跟經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人學(xué)雅思寫(xiě)作

　　針對(duì)復(fù)習(xí)過(guò)多時(shí)的雅思考生來(lái)說(shuō)，在大量閱讀，強(qiáng)化語(yǔ)法的基礎(chǔ)上，相信你現(xiàn)在寫(xiě)作時(shí)已經(jīng)能夠做到少犯或不犯語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，寫(xiě)出來(lái)的英文還算湊合了。

　　這個(gè)時(shí)候如果需要進(jìn)一步提高文筆應(yīng)該怎么做?可以采用精讀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人以及使用英英詞典和搭配詞典的方法。以Academic Writing 為例，一篇漂亮的文章至少要做到以下幾點(diǎn)：句式豐富多變，長(zhǎng)短句靈活應(yīng)用，用詞準(zhǔn)確出彩，論點(diǎn)豐富，論證有力，邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。

　　而經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人就滿足這種“漂亮”文章的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，是非常好的閱讀和模仿素材。好的文章是模仿出來(lái)的，要學(xué)會(huì)模仿閱讀時(shí)遇到的優(yōu)美的詞匯用法、句型結(jié)構(gòu)、巧妙的比喻、幽默的風(fēng)格等等，慢慢化為自己的熟練表達(dá)。

　　比如很多人習(xí)作中出現(xiàn)的一個(gè)問(wèn)題是句式單一，用詞平庸。我們可以學(xué)習(xí)一下經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人文章的寫(xiě)法，增加語(yǔ)言的張力。舉個(gè)例子，下面的這一段節(jié)選自上周的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人文章 The enemy within:

　　EMPLOYEES are often said to be a company’s biggest resource. It is equally true that they are its biggest liability. Scarcely a week goes by without a company falling victim to employees-turned-enemies-or-embarrassments. On July 20th Ashley Madison, a website for married people looking to have an affair, announced that it had been hacked. Noel Biderman, the company’s chief executive, says that he thinks the attack was “an inside job”. On July 6th HSBC fired a group of employees when it emerged that they had filmed themselves engaged inan “ISIS-style mock beheading” of an Asian colleague dressed in an orange jumpsuit.

　　The most familiar type of enemy within is the fraudster. The Economist Intelligence Unit, a sister organisation of The Economist, conducts a regular poll of senior executives on the subject of fraud committed by insiders. In 2013 the poll discovered that about 70% of companies had suffered from at least one instance of fraud, up from 61% in the previous survey. Fraud is often petty: a survey of British employees for YouGov in 2010 found that a quarter of staff eligible for expenses admitted to inflating claims. But fraud can also be more audacious and more harmful: think of former employees setting up rivals using stolen technology and purloined client lists.
