雅思寫作方法談：如何擴展主體段

今天，我們來講講雅思寫作。上周，講師團的雅思名師 Helen 為大家講解了大作文開頭段的寫作方法。Helen's 2-step method 大家還記得多少呢?今天，一起聽 Helen 老師講解大作文主體段的展開方法--How to write a main paragraph.

主體段展開一直是學生非常頭疼的部分，總感覺沒內容可寫，湊不夠字數。今天我們一起來學習如何對中心句進行擴展和支持。

我們先對大作文的文章結構做一個量化：

-4-paragraph essay 文章結構一般為四段式。

-2 main body paragraphs 其中包含兩個主體段

-5 sentences in each 每個主體段由5句話組成

-90 to 100 words each 每個主體段字數在90-100個單詞。

量化后，大家對大作文應該有了更加清晰直觀的概念吧。

今天我們主要講一下如何對主體段 (Main parts of your essay) 進行展開。

首先，要有好的想法 (good ideas)，好的詞匯 (good vocabulary) 以及構思 (planning)

兩種主體段展開方法：

1. Firstly / Secondly / Finally (Advantages / disadvantages / problems/solutions)

這種方法在展開過程中給出不止一個觀點，可以是兩個或者三個。

2. Idea / Explain / example

One idea / a reason / an opinion

這種方法是針對一個點進行具體解釋及給出相關例子。

以第一種主體段展開方法為例：每個主體段我們要嘗試寫五句話 (Try to Write 5 sentences)

1. Topic Sentence

2. Firstly

3. Secondly

4. Finally

5. explain more, or add example

以�？嫉慕逃�類題目為例：

Topic: Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

假定我們的觀點是不同意 disagree

3-minute plan: 具體想一下為什么社區(qū)服務不應該是必修課的一部分：

首先，既然是 high school programs 可以知道高中生一般課業(yè)比較繁忙

-school timetable is full / no time for community service

-students' work in other subjects would be affected

不僅如此，并不是每個學生都想參加社區(qū)服務 community service. 有些學生不喜歡參加，我們不能強迫每個孩子都接受社區(qū)服務。

-teenagers might not want to do it (reluctant/no motivation)

共三個不同意的觀點。因此主體段第一句話可以總結概括說“disagree for several reasons”

There are several reasons why I would argue against having compulsory community service for secondary school students. Firstly, the school curriculum is already full with important academic subjects, such as math, science and languages. For example, I remember having an extremely busy timetable when I was at high school, and it would not have been possible to add to it. Secondly, students' performance in other subjects would be affected if valuable study time were taken by charity work or neighborhood improvement schemes. *(students’work 作為例子進行展示 ) Finally, I believe that the teenage students would be reluctant to take part in any programme of obligatory work, and this could lead to poor motivation and even bad behavior.

注意：

1. Linking words do not help your “vocabulary” score 銜接詞是文中標藍的詞匯;

2. Examiners want to see “topic vocabulary” 也就是與話題有關的詞匯，文中標紅的部分。

通過五句話，我們非常清晰地對自己的觀點進行了細節(jié)化延伸。
