下面我們來(lái)看看雅思考試的評(píng)分
雅思寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不像四、六級(jí)考試采用整體式的評(píng)分,而是分項(xiàng)式評(píng)分(analyticalscoring)。也就是說,考官給考生并不只打一個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù),而是根據(jù)具體的評(píng)分細(xì)則分項(xiàng)給分,最后再折算為總分。雅思寫作部分的總分為0~9分,可以有半分。下面是針對(duì)學(xué)術(shù)類雅思考試的評(píng)分說明:
Task1
在這個(gè)部分,考生需要有能力來(lái)選擇并清晰描述表格或圖表中最重要和相關(guān)的信息,知道如何組織這些信息并使用恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)言進(jìn)行描述。由于這個(gè)task是學(xué)術(shù)性的,所以必須要使用學(xué)術(shù)性的格式和語(yǔ)氣來(lái)進(jìn)行描述。由于此task要求字?jǐn)?shù)為150,所以如果考生寫作的字?jǐn)?shù)少于150,則會(huì)被扣分;但如超過150則不會(huì)受到任何懲罰。但是考生還要注意一點(diǎn),寫作字?jǐn)?shù)的增多無(wú)疑增加了寫作時(shí)間,這樣會(huì)影響到task2的寫作,所以要適當(dāng)?shù)丶右钥刂疲m量即可。
評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)為以下四個(gè)方面:
·TaskAchievement:
考生是否能夠有效地辨別、說明和報(bào)道問題中的關(guān)鍵信息;
·Coherence andCohesion:
考生對(duì)信息和觀點(diǎn)組織得如何,信息之間的銜接是否恰當(dāng);
·LexicalResource:
考生作文中的詞匯使用是否多樣、準(zhǔn)確和恰當(dāng);
·Grammatical Rangeand Accuracy:
考生作文中的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的使用是否多樣、準(zhǔn)確和恰當(dāng)。
Task2
對(duì)于這個(gè)部分,考生需要有能力對(duì)要討論的問題清晰地表達(dá)出自己的觀點(diǎn),并提供證據(jù)或例子加以支持。他們還需要有能力很好地組織觀點(diǎn),并使用準(zhǔn)確的語(yǔ)言將其表達(dá)出來(lái)。由于此task要求字?jǐn)?shù)為250,所以如果考生寫作的字?jǐn)?shù)少于250,則會(huì)被扣分;但如果寫作字?jǐn)?shù)超過250,則不會(huì)受到任何懲罰。但是考生還要注意一點(diǎn),寫作字?jǐn)?shù)的增多無(wú)疑增加了寫作時(shí)間,這樣會(huì)使得自己沒有時(shí)間做檢查和更正的工作。所以要適當(dāng)?shù)丶右钥刂疲m量即可。
