想要写好一篇作文,了解AEIS考试作文的基础知识是首要任务,同时加强高级词汇和短语、短句背诵。接着准备一些优秀的范文背诵,并且学以致用。今天新加坡教育网小编具体分析作文中论证的方式:
5种论证类型:
1 事实论证Claims of Fact
*Didit happen?
*Is it true?
*How dowe know this?
2定义论证Claims of Definition
*What is it?
*What is it like?
*How should it be classified?
*How should it be interpreted?
*How does its usual meaning change in a particular context?
3价值论证Claims of Value
*How bad is it? How good?
*How moral or immoral?
*Of what worth is it?
*Who says so?
*What do these people value?
*What values or criteria should I use to determine its goodness or badness?
4因果论证Claims of Cause & Effect
*What caused it?
*Where did it come from?
*What are the effects?
*What probably will be the results on a short or long term basis?
5对策论证Claims of Policy
*What should we do?
*How should we act?
*How can we solve this problem?
*What course of action should we pursue?
对于AEIS作文来说,文章和论证类型并非一一对应;相反,一篇文章通常包含多种论证,或分主次,或同等重要,这要根据文章试图回答的具体问题来看。
下面通过几个例子,具体看看它们分别要求我们进行哪种论证呢?
Art classes, like painting and drawing, are not as important as other subjects, so some people think that it should not be a compulsory subject at high school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
显眼的important一词,提示我们这篇文章最主要的目的是价值论证。
本题要回答的具体问题是:艺术课到底应不应该成为高中必修课。
题干已经给出一个考量因素,即,艺术课的重要性。
我们在写作时,首先要确保自己覆盖到这个点,其次也要从题干涉及到的其他角度来找答案(必修课和选修课,其他科目)。
如果想让文章更有深度,还可以从艺术教育的特殊性,高中教育的目的,甚至是师资力量和经费来源来考察。但所有考察的落脚点都应该回答“艺术课到底应不应该成为高中必修课”这个具体问题,这样才不会偏题。
Children can learn efficiently by watching television, so they should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and in school.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
话题有关孩子看电视和学习,具体考察的是看电视对孩子学习的影响,属于因果论证为主。
这道题要回答的问题是:应不应该鼓励孩子在家和学校定期看电视。
题干给出的考量因素是:看电视能让孩子有效率地学习,这是我们在文中必须回应的。
由于不能忽略对立面观点,所以我们应该承认这种学习效果,合理推进因(看电视)果(效率学习)关系。
其次再从其他角度来谈定期在学校和家中看电视对孩子的影响,以回答到底是否应该鼓励这种行为。
Some people think they have the right to use as much fresh water as they want, while others think fresh water should be tightly controlled by governments because it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
价值论证+因果论证
认为用水不应该受到限制的人,出发点是个人权利,认为花了钱就该得到商品;
认为用水量应该受政府管控的人,出发点是环境利益,认为水是稀缺的自然资源。
该议题本身是一种价值论证,但过程中一定会涉及到因果论证,比如讨论过度消耗水资源对环境的负面影响时。
More and more people buy and use their own car. Do you think the advantages of this trend for individuals overweigh the disadvantages for the environment?
价值论证+因果论证
买车对于个人的好处,主要是价值论证;买车对环境的负面影响,主要是因果论证。
The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damages to the natural environment. What are the causes of this? What can be done to solve this problem?
因果论证+对策论证
追溯污染原因属于因果论证;解决污染问题属于对策论证。
