最近这段时间,不知道有多少同学被一个新词给刷屏了——ChatGPT,一个由美国“开放人工智能研究中心”研发的聊天机器人程序。
它能够通过学习和理解人类的语言来进行对话,还能根据聊天的上下文进行互动,甚至能完成撰写邮件、视频脚本、文案、翻译、代码等任务。简单来说,就是你能做到的一些事,ChatGPT也能做到;而你做不到的一些事,可能它也能做到。
比如,此前就有新闻表示ChatGPT通过了谷歌的编程面试,并拿到了年薪18.3万美元(折合人民币约124.1万元人民币)的L3工程师offer;它甚至可以帮大学生写出一篇质量不错的论文,连教授都分辨不出来是学生自己写的还是人工智能写的。
一系列的神操作让ChatGPT火速出圈。那么,如果将ChatGPT运用于雅思领域,它到底能做到什么程度呢?它又能否帮到各位考鸭进行雅思学习辅助呢?
为此,我们针对雅思写作领域对它进行了一些测试。

让ChatGPT根据要求写篇雅思作文,能得多少分?
首先,我们让ChatGPT严格按照雅思大作文的题目要求,根据上周(2月4日)的纸笔考题题目写一篇文章,来看看它在短短十几秒内生成的答案到底能得到多少分?

2023.2.4题目:Some people think they have right to use as much fresh water as they want, while others believe government should control the use of fresh water as it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
这是一篇典型的双边讨论文章,文章大意是:一些人认为他们有随意使用淡水资源的自由,另一些人认为政府应该控制淡水资源的使用,因为淡水资源是有限的。
这样一篇比较抽象的题目,让不少同学在考试现场抓耳挠腮,不知道从何谈起,而当你将题目输入ChatGPT,它分分钟就搞定了。
给大家看看ChatGPT根据上述题目生成的大作文全文↓↓
The debate over the use of fresh water is a contentious one, with some individuals asserting their right to use as much of this vital resource as they desire, while others believe that the government should have control over its distribution and utilization. Both sides present valid arguments that are worth exploring.
Those who believe in the unrestricted use of fresh water argue that it is a basic human right to have access to clean and abundant water. They view water as an essential aspect of their lives and should have the freedom to use it as they see fit. This perspective is rooted in the belief that individuals should have control over their own lives and not be subject to government regulations, unless necessary.
On the other hand, those who believe that the government should control the use of fresh water argue that it is a finite resource and must be managed carefully to ensure that future generations have access to it. They believe that the government has a responsibility to preserve the environment and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, including water. In their view, the unrestricted use of water would lead to its overconsumption, depletion, and degradation of water sources.
Personally, I believe that the government should have control over the use of fresh water. While I acknowledge the importance of individual freedoms, I believe that the preservation of fresh water is a greater concern. Fresh water is a precious resource that is vital for life, and its unrestricted use could have devastating consequences on the environment and future generations. Additionally, the government has a responsibility to ensure that all citizens have access to clean and safe water, regardless of their economic status.
An example of this can be seen in the ongoing water crisis in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2018, the city experienced a severe drought that depleted its water supply to dangerously low levels. The government was forced to implement strict water restrictions, limiting the amount of water that each person could use. This measure was necessary to prevent the complete depletion of the city’s water sources and ensure that the residents would have access to water in the future.
In conclusion, while both perspectives on the use of fresh water have valid arguments, I believe that the government should have control over its utilization. The preservation of this finite resource is crucial for the environment and future generations, and the government has a responsibility to ensure that all citizens have access to clean and safe water.
我们的雅思写作老师贾宜承也对人工智能生成的这篇文章进行了分析,并表示这篇文章是一篇可以拿到7分以上的范文。
贾宜承老师表示,总体来看,整个文章段落布局合理,主体段的段落字数相近(well-paragraphed),在讨论了题目中的两个观点后,用两个段落表达了自己的观点,最后进行了总结。
根据雅思写作的四项评分标准具体来看,这篇人工智能写出来的文章优缺点如下:
1.Task Response
文章对题目做出全面回应且字数充足,分别讨论两个观点并清晰地展示了自己的立场。不过在主体段论述双方观点时,有些过于笼统,对于段落的某些论点并没有具体展开论证。
2. Coherence and Cohesion
文章段落布局清晰合理,每个段落都有清晰的主旨句,并且在段落内使用连接词,例如on the other hand, additionally等,将句与句之间的逻辑关系有效组织起来。但也存在段落内部句与句之间缺少有效衔接词的情况。
3. Lexical Resource
文章能够使用足够的词汇对观点进行论述,用词准确并且使用相关的话题词汇,比如depletion, degradation, severe drought。准确使用了一些词汇组合,例如have access to, be subject to。但文章中一些词语搭配重复使用多次,没有展现词汇使用的丰富性。
4. Grammatical Range and Accuracy
将这篇文章带入Grammarly(一款专门进行文章语法修改的工具)后,语法准确度方面被打满分(Grammarly认为文中fresh water应改为freshwater,但两者都可以表示淡水),也就是说这篇文章几乎看不出语法层面的错误。
从句型结构来看,这篇文章的句子平均在18词以上,而且使用了不同的从句形式、with+分词结构等。不过文中一些表达比较固定,如多次使用have+名词的方式,have a responsibility to, have access to, have the freedom to, have control over等。
让ChatGPT给雅思满分作文评分,结果…
做完上述测试之后,我们又将之前雅思官方网站上发布的一篇雅思满分小作文(关于砖块的制作流程)搬到了ChatGPT,并让它根据雅思写作的标准给这篇文章进行评分。
▲这是给ChatGPT发出的指令以及对应的小作文
而ChatGPT给出的反馈竟然是这篇作文总分只有6.5分…其中根据雅思写作四项评分标准——“写作任务完成情况”是7分,“连贯与衔接”是6分,“词汇丰富程度”是6分,“语法多样性及准确性”是7分。
再接下来,神奇的一幕就发生了。
我们接着回复:但这是一篇官方认定的9分雅思作文,你怎么看?
ChatGPT展开了“翻脸比翻书还快”的回复,直接开始道歉并表示自己的判断是错误的,“如果这篇作文的确是雅思官方评定的9分范文,那么它当然是已经满足9分标准了”。并且还在后续开始了一波对这篇文章的“彩虹屁”——表示这篇文章无论从语言运用能力、语法准确度都非常高超,精准地描述了砖头的生产过程。(这跟前面的说法怎么一点都不一样?)
u1s1(有一说一),ChatGPT的认错态度是非常良好的,认识到错误后马上就改了~但也可以从这里看出,对于雅思写作的评判,它的确是还处于机械化处理的流程,并没有真正融合评分细则以及综合大量真实考试卷子来进行评判。这也是为什么它写出来的雅思文章也还没法达到真正满分的原因。
总的来说,如果是基础比较薄弱(写作只有5分以下)的同学,的确可以结合ChatGPT提供的范文来学习一些话题词汇和表达方式,积累写作素材。而对于想要冲击雅思写作高分的同学,直接学习ChatGPT的范文的帮助还是有限的。从搭建框架到论点论证的思考,再到最后形成一篇完整的雅思作文,需要大家在有效的指导下反复练习。
不知道大家对于人工智能的发展前景有什么看法呢?大家觉得ChatGPT还能运用在雅思学习的领域进行帮助(正当的),欢迎来评论区发表你的看法哦~
