怎样用背景句写出高分雅思作文开头段？

自古文章写法就有"虎头—猪肚—豹尾”一说，开头要如虎头般斑斓夺目，内容要像猪肚那样饱满丰富，结尾则像豹子的尾巴一样漂亮有力。一篇好的文章，开始的部分格外重要，要迅速抓住阅读者的注意力，并且为即将到来的观点层层铺垫！

我们总结了雅思近几年的高分模范作文，发现他们的开头逻辑是通过引入背景，切合题目从而达到一种开头点睛的论文既视感，这就是背景句的重要作用。今天就让我们了解一下怎样用背景句写出色的开头段。

背景句的重要性

开头段的组成一定要和题目紧密相关。

第一类是和观点有关的题目“to what extent do you agree or disagree?”或者是“discuss both views and give your own opinion.”这类题目的构成往往为“背景+题目观点+题目问题”。

另一类是和事实有关的题目，比方说“do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?”或者是“what are the reasons and how to solve these issues?” 而这一类的题目中就只有“背景事实+题目问题”。

所以， 我们的较为标准的开头段通常便是“背景引入+题目观点复述+己方观点表达”或是，“背景引入+己方问题回应”。

通常同学们对于背景引入不甚重视，“Nowadays, with the development of...”这样的模板话术，会直接给考官一个可以略过的信号，所以如果有新颖的表达方式，往往会在一众试卷中脱颖而出！

五种背景引入方式

一、讲事实

写一句切合主题的事实描述，从而引出题目的话题或是问题。

1. Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weakness. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender?

背景句：There have always been differences in the types of work men and women have done...

2. Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods and traditional methods of food preparation. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

背景句：The increasing availability of convenience foods has been a significant feature of modern life in many developed countries...

3. In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest? 

背景句：Poor student behaviour seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.

4. In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. 

背景句：It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school.

二、给原因

根据题目中的观点或是题目中的事实去向前推出一层原因，从而让开头更有逻辑。

1. As language such as English, Spanish and mandarin become more widely spoken, there is a fear that many minority languages may die out. Some countries have taken steps to protect minority languages. What is your view of this practice? 

背景句：As the world becomes more integrated, the need for common means of communication is becoming more pressing.

2. Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

背景句：As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries.

三、给结果

通过结果反推出内容论证，这个方法思路较绕，但是用恰当也算是另辟蹊径，需要很熟练的逻辑思路和逻辑写法。

1. Some people think that machine translation is highly developed in today's society. Therefore it is not necessary for children to learn a foreign language. What`s your opinion.

背景句：It will be good news for school children when they are told that foreign language is no longer a required subject because translation can all be down by machines.

四、时间对比

这种通常是以史为鉴，古今对比，从而引出题目的争论，或是主题。

1. Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives. In what ways can social benefit from the contribution that older people can make?

背景句：People today can expect to live a longer and healthier life than people in the past. …….

2. Many people believe that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative effect.

背景句：In the past, news about famous people may have been confined to gossip columns in newspapers; these days it is not uncommon for celebrities to feature as front page news.

3. Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? 

背景句：Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school, but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists.

五、地点对比

1.Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

背景句：Some countries have single-sex education models, while in others both single sex and mixed schools co-exist and it is up to the parents or the children to decide which model is preferable.
