一、擺事實
擺事實是指在行文當中描述一些自己或者熟知的親友的經歷。這樣做的主要目的是用一些細節(jié)向考官展示我們對語言的駕馭能力,同時,通過真人真事引起考官的共鳴。例如:
First, ads disturb our life. Surely, we all have the experience that an insert of the information about a product often interrupts our pleasure of watching an exciting film on T.V, which makes us so annoyed that sometimes we have the impulse to call the T.V station to make a complaint.
What’s more annoying is that you have spent money on a newspaper, but you’ll find that most of the space in the newspaper is occupied by all kinds of disgusting ads about a medicine of dealing with sexual diseases, which has totally violated your previous desire of getting the news about what is happening.
二、列數字
實際上,大家看原汁原味的英文文章會發(fā)現很多作者會列舉一些調查和研究成果來證明自己的觀點,因為這樣比較符合歐美國家人的習慣,在可信度上和擺事實具有異曲同工之妙。比如:
Ad is an effect way to develop economy. As is calculated by the Statistic Bureau of China, 80% of the products in China are promoted and marketed by ads, which has brought almost 20 billion incomes as the tax to the country.
Meanwhile, with the prosperity of ads industry, more job vacancies are created and more revenue is added to the GDP of China.
三、做引用
引用這個詞,我們并不陌生,因為我們中國學生最擅長的就是引經據典,但是事實上,雅思考試當中,我們一般不引用名人名言,除非我們引用的是一個領域里面最頂尖的權威,是眾所周知的人,比如孔子、亞里士多德、柏拉圖等人的名言;或者經過證實了的,為大多數人認為是公理的名言,以及見諸于報紙和電視上的報道等,例如:
In recent time, more and more cases have been reported in newspaper and TV programs about the surprisingly increasing rate of children’s crimes. The situation has become so serious that it has aroused great concern of the whole community.
