开头段一为典型的模板式开头,废话多,与话题关系小,毫无疑问会引起考官的反感。开头段二虽然也使用了模板句, 但运用较灵活,不足之处是背景句没有紧扣话题,虽然谈到科技影响生活但没有具体到’relationship‘。开头段三语言虽简单但紧紧围绕话题’relationships‘展开,灵活的使用了一些简短的小套句,而这样具体化的开头最受考官青睐。
(三)简单即是美。雅思作文考的不是文学修养而是学术写作能力,即如何运用语言有效的表达观点证明观点,因此,简单明了的开头会给考官留下效率高的好印象,而且简单的开头段避免了使用模板的嫌疑也节省了时间。例:
Science and technology have changed people’s relationships significantly, which I believe has more benefits than risks.
It is argued that more risks than benefits have been brought by the development of technology on people‘s relationships. Personally, I can hardly agree with this opinion.
最后,雅思老师在给考生们一个提醒,写作重在练习,所谓熟能生巧,开头段的构思亦是一样。
