撰寫雅思作文時,要如何有邏輯地寫出你的觀點並獲得高分呢?Jade在《engVid》中要告訴你它的公式──從問題、轉折到舉例,就不會總是卡關了!
假設今天的題目是──年長者看護費用應該由政府,還是家庭來負擔。
1. 問題
你可以丟出問題給讀者,在寫問題時,你可以不用一直寫”should”,可以用is the government responsible for this? 例如:
Should the government or family pay for the care of elderly people?
“年長者照護的費用,應該由政府還是家庭來負擔?”
Should the government be responsible for providing care for elderly people?
“年長者照護應該由政府來負責?”
接著你可以寫:
This question generates a lot of debate because… 或
Opinion is divided about this issue because… 或
Most people / politicians think that…
2. 用while帶出兩方觀點
你可以寫出看護費用為何引起爭議的原因,接著用while敘述雙方意見不同,最後再用In my opinion來表示你的看法。
The care of elderly people is expensive, therefore, there is debate should who should pay for it.
“由於看護費用很昂貴,因此由誰來支付這個費用引起許多爭議。”
While some people think the government should pay, others think the family should pay.
“有些人認為政府應該支付這筆費用,然而有其他人認為這應該由家庭自己支付。”
In my opinion, there are strong arguments on both sides.
“我認為,雙方討論十分激烈。”
在In my opinion這段,你也可以先寫你認為誰該來付;如果沒寫,就可以放到最後一段再寫。
3. 舉例
你可以舉例你的國家實行制度,再用However來反寫另一個國家是如何的制度。最後在寫出你的意見,你偏向由政府負擔還是家庭負擔。
In Nepal, the family is responsible for the care of their elderly parents, therefore they must pay for their care.
“在尼泊爾,年長者照護的費用會由家庭支付,因此,費用應該由家庭來支付。”
However, in Britain the situation is different, perhaps because the family life is different.
“然而,英國的情況不一樣,可能是因為他們的家庭生活方式有所不同。”
In my opinion,…
“我的意見是…”
