大部分考生在应对雅思G类作文部分常常会感觉到困难和枯燥,task1小作文写书信大家还觉得相对熟悉,日常生活中多少都会用到,但task2大作文就会犯难。有的考生会觉得题目太抽象,不知道从何下手,有的考生会觉得有思路,但不知道怎么组成完整的逻辑。

今天我们一起来看一篇典型的雅思G类大作文的议论文题型(agree/disagree)的经典范文,分析大作文的写作思路。

先看题目:

Some people think that school students need to learn practical skills such as car maintenance or bank account management along with traditional courses at school.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

我们可以发现题目由三个部分组成:背景、观点、问题。

Some people think that school students need to learn practical skills such as car maintenance or bank account management along with traditional courses at school.
 这是观点。
To what extent do you agree or disagree? 这是问题。

那么背景在哪里呢?隐藏在题干中。观察观点我们可以发现,这道题主要围绕着:school student是应该learn practical skill还是学习traditional courses展开,因此我们可以发现,这是一道以学生教育为背景的题目。

相信大家都做过雅思阅读题或者写过作文,绝大多数成熟的文章都会按照总-分-总的结构展开,因此,雅思大作文也不例外,在书写过程中也要按照:

Introduction-Body- Conclusion的结构来写

那么每个部分都应该写什么呢?我们以这篇范文为例:

范文的第一段Introduction部分,要写三句话:

1-回应题目背景

Education plays a vital role in preparing young people for their future lives.

2-回应题目中的观点

Some people argue that students should acquire practical life skills alongside conventional academic subjects.

3-回应题目中的问题,agree还是disagree

I completely agree with this view because practical skills can better prepare students for adulthood and future employment.

这三句话的目的在于告诉考官,我读懂题了,我能清晰的进行回应,而且我还能用和题干不一样的表达(paraphrase)来回应题目。

第二个部分就到了我们的body段,现在我们已经有了一个明确的观点- agree,那接下来我们就要展开,从agree的角度开始论证。

在论证中我们要遵循PEEE的原则:

Point-观点

explain-对观点的解释

example-举例证明

extend-延伸观点

在考场上,我们要快速brainstorm这个话题,多问自己“为什么”来帮助自己思考。

为什么学校应该教实用技能?

因为…在你的框架中列出你的分论点:

1-学生毕业后需要面对真实生活。

2-实用技能有助于未来就业和独立发展。

并用PEEE结构展开论证每个分论点:

1-Point

Learning practical skills helps students deal with everyday responsibilities after leaving school.

Explain

Many young people enter adulthood without basic financial knowledge or household management skills.

Example

For example, students who understand how to manage a bank account are less likely to experience financial difficulties.

Extend

As a result, they can adapt more smoothly to independent living.

2-Point

Practical skills can also improve students’ future career prospects.

Explain

Many employers value problem-solving ability and real-world competence in addition to academic knowledge.

Example

For instance, students who learn budgeting, communication and basic management skills may perform better in the workplace.

Extend

Therefore, practical education can complement traditional subjects and make students more competitive.

在body部分,除了论证自己支持的论点以外,高分作文中必不可少但就是让步段,即反方论点也一定有他的合理性,但不够好,不如你所支持的观点。

同样,在这里我们也需要PEEE结构来进行论证:

Opposing View

Some people argue that schools should focus entirely on academic subjects.

Explain

They believe that subjects such as mathematics and science are already demanding enough.

Example

Adding more practical courses could increase students’ workload.

Rebuttal

However, practical skills do not need to replace traditional subjects. Instead, they can be taught alongside them and provide students with a more balanced education.

最后conclusion部分,一个精炼的、整合的结论概括来对全篇文章进行收尾。

In conclusion, I strongly agree that practical skills should be taught in schools. Such skills help students manage daily life more effectively and better prepare them for future employment, making them a valuable addition to traditional education.

写在最后:

很多考生认为大作文最难的是写,但实际上更难的是想和清晰的逻辑表达。

当你学会拆题、找背景、确定立场,并通过不断追问“为什么”来拓展分论点时,大作文就已经完成了一半。

真正的高分作文,不是靠背模板,而是靠清晰的逻辑和完整的论证。
