(剑4 Test 1 Passage 1) 译文：这些误解不是孤立存在的，而是组成了一个尽管多层面却十分有条理的概念体系，这一点使得该体系本身及其所有组成的观点更加难以攻破，有些观点甚至本身就是错误的，但是也正是这样，它们反而更容易改动。 这个句子主要难在词汇和句子结构上。我们先来学习一下下面几个词汇： 1. multifaceted：多层面的；多才多艺的 2. component: 组成部分的 3. erroneous：错误的 4. robust: 粗鲁的；强健的 5. incorporated：组成的，合并的 我们该来分析一下句子结构：句子主语是These misconceptions，并列谓语do not remain ……but become，其中有not……but 句式，宾语是isolated，incorporated into…… framework。Making作结果状语，which引导限制性定语从句修饰the component ideas。

雅思作文常见开头结尾形式 注：如下方式，雅思写作针对性强，且略带模板印迹，同学应在充分理解结构的基础上，用上面的方法去灵活写作 雅思大作文第一段一定要包括这样三个基本要素：“背景句”，“话题”和“观点”。这三个部分是完整统一的，一定不能忽略。 第一，背景句：背景句主要起到引题的作用，但要紧密联系题目中的话题。其方法是围绕题干中的关键词或核心词展开。 背景句的写作方法： 1 联系社会背景：任何一个话题肯定都于一定的社会发展息息相关，所以联系关键词的社会背景是一种最简单、最常用的方法。具体可以有以下5种句式： 1) The 21st century witnesses --- 2) With the development of science and technology,--- 3) In modern society, --- 4) It is quite common these days that --- 5) Recently,--- 例如：There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones? 参考背景句： The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, which gave rise to a series of technological innovations, including the mobile phone. 或with the development of science and technology, the mobile phone is more and more available to and popular with common people. 2 重述话题：有的时候题干里是有一个背景介绍的，这时候我们只需将题目所给话题重新复述一遍即可。但切忌原样照搬照抄，不过可以将原文中的词汇和句式进行同义转换。转换句型可以有以下三种． 1) it is generally believed that --- 2) it is said that--- 3) it is reported that--- 例如：Nowadays, people are facing more and more work-related stress. State the possible reasons for this phenomenon and make some recommendations about how to combat it. 参考背景句： It is generally believed that individuals are confronted with psychological and physical stress coming from work. 3解释中心词: 即将中心词进行解释或展开说明。此种方法一般适合容易下定义的词比如图书馆。可以有以下三个句型： 1)It is known to all that --- 2)As is known to all, --- 3)--- is known as--- 例如：The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books and they should not waste their

雅思小作文开头段应该如何写 在雅思写作的小作文部分里，往往我们可以采纳“老三段”式的写法，以不变应万变，不论是线图，柱图，表格，饼图，亦或是流程图，我们都可以采用此种方式完成雅思小作文的写作。 那么老三段式的经典写法中，强调着第一段“开门见山”介绍出本文讨论内容，即改写题目。将必要内容进行改写，这样可以获得高分效应。 第二段“丰实的内容”尽量多地将图表中的信息表达明确，不时的需要我们之前总结的常用表达(敬请参见前几篇文章关于雅思作文经典表达介绍文章)。第三段也就是文章的最后一段，对全文进行一个总结概括即可。 本文将着眼于介绍雅思作文开头段的常用高频高分表达，希望对同学们准备雅思有所帮助。也请同学们积极准备! 五分表达： The chart depicts (that)…该图呈现出… The chart shows (that)… The figures/statistics show (that)… The diagram reveals … The chart illustrates (that)… 六分表达： The graph provides some interesting data regarding…该图为我们提供了有关…有趣数据。 The graph describes the trend of …这个图描述了…的趋势 As is shown/demonstrated/exhibited in the chart/diagram/chart/table…如图所示… According to the chart …根据这些表格… As is shown in the table…如图所示… This table shows the changing proportion of A and B from …to …该表格描述了…年到…年之间A与B的比例关系。 This graph,presented in the chart,shows the general trend in…该图呈现了…总的趋势。

雅思大作文开篇如何让人眼前一亮 雅思写作除了词汇量要达到以外，还有很多提分点的哦。出guo 为雅思栏目大家带来雅思大作文开篇如何让人眼前一亮，希望对大家备考雅思有所帮助! 正所谓好的开始是成功的一半，雅思大作文的写作也一次次验证了这个道理。很多同学往往不重视雅思大作文开头段的写作，只是简单套用一些现成的模板，殊不知这样已经给考官留下“背诵模板”的印象，这样一来，不仅给后面的主体段带来了巨大压力，而且人的第一印象往往是很难改变的。大作文开头段往往要包含如下几个关键内容，即，介绍背景，引出有争议的话题，阐述对立观点和陈述作者自己的观点。无论使用还是不使用模板，这几个关键信息是一定要包含在开头段落当中的，不然云里雾里，只能是适得其反。 根据这些信息，备战过的考生们一定都熟悉下面这一套开头写作流程，首先It is quite mon these days...介绍背景，或者用The issue of ... is a plex and sensitive one.这样的句型来引出有争议话题，然后千篇一律地分别介绍对立双方观点，如Some individuals believe that..., while others hold the view that...最终用Personally, I agree with...至此，内容上完美无
瑕，但恐怕考官心中已经大大打下“模板”两个字的烙印，这无疑对于想取得6分及以上的同学最不利的事情。 例如，一道雅思写作高频题目，讨论到底大学应该教授实用性课程(如计算机和商科课程)还是传统课程(如历史和地理)。我们依然按照开头段应该包含的关键信息开始写作，但是却可以这样轻松突破：These day there is a growing tendency for college students to have difficulties in finding jobs when they graduate.(介绍背景)A large number of people hold the opinion that lack of practical knowledge, among other things, contributes to this situation. In light of this, they contend that college teachers should lay more stress on practical courses than on traditional ones. (引出有争议的话题，并阐述大多数人的观点)For my part, I am in favour of their viewpoint.(作者观点)这一段写得非常灵巧，第一句结合题目背景，介绍现如今有一种趋势，即大学毕业生很难找到工作，紧接着作者陈述有许多人认为这是由于学生缺少实用性的知识，并因此提出大学应该更多关注于教授实用性的知识，这一句将有争议话题的其中一方观点用因果链条清晰阐述。最后一句表达作者自己的立场，就是支持前面大多数人的想法。总的来看，这一段只提及了对立双方的其中一方观点，然后表达自己支持这一方观点。这就是一种对于开头段模板的超越，简单可行，只对其中一方观点清晰论
雅思阅读长难句的分类和实例分析从常见的主从复合句、并列复合句和其他特殊句式三个方面分享了这些复杂结构的分析方法，大家可以参考一下，希望能提高大家的备考质量。 一、主从复合句：是指一个句子中有两个或两个以上主谓结构，并且其中一个(或更多)主谓结构作为句子的某些成分。常见的主从复合句有名词性从句(主语从句、同位语从句、表语从句、宾语从句)、定语从句和状语从句。给大家举个例子吧： 例：同位语从句+定语从句+状语从句 Second, we make a very conservative assumption that we are looking for a life form that is pretty well like us, since if it differs radically from us we may well not recognise it as a life form, quite apart from whether we are able to communicate with it. (剑9 Test 1 Passage 2) 句子结构分析：这句话的主干是we make a very conservative assumption that…that…since if…whether…。第一个That引导的从句作assumption的同位语，第二个that引导定语从句修饰a life form，since引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句。 译文：第二，我们保守地假定我们正在搜寻的生命形式和人类非常相似，如果形势完全不同，那么我们可能不会把它看作一种生命形式，更不用说能否与它进行交流了。 二、并列复合句：由两个或两个以上的分句通过一些并列连词(but、and、not only…but also…、neither…nor…、yet、while、so等)，构成的复合句。常见的并列复合句可以分为并列关系复合句、转折关系复合句、因果关系复合句和选择关系复合句。给大家举个例子吧： 例：并列关系复合句 The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. (剑9 Test 3 Passage 2) 句子结构分析：and连接两个并列句，第一个句子是被动语态，为现在完成时，句子主干是The technology has been developed in the North Sea oil industry 。第二个句子是主系表结构，为一般现在时，句子主干是much is already known about turbine blade design，because of作原因状语。 译文：应对海底恶劣盐渍环境的技术已经在北海油田工业中得以研发，而且得益于对风力发电及船只螺旋桨等技术的积累，人们对涡轮机叶片的设计已经有了很多了解。 三、其他特殊句式：除了上面给大家分享的一些复合句之外，雅思阅读中还会出现一些倒装、省略、强调等特殊句式，同学们备考的时候要注意一下。例子如下： 例1 ：强调句式
