一、 前言
在上篇文章中,我們分析了對單邊結構文章做淡化模板痕跡處理的方法。在這篇文章中,雅思專家將著重分析如何消除雙邊結構的模板痕跡。眾所周知,雙邊結構主要有兩個方面的特征:考題文字中的觀點雙向和考生對觀點支持角度的雙邊討論,但最好不要模棱兩可,應該有明確的單一指向性的觀點傾向。
同樣地,對于判斷作文的結構類型,應該不是大的問題,我們關心的是,考生太過依賴所謂的模板,而使得文章沒有靈活度,否則,期望通過所謂捷徑來快速取得理想的分數往往會適得其反。
本文中,雅思專家將主要通過分析雙邊結構類型作文中比較常見的話題,為考生分析如何淡化寫作中的模板痕跡,使文章更為靈活。
二、 分析
真題鏈接:In some countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
以上是劍橋中的考試真題,相信大家都已經非常熟悉了。我們就一起結合此題,對雙邊結構的整體文章結構和遣詞造句做一個簡單的對比。
1. 引言段
引言段是通篇作文的開篇之作,對于它的寫法多種多樣。但是無論怎樣書寫,切忌出現以下模式性的語句樣式:
模板語言:
Nowadays, the discussion about ……is a very controversial one. Those who criticize……. argue that……, but people who advocate……, on the other hand, maintain that……
這樣的模板相信大家不會陌生,它曾經受到無數考生的青睞。但是我們說過,這樣過于機械的語言,很難體現出考生對考題文字的理解,更為糟糕的是,你的開頭有可能和無數人是重復的!
下面我們就做一個簡單的對比:
非模板語言:
No matter in which country, children are, without any exception, regarded as the protected in society, not to mention making them involved in any forms of paid-work(調用背景知識,引出話題).The necessity of allowing them to make money with their own hands is indeed worth discussing(結合對考題文字的統一轉換,自然流露雙邊討論傾向)
2. 主體段
模板語言:
1. The benefits of…… can be perceived in many aspects.
In the first place, 分論點一. For instance, 例證 / 語言論證。In the second place, 分論點二. 論證.
2. However, ……has also given rise to a lot of problems.
For one thing,……For another……, Finally,……
在傳統的模板里,雙邊結構的主體段只是簡單地分段論證兩方面的觀點,雖然將兩種對立觀點展現的非常清晰,但是也難免落入模式化的俗套。
做一個簡單的對比:
非模板語言:
a. 讓步分析
Admittedly, hardship and bitterness of life could drive people to become mature. Under working pressure, children think about finishing their tasks before the deadline instead of concerning how to kill their seemingly limitless free time. Work may be the only priority of their life. It is fairly different between taking a dollar from their parents and earning one by themselves. Only the tough reality can force them to get rid of selfishness and dependence on their parents, which is exactly one of the most urgently needed cures in parental education.
雙邊結構的一個重要特點就是雙邊論證兩種觀點,在這篇文章里可以先讓步論證一個觀點,這樣可以為后一個觀點的論證提供很好的對比。
