如何写好雅思写作主题句
雅思写作中凸显主题才能让考官更加喜欢,那么你知道怎样写好主题句吗?下面小编和大家聊聊这个问题。
都说雅思作文中的主题句很重要,是这样的吗?
雅思大作文的字数才250个,但是真正的英语议论文至少也是1000个字起。这样看来,清晰和有条理就非常的必要,否则因为文章太长,不少老 师,或者考官根本不会有很多心情看。主题句就是清楚明白的告诉读者你在这段里面要说什么,这样即使读者没有心情看完整片文章,只要看文章每段的主题句也就 能知道你每段的内容了。雅思大作文中,主题句的作用非常大。有了主题句就会是文章看起来结构清晰,重点突出,给考官留下一个好印象,当然也会使自己在写的时候思路更加清晰,写起来更顺畅。你可以关注一下北京新东方的雅思7分写作班,对重点写作题目进行分题型、分背景讲解,并为学员提供答题素材,在雅思的写作中,考官会要在几天内看很多分考卷,如果你有很好的主题句,考官会更有兴趣看你的文章,而不是那些一段话的第一句就云里雾里,更不要说后来的内容的文章了。
如何写雅思写作的主题句
雅思大作文四个评分标准的第一个就是Task Response(任务回应情况,以下简称TR),即,切题。
众所周知,雅思大作文题目都是由题干和写作要求(疑问句或者陈述句)组成的,比如:
题目1:
Some people think that governments should invest more in teaching science.
Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
显然,为了切题,题干和写作要求都应该在文章主题句中体现出来。否则,写出的主体段就会出现放在哪个题目下都合适的尴尬局面:轻者考官认为偏题,重者考官则可能判为模版,分数可想而知。
一、关键词
“关键词”是题干中能体现出题意图的词或短语,一个核心焦点,即单边,就有一组“关键词”,如果题干是双边,则用两组“关键词”表示题干。那么如何准确定位关键词呢?毫无疑问,找关键词的前提是读懂题干意思,既然能够代表题干主旨、出题意图,那么在确定关键词之后,假设关键词是“A”,就可以问自己:“这个题目问的是A的原因吗”、“这个题目问的是A的优缺点吗?”等。
比如:
Because of traffic and housing problems in the cities, the government encourages business to move to the rural areas.
Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
关键词如果是“traffic and housing problems”的话,那就可以问:“这个题目问的是:原因是交通和住房问题还是其它的吗”,显然不是,同样方法找出关键词是“business move to the rural areas”。
二、最终原因/结果
综合所有题目中的“写作要求”,雅思大作文本质是写出“关键词”的“原因”、“影响”或“解决措施”。不难理解,在找出题干“关键词”后,如果问原因,那么以“关键词”为起点,需要往前推理,得出“最终原因”;如果问“影响”,那么以“关键词”为起始点往后推理得出“最终结果”;如果问“措施”,则在推出原因后,提出相对应的解决措施即可。
invest in teaching science(理科)——>理科科目(subjects)就会增加/学习理科科目的人数就会增加——>理科相关科目从业者(practitioners)就会增加——>促进国家相关行业发展
那么,以“关键词”为起点的思路就写出来了,那么这个题目中的“最终结果”就是:“促进国家相关行业发展”。另外,需要注意的是此过程中箭头右边务必是箭头左边的最直接结果,否则,在论证过程中会出现逻辑漏洞。
然后,要确保“关键词”和“最终结果”都出现在文章中,该论点的主题句就可以写成:
If government funding is invested heavily in science, the corresponding sectors of a country would be improved a lot.
比如题目3:
Many people these days work in other countries, taking their family with them.
Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
take family with them——>工作时分心(be distracted)——>工作表现不好(poor performance of their duties)——>令老板失望(be disappointed)
根据“关键词”+“最终结果”,该题目的主题句是:带家人出国工作令其老板失望(The decision to move to another country with their family can make the bosses be disappointed)。不难看出,这样的主题句仍然会使读者困惑,达不到段落主题句应有的效果,因为从关键词直接跨到最终结果跨度太大。
这时可以将中间步骤放在“关键词”+“最终结果”之间,改成:“关键词”+某个“中间步骤”+“最终结果”,那么该题目的主题句可以写成:
The decision to move to another country with their family may be highly likely to distract those managers from work, which would make the bosses be disappointed.
主题句关系到主体段落的论证过程是否切题,更关系到考官对于整篇文章内容的定位,相信读者也已经意识到了段落开头句的重要性。希望考生勤加练习,最终可以写出准确恰当的主题句。
雅思写作大作文主题句示例及讲解
主题句在西方的书面语里面是很重要的。
举个简单的例子,在文章some people believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not pay any tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. 关于是否要交税,我们中国的说话习俗是: 我们要交税,这样政府有钱,有钱就可以建设公共设施,比如说学校,医院,这样人们的生活就可以更好,促进了经济社会的发展。而西方的习惯是:我们要交税,这样大家可以生活的更好,社会经济都可以发展。因为政府有了钱就可以投资很多的公共设施,比如说学校,医院。所以,在我们的雅思写作中,主题句的写作就很关键。要注意的是,主题句要和段落的内容一致。
我们今天给大家展示一篇学生的作文,其中明显的问题就是我们的主题句问题。这篇作文的题目是:Advertisements play a major role on TV in market economics. Despite the benefits of such information, many people criticize the role of TV advertising. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their view?
我们来看一下学生的作文。
Advertising, as a major method of companies to publicize their products, has come to people’s vision more and more frequently and I don’t think it’s an actually good thing for us.
On one hand, TV advertisings certainly provide much information about new product for consumers, whereas most of that information is useless. Facing so many junk advertising when watching TV has raised audiences’ continuous complains. The advertisings interrupt TV programmes and spoil people’s enjoyment of the show. At times some channels arrange so many advertisings during the gap between programmes. The movie channel, for example, has almost fifteen -minute advertisings between the upper and the rest part of a film, let alone different films. As for teenagers or some adults, whose time are mainly occupied by mobile phones rather than TV, advertisings’ impact may be not obvious. But for those who are accustomed to watching TV, like some senior citizens or young children, watching TV programmes are their major entertainment activities. Keeping changing channels to find a nice programme without playing numerous advertisings is such a difficult thing, which almost drives them mad.
For another reason, the advertisings are designed to make products more attractive to consumers to achieve better effect. Some advertisers will divided into people into different groups and device suitable schemes to people in different groups respectively. However, the advertisings aiming at target population can be seen by everyone comparably, which means that children are exposed to media violence or sexual images at a higher risk. What’s more, children can be influenced by these advertisings easily and no one can promise that they will learn something bad from the advertisings.
从这篇文章中,我们能够看到学生的第二段的主题句主要是说广告没用,而我们后面的段落主要内容是在讲广告影响了我们看电视,所以跟本段的主题句内容完全不符,这就说明我么你的主题句是有问题的。而我们的第二个理由段中,主题句讲的是广告让产品更有吸引力了,但是我们的内容却是广告的内容可能会影响人,这个依然是不符的。
