掌握 2024 年多邻国英语测试中的新互动写作题型

介绍

The Duolingo English Test is introducing a new question type called Interactive Writing in April 2024. Mastering this question type is crucial for achieving a higher writing score. In this post, we’ll explore the structure of the Interactive Writing question, and strategies for answering it effectively, and provide you with templates and sample answers to help you succeed.

理解互动写作问题结构

互动写作题由两部分组成。首先，您将收到一个写作提示，并有 5 分钟时间撰写您的回答。根据您的回答，将生成第二个提示，您将有 3 分钟时间根据新提示的要求继续写作。问题界面将类似于之前提供的截图。

多邻国英语测试中的写作题型

在多邻国英语测试中，写作问题可以分为三种主要类型：

1. 描述性问题

2. 争论性问题（包括基于观点的问题）

3. 比较性问题

通过掌握针对每种问题类型量身定制的写作结构，您可以显著提高在写作部分的表现。

Strategies for Answering Interactive Writing Questions

让我们分析一个示例问题和提示:

孩子们应该什么时候开始学习外语？为什么？请给出具体理由来回答.

这是一个基于观点的问题，我们可以使用两种模板之一来有效地回答它。

模板1:

Start with your stance: “I firmly believe that [your stance]”
Elaborate with a reason: “One primary reason for this is [your reason(s)]”
Provide an example or evidence: “For instance, [your example]”
Conclude by reinforcing your stance: “Therefore, [your stance].”

模板 2:

Present a balanced view: “While some might argue that [counter-argument], I believe that [your stance].”
Justify your stance: “This is mainly due to [reason].”
Illustrate with an example: “A notable example is [example]”
Sum up your argument: “In conclusion, despite [counter-argument], I believe that [your stance].”

使用模板1，示例答案可能是这样的：

“I firmly believe that children should begin learning a foreign language as early as possible, ideally before age 5. One primary reason for this is that young children’s brains have a remarkable capacity to absorb new languages quickly. The earlier they are exposed to a second language, the more easily they can attain native-like pronunciation and internalize the language’s structure and patterns. For instance, research has shown that children who start learning a language before age 7 are far more likely to achieve high proficiency than those who start as teenagers or adults. Therefore, I believe starting foreign language education in early childhood gives kids the best shot at becoming fluent.”

处理第二个写作提示

根据您对第一个提示的回答，您可能会遇到这样的第二个提示：

你会对那些认为幼儿外语教育会影响其他关键学习和发展领域的人说些什么？

这是一个争论性的问题，我们可以使用模板2来解决它。然而，由于我们只有3分钟的时间来回应，我们可以通过省略最后的总结步骤来简化模板。

一个使用修改后的模板2的示例答案：

While some might argue that early foreign language learning hinders other crucial development, I believe that it enhances overall cognitive abilities. This is mainly due to the brain’s increased flexibility and capacity to acquire multiple languages simultaneously during early childhood. A notable example is the success of immersion programs which demonstrate that children can learn languages and thrive academically in other subjects.
