1) 開頭:

劍四Test1Reading passage1: “Adults and children are frequently confronted with statements about the alarming rate of loss of tropical rainforests.”

這是一個很好的聯(lián)系實際的開頭模式,“be confronted with”這一詞組可以應(yīng)用于很多主題,當下的熱點問題如犯罪、環(huán)境、教育、工作甚至科技所帶來的變化等,如:

“Modern people are confronted with drastic changes brought about by high technology …”

再如劍六G類Section A Reading passage 3的開頭:“Per capita water usage has been on an upward trend for many years.” 可以用來代替在學(xué)生中過于“流行”的一種開頭模式“more and more…”,如:

“The number of people who choose distance-learning has been on an upward trend…”

由于閱讀文章和寫作文章有許多相似的背景和主題,在思路枯竭時,不妨學(xué)習(xí)一下閱讀文章盡快切入主題。

2) 主體部分

閱讀文章在提及同一意思時,常會用同義詞來表達,這點很值得考生學(xué)習(xí),如提及環(huán)境脆弱時,會用到“fragile, vulnerable”等不同的詞語進行說明,以下是對于一些閱讀中常見同義詞的總結(jié),這些都可以在寫作中有所運用:

incorporate… into… / integrate… with…/ combine … with… 將……與……結(jié)合

consistent with/ comply with/ in accordance with/ correspond with/ conform to/compatible with 與……一致,相符

comprise/ include/ involve/ consist of 包括

trigger/ ignite/ give birth to/breed 產(chǎn)生

cope with/ tackle/ combat/ address 解決

object to/ disapprove/ oppose 反對

independent of/ regardless of/ free from 不管,不受……干擾

ascribe … to…/ attribute… to…/blame…on/for? 把……歸咎于……

當然這只是眾多同義替換詞中很少的一部分,考生可以在閱讀文章及做題時留心這些單詞,并予以模仿,更好地滿足寫作的需要。

3) 結(jié)尾部分

文章進行到這里,許多學(xué)生自覺捉襟見肘,江郎才盡,難以下筆,閱讀文章再次給了我們一些新的思路和啟示。

如09.7.23的一道寫作題目“Many people are optimistic about the 21st century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes to the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their optimism? What changes would you like to see in the new century?”

巧合的是,劍五Test 1 Reading Passage 3 的結(jié)尾與這道題目契合度很高,“It is crucial that we look at the facts if we want to make the best possible solutions for the future. It may be costly to be overly optimistic – but more costly still to be too pessimistic.”

曾有學(xué)生回憶自己寫作高分心得時提到有些觀點和句式都是來自于雅思閱讀文章,而且在模仿過程中,自己的文章也越來越地道;另外寫作的構(gòu)思和對句法的把握,也有利于對閱讀文章的理解。
