想想一些社会你认知的【现实】phenomenon/experience 作为题目的引子丶或者定义一些字眼。
现: 现实定义When we talk of immigrants, they are people who have decided to leave their home country, their families, and their familiar customs.(当我们讲到「新移民」,他们是那些已决定离开自己祖国丶家庭和他们所熟悉的习俗的人。)
现: 现实切入The experience of an immigrant can never be rosy as they might have expected but be stressful.(新移民的经历不一定如期望般璀璨,甚至压力重重。)
现: 现实例子 An immigrant may ask himself, ’will the citizens of this newly adopted home be willing to accept my own old ways or customs I have left behind or vice versa?’
(一位新移民在自问: 「新居地的市民会愿意接纳我已离弃的旧生活方式/习惯吗? 相反,我自己又能接受新生活吗?」)
所以,要掌握第一个铺垫就是【现】。很多时候,【现】→会揭示出「他」人的看法。
表: 立场 We have established the fact that… 表: 方案 We strongly suggest that every possible effort be made …..
As far as I am concerned, more effort should be made in order to…
其实这些例句模组,在网络上是多得不得了的。其实不在乎你用哪一句,marker看的是你的【前後铺垫】!评分不会只看一句丶两句的,marker给分是以整体看,其实表达立场是【起承转合】的必然手段only。
所以,要掌握第三个铺垫就是【表】–>【启後/承上】。
4. 【理】理据:why? How?
你的论点必须有【理据】作依据。这里有4条思路:
i. Advantages可以成为理据丶
ii. 避免Disadvantages也可以成为理据丶
iii. 要完成Target也是个理据。
iv. 怎样作how都可以成为理据。
理:with例子In Africa, wild animals help local people earn their livelihood and support them to raise their families, as well as …
(在非洲,野生动物帮助当地人赚取生计和支持他们养家。还有…)
Admittedly….(承认漏动)However…(堵漏)
After all….(毕竟)
It is true that…However…
I am not denying the value of importance…
这些都是常用的「连接词」。
让Admittedly, I am not saying that all people should keep themselves away from others…After all, all people in the society need one another in a certain extent…(承认漏洞+堵漏)
所以,要第五个铺垫就是【让】–>【堵漏】。
