8分作文,主题:体育与政治
Topic: Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.
Every four years, the whole world stops to watch international sporting events such as the Olympics and the Football World Cup in which athletes show their best performance to make their country proud of them. These sporting occasions have proved to be helpful in easing international tensions in difficult times when powerful leaders were trying to control the world’s economy and other governments were fighting over land.
很常规的开头,简单的陈述事实,之后提出论点,这也是IELTS写作最普通也最保险的一种开头方法,能够有效控制范围,免得开头什么都想说一下,最后搞得头重脚轻~
The Olympic Games are one of the best examples which prove how sporting events can bring nations together, at least temporarily. From ancient History, when Greeks and Romans would interrupt battles to participate in the games, to the more recent international disputes, when athletes from Palestine and Israel would forget their differences, compete pacifically and even embrace each other after an event. Moreover, these popular events have called the world’s attention to the terrible consequences of wars; thus some leaders have tried to accept agreements to end their dispute and live peacefully.
第二段呼应论点,用古希腊和古罗马,以及巴勒斯坦和以色列的例子说明体育运动在缓和国家关系,促进世界和平上的作用。属于正面论述。
Similarly, international sporting events show benefits in some developing countries which live in a daily internal civil war. For example, Brazil has a high rate of unemployment, lack of education, hunger, crime, poverty and corruption which leads to an immense embarrassment of being Brazilian and a low self-esteem. However, when the Football World Cup starts, the Brazilian squad, which is considered the best team in the world, provokes an amazing feeling of pride in their country. Most people seem to forget all their problems and even the criminal activity decreases. They paint roads with the national colors, use wear the Brazilian team shirt and buy national flags. Moreover, the competition brings families and neighbors together and even rival gangs watch the games and celebrate peacefully.
第三段继续正面论述,说明体育运动不仅在国与国之间的关系中,在缓和国内矛盾上也有特别的作用。
几个描述social problem的词语可以学习一下:unemployment---------失业
lack of education---------教育匮乏
hunger---------饥饿
crime---------犯罪
poverty---------贫穷
corruption---------政府腐败
In conclusion, popular sporting events play an important role in decreasing international tensions and liberating patriotic feelings as History has shown.
顺着刚才两段的正面分析,自然而然的得出结论。
总评:纵观全文,是不是有种感觉,发现原来8分的作文也不过如此?没有刻意考虑逻辑,转承,句式变换,和举多么distinguish的例子,无数写作教材所教的,并被我们所熟悉并且发誓要烂熟于心的模板,套句不见了,没有了last but not least, in my opinion, it is undoubtly之类的句子了,取而代之的是朴实的词汇和语言,但是,就是一篇这样“Simple”的essay,读起来却让人感觉很舒服,很流畅。
引用以前在G版看到的一个帖子里所说的:“我认为一切新东方(的作文课)和模版全是骗子!包括北美范文也是骗子!(但我没说不用看,我之后要说我对用北美的经验) 虽然这一切在复习作文的初期功不可没,但是请你去看看那些6分官方范文吧,哪一个是正经文绉绉说话的?就好像我们说中文,问你今天吃饭没,你说我妈叫我晚上回去用膳.你会没有抽它的冲动吗?范文只是说的很流畅,很顺畅.然后可以把自己的逻辑顺下来,甭管那逻辑是不是严密,是不是具有独创性和创新性啥的.并且正确的语法我认为要比用低频词重要.”

没错!虽然说的是GRE写作,但是我觉得同样适用于IELTS。
语言是表达我们思想的工具,而思想是深深植根于我们的内心的,不会因为换了一种语言,你的思想就没了。
恰恰相反,我们现在所遇到的最大的问题,就是在写作的过程中过分的依赖什么无敌模板,黄金句式,思想被语言所束缚,难怪会抱怨写起来很费劲,无话可说也就不足为奇了,因为你脑子里想的都是怎么找模板,找句式,最后写完只能是一种感觉---我根本不是在说人话!
我们并不是反对不看别人的文章,不学习别人的语言,譬如我们经常会在写中文的时候,用到以前看过的精彩的句子,就举个例子来说吧,我们在高考写作文的时候,想的是如何让自己的文章出彩出奇,反而到了现在,只不过是换了种语言,就被绑住了。实在是不应该啊!
所以,从这篇简单的范文中,我们是不是也能学到一些“黄金句式”之外的东西呢?
照例放上原文出处的评论:This is a great essay, the ideas, language, structure of paragraphs and sentences, grammar show high level of English. In my opinion it is Band 8. Keep up the good work!
