第二種誤區(qū),觀點(diǎn)過(guò)于廣泛。教學(xué)中我們經(jīng)常強(qiáng)調(diào),雅思寫作論點(diǎn)一定要寫的具體,越細(xì)越好。而考生經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題就是會(huì)出現(xiàn)一些很寬泛的論點(diǎn)句,以至于在較短的篇幅里并不能充分展開,甚至有時(shí)候會(huì)造成觀點(diǎn)重疊。比如:“Mobilephones have changed our life greatly.”這句只是說(shuō)手機(jī)很大程度上改變了人們的生活,但是并未點(diǎn)明從哪些方面上帶來(lái)了改變,因此把這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)具化一下:“Mobile phones can serve asa connection to the Internet, which can be extremely convenient for obtaininginformation wherever you may be.”再比如:“Advertising has bad effects on all ofsociety. ”這一句說(shuō)廣告有不良影響,我們需要寫出具體的方面“Advertisements which exaggerate the functionof the products may mislead the consumers.”
第三種誤區(qū),與第二種誤區(qū)相反,有類考生的雅思寫作論點(diǎn)寫的過(guò)于狹窄以至于沒(méi)有展開的空間甚至沒(méi)有進(jìn)一步支持的必要。這類句子與其說(shuō)是觀點(diǎn),倒不如說(shuō)是事實(shí)的陳述或者只是舉了個(gè)例子而已。比如:“Thereare more local residents engaged in tourism industry.”這句陳述了一個(gè)事實(shí)就是在當(dāng)?shù)卦絹?lái)越多人開始從事旅游業(yè),并非觀點(diǎn),可改為:“Tourism brings huge economic benefits tolocal residents.”再比如:“The consumption of fossil fuels increase in recent years.”這句說(shuō)化石燃料的消費(fèi)近年來(lái)有增長(zhǎng),需給出論述重點(diǎn),假設(shè)我們要論述原因:“The consumption of fossil fuels increasingin recent years results from two factors.”
第四種誤區(qū),一個(gè)論點(diǎn)句中包含兩個(gè)或多個(gè)主題。這種現(xiàn)象在讓步段的寫作中尤為明顯,讓步段寫作要求針對(duì)反方一個(gè)論點(diǎn)進(jìn)行反駁論述。如果反方觀點(diǎn)或反駁論點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)這種多主題情況,很容易讓文章失去統(tǒng)一性和連貫性,從而導(dǎo)致邏輯不清,扣分嚴(yán)重。比如:“Advertisementscan help people make purchasing decisions which may not be rational.”這句想說(shuō)廣告能幫助人們做出購(gòu)買選擇,又寫道可能造成沖動(dòng)消費(fèi),兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)且自相矛盾,改為:“Advertisements can help people makepurchasing decisions.”再比如:“Different generation differ from each other a lot inliving habits and attitudes.”這句說(shuō)不同年齡段的人生活習(xí)慣和觀點(diǎn)不同,其實(shí)主要想強(qiáng)調(diào)這樣容易帶來(lái)沖突,改為:“ Differentliving habits and attitudes of different generation may cause conflicts whileliving together.”
