将犯罪细节公之于众,这在某种程度上是在宣传暴力(物质层面);(2)因为知道要电视播放,法官和律师的注意力往往从案件审理转移到电视作秀,不利于法律的正常实施(心理层面和社会层面)。
我的观点:作为公民,我们有权利知道犯人是如何得到审判的,因此我赞同电视审判犯人,但是电视审判中也要注意控制那些不宜播放的犯罪细节,并降低电视媒介对审判过程的不良影响。好,请看唐老师是如何用语言具体演绎以上观点的。
老师笔记
01、Whether criminal trials should be shown on TV or not has always been a controversial issue. After discussing the advantages of this practice and its disadvantages, I come to believe televising criminal trials is a good thing as long as its negative effects are brought well under control.
罪犯审判是否应该在电视上播放一直是一个有争议的问题。在讨论了这种做法的优点和缺点之后,我开始相信,只要负面影响得到很好的控制,电视转播犯罪审判就是一件好事。

解析
(1) 本段提出拟讨论的问题,并明确给出自己的观点。
(2) Controversial 有争议的
(3) Bring...under control 让......得到控制
02、Showing criminal trials on TV can serve multiple purposes at the same time such as educational, deterrent and regulatory. When watching how criminals are tried and sentenced, TV viewers will learn a great deal about the law and the legal system. In fact, it was from a televised trial that I finally understood it is a violation of law if you do not stop your car when you see a stop sign. Meanwhile, TV trials can help bring down the crime rate. People are fearful of their faces shown on TV after they commit crimes because it is generally considered to be a disgrace to the family. Finally, aware that they are watched by the general public, the lawyers and judges will have to make sure that the law is followed strictly and the justice is done to the highest standards.
在电视上播放犯罪审判可以同时达到教育、威慑和监管等多种目的。当看到罪犯如何被审判和判刑时,电视观众会学到关于法律和法律制度的很多事情。事实上,正是从一次电视转播的审判中,我终于明白,如果你看到停车标志时不停车,那就是违法行为。同时,电视审判有助降低犯罪率。人们害怕犯罪后在电视上看到自己的脸,因为这通常被认为是家庭的耻辱。最后,意识到由于他们受到公众的关注,律师和法官将必须确保严格遵守法律,并以标准伸张正义。

解析
(1) 本段论证电视播放犯罪审判的好处:学到法律知识,产生威慑作用,监督法官审判。请注意,本段开头使用了三个词(即“教育”“威慑”“监管”)高度概括本段的主要内容,使之成为一个标准的topic sentence。
(2) Multiple 多样的
(3) Deterrent 威慑的
(4) It is...that... 正是......(强调句)
(5) Violation 违反(n.)
(6) Bring down 降低
(7) Crime rate 犯罪率
(8) Disgrace 侮辱;丢脸
03、Admittedly, TV trials, particularly the live shows, may bring about negative effects as well. Often the TV trials will present a lot of details of the criminal offenses such as killing, embezzling, cheating, so much so that they become a promotion of these crimes. As a matter of fact, many juvenile offenders admit they have been under great influences of TV criminal shows. More importantly, in TV criminal trials, lawyers and judges may often pay more attention to their own personal images to the TV viewers, thus forgetting the real purpose of the trial, which is to find if a person is guilty or innocent and in this way, the justice may be sacrificed.
诚然,电视审判,特别是直播,也可能带来负面影响。电视审判往往会提供许多犯罪的细节,如杀人、贪污、欺骗,以至于这些细节宣扬了这些罪行。事实上,许多少年犯承认他们受到了电视刑事节目的巨大影响。更重要的是,在电视上犯罪审判,律师和法官往往会更多地关注自己给电视观众的个人形象,从而忘记审判的真正目的,即找出一个人是否有罪或者无辜,这样,正义就可能被牺牲。
解析
(1) 本段讨论电视播放犯罪审判可能带来的不良影响:宣扬犯罪细节;干扰法官判案。
(2) Criminal offense 犯罪行为
(3) Juvenile offender 青少年罪犯
(4) Innocent 无罪的;无辜的
04、However, I personally do like the idea of putting criminal trials on TV. Besides telling us right from wrong in a more vivid way and preventing us from committing crimes, TV trials will let us know how the punishment is meted out and how justice is done. This, I believe, is what our basic civil right is all about.
然而,就个人而言,我喜欢电视播放犯罪审判这个想法。除了用更生动的方式告诉我们对错,防止我们犯罪外,电视审判还会让我们知道如何量刑,如何实现公正。我相信,这就是我们的基本民事权利的全部内涵所在。
解析
(1) 本段总结,并明确自己的观点。
(2) Vivid 生动的
(3) Mete out (a punishment) 量(刑)
