看到这里,大家是不是有点了解为啥雅思写作能拿7分的人并不一定能把大学作业或者论文写好的原因呢?
另外再给大家分析一下雅思写作和学术写作在遣词用句上有什么差异~
正如上面说的,在学术写作里,使用人称代词(us, I)是非正式用法,只能在特定情况下使用,我们可以通过使用被动语态来避免习惯性地使用第一人称。
学术写作对单词选择和措辞要求也比较高,雅思写作9分可以等同于大学写作水平。
举个例子,我们会经常在科学类的学术论文里面看到major factor这个名词,相比起great和good,overwhelming是一个更加适合与之搭配的形容词。
‘It is often said…’是我们经常在雅思写作中用到的开场白,在学术写作中,更多用到的是In the most recent decades…’ and ‘This essay will examine…’.
具体给大家分析两个例子 IELTS Band 9
It is undeniable that the Internet has led to a dramatic expansion in the number of choices that are available to us. The number of online media options, for instance, is now almost endless. There are countless websites offering entertainment, news, videos, on-demand TV and music streaming, many of which are free. I would argue that this abundance of media leads to confusion on the part of the average user, as we have to make so many decisions about the content that we consume. A personal example of this trend would be the fact that I had a choice of just four TV channels when I was a child, whereas I now have access to thousands of films and series through services like Netflix.

It is undeniable that the Internet has led to a dramatic expansion in the number of choices that are available. The number of online media options, for instance, is now almost endless. There are countless websites offering entertainment, news, videos, on-demand TV and music streaming, many of which are free. There is evidence which suggests that this abundance of media leads to confusion on the part of the average user, as it necessary for users to make so many decisions about what to consume. Hollingworth (2002) provides statistics which show that Netflix users now spends fifteen minutes on average choosing what to watch. This is in contrast to the situation in the UK thirty years ago, when there were just four TV channels.
两段写作的具体比较:
-
再次强调,学术写作不应该使用人称代词,所以‘I would argue…’ 换成了‘There is evidence…’,目前是引入主要的论点(红色)
-
上文提到了雅思写作9分可以等同于大学写作水平,这一段用的词汇都是大家可以参考的用法(橘色)
-
两段写作结构最显着的区别是,学术写作引用了研究来支持其论点。学术写作的主要特征之一,是作者对其他学者和研究人员的思想和研究进行评估和评论
-
同样的,个人经历是不适合用于学术写作中的,应该替换成更大众的例子或者事实
