雅思大作文開頭分析

　　很多考生拿到大作文考題都不知道如何動(dòng)筆去寫開頭段，有的會(huì)把題目原封不動(dòng)抄下來(lái)，但如果這樣做，在統(tǒng)計(jì)作文字?jǐn)?shù)時(shí)，第一段就不被統(tǒng)計(jì)在內(nèi)了。實(shí)際上，大作文的第一段是情景鋪墊，專家建議考生在這一段要點(diǎn)明這篇文章要討論/解決什么問(wèn)題及問(wèn)題的背景。作文的首段通常包含以下幾個(gè)方面：

　　1) 場(chǎng)景或背景信息，即題目中出現(xiàn)的phenomenon.

　　2) 一些人的觀點(diǎn)(some people’s opinion),這部分在改寫文章首段時(shí)可要可不要，考生可按照自己的情況來(lái)安排。

　　3) 個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，這一部分在有些文章的開頭首段中也可以不要。

　　大作文要求字?jǐn)?shù)至少達(dá)到250字，在寫作中考慮到字?jǐn)?shù)的合理安排，第一段最好寫3-5句話，大約40字左右，并且切忌在第一段就掏心掏肺把什么話都說(shuō)完。因此總結(jié)出大作文開頭的方式通常有以下幾種情況：

　　1) 題目中包含了背景信息(phenomenon),有時(shí)也出現(xiàn)一些人的觀點(diǎn)，并且題目中字?jǐn)?shù)較多。這種情況下最保險(xiǎn)的辦法是將題目中的背景信息及一些人的觀點(diǎn)重新表達(dá)(paraphrase),可以做：

　　主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)換成被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)

　　主謂賓換成主系表

　　某些近義詞互換

　　Example:

　　At present,it is hard for college students to find jobs.Many people claim that college teachers should give priority to practical courses like computer science and business over such traditional ones as history and geography.To what extent do you agree?

　　_____轉(zhuǎn)換成

　　The number of college graduates is surging while a substantial proportion of them have difficulties in finding employment after their graduation.Numerous people blame this on the university education and believe that more emphasis should be laid on practical courses such as computer science and business than on traditional courses like history and geography.其后再加考生自己的觀點(diǎn)即可。

　　2) 題目中包含了背景信息，有時(shí)出現(xiàn)一些人的觀點(diǎn)，但題目中字?jǐn)?shù)較少，若直接重新表達(dá)，字?jǐn)?shù)湊不到40字左右。這種情況下，推薦以下兩種開頭方式來(lái)保證字?jǐn)?shù)：

　　把籠統(tǒng)信息細(xì)節(jié)化即通過(guò)舉例來(lái)解釋說(shuō)明題目中的背景信息。

　　Example:

　　International tourism has become a big industry in the world.Do the benefits outweigh the problems?

　　轉(zhuǎn)換為

　　The acceleration of globalization and high-tech development contributes to International tourism’s gaining momentum virtually all over the world.Each year,millions of tourists from other countries swarm into China to appreciate the scenery and Chinese traditional culture.其后加入考生個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)即可。

　　追溯歷史，過(guò)去與現(xiàn)在形成對(duì)比。

　　Example:

　　International tourism has become a big industry in the world.Do the benefits outweigh the problems?

　　轉(zhuǎn)換為

　　Prior to the early 1900s,the proportion of people traveling abroad was considerably low and the majority of them preferred domestic travel.However,the advent of the motorized flight has greatly changed our life and it makes international traveling more convenient.International tourism is gaining momentum and has become a big industry.其后加入考生個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)即可。

　　3) 題目中僅出現(xiàn)一部分人的觀點(diǎn)，而沒(méi)有背景信息。這種情況下，我們可以根據(jù)這部分人的觀點(diǎn)所涉及的信息在開頭段附加對(duì)背景信息的描述。

　　Example:

　　The best way to solve the world’s environmental problem is to increase the price of fuel.Do you agree or disagree?

　　轉(zhuǎn)換為

　　In the process of industrialization and urbanization,the scope of environmental problem facing the world is getting immense.From Mexico City and New York to Singapore and China new solutions to this problem are being proposed,tried and implemented.Some people believe increasing the price of fuel is the best approach to this problem.其后加入考生個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)即可。

　　另外，要提醒考生注意的是開頭段一定要避免出現(xiàn)語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，因?yàn)槿绻Z(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤影響文章的理解，那會(huì)給考官留下極差的第一印象，而考官也就沒(méi)有信心繼續(xù)往下讀了，最終大作文的得分也不會(huì)很高。
