雅思写作之正反论证
近期,大学申请的“重要阶段”虽然暂时告一段落,但仍有不少需要刷分、争取PR身份的“烤鸭”,需要和环雅的老师们一起奋战在“屠鸭”的第一线。然而,无论是A类或是G类的考生,都始终认为口语和写作两项语言输出性环节是自己的薄弱环节,缺乏训练度。在Woody老师的课上,也经常遇见学员表示表示“课堂有限的学习时间,无法阻挡我们那悸动而又颗渴望和求知的心”,意思就是,课上讲的东西,有些还是不好消化。因此,Woody决定结合我们课堂的具体内容,继续帮助大家进行实例分析。
今天,Woody选取的是我们写作课堂中最基本、最常见,还是北美地区第一季度出题比率最高的,很有可能继续延续下去的“Agree/Disagree”类写作题目:
When we are planning a new town, it is more important to include public parks and sports facilities than shopping centres for individuals to spend their free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Step 1 Question Analysis
题目翻译:规划城市建设时,建设公园和运动设施比购物中心更加重要。你同意不同意?
Writing Task: public garden constriction 大于 sports facilities
Lexical Resource 题目替换词/表达:
important – vital, crucial, significant, be of importance |
public parks – outdoor space |
sports facilities – places for health and fitness activities, community facilities |
shopping centres – shopping complex, shopping precinct, commercial areas |
Tip: 题目分析:单一观点类题目,涉及两个方面的比较,所以在陈述立场时,两方面都要涉及,否则会偏题影响任务回应得分。
Step 2 Brainstorming & Outline
思路分析
parks and sports facilities | 公园可以提供绿地,干净空气,美化城市;具备教育意义,开放式课堂(offering green space and fresh air for people ; landscapes; can also be used as open-air classrooms and laboratories for school children);有利于打造适宜居住的社区,为居民提供社交/放松的场所(liveable and social community);使居民接触到不同种类的运动,有利于培养运动习惯(provide exposure to wide range of sports, cultivate the habit of doing sports) |
shopping centres | 购物中心满足市民的基本需求,提供便利;对周边经济也有促进作用(provide job opportunities, related industries) |
准备工作和思维拓展完成之后,咱们废话少说,下笔 ...
Step 3 Writing up
Sample Writing:
The notion of planning before the construction of a city is not restricted to the ancient but also popular in modern times. It is suggested that public outdoor space and other community facilities should be given more emphasis than shopping precinct. Personally, although establishing shopping areas is valuable, I would argue that it is the public areas and facilities should be given the priority.
It is quite understandable that shopping malls are of a degree of importance in the master plan of a city. It is because shopping is a necessity for residents, which means that the location should be considered carefully. With more shopping complex constructed in urban areas, people could save travelling time, meet basic daily needs and gain time to be entertained. Another benefit of commercial areas probably is its contribution to local economy. A typical example could be Westfield Mall in London, which possesses arrays of stores and brands, not only providing a popular place for people to go on weekends but also offering more job vacancies.
However, I argue that public outdoor space and facilities are of higher value. For one thing, parks provide a pleasant and sociable place to live. Green space and fresh air can be created for people to experience the nature and escape from cold concrete buildings and exhaust fumes. Parks can also be used as open-air classrooms and laboratories for school children, and as social areas for resident to spend time communicating, enabling inhabitants to be more familiar with neighbours and contributing a sense of community. For another, sports facilities, such as ball fields, basketball and tennis courts, supply exposure to and opportunities to a wide range of physical activities. For citizens, particularly people of low income, affordable and accessible sports facilities might be an introduction to organized sports and cultivate the habit of doing sports or exercises.
In conclusion, while to a certain extent I understand the demand for commercial areas when planning a town, I claim that parks and places for health and fitness activities are of more importance.
