雅思寫作技巧：brainstorming方法

雅思寫作作為一項(xiàng)對(duì)大多數(shù)中國考生來說較難的科目，它的難度主要體現(xiàn)在以下三個(gè)方面：文章結(jié)構(gòu)的合理安排，論證內(nèi)容有邏輯的擴(kuò)展，語言多樣準(zhǔn)確的使用。缺少其中任何一項(xiàng)都有可能使文章得不到高分。很多參加過考試的考生反映在考場上時(shí)間相當(dāng)?shù)木o，就算掌握了大量的高分詞匯句型，對(duì)結(jié)構(gòu)非常熟悉，還是無用武之地，因?yàn)閿U(kuò)展不出素材。

因此針對(duì)此問題，對(duì)于如何加強(qiáng)學(xué)生的brainstorming，本文推薦可以從以下幾個(gè)方面進(jìn)行思維擴(kuò)展，具體如下：

宏觀：經(jīng)濟(jì)(economy)、就業(yè)(employment)、文化(culture)、科技(technology)、環(huán)境(environment)
　　個(gè)人：心理(psychology)、生理(physiology)、教育(education)、情感(emotion)個(gè)人權(quán)利(human right)、人際交往(interpersonal relationship)、娛樂(entertainment)　　
　　在此，將通過列舉一些例題來印證這些方法的實(shí)戰(zhàn)性。

Some people think tobacco should be made illegal in the same way as other drugs because the products containing it are addictive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

通過審題，此題問是否同意煙草行業(yè)被取締。同意則要列舉煙草的一系列缺點(diǎn)，反之不同意，可列舉其優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

Advantages
　　經(jīng)濟(jì)：revenue-rising for the country and businessmen concerning this arena,
　　就業(yè)：offer the opportunities of employment in various fronts, including manufacturing, transporting, selling, governing, for residents
　　文化：forming / shaping cigar culture
　　心理：  relieve one’s pressure

Disadvantages
　　經(jīng)濟(jì)：  money-consuming for smokers
　　環(huán)境：  air pollution  potential hazard of fire
　　生理：  be addictive to it, harmful to smokers’ health, leading to lung cancer
　　情感：  be overly-dependent on smoking

用了上述辦法，擴(kuò)展出來的論據(jù)就能更加全面，有條理。下面再列舉一個(gè)題目，來做brainstorming。

Many people are optimistic about the 21st century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes to the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their optimism?

通過審題，此題就是讓我們分析21世紀(jì)是利大于弊還是弊大于利，所以只要列舉21世紀(jì)發(fā)展的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)就可以了。

Advantages:
　　經(jīng)濟(jì)：  economy be promoted, efficiency be increased
　　科技：  advanced technology facilitates people’s life
　　個(gè)人權(quán)利： human rights be laid more emphasis on
　　心理：  increasing number of recreational activities to help people relieve from pressure

Disadvantages:
　　就業(yè)：  growing population,  fierce competition
　　環(huán)境：  environmental pollution continuing getting worse
　　心理：  pressure coming from a range of aspects

以上兩個(gè)題目都運(yùn)用了本文所介紹的思路擴(kuò)展方法，可見其具有很強(qiáng)的適用性，能夠幫助考生在短時(shí)間內(nèi)擴(kuò)展話題的素材，且較全面。當(dāng)然僅僅記住這些原則不是萬能的的，考生在考前一定要進(jìn)行大量的練習(xí)，而老師也要在課堂上選取典型的例題進(jìn)行講解，這樣對(duì)考生加快Brainstorming的速度和提高Brainstorming的能力才有幫助。
