Chào các bạn,
Trong bài thi IELTS Writing Task 1, một tiêu chí quan trọng để được điểm cao chính là làm sao có thể sử dụng nhiều cấu trúc khác nhau để so sánh thông tin. Đây chính là cơ sở tăng điểm cho phần Grammar Range and Accuracy cũng như là Lexical Resources là phần chiếm 50% số điểm của bài thi IELTS Writing.
Dưới đây, mình xin chia sẻ một vài cách khác nhau mà các bạn có thể áp dụng đơn giản để thực hiện với so sánh trong bài thi.
Cách 1: So sánh các câu với nhau.
Một số từ nối các bạn có thể sử dụng khi so sánh 2 câu với nhau bao gồm: In comparison, in contrast, however, on the other hand.
Ví dụ tham khảo:
However:
In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of Fairtrade coffee, at €3 million, while revenue from Fairtrade bananas was highest in the UK, at €15 million. By 2004, however, sales of Fairtrade coffee in the UK had risen to €20 million, and this was over three times higher than Switzerland’s sales figure for Fairtrade coffee in that year.
In comparison:
A comparison of growth in incomes per head since 2003 shows that countries with scores of less than three—defined as "rampant corruption"—have an average annual growth rate of 4.8%. In comparison, the six countries with scores in excess of three achieved growth averaging 4.2% annually over the five years, implying that high levels of corruption are not necessarily bad for economic expansion.
Cách 2: So sánh ở trong câu
Với cách này, các bạn có thể sử dụng các từ như: while, whereas, although, but
While: In the same year, 35.4% of one-person households in England had two bedrooms, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom homes accounted for 28% and 29.8% of the total. Under 7% of single-occupant homes had four or more bedrooms.
Although: Handwriting became school A’s most significant problem in 2015, although the percentage of children experiencing handwriting difficulties at that school was the same in both years.
Cách 3: So sánh bằng nhau với SAME, SIMILAR hay AS…AS
The distance to Garlsdon’s housing area is similar to the distance from S1 to the same area.
The figure for water use by industry (23%) is the same for both San Diego County and the world as a whole
Cách 4: So sánh với MOST, LEAST
Historic houses and monuments were visited by only 16% of the sample, while wildlife parks and zoos were the least popular of the four types of tourist attraction, with only 9% of visitors.
Alton Towers was the second most popular amusement park, with 17% of the sample, followed by Pleasureland in Southport, with 16%.
