雅思大作文结尾段无疑是全文关注度的部分,写作者往往都倾向于一句话匆匆结尾,和俗称‘牛身’的主体部分自是不能相提并论,开头段虽然分值占比也不多,但毕竟是门面,印象分的存在足以让作者花心思斟酌推敲。
而结尾段似乎已经固化成总结全文立场的一句话,以确保文章结构的基本完整。结尾段俗称‘豹尾’,说明不仅仅简洁,也可以有力更强劲地总结全文。
本文就个人理解介绍下如何利用文中内容,对文章进行妥善稳健地收尾。
观点类议论文主流写作结构五段式,即主体段两段立论我方观点,让步段某种程度上让步对方。结尾段写作可以是简单得总结文章主要内容,也可以根据让步段正负情况提出适度建议。
即,如果让步段为该事物可能存在的弊端,结尾时可以围绕这一论述给出建议,也就是简单填补自己支持方的漏洞,文章显得更辩证理性。
示例(一)
例题:
Good facilities can be found in cities but not in the countryside. Therefore, new doctors and teachers should be sent to the countryside.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
解析:
该题探讨是否支持将新人医生和老师派遣到农村,正反方都可以构思出合理的论点,题型也没有明确约束范围,假设支持该做法,可以从农村和涉及者两个平行方向出发,作为支持方的两个论据:
1农村医疗教育基础设施服务都很匮乏,处于劣势,将老师医生引入,有利于缓解这一困境(hospitals, clinics and schools are severely understaffed in rural areas, compared with their overstaffed counterparts in the city);
2对新人医生和教师也有裨益,城市里竞争激烈实践机会有限去农村可以增加工作经验,并且可以少借助医疗设备和教学辅助工具,从而提升职业技能(To the doctors or teachers that graduate freshly with a degree only, working in rural areas enables them to enrich work experience within the shortest possible period of time)。弊端也很明显,比如强制性分配违反人权,阻止他人追求更高生活质量的目标和愿望(compulsory assortment is not justifiable/it is not ethical to stop the desire of individuals for a more satisfying quality of life).
按照以上文章行文思路,让步段的确认可题干做法所存在的弊端,结尾段在总结立场后,可以适当利用该段内容给出相应的建议,不应该强制性分配,应该尊重个人意愿,这样显得更合理,全文也可以圆回来。例如:
To conclude, working for a period of time in the country benefits new teachers and doctors alike with increasing their work experience and meanwhile, address the service shortage facing those areas. However, the voluntary sing-up should be guaranteed, instead of mandatory assignment.
示例(二)
例题:
Some people argue that history is of little or no use to us. Others believe that studying history gives many benefits.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
解析:
教育类老题---是否应该学历史,如果文章选取支持,可以从以下角度支撑:1. 学习历史可以借鉴前人知识,以史为鉴,避免走弯路,做出更明智的决定(understanding the past contributes to people’s decision making in today’s social context); 2. 也可以提高人们的分析能力,看问题的辩证能力(It is not only to seek self-knowledge, but also to enhance their skills and make themselves all-round individuals);从反面来看,学习历史也会有不可取之处,现在的世界日新月异,社会已经很复杂,过去的事情只有在特定语境下才有借鉴意义(the lesson from the past might be applicable in particular circumstances only)
根据这样的文章思路,结尾段在重申个人观点后可以根据主体部分提出的问题做适当的建议:
As indicated above, studying history is of critical importance, particularly in increasing one’s knowledge and enhancing one’s intellectual abilities. However, it should not be attached with unjustified importance because its applications in today’s society are not known with certainty.
学习历史的确是至关重要,开拓知识面,也可以加强个人技能。但是需要注意的是考虑到在现在社会中的实际用途,它也不应该被无依据的注重强调。总而言之,人们还是应该采取批判性理性思维看待这一问题。更多关于雅思考试的个性化问题敬请咨询新航道官网
