雅思基础写作第四讲动词与非谓语动词
动词概况
定义：
表示动作或状态的词叫做动词。
可分为四类，分别是：实义动词、系动词、助动词、情态动词。有些情况下，有些动词是兼类词：
We are having a meeting.
He has gone to New York.
分类：
1.实义动词--- play, eat, murder, investigate
2.系动词
本身有词义，系动词后面必须接表语，用来说明主语的状况、性质、特征等。
be;
seem, look, appear;
remain, keep, stay;
feel, smell, sound, look;
become, turn, grow, fall;
prove, turn out
翻译：
这谣言证明有假。
他开会时总是保持沉默。
他看起来很生气。
这花闻起来很香。
他梦想成为一名保安。
3.助动词---be, have, do, shall, will, should, would
协助主要动词构成谓语动词的词叫助动词。助动词自身没有词义，不可单独使用：He doesn't like English.
助动词协助主要动词完成以下功用，可以用来：
a. He is singing.
He has got married.
b. He was sent to England.
c. Did you study English before you came here?
d. I don't like him.
e. Do come to the party tomorrow evening.

4.情态动词---must, need, can, may, should, dare , ought to, have to
情态动词用法？
Exercise: find all the verbs that are contained in the following passage.
A good chess player
A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game in astonishment for a while. "I can hardly believe my eyes!" he exclaimed. "That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."
"Nah, he's not so smart," the friend replied. "I've beaten him three games out of five."
非謂語動词：讓句子簡潔有力
定义：在句子中充当除谓语以外的句子成分的动词形式叫做非谓语动词。

2015年6月6日雅思写作（一） 题目类别society 提问方式Discussion 考试题目 Some people prefer to provide help and support directly to those in their local community who need it. Others, however prefer to give money to national and international charitable organizations. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 有人认为给需要救助的人自己的帮助更加可取，有人认为给有需求的国家或国际援助组织提供经济援助更加重要，讨论两种观点，给出你的意见。 Although people in industrialized countries lead a high standard of living, it is undeniable that there are still 1.2 billion people living below the poverty line. In order to solve poverty-related problems, I feel that all kinds of help should be encouraged and respected. Giving a helping hand to those who are in need in the local community seems reasonable. It is because even in the richest countries, there are still a lot of people, such as disabled people and orphanages, suffering from famine and extreme poverty. For this reason, it is easy and convenient for us to help our fellow citizens, such as donating food or clothing to them, so that we can see the result of our actions immediately. By contrast, it is rather difficult to track expenditure of international aids, which might result in corruption in some cases. Those who donate money to domestic and international charities believe that the collection of money has a tremendous effect on the poor countries compared with other forms of help. This is because few people are able to donate a large amount of money to construct schools, hospitals and roads in poor areas. Instead, governments and charities can achieve this. International aids can also purchase vaccines which are available in developed countries by using the money raised worldwide and save millions children’s life. In my view, minor proportion of donated money and other sorts of help should be appreciated equally as long as the money reaches to those who need it desperately. The government could run campaign and encourage door-to door help. At the same time, charitable organizations should make every penny count for donors.(word count：274)
与大家分享7个雅思写作高分倒装句句型，雅思写作高分需要大家能够用到一些比较复杂的句型，倒装句就是一个。倒装句句型在考生的雅思写作中并不常见，所以大家如果能把倒装句恰当的应用到雅思写作中就会产生一种意想不到的效果。 1. But unpopular as red has been in the past, at the moment it is a favorite hair dye. 结构：全句有2个谓语动词：has been和is.其中，as引导的让步状语从句是一个部分倒装句，按照正常语序应该是Although red has been unpopular in the past.句子可被拆分为， 1). Red has been unpopular in the past. 2). But at the moment it is a favorite hair dye. 翻译：尽管过去红色不怎么流行，现在却是一种备受欢迎的染发颜色。 2. Only when he has lost his way does he realize that he wasn't careful enough to make sure that he really did understand. 结构：全句有4个谓语动词：has，does realize，wasn't和did understand..其中主句的是does realize.本句话是以only开头的强调句，其所强调的是when引导的条件状语从句。第一个that引导的是realize的宾语从句。第一个that引导的是make sure的宾语从句。 翻译：只有当他迷了路，他才明白到当时自己不够谨慎，没有确定自己是否真的懂了。 3. Only by becoming wealthier can countries correct these conditions. 结构：全句只有1个谓语动词：can correct.本句话是以only开头的强调句，其所强调的是方式状语by becoming wealthier.按照正常语序应该是：Countries can correct these conditions only by becoming wealthier.由only引导的倒装句句型是可以在雅思写作中发挥很大作用的，因为only表达的意思的唯一性和句式的复杂性都可以吸引考官。 翻译：一个国家只有通过变得富强才能纠正这些问题。 4. Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. 结构：全句有3个谓语动词：were，should have和should hesitate.其中主句的是：should hesitate.本句是一个条件式虚拟倒装句。前半部分是一个if引导的条件状语从句，按照正常语序为：If it were left to me to decide…。whether引导的是decide的宾语从句。 翻译：如果由我来决定是有政府无报纸还是有报纸无政府，我会毫不犹豫选择后者。 5. Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of a greement that certain things and actions are “good” and others are “bad”.
慎小嶷十天突破雅思口语总结1

大作文举例只会用if？是时候换换啦 ——条件状语从句在写作中的应用 王洪亮 今天跟大家分享一个老生常谈的知识点，什么叫做条件状语从句呢？通俗来讲，往往由引导词if或unless引导的状语从句叫做条件状语从句。在英文中，条件是指某一件事情实现之后，其它事情才能发生，通常译作“假如”。在写作中，条件状语从句十分好用，拿过来就能用，可以起到很好的突出强调作用。 一提到条件句，很多同学马上就会想用if来引导。首先，我们一起来看以下七个句子：Part A： 1 You can borrow my dictionary if you return it before you go home. 2 You cannot go to university if you do not have good grades. 3 Pollution will get worse if we continue to live in a throwaway society. 4 Many developed countries are willing to waive the Third World debt if the mon-ey is reinvested in education and medicine. 5 Some countries will never be able to rectify their deficits even if they work hard. 6 Computers are difficult things to understand, even if you read a lot of books about them. 7 Crime is a problem, even if you go to relatively safe countries. 这些句子都是由if 引导的条件句（ even if 可以是条件也可以是让步状语从句），这些句子固然很好，但是是不是有些千篇一律呢？条件状语从句不仅仅限于if，下面给大家介绍一些可以替换if 的方式。我们分别用以下短语来替换上面七句话中的if ： providing that （假如） / unless (除非） / as long as （只要） / on condition that （如果，条件是）/ no matter how （不管怎样）/ however many （无论多少）/ wherever （无论什么地方） 第一句话可以直接用providing that ( 也可以用provided that ) 来替换if 1 You can borrow my dictionary providing that you return it before you go home. 第二句话可以把if not 换成unless 2 You cannot go to university unless you have good grades. 第三句话可以直接用as long as 替换if 3 Pollution will get worse as long as we continue to live in a throwaway society. 第四句话可以直接用on condition that 替换if 4 Many developed countries are willing to waive the Third World debt on condi-tion that the money is reinvested in education and medicine. 第五句话用no matter how 直接替代if 5 Some countries will never be able to rectify their deficits even if they work hard.
雅思写作地图题深度解析（上） 朗阁海外考试研究中心姜芮 在雅思小作文中，流程图和地图题无疑对于广大考生来说都有不小的威胁，很多考生在遇到此类型的题目时，会变得手足无措，不知道应该从何写起。许多考生抱着侥幸的心里，往往不重视此类小众题目的备考，结果作文分数受到了很大的影响。在本系列文章中，朗阁海外考试研究中心写作组的专家将着重对雅思写作地图题做一个深度解析。 我们用两个经典的地图题真题为例，在近两年出现的数次地图题中，多数都是属于这类“三格地图”。 WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The diagram below shows the development of the village of Kelsby between 1780 and 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. 在审题过程中我们需要特别注意以下几点： 1. 时态：关注时态是小作文能否取得高分的关键，同样对于地图题，我们也应该很好地注意时态，本文的时间是明确的，都是过去的时间，因此全文应当使用一般过去时。 2. 顺序：该图属于动态的地图题，这种类型的地图题一律按照时间顺序来写。在这道题中，也就是按照图的顺序依次来写，不要把元素拆开。如果是静态的地图题（即不涉及时间变化的题型），则按照空间顺序来写。在描述单幅地图时，我们可以采取上北下南的顺序描述，或者从左到右的顺序也可以，但值得注意的是，如果地图上有明显的方向标示，那就要根据这个标示来描述。 下面我们一起来分析文章的写作。 第一段：Introduction 引言段就是把题目进行改写。原文中的diagram，可以替换成figure，原文中的shows，可以改为illustrate, demonstrate, reveal, indicate等词。宾语development，可以替换成transformations，也可以改为宾语从句how the village of Kelsby developed/ changed. 题目中给出的时间比较模糊，可以具体化为in 1780, 1860 and 2000. 【例文】The three maps illustrate how the village of Kelsby changed in 1780, 1860 and 2000. 第二段：描述1780年的地图 1780年的情况只涉及到静态的数据，因此只需要用存在句即可表达，不涉及任何变化的单词。但是，考生非常容易把这些元素全部用there be这个句型来表达，从而导致句式单一。表示存在的句型除了there be之外，还有非常简单的have句型，还有lie/ be located/ be situated这样的结构。另外还有一种倒装句型，比如“桌子上面有一本书”，可以翻译为on the desk is a book. 除此之外，要注意几个元素的顺序问题。这里有四大元素：住宅区homes，树林woods，农场farms，还有一条河流river。理论上只要按照一定的空间顺序（比如顺时针、逆时针，从左到右）都是可以的，但是要考虑家庭数量的变化是导致其它所有变化的根本原因，因此建议先写住宅区homes。 还有就是土地单位的表达，land是不可数名词，因此不能说a land，只能说a piece of land。为了表达更加精确，可以用a plot of land（一小块），a stretch of（一长片），a large expanse of（一大片）。 另外朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒考生们还要注意方位词的表达。地图题中常用的方位词有：in the east/ west/ south/ north of ...; in the eastern/ western/ southern northern part of ...; 如果是在角落，可以用in the southwestern corner of ...; 在河流的上/下游：at the lower/ upper reaches of the river; 在河岸：alongside the riverbank; 在河流的南端：at the southern end of the river.
雅思写作名词性从句翻译练习 一主语从句 1.It 开头的主语从句 我们保护野生动物是势在必行的。 人们普遍认为教育在一个国家的发展中发挥着重要的作用。 2.Whether 引导的主语从句 石油价格上升是否可以解决环境问题是一个有争议的话题。 手机给我们带来更多的危害还是好处引起了激烈的争论。 3.What 引导的主语从句 贫穷国家最需要的不是金钱，而是先进的技术和关键领域的人才。 他们所担心的是广告可能会产生的负面影响。 二宾语从句 很多人认为我们已经进入了一个丢弃式社会。（环境）
一些人认为改善公众健康的最好办法就是增加体育设施，其他一些人认为这个方法收效甚微 这篇文章将讨论为什么“幸福”很难定义以及哪些因素会影响幸福的获得。 教授在演讲中谈到了留学生可能会遇到哪些问题以及如何解决 三表语从句 常用句式 1one advantage of something is that…..…的好处主要在于? 2one disadva ntage of someth ing is that ......... 的弊端主要在于 3one cause of something is that ......... :的一个原因在于… 4列举原因的 1.2.3. One reas on of sth. is that … Another factor to be considered is that ….. The last eleme nt is that … 5解决措施的 1.2.3. One possible solutio n is that … Ano ther measure to be take n is that … The last acti on we should take is that … 在城市禁养宠物有很多原因。一个原因是它可能会危害人们的健康，另外一个原因就是会污染环境。
General Knowledge 注意： 1. 作文要有实质内容。 2. 6分：260~270个词左右；6.5分：280个词以上。 3. 没有必要一定写长难句，但要提高句子的准确度和多样性。必须在对英语造句知识准确理解和把握的基础上流畅地写出复杂的长句子，而不是刻意、机械地拉长句子。（准确、严密、多样、清晰） 4. 对于零星出现的少量拼写错误，只要不引起歧义，是不会导致严重扣分的，但要努力减少作文里出现拼写错误的可能。 5. 考场里没有时间打草稿，但可以在印考题的试题纸上把看到题目后头脑里闪现出的ideas、考前准备的相关加分词汇和句型大致记录一下。 6. 当考官要求停笔时即使还没有写完也一定要停下来，否则会被判为违纪行为。 7. 考前练习一定要尽可能模拟实战：下载标准格式的答题纸；用铅笔写作，每行10~12个单词；严格控制时间，Task 1不应超过25 min，Task 2不应超过45 min。备考初期，可将Task 1和Task 2分开练习，但在考前一周内，必须演练完整的写作考试全程，严格控制时间，写完后再核对或请有经验的老师批改。 8.
如果Task 2准备得较为充分，有信心在40min写出一篇自己满意的议论文，那么就先完成Task 2。反之，就先写Task 1。 9. 齐头式：每段开头顶格写，每两段之间空一行 缩入式：每段开头后退3~4个字母的距离，每个段落之间不空行 10. 可使用I/we、被动语态，但不宜滥用；可将But/So放在句首 11. 7分或以上的作文对于用词的要求是准确，而不是冗长 ?Topics ?学术类写作的特殊要求 1. 不接受缩写形式 2. 不使用非正式口语表达 3. 英美拼写不能混淆 4. 用词要有特色 5. 句式不能过于短促 6. 句式不能过于干瘪 7. 感情色彩不能过于强烈
雅思写作题目解析：年轻人不快乐的原因抽象类： In some countries, young people are not only richer but also safer and healthier than ever before. However, they are less happy. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest? 在一些国家，年轻人更加富有，安全，健康，但是，他们还是不快乐，原因何在，如何解决? 思路拓展：幸福的源泉 1. 做自己喜欢的事情 2. 学习的乐趣 3. 朋友带来的乐趣 4. 生活的简单轻松 5. 梦想的实现年轻人不快乐的根源： 客观上： 1. 有些青少年来自单亲家庭，或者是暴力家庭，缺乏温暖和关爱，很难快乐。 2. 应试教育和填鸭教学使很多成长中的年轻人不堪重负，更谈不上发展自己的兴趣爱好，放松休闲，所以，很多年轻人不快乐。 主观上：
1. 幸福感其实和自我的期待值相关，欲望好像是盐水，越喝越渴。有时候，年轻人想要提升自我，但是，又缺乏力量，想要后退，又不甘心，欲求不得的焦虑正是不快乐的根源之一。 2. 罗素在论及快乐的时候提及朋友和爱好能够是快乐的重要源泉，所以，个人爱好很少以及交际圈很小的人，很难获得更多快乐。 解决策略： 1. 父母承担对于子女的责任，为他们营造快乐健康的成长环境。 2. 教育者协助学生们调整心态，同时，缓解学业负担，丰富校园活动。 3. 年轻人积极交友，培养乐观人生态度，发展个人爱好，获得更多快乐源泉。 原创语料库： 1. numerous youngsters = a great many teenagers = a number of young people n 很多年轻人 2. youngsters = teenagers = adolescents = the young = young adults = those who are in the formative years n 年轻人 3. acquire = attai n 二 obtai n v 获得... 4. well-being = pleasure = happiness n 幸福 5. feel cheerful = feel delighted = feel happy v感到快

题目类别教育与科技提问方式利弊判断 考试题目 Some people say that playing computer games is bad for children in every aspect. Others say that playing computer games can have positive effects on the way children develop. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 分析：教育与科技、教育与媒体可谓是雅思考试的热点，而且这些话题跟广大考生们息息相关。平时对生活多一些思考，备考期间针对话题词汇和句型多写多练，这些都是理想分数的 保障。 文章结构：4段 首段：导入话题，表达立场。 主题段1：玩电脑游戏对孩子的各方面有害。 主题段2：玩电脑游戏对孩子的成长有利。 结尾段：总结上文，重申立场。 In recent years, the prevalence of computer games has exerted a significant effect on children’s life. As to whether they affect children negatively, there is an endless debate. Despite the fact that playing computer games is an effective way to relieve pressure, the problems associated with study and health cannot be neglected. Clearly, playing computer games is regarded as a main factor leading to poor academic performance. With the entertaining nature, computer games will easily distract children from their studious pursuits. With the passage of time, children will probably fall behind their peers in academic development. In addition, when children spend too much time playing computer games, they are less likely to participate in physical activities, which is one reason why many children suffer from obesity. As a result, these overweight children’s confidence may be undermined and their health may be negatively influence as well. Despite these disadvantages, the advantages can still not be ignored. First of all, the latest research shows that game-playing helps children to home their communication and interpersonal skills. In many cases, players work together in teams to achieve goals, competing against other players. Therefore, their social skills and teamwork spirit are put to the test. Also, computer games can have positive and therapeutic effects on players. Games provide an opportunity for children to decompress and tune out of strains and stresses of everyday life. Giving their time to rest is critical for emotional and mental well-being. In conclusion, it is not advisable for children to play computer games, for the reasons that it not only has a negative impact on their study, but also makes them lose confidence, although computer games provide a form of relaxation.
