怎样靠ChatGPT快速突破雅思写作?

上月考过的一篇雅思大作文,是问男女工作差别的。我把题目原封不动贴进ChatGPT的对话框,设定好250+的字数要求,请它试试身手。雅思考试写作Task 2的时间是40分钟,它只花了80秒,就把一篇285个单词的文章清晰地呈现在我的电脑屏幕上。

题目:Some people think that men and women have different qualities. Therefore, some certain jobs are suitable for men and some jobs are suitable for women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

文章:I strongly disagree with the idea that men and women have inherently different qualities, and that certain jobs are suitable for one gender but not the other. This line of thinking is based on outdated and discriminatory stereotypes, and has no place in todays society.

First of all, it is simply not true that men and women have inherently different qualities.While there may be some physical differences between the sexes, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that men and women have fundamentally different abilities or personalities. In fact, research has shown that any differences that do exist are largely the result of social and cultural factors, rather than biology.

Secondly, the idea that certain jobs are suitable for one gender but not the other is inherently discriminatory. This line of thinking reinforces harmful gender stereotypes, and can limit opportunities for individuals who do not conform to these stereotypes. For example, a woman who is interested in pursuing a career in engineering or construction may be discouraged from doing so because these fields are traditionally seen as “mens jobs.” Similarly, a man who wants to become a nurse or a primary school teacher may be discouraged because these fields are traditionally seen as “womens jobs.”

In conclusion, the idea that men and women have different qualities and that certain jobs are suitable for one gender but not the other is not supported by scientific evidence, and is inherently discriminatory. We should reject this outdated way of thinking, and instead focus on individuals abilities and interests, regardless of their gender. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and equal society in which everyone has the opportunity to pursue the career of their choice.

雅思写作Task 2官方评分标准有四个维度:

话题回应 Task Response

连贯、统一 Coherence and cohesion

词汇广度 lexical resource

语法广度和精度 Grammatical range and accuracy

我们持这四条金科玉律,考察一下ChatGPT这篇作文,看看它写得怎么样。

标准一话题回应,指的是扣题,展开充分。文章第一段第一句就开门见山,亮明反对立场,牢牢扣住题目,绝不像很多中国考生那样骑墙。典型的西方思维,强烈推荐。如果你习惯写那种“既要……也要……”的句型又改不过来,那你最好去考公务员,不要考雅思。

第一句即全文中心句 ( thesis statement ),没有啰哩啰嗦用什么“随着社会发展”等套话交代背景,像传统essay那样把中心句放在开头段的结尾。

后面两个主体段( body paragraph ),第一段反驳题目观点的第一句,否认了男女有别,强调男女差别是社会、文化造成的,生理差别不是本质。第二段反驳题目观点的第二句,强调了按照所谓男女差别分配工作,加深了歧视。然后给了女工程师、男护士的例子支持论点,展开很充分。

标准二连贯、统一,指的是文章条理,结构清晰,浑然一体。文章表现出色,不仅firstly, secondly, similarly, while等关联词简洁、恰当,男女双方的例子也给的不偏不倚且先给女性例子,再给男性例子,花了心思。

承认吧,人类,在审题、扣题、快速组织、论证、无矛盾推理等方面,AI比我们快1万倍。虽然今年即2022年的语言还没有投喂给ChatGPT,但这家伙曾经吃过、消化过的自然语言,以及经历过的鼓励、惩罚、调整,比我们学习过程中接触的多得多。

当然,ChatGPT毕竟是机器,它写的文章结构较固定、公式化( formulaic ),但越公式化、标准化的文章,越方便雅思考生拆解、模仿,快速上手。尼采、莎士比亚那些大师的文章读着肯定更爽,但咱学得来吗?写作水平高的作者确实可以玩设问、倒叙、插叙,甚至意识流,但这些组织手段不符合雅思这种标准化、学术化考试的要求。正如昆汀拍的《杀出个黎明》和《低俗小说》,看得咱目瞪口呆,但电影是艺术,可以随便玩花样,雅思不行。

标准三,词汇广度。加分词汇包括 inherently,line of thinking,discriminatory stereotypes,conform to,regardless 等,大多数雅思考生是写不出的。用单词造句容易,但是造出地道的英文句子难如登天。

事实上,海归湾力推的《学术词汇表》即AWL( Academic Word List ),虽然只有区区570个基础词汇,没几个雅思考生甚至雅思老师能熟练用它们造出纯正、得体的英文句子。

这也是为什么我们一再提醒考生,千万不要模仿中国老师写的范文。像林语堂那种英语非母语的中国人写英语文章而一点不带出中式英文的,凤毛麟角。

标准四,语法广度和精度。广度,文章中定语从句、while 和 by doing句型使用恰当;精度就更不用说了,每个词都得体,没有突兀。语言虽然没有啥风采,不像苏轼的词那么优美、荡气回肠,但你要能写出它这样的英语,写作拿个8分还是很容易的。
