何为扩展难题?
独立题Task1&2都明确要求考生在答案中给出足够的细节和例子来充实段子。而大多考生都一头雾水,到底何为细节?何种例子适合列举?归根究底就是扩展方向不清晰。
独立题准备时间只有15秒,可以说转瞬即逝,大多考生15秒内能够选定谈论的话题并写下分论点的关键词都实属不易,更何谈理清思路进行细节扩展?45秒回答时间便开始了一轮语无伦次的高谈阔论,内容空泛,不知所以。此为扩展难题!
扩展秘籍第一式:终极细节
所谓终极细节,就好比神经末梢一般,可以说到达了所有细节的末端,那么名字、数字和时间就是再好不过的末端体现了!在答案中毫不吝惜的加入你生活中的名字和数字吧,ETS老奶奶会为它而兴奋跳舞,因为你太会答题了!
每当举例说我的朋友,不要忘记带上朋友的名字;每当谈到做运动,不要忘记加上运动的时间和时长,这就是数字和时间的体现,多么的detailed, 不是吗?总之谨记,我们的扩展原则是:As specific as possible! 越具体越棒!
扩展秘籍第二式:举例
一谈到举例,我们脑中便会冒出for example, for instance等字样,没错!这就是秘籍中的传统举例法,既可以举身边人的例子,也可以谈名人的故事,所谓事实胜于雄辩,就是这个道理;但除此之外,不要忘记,还有一种厉害的招式,那就是列举,一旦答案中谈到many这个词,后面一定要紧跟such as/like,并列举具体项目,使答案充分扩展,例如谈到周末可以做哪些活动,我们可以说We have many ways to relax on weekends, such as reading books, seeing movies or doing sports, like basketball, badminton and so on.
让我们用今年8月26日Task 1的考试真题作为范例,来见识以下第一式和第二式的厉害吧!
例题:University students encounter many difficult challenges in their study. Which challenge do you think is the most difficult one and how do you deal with it? (2017.8.26)
高分范文:Well, when I was 具体时间 in my second year of university, my algebra 代数 teacher 人名 Lisa was so boring that every time I was having her class, I would fall asleep. Since I lost my interest,I couldn't do well in it. Definitely that's the hardship I’ve ever met. To solve this problem, I came to my ladybro 闺蜜人名 Jessie for help. She helped me cope with the problems in a much easier and more efficient way.举例 For example,when I came across a confusing calculus 微积分 problem,she would teach me how to solve it in a smart way and nailed everything down within 具体时间和数字 10 minutes which (必备从句) saved me a lot of time. Later on, I made some progress and achieved higher marks in algebra exams. Finally, I regained confidence in it. That’s how I dealt with this problem. (总结部分不是必须的,有时间说,没时间可以不说)
厉害吧!路本是同样的路,就看你怎么走,练过葵花宝典后,得分要点全都有!
扩展秘籍第三式:对比
曾几何时,你是否有过明明分论点已经写好,却面对滴答滴答的秒表,无言以对,不知所措的时候?那么不要犹豫,赶快翻开破冰剑谱进行修炼吧!破冰剑谱,打破僵局,一共三招:有无对比剑法,过去现在对比剑法,以及各观点对比剑法。
第一招、有无对比剑法
例题:Which of the following three do you think is the most important for a great working environment?
1)Friendly co-workers
2)Flexible hours
3)A helpful boss
高分范文:Personally, I'd like to say that friendly co-workers are the most important factor for the working environment. Firstly, nice colleagues will help a lot to improve work efficiency. For instance, when my cousin Bob first came to his company Microsoft, he even didn’t know how to use the printer there. Fortunately, his colleague Jasmine helped him out in no time. 有无对比By contrast, if some of the co-workers are not so easy-going, we may feel really embarrassed and have less motivation to work. Besides, good relationship between colleagues will give us a good mood. We can hang out to go shopping or have coffee,chat for fun like gossiping about the movie stars,such as Tom Cruise and so on. In a word, friendly co-workers play a very important role in our career.
