今天為大家?guī)淼氖茄潘紝懽髦幸朔Q代詞的使用。
人稱代詞,即:"I", "you", "we" and "they"。
有的人認(rèn)為雅思論文中不應(yīng)該使用人稱代詞。因?yàn)閷W(xué)術(shù)類文章不提倡使用人稱代詞。
學(xué)術(shù)類論文確實(shí)不宜使用人稱代詞。但是雅思論文與大學(xué)論文或是期刊雜志上發(fā)表的學(xué)術(shù)性論文相比有著很大的差別。
你在大學(xué)寫的論文往往需要引用,并注明摘要。
但是在寫雅思論文時,你并沒有這些參考資料。你所有的只是你的個人經(jīng)歷和僅僅40分鐘的時間。
雅思寫作的題干其實(shí)就很明確的表示了要求我們利用自身經(jīng)歷和知識來進(jìn)行論證。原文如下:
"Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge".
如果雅思寫作中不能使用人稱代詞,那么題干中的這句話也就毫無意義。
所以,在論述過程中,你可以由相關(guān)的所見所聞所感展開論證。
而且,有的詢問個人觀點(diǎn)的題目也是很主觀的,例如:
"To what extent do you agree or disagree?"
"Discuss both opinions and give your opinion".
誠然, 雅思論文是學(xué)術(shù)的形式,但卻不同于普通的學(xué)術(shù)寫作。相比之下,雅思寫作更加的主觀,所以使用人稱代詞是很合理的。
Where can I use personal pronouns in essays and how often?
使用人稱代詞在雅思作文中是可以的,但是我們也不要過多使用人稱代詞。過多使用人稱代詞將導(dǎo)致文章失去了學(xué)術(shù)性質(zhì)。
但是在需要的情況下使用幾次還是能夠接受的。例如,在論文陳述中使用人稱代詞來表達(dá)觀點(diǎn):
"In my opinion, students should not have to wear school uniforms".
"I do not believe that students should wear school uniforms".
"I agree that wearing school uniforms is necessary for the following reasons".
使用人稱代詞的另一個好處就是能夠清晰地表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)。
閱卷者往往希望考生在觀點(diǎn)性論文中表達(dá)了明確的個人觀點(diǎn)。而這個時候非人稱代詞就顯得不夠用。因?yàn)槿绻皇褂萌朔Q代詞,考官有可能會認(rèn)為文中的觀點(diǎn)并非你個人的觀點(diǎn)。
這并不是說你非使用人稱代詞不可。但對寫作水平不高的考生來說,使用人稱代詞來明確個人觀點(diǎn)是的方法,這往往能避免閱卷者的誤解。
讓我們看一篇范文的結(jié)尾。在這個結(jié)尾中,就非常明確的表示出了寫作者的態(tài)度和看法,避免了可能會發(fā)生的誤解。
On balance, I would argue that although it is not realistic to remove all opportunities for privately funded research, governments should have the main responsibility for the monitoring and controlling of this. Strong checks and balances need to be in place to ensure future research is ethical and productive.
What about in body paragraphs?
如上文中所言,當(dāng)我們需要引用自身經(jīng)歷,或是表達(dá)個人觀點(diǎn)的時,通常需要用到人稱代詞。幾次當(dāng)然沒有問題,但小編再次提醒各位考生不要濫用人稱代詞。否則你的論文會顯得很不正式。
讓我們通過一篇范文來領(lǐng)會如何有效地使用人稱代詞。
題目:
Many old buildings protected by law are part of a nation’s history. Some people think they should be knocked down and replaced by news ones.
How important is it to maintain old buildings?
Should history stand in the way of progress?
范文:
Most nations around the world have at least some, or possibly many, old buildings such as temples, churches and houses in their cities, villages and surrounding areas which have historical significance. In my opinion, it is very important to maintain these, but this does not mean progress should stop.
Preserving certain old buildings is important for several reasons. Firstly, these structures provide an insight into the history of our countries, showing how people many centuries ago lived their lives. Without them,we could only learn by books, and it would undoubtedly be sad if this were the only way to see them. Many of these buildings are also very beautiful. Take for example the many religious buildings such as churches and temples that can be seen around the world. Not only this, but on a more practical level, many of these buildings provide important income to a country as many tourists visit them in great numbers.
However, this certainly does not mean that modernization should be discouraged. I believe that old buildings can be protected in tandem with progress. For example, in many circumstances we see old historic buildings being renovated whilst maintaining their original character, and being used for modern purposes. Also, in no way does history hinder progress, and in fact it is the opposite. By studying and learning about our history, a greater understanding is gained about the world welive in, and this helps to build a better future.
To conclude, in my view it is very important to protect and preserve old buildings as we can learn about our history as can others from other countries. Such knowledge can also help us to understand how to modernize our countries in the best way.
相比其他的雅思作文,這篇范文中的人稱代詞其實(shí)是相當(dāng)多的。因?yàn)轭}目本身就允許了文章中出現(xiàn)相對更多的人稱代詞,所以這篇文章中使用的大量的人稱代詞并不成問題。
而且,這篇文章也是因?yàn)槭褂昧巳朔Q代詞而避免失分的典范。
Summery
在雅思論文中,人稱代詞是可以使用的,只是不要過度使用,避免文章過于非正式。
在文章開篇或結(jié)尾,如果你想要表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),人稱代詞的使用往往讓觀點(diǎn)更為明確、清晰。
如果在文章主體段你想減少人稱代詞的使用,這也是可以的。
文中的多個例子證明了人稱代詞的使用并不會讓論文失去其本身的學(xué)術(shù)性。試想,通過個人經(jīng)歷來論證自己的觀點(diǎn)時,難道能不用到人稱代詞嗎?
