浅谈雅思大作文写作里的造“势”

       more and more引发的血案

　　大家卖小商品，要吆喝;卖大宗商品要大打广告;大家拍电影要开不同大小的发布会。。。中国人讲究水到渠成，形势比人强。声势和场面出来了，眼球效应来了自然做什么都顺风顺水。雅思大作文考试讨论的也是社会话题，也自然逃不过造势这个过程。记得早期用英文写作时，总喜欢用 With the development of 。。。，more and more 。。。也居然能屡次过关。作文开头需从“势”起，中外文章概莫能外。要谈一事一物，需先让人了解此事此物。以笔者经验，对于雅思阅读list of headings题型，与第一段配对之往往能直接猜出也就是这个道理。在写大作文时，第一段的一个主要任务就是引入讨论问题或现象本身，这个叫入题。也就是笔者要介绍的造“势”。

　　1.借他人之口造势

　　According to a recent survey, a growing number of people express a strong desire to take another job or spend more time on their job in order to get more money to support their family.

　　根据最近的一项调查，越来越多的人表达了想从事另外的工作或加班以赚取更多的钱来补贴家用的强烈愿望。 这个厉害把媒体单位cctv mtv 林业局的调查都拿出来了啊。

　　2. These days, people in growing numbers are beginning to complain that work is more stressful and less leisurely than in past. Many experts point out that, along with the development of modern society, it is an inevitable result and there is no way to avoid it.

　　现在，越来越多的人们开始抱怨工作比以前更有压力。许多专家指出这是现代社会发展必然的结果，无法避免。 这个更厉害了，属于忒有钱的主，居然还有请知名专家啊。

　　3. Although people’s lives have been dramatically changed over the last decades, it must be admitted that, shortage of funds is still the one of the biggest questions that students nowadays have to face because that tuition fees and prices of books are soaring by the day.

　　近几十年，尽管人们的生活有了惊人的改变，但必须承认，由于学费和书费日益飞涨，资金短缺仍然是学生们面临的最大问题之一。 这个看起来就是芸芸众生相里的经济“唱衰”者，实在是“不合潮流”。

　　4. There is a growing tendency for parent these days to stay at home to look after their children instead of returning to work earlier.

　　现在，父母亲留在家里照顾孩子而不愿过早返回工作岗位正成为增加的趋势。 过于平淡的近乎小作文数值型的描述，有点BBC的风格。

       5. Although many experts from universities and institutes consistently maintain that it is an inevitable part of an independent life, parents in growing numbers are starting to realize that people, including teachers and experts in education, should pay considerable attention to this problem.

　　尽管来自高校和研究院的许多专家坚持认为这是独立生活不可避免的一部分，然而越来越多的家长开始意识到包括教师和教育专家在内的人该认真对待这一问题。 这个应该属于上访未遂型，专家也有不*谱的时候啊

　　6. There is much discussion over science and technology. One of the questions under debate is whether traditional technology and methods are bound to die out when a country begins to develop modern science and technology.

　　关于科学技术存在许多争论，其中一个问题是当国家发展现代科学技术时，传统的技术方法是否可能会消亡? 这个由疑问句造势，大致相当于时下流行的所谓“启发式教学”吧。

　　7. Although many people tend to live under the * that traditional technology and methods are still playing extremely important role in people's life, an increasing evidences show that it is less useful than many people think.

　　尽管许多人保持着传统观念，认为传统技术方法在人们生活中仍发挥着重要作用，但是越来越多的证据显示它并没有人们想象的有用。 前面肯定后面否定，这是典型有预谋的造势，貌似请托儿。

　　8. With the opening and reform policy being carried out, thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are crowding into our country. They are eager to see this old mysterious land with a splendid culture of more than 5,000years.

　　随着改革开放政策的贯彻执行，数以万计的外国游人涌入中国。他们渴望参观这个有着5000多年灿烂文化的神秘古国。 彻底退回到伴随状态的石器时代简洁造势阶段。

　　简单归纳了一下，造势引题的主要方式主要有：类似于more and more的短语，包括in growing numbers， on the rise ， a growing number of， an increasing tendency来表示时下或即将流行的趋”势“，另一个是采用伴随状态的with来表达，由熟悉的opening and reform policy或development of economy或social development等入手，再一个从事物的另一面入手，用表示让步的although或though入手，引入正面。
