1. 书中的范文是否能够达到7分水平。 不要觉得惊讶,很多中国老师写的参考书中的范文是无法达到7分的。虽然看起来通篇都是从句,复杂到无比的词,但是它就是达不到雅思的7分。那么照着这样的参考书练习,就如同上了贼船。浪费时间不说,时间长了养成习惯还很难改回来。
2. 书中是否宣扬模板。 模板对于以6分为目标的考生来说,是一味猛药,立竿见影。内容的空洞可以通过形式的华丽来弥补。但是如果目标是7分,模板有百害而无一利。模板能够带来的是单词和句型分数的些许提高,丧失的是切题以及行文逻辑。试想,如果一篇250字的文章都是it is suggested that, there is no doubt that, 那么还能留多少空间给自己的论述呢。论述无法展开,那么逻辑性从何而来?
3. 书中是否对雅思的四项评分标准都有对应的应对策略。可以说,四项评分标准的权重是一样的,忽视任何一样,都可能造成自己无法达到7分。很多书中大肆宣扬单词和语法的重要性,罗列了无数看起来华丽无比的单词,介绍了很多看起来很炫的句式,但是对于TR和CC,只是略加提及或者根本没有有效的应对策略。那么这种书就是残废,要在第一时间抛弃。
yrqin的<Step_by_Step_剖析雅思写作>中的范文不用说,很多都是native speaker所写,地道,而且优美。书中对于TR和CC阐述的非常详尽,可以说是step by step,重要的是这本书可以完全免费的从网络上获得。需要付出的只有时间以及对yrqin无私分享的敬仰。
顾家北的<顾家北手把手教你雅思写作>这本书是实体出版的雅思写作书里面难得的精品。顾家北自称研究写作几十年,把他的青春都奉献给了写作教学。实际看来,他是没有说谎。这本书虽然有点老,但是里面的内容真的可以解决大部分考生的问题。语法翻译解决语法部分的评分,固定词搭配解决词汇,行文逻辑解决CC,唯一没有提的是TR。这个就靠个人领悟了。
1. 单词替换(动态图 上升rise, increase, surge, incline... 下降decrease, decline, drop)
2. 句型替换 ( A increased dramatically --> there is a significant increase of A 或者 A saw a significant increase)
3. 从句练习 (这个一说就侵权了,自己去参考范文吧)
第一段两个句子之间感觉缺乏衔接。讲观点不要用过去式 Some people held should be some people hold
少少语法错误,比如:
only those born with talents could become a master in certain fields. should be masters here
In some specific area, should be areas here
some country should be some countries
还有一个问题就是观点展开不够,感觉没有详细深入就结束了。
一点个人的小小意见,说错了请指正。

个人看法6.5,达不到7应该

There is a general debate about whether any children -- talented or not -- can be taught to achieve excellence in a particular area, for example, sport or music. In my point of view, only the person who is naturally talented could become top performers.
Talented people are more likely to be successful in the area they have advantages. Generally, talent means learning things quicker, and doing things better. Children with talents are more likely to get praised because of their quicker and better action, and praises can heighten interest which would stimulate them to be more concentrated and increase the possibility of being successful.(论证乏力)
In some specific domain, like music or sport, talent is an indispensable part of the success. The majority of the musicians showed their talents in music at their childhood, whereas the counterparts with less talent, even trained in the exact same way, had failed to be a top musician. It is also believed in some country that one should change direction if he/she doesn’t show his talent at his/her ten.(这句话不知道到想说明什么)
Some people held a view that any child could succeed in a certain field. They claimed that working hard together with well-designed study plans could educate people to be an expert, even they have no capabilities. It may be correct for some children, but not for all.(看起来是一个一边倒的观点,为什么这里要支持部分人可以成功,属于自相矛盾) Statistics tell that regardless of the lecture resources and education plans in most schools, there are always some children have failed to become a master. It is reasonable to some education experts say that this may be caused by lack of talent. (感觉还是论证不给力啊)
To summarize, mastery in specific fields could only be achieved by talented people. It is impossible for all children to be educated to become the professional in these fields. 结尾写的很绝对

没想到有这么热心的友人点评,多谢多谢!
昨天晚上很晚写的这篇,自己练习时候感觉最大的问题在于立论跳不出命题,想不出合适的论点进行展开,光构思这些论点就花了近一个小时,倒是写只花了40分钟不到。
这个结构是套用了yrqin的<step by step>里面,introductory paragraph介绍背景+引出自己的论点;supporting paragraph 正面论证两段,反面论证一段,最后一段总结。每段内尽量是一句topic sentence,接着是supporting sentence,自己感觉可能还是平时这方面思考的不多,积累的少,所以很难想到很好的论点去论证。
ecust, 谢谢你的回复,我也是走的ACS的路,261111 ICT Business Analyst 5年,你评估的263213 ICT Systems Test Engineer后面是准备州担保吗?
关于作文,我写的时候感觉就不是很好,所以觉得6.5最多了,这点跟你的看法差不多 。如果你能指出哪里值得改进,那就太感谢啦
