Okay, another way to score high on both the TOEFL and the IELTS,
現在我要講在托福和雅思考試中取得高分的另一個方法,
this has to do with both the written section and the speaking section, is to show contrast with other people's opinions.
這個方法與寫作部分和口語部分都有關系,那就是顯示出與他人觀點的對比。
Okay? So instead of just saying: "I think that this is good because...", "I think that is horrible because..."
不要只是說"I think that this is good because...", "I think that is horrible because..."
A better thing to do is contrast your opinion with other people's opinions who you disagree with.
更好的做法是讓你的觀點和你不贊同的其他人的觀點形成對比。
So you may say something like: "Some people may disagree with me, but as far as I'm concerned...as far as I'm concerned..."
你們可以這么說:"Some people may disagree with me, but as far as I'm concerned..."(一些人也許不贊同我的觀點,但是我認為......)
What's a good example? "Travelling by car is better than travelling by airplane." Okay?
有什么好例子呢?比如:"Travelling by car is better than travelling by airplane." (坐汽車旅行好過乘飛機。)
And when you contrast, words that they'll be looking for that will help boost your mark: "although", "even though".
進行對比時,考官會找的能夠幫助提高你們分數的詞是"although","even though"。
So these are contrast words that can really help you in writing.
這些表示對比的單詞在寫作中能夠真正幫到你們。
So you could say: "Although some people may disagree with me," you get rid of the "but" if you use one of these two words.
你們可以說:"Although some people may disagree with me,"(雖然有些人可能不同意我的觀點,)使用這兩個單詞中的任何一個都要注意把下一句的"but"去掉。
"Although some people may disagree with me, as far as I'm concerned, watching Lord of the Rings all three episodes back-to-back is a bad idea."
比如:"Although some people may disagree with me, as far as I'm concerned, watching Lord of the Rings all three episodes back-to-back is a bad idea."(雖然有些人可能不同意我的觀點,但我認為一口氣把《指環王》三部全看完不是個好主意。)
"Even though some people may think that making a lot of money is great, I think that there are other important things to life."
"Even though some people may think that making a lot of money is great, I think that there are other important things to life."(雖然有些人可能認為掙很多錢非常棒,但我認為生活中還有其他更重要的事情。)
So these are just various opinions, they ask you all sorts of different things on the IELTS and the TOEFL.
這只是一些不同的觀點,在雅思和托??荚囍袝柛鞣N不同的事情。
But if you can use "although", "even though", and it's two parts,
但是如果你們能使用"although", "even though",要記住這總共有兩個部分,
so the first part is what other people think, comma, if you're writing this,
第一個部分是別人的想法,如果是書面的,請在這部分后寫上逗號,
and then you have an opinion expression: "as far as I'm concerned...", "in my opinion...", "I believe..." and then you say what you think.
然后在第二部分用一個表達觀點的短語:"as far as I'm concerned...", "in my opinion...", "I believe...",接著闡述你們自己的觀點。
