如何在雅思閱讀中借鑒寫作思路來解題?

　　許多學(xué)生認(rèn)為，動輒900-1000字的閱讀文章對于只有150和250字的雅思作文借鑒意義不大，事實(shí)上，兩者在主題、構(gòu)思、句式、用詞等方面有著很大的相似性。

　　1. 主題性

　　閱讀文章和雅思寫作題目涵蓋的范圍比較廣，具有極強(qiáng)的主題性，其重合話題有：環(huán)境、社會、教育三大方面。閱讀文章的內(nèi)容能幫助考生更好地理解題目的文化背景，積累觀點(diǎn)素材，在備考過程中，考生可以將這兩項(xiàng)結(jié)合起來。

　　劍四test 2的reading passage 1“Lost for Words”極好的回答了雅思一道較難的文化類考題：what are the reasons for the loss of many cultures and languages? How to solve this problem?”

　　許多學(xué)生因?yàn)槿鄙賹@一背景的了解而無從下手，我們完全可以看看這篇閱讀文章提供了哪些素材：

　　1 “What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children, it is relatively safe。”

　　2 “…people reject the language of their parents… It begins with a crisis of confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society…”

　　3 “Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in schools, all to promote national unity。”

　　4 “… They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English…”

　　這些都是十分準(zhǔn)確而又全面的回答，說明了許多語言喪失的原因，甚至連語言喪失對于文化的連帶影響也有所涉及：“Language is also intimately bound with culture, so it may be difficult to preserve one without the other。”

　　這篇文章在后文也對怎樣解決這一問題做出了回答：“ …a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst prediction from coming true….’apprentice’ programs have provided life support t several indigenous languages。”

　　值得注意的是，這篇閱讀文章的結(jié)構(gòu)是遵循“背景—原因—解決方式”的架構(gòu)來安排的，對于寫作結(jié)構(gòu)也有很好的架構(gòu)作用。
