雅思小作文备考:介词误用举例

 

  本文“雅思小作文备考:介词误用举例”由留学群雅思栏目整理,希望对考生有所帮助。

  一、compare与contrast的误用

  我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

  看个例句:

  It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.

  前一句翻译为:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

  后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。

  再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY的例子:

  There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West.

  The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier.

  When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast.

  不难发现,Compare 翻译为“ 与。。。相比”而contrast可译为“明显不同的是。。。”,切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

  二、介词使用错误

  1、普通介词的误用

  一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。

  2、“to”作为介词的误用

  “to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 “to do”的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:

  如:

  More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.

  这里的 ‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’ 其中 &lsq...

  Task:The graphs below show the numbers of male and female workers in 1975 and 1995 in several employment sectors of the republic of Freedonia.

  Write a report for a university teacher describing the information shown.

  参考范文:

  The two decades between 1975 and 1995 brought significant changes in the representation of women in Freedonia's work force, according to the graphs.

  In 1975, for example, some 300 000 men and 250 000 women worked in the communications sector. Twenty years later, though the number of men remained unchanged, the number of women rose to 550 000.

  A similar situation was seen in the wholesale and retail trade sector, where the number of women rose from about 550 000 in 1975 to almost 800 000 two decades later. The number of men in this sector remained stable over the period, at around 700 000.

  Women also made gains in both the finance/banking industries and in the defence-related public sector. Whereas some 125 000 women worked in finance and banking institutions in 1975, the number increased to 450 000 by 1995. The number of men grew only marginally from 425 000 to 480 000 over the same period. In defence, the number of men declined from 225 000 to 200 000, while the number of women rose from 25 000 to over 100 000.

  Two sectors that retained stable e...

  Task:The chart below gives information about global sales of games software, CDs and DVD or video.

  Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information.

  参考范文:

  The chart shows the changes in the sales of video material / DVDs, games software and CDs around the world in billions of dollars over a three-year period. It can be seen that the sales of videos / DVDs and games software have increased, while the sales of CDs have gone down slightly.

  Between 2000 and 2003, the sale of videos and DVDs rose by approximately 13 billion dollars. In 2000, just under 20 billion dollars worth of these items were sold, but in 2003, this figure had risen to a little over 30 billion dollars.

  The sales of games software also rose during this period, but less sharply. Sales increased from about 13 billion dollars in 2000 to just under 20 billion dollars three years later. By contrast, during the same time period, the sale of CDs fell from 35 billion dollars in 2000 to about 32.5 billion dollars in 2003.

2016雅思小作文评分标准解读

 

  下面是留学群小编为大家收集整理的雅思小作文的评分标准以及解析,和小编一起来看看专家怎么说吧!

  对于许多有留学、海外就职或移民需求的人来说,雅思考试是必须通过的一道关卡。写作是雅思考生普遍失分较多的一个部分,雅思写作由时长20分钟的客观描述性小作文和时长40分钟的主观议论性大作文组成,其中小作文占到雅思写作总成绩的1/3。小作文部分要求考生针对数据类的线形图、饼状图、柱形图、表格或非数据类的流程图、地图进行描述,写作的内容比较客观,因此有一定的技巧可寻。但是由于雅思考试与中国传统考试在考查方式上的差异,以及考生及培训教师对于评分标准的误解,很多考生准备了很久甚至多次参加考试都没能拿到满意的写作分数。本文就针对雅思考试的小作文部分,从雅思官方的评分标准入手,向考生展示一个客观、明确的评分标准,分析中国考生主要存在的问题,并就如何备考雅思小作文提出建议。

  官方评分标准解析

  在配套剑桥雅思真题集的《剑桥雅思考试全真试题解析》第九册的引言部分,考生可以看到关于雅思小作文(Task 1)的介绍:“Task 1 requires candidates to look at a diagram or some data (graph, table or chart) and to present the information in their own words. They are assessed on their ability to organize, present and possibly compare data, describe the stages of a process, describe an object or event, or explain how something works.”由此可见,小作文部分要求考生观察示意图或一些数据(曲线图、表格、图表),并用自己的语言来描述信息。这个部分考查的是考生的组织能力、呈现和比较数据的能力、描述步骤的能力、描述一个物体或事件的能力,或是解释某事是如何运作的能力。

  需要说明的一点是,很多考生甚至是一些培训机构的授课老师都对剑桥真题系列书中的考官范文有一些误解。他们认为只要是考官范文就是最正确的写法,于是一味地进行模仿和背诵,而没有灵活利用其中的核心内容,最后导致的结果是考生写出的文章带有明显的模板痕迹,并因此失分。事实上,这些由考官撰写的范文只是众多可能答案中的一种,并不是唯一标准的答案。考生可以将其作为参考,而真正要取得高分,还是要以雅思小作文的评分标准为参照。

  雅思写作小作文的评分标准包括以下四条,下面来了解每一条标准的具体内容。

  1. Task Achievement (任务完成)

  根据雅思考试写作的评分标准,小作文9分(满分)对于任务完成的要求是“fully satisfies all the requirements of the task; clearly presents a fully developed response”,即“完全满足题目的所有要求;对于题目的回应清晰而完整”。此外,由于7分是现在许多考生申请出国时要求达到的写作成绩,因此有必要再了解一下小作文7分的要求:“covers the requirements...

2016雅思小作文写作技巧解析

 

  以下是留学群小编为大家带来的最全面的雅思小作文备考攻略,烤鸭们如果对于雅思小作文的备考感觉不知道从何处下手的话,可以来参考一下。

  小作文一般都是图表作文,常见的几种主要类型有:表格图,曲线图,柱状图,饼状图和图画题五大类。一般来说,柱图和线图是每月常考的题型,有时候会有连考或者交替考的趋势。饼图和表格题也是相对频率较高的题型。偶尔也会考综合题。图画题主要分为流程图和地图题,一般每季度轮换题库的时候会出现。不管考到哪种题型,其要求都是一致的,先要挑选重要数值并且在相关处作比较。

  在雅思A类小作文图表题的写作当中,考生经常会碰到图表看懂了,但因数据比较凌乱,找不出很明显的特征,或者找到了很多特征,却不知道应该用什么样的思路来把图表当中的重要信息和规律特征有机自然的联系贯穿起来的情况。小编将从动态图表和静态图表的角度来详细分析小作文的解题思路。

  一、动态图

  有时间推移变化的图我们通常叫做动态图。曲线图都是动态图,但是对于表格图,饼图和柱图却有动态和静态之分。对于大多数的动态图我们都可以大致当作线图来处理。动态图重点在数字变化的表达上,利用主语句型的不同和衔接关联词来展开。写好动态图的基础是要准备好三个方面:

  1. 解题思路

  1). 表格题的动态题解题思路大致可以分为四步:①先相减(年份大的减小的); ②后分类(上升一类,下降一类); ③挑出极值(最大值); ④挑选数值(倍数关系,变化明显的数值);

  2). 线图的解题思路大致分为两种:

  第一种:①按整条线来写(可以把相同趋势的线放在一起,也可把相反趋势的线拿来做对比); ②挑选重要信息(整体趋势,起点,重点,最高点,最低点); ③整体作比较。

  第二种:①按时间区间来写(横轴对上去有共同拐点或交点的分为一段); ②对比着写(强调交点,拐点,最高点,最低点);

  3). 动态柱图解题思路:把各个柱子的顶点连起来就是几条线,所以按线图方式处理;

  4). 动态饼图解题思路:把每种颜色看做一条线,可把相同相反的颜色放在一起写,很多时候也可以把占的比例最大的单独写一部分。

  2. 基础替换词汇

  1). 趋势词汇

  上升动词类:increase, rise, grow, jump, surge, shoot up, soar

  下降动词类:decrease, decline, fall down, drop, sink, dip

  波动动词类:fluctuate

  持平动词类:remain the same, stabilize, remain stable, remain constant

  修饰动词的副词:slightly 轻微地,slowly 缓慢地,gradually 逐渐地,steadily 稳定地,rapidly 迅速地,moderately 温和地,轻微地,significantly 明显地,sharply 明显地,dramatically 急剧地,drastically 急剧地

  上升名词类:increase, rise, growth, jump, surge

  下降名词类:d...
