让步法

I. 概念介绍

经过笔者的整理,在近几年的雅思写作真题中,有一些题目可以将其归为一类,他们的明显特征是,题目中会出现形容词级,only等语气非常绝对的词汇,通常它的问题模式都是To what extent do you agree or disagree。过于绝对的命题显然是站不住脚的,但是又不是全部否定,所以针对这类题型,建议考生可以用让步法来解决此类题目。即正文分两或三段,在正文第一段先承认题目中的观点,再在后两段举一到两个反例。

II. 例题示范

我们通过一个真题来了解这种方法的使用。

1. Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment. Only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

拿到一个大作文题目,我们要先审题,找到题目中的关键词是“improve the environment”,而题目中也出现了我们提到的此类题目的标志性词汇“only”,结合对此类题目的方法分析,我们用让步法先在主体部分第一段同意上述观点(即政府和大公司能实现改善环境的),再提出反对意见(即个人也能发挥作用)。接着就轻松的得出正文的安排,前两段承认政府和公司对改善环境所作的贡献,正文第三段在肯定前两者的基础上提出反驳意见,除了政府和公司,人民在保护环境中也出了力。

先看政府和大公司如何改善环境,政府为促进环境的改善,已经采取了很多的措施(adopt feasible measures),如严厉惩罚污染环境的人和机构,提倡使用环保袋,少用一次性产品(disposable products),另外大公司可以投入资金(investment)寻求探索新能源,彻底解决汽车尾气排放等污染问题。正文前两段结构安排如下:

{原创范例} In an attempt to preserve the environment, the related departments have already settled down a range of effective regulations such as severe punishment, to promote the improvement of environment.

Besides, with ample funds, the large corporations are qualified to exploit and create new products applying clean energies, thus eliminating the contaminations stemming from old energies.

最后,提出个人在保护环境中也能起到关键作用(Perform an essential role in),从小事做起。请看下面结构安排:

{原创范例} Apart from governments and companies, the individuals are well advised to endeavor to make contributions to this campaign, such as refusing to use disposable products.

通过上述正文的论证,我们可以在结尾段得出结论,只有三方共同努力(make joint efforts),对于环境保护才能起促进作用。

2. Housing shortage in big cities can cause severe social consequences. Some people think only government action can solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
