Hi, everyone. I'm Jade. What we're talking about today is writing paragraphs,
大家好，我叫 Jade，今天我們要討論的是寫作，
and I'm going to give you a structure you can use in the IELTS writing paper, in the discursive essay section.
我會給你們一個可以用在雅思考試寫作部分的作文結構，尤其適用于議論文部分。
And you can also use what I'm teaching you today in the CAE exam,
你們也可以把我今天教的內容用在CAE考試中，
but also more generally in discursive essays because people who don't have much experience of writing essays,
還有其他的議論性文章中，因為那些寫作經驗不是很豐富的人，
or plus writing essays in English, can often lose control of the essay, because they're not really writing with a structure in mind.
或者不是很擅長用英語寫作的人，在寫作文的時候經常跑題，這主要是因為他們下筆的時候腦子里沒有一個作文的整體結構。
And when that happens, you just start talking about something else that's not even related to the question.
當這種情況發生的時候，你們會開始寫一些甚至跟題目一點關系都沒有的內容。
So you don't actually get very good marks when you write an essay that's not about the question, did you know that?
如果你們寫出來的作文不切題的話，基本上是得不到很高的分數的。你們知道這一點吧？
Well, anyway, it happens sometimes.
反正，這種情況時有發生。
So this structure is very fixed, and it's repetitive.
這個結構非常固定，可以反復使用。
So you would follow the structure in your first paragraph.
你們要做的就是用這個結構寫出第一段。
And then, you'd do three or four similar ones.
然后再寫出相似的三四段。
It's fixed for a reason, to keep your essay under control, to keep you answering the question.
這個結構之所以是固定的，就是為了保持你們的作文在控制范圍內，避免跑題。
So let's have a look at a typical IELTS kind of question.
那么，我們就來看一個典型的雅思考試中的作文題目吧。
"These days, many students decide to attend university in a foreign country.
"近來，許多學生都選擇去國外讀大學。
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of attending university in a foreign country."
請討論一下在外國讀大學的好處與壞處。"
So first, what we need to do is we need to make a little plan.
我們要做的第一件事就是要列出一個簡單的大綱。
And...I know the advantages and disadvantages based on my personal experience because I was lucky enough to study in a foreign country when I was a student.
然后......根據我的個人經驗，我很清楚這些利弊，因為我讀書的時候很幸運地去了國外學習。
So...yeah. I spent a year in Amsterdam.
我在阿姆斯特丹留學了一年。
So what were the pros? Make friends from other countries. "Make friends, other countries."
那么好處都有哪些呢？可以交到來自其他國家的朋友。"交友，別國"。
I'm not going to...actually, I'm just going to write a shortened version because it doesn't fit here.
我不會......說實話，我就直接寫個簡單的形式好了，因為這里寫不下。
