4號在澳洲考了雅思,作文,從小學(xué)起就是我的天敵,這次終于拿到了7分,先說下感想,同時感謝51雅思網(wǎng),在壇子里泡了很長時間,學(xué)到到了很多知識。
我09年1月在國內(nèi)參加過一次,知道作文一直是軟肋,考前特意看了些要領(lǐng),比如怎么分段,詞句要有亮點、復(fù)雜之類的。考得時候當(dāng)時感覺不錯,自認(rèn)為用了很多復(fù)雜的詞匯和長句,后來成績下來總分7,而作文只有5.5,差點掀桌子。在澳洲留學(xué)了3年多,就考到這點分?jǐn)?shù),還是在家長面前,很是慚愧。
回澳洲后,我拿了一篇文章給一個普通的英語老師(非雅思)看,發(fā)現(xiàn)他給我的建議是:
1 句子要短
2 詞語、語法要簡單
3 不出錯的情況下,盡量不用重復(fù)的詞。
他說,如果你的英語還沒好到不出語法和拼寫錯誤,那么就要盡量撿你最有把握的用。只要你能把觀點表述清楚,流暢,沒有錯誤,那么考官就找不到扣分的理由。這番話對我如醍醐灌頂,其實看看平時報紙上的文章,用的常常都是再普通不過的詞句和結(jié)構(gòu),句式縱然多樣,也沒有太過亢長復(fù)雜的。總之一句話,要回歸自然,且最大限度減少錯誤。
這次考試前兩個星期,我大概做了十幾篇練習(xí),每次都是找個新題,即使不熟悉的topic也不去找資料,逼自己能想到什么就寫什么,畢竟考試時再偏的題也得硬寫嘛。我覺得這個由思考到寫的過程是最重要的,把觀點轉(zhuǎn)化成語句的同時,自己的寫作習(xí)慣也熟練起來,速度也會逐漸提高。我寫完也沒有特別去背,但是每一篇都拿去給老師檢查,把犯的語法錯誤和錯別字都記下來,這樣慢慢的,自己熟悉常用的句式就很少再出錯了。另外我認(rèn)為觀點是否合邏輯很重要,不合邏輯說明英語表達能力有問題。寫前先想好重點的arguements都是什么,不能吝嗇這幾分鐘,這樣才能保議論的有效、多面和完整的結(jié)構(gòu)。辯論中舉例子也很重要,我是寫不出大段的理論的,但是兩句理論解釋下觀點,再舉個例子,能想到的話再總結(jié)一句,60-70字的一段就出來了。
把我4號的作文發(fā)上來吧,考完后重寫的,意思結(jié)構(gòu)都差不多,具體肯定有出入(其實是我自己的記憶太差),不過肯定不會比考場上的還爛,畢竟時間太有限,而且我感覺當(dāng)時字?jǐn)?shù)只有230左右,盡管我的手寫字比較大。
我想我的練習(xí)還是不太夠的,時間很緊,小作文也沒來及練,成績在眾多高手面前不值一提,只是作為自己短期有效提高分?jǐn)?shù)的經(jīng)驗,供大家討論吧。
PS我想確定一下,A類的考試也可以用作澳洲移民評分的吧?
Should government spend on non-scientific research?
There has always been a debate on government spending in various research areas. Someone suggests that comparing to non-scientific research, only scientific research contributing to the development of modern society is worth investing. I can not disagree more with it.
It’s true that scientific research, in areas such as physics and technology, has greatly improved our quality of life. However, given the ultimate goal of building an ideal society, one shall not overlook the importance of non-scientific research. Studies in philosophy and history for example, can help us to explore our moral world, learn from past experience and find implications on how a society may function better. Politics for example, is always a fight between different thoughts and opinions as there is no determined right or wrong.
One may argue that if there are no hard facts to prove any theories, non-scientific research is meaningless. However, the entire value judgment system guiding us of what we should do, is essentially non-scientific and illogical, reflecting a consentience by common members at large(這句考試時沒有,重寫時才想到的,算作弊啦可以無視). In other word, there are questions with no correct answers and can not be proved by scientific research. For instance, study into climate change can identify possible outcomes of human activities to the environment, yet whether we should adopt expensive environment protection schemes, compromising current benefit to future generations, is subject to research in ethics and sociology.
Overall speaking, scientific research provides us a pathway to social development, where non-scientific research serves as the necessary guidance. Both of them are crucial for a country in achieving an ideal society.
