　　雅思写作：运用“让步”思维赚眼球(二)

　　让步段还可以运用到讨论类另一种结构中，笔者谓之双边倾向论证。我们通过一个具体的实例来解释这种论证结构以及让步在其中的用法。

　　There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?

　　我们建议此题一定要认真审题，因为这个问题模式对文章的结构有着直接的影响。它有两问，第一问要回答手机的三个方面的问题，第二问优缺点讨论，结合这两问，得出文章结构如下：

　　Introduction: State my opinion

　　The problems of mobile phones far exceed the merits.

　　Body: Ph 1 the benefits brought about by mobiles (Making concession)　Convenient, functional

　　Ph2 the social, medial and technical problems of mobile phones

　　Conclusion: Restate my opinion

　　Although mobile phones have some benefits, the negative influences should not be overlooked.

　　看完结构，不难理解双边倾向的结构即两个方面优点和缺点都提及，作者的观点是倾向其中一方的，那么不同意的那一方的论证段就可以理解为让步段。结合句式，我们可以写一下让步段的topic sentence:It is undeniable that mobile phones have facilitated our lives in many different ways. 接着可以列举手机使用的几个具体的优点。这种让步和单边论证让步的区别是它可以不用直接在这个段落后面反驳。

　　III 结语

　　让步段在论证过程中有着相当广泛的实战意义，它可以帮助考生扩展文章的字数，达到要求，此外，它还能使得论证过程更加全面，希望为写作取得高分有切实的帮助。

雅思写作：运用“让步”思维赚眼球(二)的延伸阅读——IELTS考试写作技巧之有效的句子要有重点，并且要突出重点

　　同学们已经对IELTS考试的写作有了比较客观的认识，下面两全其美网校城编辑简单总结IELTS考试写作技巧：

　　1. 把重点摆在句首或句尾。

　　一般而论，最显眼的位置是在“句尾，其次是在句首，中间的位置最平淡，乏善可陈。例如：

　　(1) Incorrect grammar and improper construction invariably distract readers'attention.

　　(2) The history of vocabulary is, in many ways, the record of civilisation.

　　把重点放在句尾是种“吊胃口”的方法，读者或听者非得读完或听完整句不可。

　　2. 在复杂句里，把主句放在从句之后。

　　除了名词从句和形容词从句之外，因为它们位置较固定，副词从句中有几种的位置灵活，可以在主句之前出现，

　　也可以跟在主句之后。通常我们就把这样的副词从句提前，重点则放在后头的主句，如(3b)：

　　(3a) I came upon an old classmate when I went to town yesterday.

　　(3b) When I went to town yesterday, I came upon an old classmate.

　　副词短语更是如此，如 (4b):

　　(4a) Steel is commonly used to make knives, razors and other useful tools because of its durability.

　　(4b) Beacuse of its durability, steel is commonly used to make knives,razers and other useful tools.

　　3. 把较重要或有分量的词语放在后头，如(5b)和(6b)：

　　(5a) I was delighted and amused by the classical opera

　　(5b) I was amused and delighted by the classical opera.

　　(6a) That singer's life was tragic and brief.

　　(6b) That singer's life was brief and tragic.

　　4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。例如：

　　(7) Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed.

　　(8) Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education?

　　5. 必要时，重复重要的语词或概念。

　　例如：

　　(9) Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity,

　　and he likes their silence.

　　(10) ...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the

　　nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays.

　　6. 尽量用主动说态，因此(11b)比(11a)好：

　　(11a) A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone.

　　(11b) A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head.

　　7. 适当时候，可用倒装句和平行句，如：

　　(12) Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest

　　lived seven dwarfs.

　　(13) Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred.

　　(14) Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent.
