小编:长安 231纵观近期的雅思考试,虽然写作部分并没有上过热搜,但是想拿到写作7分对于广大考生来讲依然是比较困难的一件事情。长久以来,写作都是"低调"地为难考生。语言基础较好的同学还可以比较轻松地拿到6分,可是要再增长了0.5甚至1分,真的就让人觉得"难于上青天"了。实际上,苏州环球教育高瑾老师认为除了在审题、逻辑、词汇这三方面做好之外,句法上使用虚拟语气也可以助力写作高分。
一、与过去的事实相反的虚拟语气
用法:从句had done,主句would have done
例句:If Hillary had won the Presidency on November 8th, she would have been the first female president in American history.
在作文中,这类虚拟语气可以用在举例时对过去事情的假设逻辑当中。
比如在这个雅思作文题目中,"most of the worlds' problems are caused by over-population. To what extent do you agree or disagree?"
如果选择同意的立场,就可以来论证当今世界的哪些问题是由人口过多引起的,而且这些问题也是属于比较严重的问题。那谈到人口问题,大家就会不由自主地想到one-child policy,而这个政策是在80年代实施的,如果那时没有这个政策,中国的人口有可能就会更多,而人口众多就会把一个小问题给复杂化。
这个内容的语气就很适合使用虚拟语气:If the one-child policy had not been adopted around China in the 1980s, there would have been perhaps a much large population nowadays.
二、与现在事实相反的虚拟语气
用法:从句did/were,主句would do
例句:If I were to become President of the country, I would abolish all examinations.
这类虚拟语气往往表达和现实情况相反的事情,那么在作文中我们可以采用这类虚拟语气来强调现在事实的重要性或必要性。
再以这个作文题目为例,"People are surrounded by many kinds of advertising which can influence their life. These have positive effects on people's life. Do you agree or disagree?"
在这个题目中,我们可以去分析广告对人们生活的积极影响,例如给消费者提供了丰富多样的资讯,有设计感的广告还给人们带来了艺术的美感和享受。在表达这些内容时,如果直接用一般现在时会显得比较单调,可以改写为虚拟语气:If these advertisements of different products were banned, people would have no opportunity to select their most desirable brand and enjoy the artistic innovation.
虚拟语气虽然会让很多同学非常头疼,甚至是"闻风丧胆",主要是因为虚拟语气的表现形式纷繁复杂,例如在wish之后、would rather从句中、表命令/建议的从句中等等。本文旨在给广大考生挑选出最易上手的虚拟语气形式,直接应用在自己的考场作文当中。大家可以仔细揣摩上述的两种情况,在自己的作文中能够出现一次虚拟语气的句法即可。
虚拟语气虽然高级,但也不可滥用。除了虚拟语气这个提分法宝之外,想要了解并且掌握雅思写作的其他高招妙招,请各位同学移步苏州环球教育,好货在这里等你哦。
