新托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作結(jié)構(gòu)解析:比較對(duì)比型
2014-12-25 16:19:25留學(xué)網(wǎng)整理
在之前兩個(gè)系列的介紹中,我們了解到ETS公布的獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作185題庫(kù)和改革后網(wǎng)考中出現(xiàn)的獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作題,它們有一定的共性。從應(yīng)考方面而言,在接觸一個(gè)新托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作的題目時(shí),我們必須要掌握的是文章的結(jié)構(gòu)。嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)慕Y(jié)構(gòu)對(duì)觀點(diǎn)的表達(dá)有事半功倍的作用。ETS公布的185題庫(kù)的題目和近幾年的托福網(wǎng)考考題,除了話(huà)題上的共性外,在問(wèn)題模式上和雅思議論文一樣,可以歸為固定的幾類(lèi)問(wèn)題模式:
* 描述解釋型
* 二選一型
III 比較對(duì)比型
1). 概念判斷
判斷一道作文題是否屬于“比較對(duì)比型”,可以看題目中是否包含下列詞匯:compare and contrast,compare,advantages and disadvantages等。例如:
1. (第4題)
It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
2. (5題)
A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
3. (113題)
The government has announced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific detains in your discussion.
由上述三道題中的compare and contrast,advantages and disadvantages可以判斷它們都屬于“比較對(duì)比型”的題目。由此可見(jiàn),比較對(duì)比型和之前介紹過(guò)的二選一型有個(gè)區(qū)別,它要求考生必須兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)或方面(即優(yōu)缺點(diǎn))都要提到,它顯然是不能用單邊論證結(jié)構(gòu)。它可以采用的結(jié)構(gòu)如下。
2). 對(duì)應(yīng)結(jié)構(gòu)分析
雙邊論證
根據(jù)前一系列的介紹,雙邊論證基本為四段論,它與單邊的最大區(qū)別在正文,正文兩段分別對(duì)題干提出的兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)或優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)進(jìn)行論證。此系列通過(guò)上面的例題二來(lái)理解這一結(jié)構(gòu)的使用:
原創(chuàng)范例(5題)
Introduction: The new factory does bring a range of benefits, yet the residents are not advised to establish it.
Main body 1:
Topic sentence: Admittedly, the residents and the local government as well gain benefits from the construction of this factory in the community.
Reason 1: For one thing, a new factory requires plenty of new workers, providing employment opportunities for the community.
Reason 2: For another, the new factory is certain to pay tax to the indigenous government, and thus enhance the tax income of the whole community.
Main body 2:
Topic sentence: However, building a large factory could bring along a great many disadvantages.
Reason 1: First and foremost, a large factory will definitely produce pollution to the community.
Reason 2: In the second place, it is possible that traffic jams could happen due to the returning tide during rush hours.
Reason 3: Last but not least, flowing population resulted from the establishment of the factory will undoubtedly increase, which casts threat to the community.
半支持半反對(duì)結(jié)構(gòu)
所謂半支持半反對(duì),就是在第二段討論比較對(duì)比設(shè)計(jì)的兩個(gè)對(duì)象中的一個(gè),在第三段和第四段討論另一個(gè)對(duì)象。請(qǐng)參考下面的結(jié)構(gòu)圖:
第一段:引言
1. 明確話(huà)題
2. 給出文章結(jié)構(gòu)布局
第二段:弊端/觀點(diǎn)一
1. 分論點(diǎn)一(段落主題句)
2. 例證一(論證過(guò)程)
第三段:有利之處一/觀點(diǎn)二的理由一
3. 分論點(diǎn)一(段落主題句)
4. 例證一(論證過(guò)程)
第四段:有利之處二/觀點(diǎn)二的理由二
5. 分論點(diǎn)二(段落主題句)
6. 例證一(論證過(guò)程)
結(jié)尾:
發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)
對(duì)應(yīng)的英文文章結(jié)構(gòu)如下所示:
Paragraph 1: Introduction
Background + layout
Paragraph 2-4: Body
Disadvantage / reason for opinion one
Topic Sentence + supporting sentences
Advantages one / reason one for opinion two
Topic Sentence + supporting sentences
Advantages two / reason two for opinion two
Topic Sentence + supporting sentences
Paragraph 5: Conclusion:
State my opinion
根據(jù)上述結(jié)構(gòu),我們可以改寫(xiě)第二題至以下提綱:
原創(chuàng)范例(5題):
Introduction: The new factory does bring a range of benefits, yet the residents are not advised to establish it.
Main body 1: Admittedly, the residents and the local government as well gain benefits from the construction of this factory in the community.
Main body 2: However, a large factory will definitely produce pollution to the community.
Main body 3: Moreover, it is possible that traffic jams could happen due to the returning tide during rush hours.
這一系列文章給大家概括介紹了新托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作的問(wèn)題模式和對(duì)應(yīng)的文章結(jié)構(gòu),建議托?忌诳记埃仨氁莆者@三類(lèi)模式和對(duì)應(yīng)的結(jié)構(gòu),并列出每類(lèi)的模板,才能在考試有限的30分鐘時(shí)間內(nèi)游刃有余的在結(jié)構(gòu)上應(yīng)對(duì)。
