許歡解析“劍七”寫作。由新航道整理首發(fā)。雅思培訓(xùn)

　　“劍七”Task 1（A類）總結(jié)：

　　1.四大主流題型一一登場，流程圖和解釋說明題（地圖題）沒有出現(xiàn)，每年5次左右，下半年7月和9月為“危險(xiǎn)月”，流程圖最全下載地址：博客“張馳新雅思最全資料下載”中“小新雅思筆記 version 10.0”

　　2.沒有出現(xiàn)組合圖，但是出現(xiàn)了同一題型的多圖，比如Test 2、3、4，其中Test 4的四張餅圖比較新穎，同時(shí)結(jié)合了靜態(tài)圖和動(dòng)態(tài)圖的寫作特點(diǎn)，考生應(yīng)把握重點(diǎn)數(shù)據(jù)和趨勢。

　　3.總體上動(dòng)態(tài)圖多于靜態(tài)圖，這也符合雅思題庫中動(dòng)態(tài)圖和靜態(tài)圖7：3的大致比例。有些圖表面上似乎是動(dòng)態(tài)圖，但是由于主語不同，其實(shí)還屬于靜態(tài)圖，比如Test 1，所以考生一定在寫作前確認(rèn)是動(dòng)態(tài)圖還是靜態(tài)圖，否則會(huì)極大地影響分?jǐn)?shù)。

　　4.Test 1和Test 3比較好寫，基本對(duì)于趨勢要求比較低，主要是一些靜態(tài)句式的運(yùn)用，比如“是…”，“是…倍”，“多…”，“少…”，考生應(yīng)當(dāng)積累更多的同義表達(dá)。

　　“劍七”Task 1（G類）總結(jié)：

　　1.兩封信都屬于semi-formal的信件，雅思信件基本風(fēng)格為兩種：formal和semi-formal，前者是寫給權(quán)威機(jī)構(gòu)、陌生人或者相關(guān)人員的，后者主要是給朋友或親戚。所以雅思信件絕不能模仿email的寫作要求，類似于buddy這種完全informal的方式是不可以的。

　　2.和A類一樣，綜合要求的信件越來越多，以前主要是單種要求的信件，比如投訴信或是感謝信，現(xiàn)在的信件大多采取組合要求，比如我們可以看到G類的Test 2的信件要求是

　　thank them for the photos and for the holiday （感謝信）

　　explain why you didn’t write earlier （解釋信）

　　invite them to come and stay with you （邀請(qǐng)信）

　　以往兩種要求的信還是比較多的，比如在投訴中一定會(huì)有request，在道歉中也會(huì)有explanation，但是類似于劍七這種三個(gè)要求的信件還是比較少的，考生應(yīng)當(dāng)多練一練，把握每項(xiàng)要求的比例。

　　“劍七”Task 2（A類）總結(jié)：

　　1.題型更加靈活，除了前兩篇都是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的Discursive的問法，Test 3和Test 4的問法都非常靈活，這點(diǎn)考生要注意了。例如Test 3的Task 2的提問方式：

　　As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing.

　　What factors contribute to job satisfaction?

　　How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?

　　第一個(gè)問題是構(gòu)成工作滿意度的“要素”，這個(gè)題型其實(shí)有點(diǎn)類似于PRR里的Reason或是Cause and Effect中的Cause，后面一個(gè)問題其實(shí)關(guān)注“員工都滿意可能嗎”，當(dāng)然這道題目是Discursive的問法，甚至可以中立的講法，看環(huán)境和公司文化等等。

　　Task 2 Rubrics:

　　1)Discursive 50%

　　2)Agree or Disagree 20%

　　3)PRR(Why + What) 25%

　　4)A&D 5%

　　5)Combo 20%

　　2.四套真題全部集中在我們課上所講的三大主題，1號(hào)球（生涯規(guī)劃），2號(hào)球（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施），3號(hào)球（抽象題），這三個(gè)大主題占到總題庫的75%以上，考生應(yīng)當(dāng)多加準(zhǔn)備。

　　3.一切新題源于老題，雖然雅思寫作題庫在08年～09年目前變化幅度不是很大，但是還是能看到出題考官的一些“新意”，但是這些所謂的“新意”還是沒有擺脫過去老題的影子。Test 1其實(shí)來源于“性格的形成是先天還是后天的”，就是著名的nature or nurture。Test 2來源于“孩子犯錯(cuò)應(yīng)不應(yīng)該接受體罰”，題中的fixed punishment其實(shí)就是“體罰”的一種象征。Test 3多次在之前的考試中考過，基本沒有任何變化。而Test 4最雅思1號(hào)球中最元老的一道題了，其實(shí)就是“知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)”的作用，這道題最早出現(xiàn)在04年的1月7日，至今共考過12次，簡直就是雅思史上的常青樹了。

　　“劍七”Task 2（G類）總結(jié)：

　　1.也開始出現(xiàn)兩種出題要求，希望移民類考生一定要看清楚。

　　2.對(duì)部分詞語的辨析要求較高，比如Test 1中的house和apartment的辨析，如果考生不能最初判斷的話，會(huì)導(dǎo)致文章思路的中斷，而Test 2中的entertainer也絕不是字面上顯示的“娛樂工作者”或是“藝術(shù)工作者”，其實(shí)根據(jù)后面的括號(hào)就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實(shí)這個(gè)詞和celebrity沒有很大的區(qū)別，所以移民類考生在大作文中還要多根據(jù)上下文揣摩詞匯，切勿根據(jù)單詞的literal meaning（字面意思）揣摩其義。

　　《劍橋雅思7》Test 1 Writing Task 2 考官滿分范文賞析

　　WRITING TASK 2
　　You should spend about 40 minutes on this task
　　Write about the following topic:
　　It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.
　　Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
　　You should write at least 250 words.
　　Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
　　MODEL ANSWER
　　This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.
　　The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, sport, art or music.
　　Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music. So from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.
　　However, some people believe that innate talent is what differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players. In other words, there is more to the skill than a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.
　　I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes. Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a comparable level. But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive. Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent. Without the natural talent, continuous training would be neither attractive nor productive, and without the training, the child would not learn how to exploit and develop their talent.
　　In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required.
