2.1 雅思大作文的评分标准
学习雅思大作文,我们首先要分析一下评分标准。如果我们都不知道剑桥雅思的要求是什么, 自己一味埋着头按照国内英文考试的思维和套路写,就不可能获得好的成绩。
雅思大作文(task 2)的评分标准有四项,分别是:
标准1:Task response(写作任务回应)
标准2:Coherence and cohesion(连贯与链接)
标准3:Lexical resources(词汇丰富程度)
标准4:Grammatical range and accuracy(语法多样性及准确性)
为了方便上课讲解,我一般都将四个评分标准缩写成TR,CC,LR,GRA
剑桥雅思的官网上有不同分数作文的一些特点,我在这里节选了6 分和7 分作文描述的中英文对照,因为这两个分数段是大部分考生的目标分数段。
