在雅思写作备考中,其实除了买参考书外,大家也可以借鉴雅思阅读中的文章的思路以及风格,因为阅读中所选的文章都比较正式,用词、句法也都十分严谨,很符合雅思写作的标准。而在雅思阅读中,在用词上最大的特色,也是最值得考生借鉴的就是同义转换。下面我们就为考生详细解析雅思写作突破点:同义转换,希望对大家的雅思写作提高有帮助。
为了深刻体会写作中的同义转换的重要性和必要性,首先我们来看一下雅思阅读的文章中是如何运用同义转换来丰富写作的词汇的。下面是一篇雅思阅读原文的节选:
The purpose of our study is toconsider several methodological issues relevant to study of the monetarytransmission process. These issues involve relative emphasis on monetary shocksas opposed to systematic policy adjustments; vector auto regression vs.Structural modeling research strategies...
文章中的as opposed to等同于vs.(versus的缩写形式),为了避免重复,同时丰富词汇,作者巧妙的运用了同义表达的技巧,而这正是我们可以借鉴在雅思写作中的。 实际上在雅思考官范文中,也有大量的同义替换现象,下面再来看一个典型的雅思作文片段:
Firstly, modern people suffer from greater tension so that they have less time to communicate with each other. More and more people are living in urban areas, where life has a quick rhythm. Due to fierce competition, city dwellers have to be hard-working in order to keep up with the pace of city life. Everybody is busy all the time and the other increasing pressures at work deprive us of acasual way of life. Moreover, living in apartments in isolated blocks, we are becoming more and more removed from each other. And more often than not, it is no longer convenient for us to meet one anther freely.
解析:tensions表达了和pressures完全相同的意思,但是这样写不会显得单调重复;划线部分也是一种巧妙的同义改写形式:have less time to communicate with each other意思就是becoming more and more removed from each other,但是用了同义转换立即给文章增添了色彩!
可见,同义转换在雅思写作中的应用不仅使文章的词汇不显得单调,还可以丰富文章的句型。所以在写作练习中,大家要多尝试这种方法。下面以具体的写作题目为例,为大家分析如何实际应用这种方法。
题目:The appearance of cars has causedmany social problems. What is your opinion?
正文:...I believe cars have indeed caused many problems in society and we need to reduce the use of cars.
First of all, we must consider the severe traffic caused by cars...
Another consideration is that cars generate serious pollution...
Admittedly, cars facilitate our travel and make people’s daily commute much easier than before. However, the adverse effects of cars significantly out weigh the benefits they bring.
文章中的第二段和第三段都是在阐述观点,这两段在开头的**句都直接陈述了观点,但是所使用的句型并不同,这里的动词consider与名词词组another consideration的交换使用显得作者写作技巧成熟,也使得文章不单调重复。
总之,在雅思写作中,一定要学会并能灵活运用这种百试不爽的“同义转换”技巧。这和说话技巧是一样的,在现实生活中,相信也没有人愿意和一个说话总是重复一种老套模式的人交谈。从这个角度想,大家就能明白为什么利用“同义转换”的表达方法,雅思考官会给一个好分数了。
以上就是对雅思写作突破点:同义转换的介绍,希望对大家的雅思写作水平提高有帮助。在写作练习中,对于学习的方法和技巧大家一定要加以运用,这样才能熟练掌握。最后,预祝大家在雅思考试中取得满意的成绩。
