雅思写作动笔前5分钟思考的重要性
在开始你的雅思写作之前,一定抑制住自己迫切动笔着急忙着写完作文的心。我知道时间宝贵,所以你打算边写边构思,可是这真的是一条雅思写作的不归路,因为匆忙之中的动笔,往往造成无可挽回的错误,这错误可能是审题,可能是观点,可能是论证方法。所以,请停下脚步,用宝贵的5分钟想一想想一想。
雅思写作动笔前5分钟思考的重要性
有效的写作来自于有效的思考
你写的和你想的必须是一样的,而不是写前想一想,提笔又是另一篇——只是简单的规划思路是不够的 最好是写之前想好,而不是写完了再来想——雅思考试真的没时间打几遍草稿 什么时候想?每段开头和每句开头——句子是你作文的关键组成部分 怎么想?定向思维——最好列个清单,这样会很有帮助的。
解释一下为什么要在”Thinking”上花时间(而不是草草动笔)—–表面上看起来这样做会“浪费”一些时间,因为大多数人的想法是:快些写啊写啊!想啥啊! 但是当你想完了以后,你会发现你写的更有效(more efficiently)–也就是说,废话少了,不仅写完了,而且还写好了(这就不仅仅是写完一篇作文,而是写好一篇作文) 来看看具体怎么做吧!
清晰的思维使你更好的写作
其实道理很简单,你雅思作文一半的得分都来自 Task Response (是否切题,还是写跑题了)与Coherence and Cohesion(文章连贯性,是不是上句不接下句,还是很有层次,有顺序)。这两个评分标准跟你使用的语言(单词,词组,语法)都没什么关系,但是跟你的行文思路(thought)和文章结构(organisation)直接相关。换句话说,你全文语法(grammar)全对,词汇(vocab)用的都非常漂亮,你也就能得5分。要拿那另外的分,就得有思考的技能。
脑子里的规划是不够的
在考场上再去想你要写什么基本是没什么卵用的。就算你现想出文章的结构,所使用的词汇还有思路,你还是不知道怎么把它们拼凑到一起去。并且几乎就没什么学生可以在考场上的那一点点时间就可以规划出以上所提的这些。原因是什么?因为你觉得想这些东西是在浪费时间。 大错特错。你的写作规划不是完整的答案,你可以边写边完善。 你的结构/思路/词汇全都需要你的规划(Plan)来组织。
别老是打草稿,想好了再写 如果你没办法在40分钟内写完雅思作文那大部分都是因为你老是写错,各种错(语法错了啊,单词不会拼啦,反复表达一个意思又重写句子啦等等)耽误了你的时间。要避免这个问题就一定要想好了再写。想想应该怎么说最好。如果你以前写作一些学术类的文章,你就应该知道,最好是把你一遍遍打草稿的时间拿来想想到底该怎么写。
写每一段之前,想一想
学生写作文的时候,写着写着就停笔了,他不知道怎么写下去了!别笑,我们大家都经常犯这样的错误。为什么?因为句子与句子之间都没什么联系。(没有连贯性)。 你得有一个完整的思路。必须把整个思路想清楚了再动笔,别小看这个小技巧,你试试,写作立马不一样了!(而不是边写边想)
想你所想
OK,我们知道动笔前要想了,那“想”些什么呢?这取决于你的经验,你的学历等等。不要怕观点不对,说你自己心里想的,说实话就行了。
检查清单
段落
思路/语言 我的语言和思路够写一篇完整的文章吗? 这段话的中心思想是什么?我能写一句话吗?
文章结构
在我的文章里有中心思想吗? 这一段跟其他段有什么联系?
连贯性/结构
这段话在整个文章结构里是什么? 对于这个意思的表达,我需要解释原因或举例吗? 这段话要写几句?
句子连贯性
我打算用这几个句子说明个什么问题?在脑子里能把它说出来吗? 这个句子是主要想法吗?还是一个例子?一个解释?或者别的? 这个句子跟上个句子有联系吗?需要用连接词吗?可以用别的方式去连接吗?
语法
你确定语法都正确吗?如果不确定的话,能不能换个说法(不至可能出现语法错误?) 语法是不是太简单了?(只有陈述句)还是太重复了?(老是定语从句)
词汇
准确使用词汇了吗? 我需要使用上面句子的词汇吗(还是要换一个)?我使用了同义词吗? 这段话是书面体吗(而不是口头语)?
方法总结:或许,摆了这么思考项,有人已经看不下去了:你倒是让我60分钟写一篇文章,还是让我想一篇文章啊。讲了这么多,其实是想告诉大家,做任何事情,都是讲方法论的,雅思写作自然如此。诚然你可以激情灵感迸发地边写边思考,让灵动的思绪带领你的文章的肆意前行。可是,这种方式是很危险的,是难以复制的,你状态好时,可能发飙写出高分作文,可你状态不好时,有可能让你写出一篇偏题的,观点孱弱的,结构混乱的垃圾文章。上面讲的这个5分钟审题,其实就是为了一步步告诉你一个安全保险的捷径写作方法,前期的麻烦是会了给你以后减少麻烦。在刚开始操练时,很耗时,可只要熟练之后,它就会带来你整个写作过程的高效。你的框架,你的观点,你的主要论据已经提前构思好。那么无论如何,你不会偏题,你的字数不会缺,你的观点论证过程够饱满。这几点加起来就是一个7分的作文了。
