雅思写作怎么拿高分？雅思高分作文的词汇运用

　　很多烤鸭都想明白为什么自己的文章中 明明用了很多高级词汇却还是没办法拿高分。这就要说一下很多烤鸭在写作中都存在的一个误区了，就是认为在写作中使用的词汇越大越好、越高级越好。不可否认这确实可以为写作添光添彩，但是必须是在用对用好的前提下。但大家常常再用这些高级词汇是都会拼写错误、用法错误等，那效果就会使得其反了。那雅思高分写作中体现水平的词汇到底是怎么样的呢?小编这就带你了解。

　　我们先来看看《剑桥雅思》(13)中，考官对一篇7分作文使用的词汇所做的评价：

　　词汇丰富，显示出一定的准确性和灵活度，有不太常见的用词，文体正式，搭配正确。比如：complex; list of favourites; fits...my ability;specific area; many available channels.

　　很明显，7分作文词汇需要一定的幅度，同时需要正式的文体和正确的搭配，不能有过于口语或方言式的表达。(这里顺便说一句，被很多雅思老师推崇的“I reckon”，在表达“I suppose/think”这个意义时，其实只是一种特定群体才用的方言，不适合用于雅思作文中。)那么，“一定幅度的词汇”指哪些词汇呢?看看考官举出的例子：complex, favorite, specific, available......，我们发现，所谓高分词汇，其实不是那些吓人的词汇，而是一些相对不常用的普通词汇而已。按照老雅的估算，雅思写作高分词汇幅度大约可以定位在大学英语四级词汇表里的中高段词汇，也就是4000-5000那些词汇。

　　现在，我们一起看一篇《剑桥雅思》考官提供的雅思高分写作(黑体部分是高分词汇/组)。

　　题目：Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree? (剑桥雅思9，test 2)

　　高分范文：It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community services as a compulsory part of high school programmes. Most of the colleges are already providing opportunities to give work experience, however these are not compulsory. In my opinion, sending students to work in community services is a good idea as it can provide them with many sorts of valuable skills.

　　Life skills are very important and by doing voluntary work, students can learn how to communicate with others and work in a team but also how to manage their time and improve their organisational skills. Nowadays, unfortunately, teenagers do not have many after-school activities. After-school clubs are no longer that popular and students mostly go home and sit in front of the TV, browse the Internet or play Video games.

　　By giving them compulsory work activities with charitable or community organisations, they will be encouraged to do something more creative. Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an asset on their CV but also increase their employability. Students will also gain more respect towards work and money as they will realise that it is not that easy to earn them and hopefully will learn to spend them in a more practical way.

　　Healthy life balance and exercise are strongly promoted by the NHS, and therefore any kind of spare time charity work will prevent them from sitting and doing nothing. It could also possibly reduce the crime level in the high school age group. If students have activities to do, they will not be bored and come up with silly ideas which can be dangerous for them or their surroundings.

　　In conclusion, I think this is a very good idea, and I hope this programme will be put into action for high schools and colleges shortly.

　　大家可以看看黑体字标示出来的高分词汇和词组，里面并无炫酷的大词汇：involve, provide, valuable, organisational, browse, creative, asset, practical, promote, shortly，这些词汇即使在大学英语四级词汇表里，也算不上最难的词汇。而且这还是所谓的“9分作文”，如果烤鸭的目标仅仅是7分，还可以进一步将其中某些词汇简单化。比如这句：Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an asset on their CV but also increase their employability. 如果考鸭对 “an asset on...”和“employability”的用法不熟悉，可以将本句改为：Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an attractive part of their CV but also help them find a job. 此外，评论一下本范文最后一段中的 “I think this is a very good idea”。很多雅思老师或雅思书籍上的规则都告诉学生，不要用I think，不要用good, 不要用a very good idea，因为这些太简单，太口语化。但事实上，在高分范文中，类似表达并不少见。我们反对的是通篇使用这样简单的表达法(因为没有幅度)，但这并不意味着这些表达法本身不能用在雅思写作中。在一篇250字左右的作文中，如果有10个左右词汇属于以上我们定义的高分词汇(即四级词汇表中的中高段词汇)就够了，其余240个词汇就用2000左右的一般词汇就可以了。
