半年雅思写作如何从5.5到7

4号在澳洲考了雅思,作文,从小学起就是我的天敌,这次终于拿到了7分,先说下感想,同时感谢51雅思网,在坛子里泡了很长时间,学到到了很多知识。
我09年1月在国内参加过一次,知道作文一直是软肋,考前特意看了些要领,比如怎么分段,词句要有亮点、复杂之类的。考得时候当时感觉不错,自认为用了很多复杂的词汇和长句,后来成绩下来总分7,而作文只有5.5,差点掀桌子。在澳洲留学了3年多,就考到这点分数,还是在家长面前,很是惭愧。

回澳洲后,我拿了一篇文章给一个普通的英语老师(非雅思)看,发现他给我的建议是:
1 句子要短
2 词语、语法要简单
3 不出错的情况下,尽量不用重复的词。
他说,如果你的英语还没好到不出语法和拼写错误,那么就要尽量捡你最有把握的用。只要你能把观点表述清楚,流畅,没有错误,那么考官就找不到扣分的理由。这番话对我如醍醐灌顶,其实看看平时报纸上的文章,用的常常都是再普通不过的词句和结构,句式纵然多样,也没有太过亢长复杂的。总之一句话,要回归自然,且最大限度减少错误。

这次考试前两个星期,我大概做了十几篇练习,每次都是找个新题,即使不熟悉的topic也不去找资料,逼自己能想到什么就写什么,毕竟考试时再偏的题也得硬写嘛。我觉得这个由思考到写的过程是最重要的,把观点转化成语句的同时,自己的写作习惯也熟练起来,速度也会逐渐提高。我写完也没有特别去背,但是每一篇都拿去给老师检查,把犯的语法错误和错别字都记下来,这样慢慢的,自己熟悉常用的句式就很少再出错了。另外我认为观点是否合逻辑很重要,不合逻辑说明英语表达能力有问题。写前先想好重点的arguements都是什么,不能吝啬这几分钟,这样才能保议论的有效、多面和完整的结构。辩论中举例子也很重要,我是写不出大段的理论的,但是两句理论解释下观点,再举个例子,能想到的话再总结一句,60-70字的一段就出来了。

把我4号的作文发上来吧,考完后重写的,意思结构都差不多,具体肯定有出入(其实是我自己的记忆太差),不过肯定不会比考场上的还烂,毕竟时间太有限,而且我感觉当时字数只有230左右,尽管我的手写字比较大。
我想我的练习还是不太够的,时间很紧,小作文也没来及练,成绩在众多高手面前不值一提,只是作为自己短期有效提高分数的经验,供大家讨论吧。

PS我想确定一下,A类的考试也可以用作澳洲移民评分的吧?

Should government spend on non-scientific research?

There has always been a debate on government spending in various research areas. Someone suggests that comparing to non-scientific research, only scientific research contributing to the development of modern society is worth investing. I can not disagree more with it.

It’s true that scientific research, in areas such as physics and technology, has greatly improved our quality of life. However, given the ultimate goal of building an ideal society, one shall not overlook the importance of non-scientific research. Studies in philosophy and history for example, can help us to explore our moral world, learn from past experience and find implications on how a society may function better. Politics for example, is always a fight between different thoughts and opinions as there is no determined right or wrong.

One may argue that if there are no hard facts to prove any theories, non-scientific research is meaningless. However, the entire value judgment system guiding us of what we should do, is essentially non-scientific and illogical, reflecting a consentience by common members at large(这句考试时没有,重写时才想到的,算作弊啦可以无视). In other word, there are questions with no correct answers and can not be proved by scientific research. For instance, study into climate change can identify possible outcomes of human activities to the environment, yet whether we should adopt expensive environment protection schemes, compromising current benefit to future generations, is subject to research in ethics and sociology.

Overall speaking, scientific research provides us a pathway to social development, where non-scientific research serves as the necessary guidance. Both of them are crucial for a country in achieving an ideal society.
