很多同学在练习雅思写作时估计都没有意识到开头段也是一个重要得分点!一个糟糕的作文开头，就像在雅思口语考场上对考官说出的无礼之词一样，无论你在剩下的部分做得有多好，考官还是会因为这个开头感到不满意，从而更有可能打出较低的分数。那到底该如何高效率地花费最少的时间写出一个高分的开头段，让考官啧啧称奇呢?
第一句：改写问题
改写问题就是指使用不同的词对问题进行二次陈述，使其具有相同的含义。这样一方面表明考生有认真阅读题目并紧紧扣题，另一方面也能在一开始就展示出自己对英语的运用实力 。举个例子：
问题是→There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people’s health and well-being.
可以改写成→Rising global temperatures and human fitness issues are often viewed as being caused by the expanding use of automobiles.
其中涉及到的同义替换表达就有：
Increasing- expanding
Car use- use of automobiles
Global warming- rising global temperatures
不止同义替换，我们还可以通过改变语法结构来进行改写，比如上文掌柜就把题目的主动语态改为了被动语态，让整个句子看起来焕然一新。
除了这两个方法，同学们还能用改变词性的方法来改写，比如：
问题是→Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives.
可以改写成→Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people are suggesting that people over the age of sixty-five can continue living full and active lives.
第二句：提出观点
既然是有争议性的话题那么提出自己的观点和想法肯定是必需的，这可以说是整篇文章中最重要的句子之一!如何强有力地展现自己的态度和立场，让文章更清晰、连贯就是同学们要多加研究的问题。
首先观点肯定要跟题型紧密挂钩，不同的题型会要求考生有不同的侧重点，一般大作文的问题类型主要有四种：
同意与否类：“Do you agree or disagree/to what extent do you agree or disagree?”，考生要注意审题，如果题目中是问同意与否,那么答案就最好选择一边不要持中立;如果是问extent，那么可以有3种答案totally、 mostly and partly。
利弊比较类：“Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?” & “Is it a positive or negative development?”，需要考生根据题干中给出的现象，分析该现象引起的利弊中哪方占比更大。
双边讨论类：“Discuss both views and give your own opinion.”，必须要讨论两个观点，并且给出自己的意见。
报告类：“What are the reasons and what solutions can you suggest?”&“What are the effects of this trend on individuals and society?” ，需要考生对于某个现象分析产生的原因及带来的影响或者提供一些可行性较强的建议。
其次就是要识别出题目中的关键词/句，才能更加贴题地想出观点并展现出来。举个例子：
“Computers are being used more and more in education. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.“
Ⅰ. Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. Do you agree or disagree?
就要在观点句中明确表达自己的观点：同意、部分同意还是不同意，然后围绕限定范围”increasing the price of petrol“、”the best way“来给出
This essay disagrees that the best way to resolve increasing pollution and congestion problems is to raise the cost of fuel.
Ⅱ. Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
观点句中要同时体现话题的优点和缺点，并就双方的占比给出鲜明的观点
The principal advantage is that exposing children to languages as early as possible leads to higher levels of proficiency later in life and this outweighs the main disadvantage of young children being overwhelmed by too many subjects.
当然除了上面给出的句式，还有多种句型大家都可以选择，比如：
The main cause(s) of this issue is…..
There could be several reasons why
I completely agree with this view |
