纯英文：外教谈雅思作文如何获得高分

Safeguard your writing score – don’t squander marks

As an IELTS examiner and trainer I have marked thousands of Writing Tests; both in the real test environment and in New Oriental School courses. When students receive their results they often ask me how they can improve their writing score, or how they should modify their answer to achieve a higher score. What many students fail to realise is that improving a writing score is not simply a matter of writing a better answer; one common reason for a low writing score is that the answer was penalised for failing to meet certain important criteria within the marking system. An examiner will penalise an answer for a number of problems which, for the sake of this article I shall describe as Writing Crimes. Once you have identified these crimes and eradicated them from your answer, a higher score will be easier to achieve, more importantly you are not simply throwing marks away unnecessarily.

Task One General Training – The Letter

There is one sure-fire way to lose marks on this simple writing task, an answer which does not cover all the points listed in the question will instantly be penalised, regardless of the quality of the letter itself. All letter questions present the candidate with an outline of the situation followed by three or four bullet points of required content. An answer which fails to present just one of these (i.e. only three of the four are present in the answer) will automatically be penalised.

Combined with this idea is the problem of not sufficiently emphasising the intention of the letter. If the reason for the letter is inviting a teacher to a student party; simply describing the party and signing off the letter with “hope to see you there” is not acceptable. In the early stage of the letter you should state your aim, “I am writing to invite you to our party”. The body of the letter should contain sentences such as, “all of the students really want you come, so it would really mean a lot to us if you could join us”.

Another easy way to throw away marks here is to use the wrong style. If you are writing to a friend then an informal style is required. If you are writing to a company or someone you do not know, obviously the writing style requires an informal and polite tone.

Academic Task One – Graphs and Charts

An answer which omits key details will be penalised. This raises the question of “What is a key detail”; this will vary from task to task. In pie chart task which has only three countries and three categories of data (e.g. nuclear, coal and oil energy) failing to describe one country or category will be interpreted as “omitting key details”. Obviously it is not necessary to describe every piece of data for each country and category. In questions where there is an abundance of data, more details can be ignored but it is mandatory to include some mention of each country and category.

一、词汇贫乏，用词单一，表达呆板

雅思考试要求考生的词汇量在8000个以上，而这其中有三分之一指的是阅读中的一些高难词汇或专业词汇，对于本站们写作而言，能够灵活高效地运用 5000词汇就已足够。很多考生中文功底扎实，思路敏捷，拿到雅思题目时也是有感而发，文思如泉涌，无奈囊中羞涩，词汇量有限，再多的想法和思路就如同茶壶里的饺子，有货却倒不出来，可谓是“只可意会，不可言传”。一篇250字的雅思作文让广大考生绞尽脑汁，搜肠刮肚，结果写出来的句子并没有准确高效地表达自己的意思。词汇量的贫乏就直接导致了考生在写作中用词单一，表达呆板，全文就是一些简单词汇的不断重复和累加，写作能力也可见一斑。有些考生一想起“ 产生，引起”，就习惯性用“produce”，却不了解 “promote, generate, trigger, lead to, result in”等词汇和短语的表达都有此意思，完全可以在写作当中进行词汇的替换。而简单词汇的重复不仅让文章在词汇上水平不高，通篇归于平庸，而且让一些能够成为行文闪光点的精辟思维和见解也黯然失色。

二、用词不当，词不达意，中式英语充斥全文

有些考生单词量不小，在行文中也能够做到词汇的同义转换，然而写出来的文章还是让考*夷所思，大跌眼镜，究其原因，主要是用词不够准确，chinglish大行其道，整篇文章就是考生想当然的一个汉译英过程，其结果也就可想而知。

许多考生在背词汇时，往往只是满足于知晓单词的中文意思，而不深究词汇的具体用法。英语的每个单词都有它的denotation(字面意思)和 connotation(内涵意思)，一些同义词在感*彩上可能大相径庭。并且，由于中西方文化和传统的差异，一些相同的意象可能负载着不同的文化内涵，而这些都是考生在写作中要注意的问题。

比如 说“slander, slim, lean, skinny, underweight, lanky”等词都有“瘦”的意思，而 “slander”是褒义的，“skinny”是贬义的，而“underweight”是中性的。再比方说, “dragon”(龙)这个意象，在中国人眼里是“吉祥，高贵”的象征，而在西方人的眼里却是“邪恶”的象征，从西方史诗Beowulf《贝尔沃夫》里那条邪恶的喷火龙Grendel就可见一斑。还有一些考生完全不顾及单词的用法和固定搭配，杜撰出的中式英语令人啼笑皆非，写作分数自然提不高。
