上一篇 提到,如果本身英文水準一般,即場發揮容易失準。 迅狐建議,準備一些 百搭的「罐頭答案」 吧。不論問題是什麼,都可以隨手開個罐頭,套入去答,再加些 native speakers常用的linking words ,那就perfect了 。 「罐頭答案」可以關於喜歡的地方、書、電影、敬愛的人、難忘的往事、生活群組等。構思時,嘗試套入最少3個topic答都答到。示範一下: 例一、罐頭答案(生活群組): (Hongkongers) might seem like too busy to socalise as they are living among the hustle and bustle of the city . But if you get to know them, you’ll find most of them are actually pretty friendly and helpful. 基本上,只要題目涉及「生活群組」,就可以融入(自行微調啦) Relevant topics: [Hometown] What are the people like in your hometown? [Friend]: Do you think it is easy to make friends in your city? [Neighbours]: Are neighbours usually close to each other in your country? [Work]: Do you get on well with your colleagues? 例二、罐頭答案(book/moive) 迅狐 建議選一個既有書又有拍電影/電視劇的,e.g. Harry Potter, the Lord of Rings, a Game of Thrones I’m really fond of reading (watching movies). Harry Potter is my all-time favourite . It’s a (a movie b...
IELTS雅思的寫作部分(Writing)要求考生在1小時內完成2個tasks。 Writing Task 1俗稱「小作文」,顧名思義,是因為字數(150–200字)、佔分(33.3%)及用時(15–20min)較少。 相對上,Writing Task 2則俗稱「大作文」,字數(250–300字)、佔分(66.7%)及用時(40–45min)較多。 大家報IELTS時,分為學術(Academic)和通用(General Training)兩類。一般而言,申請到外地升學的朋友,會報考Academic;申請移民到英語國家(澳洲、加拿大)的人,會報考General Training。 兩類考試內容非常接近,只是讀寫兩部分有些差異。當中最大分別,就是「小作文」Writing Task 1。 Task 1佔分 33.3%,建議分4段,寫150–200 字,用不多於15–20 min。計分方面,Task Achievement(內容)、Coherence & Cohesion(組織)、Grammar(文法)、Vocab(詞彙)四項各佔25%。可見,由於IELTS是語文試,最重要的不是what you are going to say,it’s more about how you say it。 Source: British Council Academic考圖表分析(e.g. bar chart、pie chart、line graph、table、map和diagram等)。 General Training則考書信寫作(e.g. 投訴信、申請信、推薦信、予以建議/指示/要求的信)。 以下是一道Academic Writing Task 1的題目: Source: British Council Source: British Council 面對Academic Writing Task 1小作文的圖表分析題目, 迅狐 建議用 4段式寫作:Intro + Overview + Point 1 + Point 2 (不用Conclusion,因為與Overview重疊) 1.

無論是IELTS/ DSE/ GMAT/ GRE/ TOFEL的英文作文部分, 迅狐 認為,靈活利用多元化英文句型,是最有用的特分技巧之一。 因為,如果只用深奧的vocab,但句型卻只能用上最簡單的Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O) structure,就像一套破舊西裝上面,襯上亮麗的領呔,考官會覺得很awkward。 迅狐 建議,可以利用以下5種特別句型顯示grammar功架(可以準備checklist逐個tick,make sure自己盡用5種句型): 1. Passive voice (被動式) 例句一、Such measures should be quickly adopted to… (= The government should quickly adopt such measures to …) 例句二、 Such problems could be tackled by … (= We can tackle such problems by…) 2. Relative clause : 例句一、The authorities should adopt these measures. These measures can help… → The authorities should adopt these measures which can help… 例句二、The authorities should adopt these measures. Under these measures , citizens can… → The authorities should adopt these measures under which citizens can… 3. Conditionals (If — then): Type 0 (真理): If water reaches 100 °C, it...
