第二種誤區(qū),觀點過于廣泛。教學(xué)中我們經(jīng)常強(qiáng)調(diào),雅思寫作論點一定要寫的具體,越細(xì)越好。而考生經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的問題就是會出現(xiàn)一些很寬泛的論點句,以至于在較短的篇幅里并不能充分展開,甚至有時候會造成觀點重疊。比如:“Mobile phones have changed our life greatly. ”這句只是說手機(jī)很大程度上改變了人們的生活,但是并未點明從哪些方面上帶來了改變,因此把這個觀點具化一下:“Mobile phones can serve as a connection to the Internet, which can be extremely convenient for obtaining information wherever you may be.”再比如:“Advertising has bad effects on all of society. ”這一句說廣告有不良影響,我們需要寫出具體的方面“Advertisements which exaggerate the function of the products may mislead the consumers.”
第三種誤區(qū),與第二種誤區(qū)相反,有類考生的雅思寫作論點寫的過于狹窄以至于沒有展開的空間甚至沒有進(jìn)一步支持的必要。這類句子與其說是觀點,倒不如說是事實的陳述或者只是舉了個例子而已。比如:“There are more local residents engaged in tourism industry. ”這句陳述了一個事實就是在當(dāng)?shù)卦絹碓蕉嗳碎_始從事旅游業(yè),并非觀點,可改為:“Tourism brings huge economic benefits to local residents.”再比如:“The consumption of fossil fuels increase in recent years. ”這句說化石燃料的消費近年來有增長,需給出論述重點,假設(shè)我們要論述原因:“The consumption of fossil fuels increasing in recent years results from two factors.”
第四種誤區(qū),一個論點句中包含兩個或多個主題。這種現(xiàn)象在讓步段的寫作中尤為明顯,讓步段寫作要求針對反方一個論點進(jìn)行反駁論述。如果反方觀點或反駁論點出現(xiàn)這種多主題情況,很容易讓文章失去統(tǒng)一性和連貫性,從而導(dǎo)致邏輯不清,扣分嚴(yán)重。比如:“Advertisements can help people make purchasing decisions which may not be rational. ”這句想說廣告能幫助人們做出購買選擇,又寫道可能造成沖動消費,兩個觀點且自相矛盾,改為:“Advertisements can help people make purchasing decisions.”再比如:“Different generation differ from each other a lot in living habits and attitudes.”這句說不同年齡段的人生活習(xí)慣和觀點不同,其實主要想強(qiáng)調(diào)這樣容易帶來沖突,改為:“ Different living habits and attitudes of different generation may cause conflicts while living together.”
雖然主旨句我們建議學(xué)生用最簡單最鮮明的語言去闡述,不用長難句,但是在觀點闡述過程中仍然會有以上問題。請考生切記觀點句要短而有力,并且具體。
