17个不能回避的雅思写作问题
经过三个月的复习总结和4次的实战，我总结了17个关于雅思写作不能回避的核心问题。这17问题一直贯穿在我整个复习的过程。相信只要弄明白这17个问题，我觉得我们离写作7分就无比接近了。对于那些即将参加3月19日，4月2日，4月16日，5月7日等鸭友团来说，我觉得要搞懂问题1，2，6，7，8，13这6个问题最为迫切。如果能做好的话，分数一定能提高的。

考官是怎么改卷子的？标准是怎样的？ 雅思写作7分是什么样的概念？ 雅思写作6分与7分或者6.5分与7分的距离有多远？ 怎么制定雅思写作复习计划？ 考试前需要写多少篇的大作文和小作文？ 写作模版管用吗？ 雅思写作需要背多少个词汇？ 雅思写作需要什么样的句型？ 雅思写作需要多复杂的从句和语法？ 我们对雅思写作的误区 鸭友们通常会犯哪些语法错误，能有效避免吗？什么样的语法错误是致命的？ 雅思写作能速成吗？平时需要多看英文报纸吗？ 小作文重要吗？容易写吗？应该怎么复习 怎么安排大作文和小作文的写作顺序和时间 要买参考书吗？什么样的参考书？ 参加培训班管用吗？ 网络上面所谓的―名师‖雅思写作预测有用吗？
TASK 1 小作文
曾经一直忽视小作文，甚至认为雅思写作约等于是写一篇250字的大作文。轻视它的原因可以归结为，字数少(只要150字)，不需要个人观点(纯粹描述客观figures)，有固定的单词和句型，分数只占总分的1/3···直到后来与考官见面的时候，我才意识到小作文的杀伤力。This is especially true when it comes to those who only got band 6.5 but indeed demand band 7.0
按照剑桥雅思的分类，小作文可为：柱状图(bar chart)，饼图(pie chart)，曲线图(line graph)，表格(table)，地图(map)和流程图(processing chart)。当然，这只是按照这些图表的属性和特征来归类。为什么我要费那么多笔墨在这个人所共知的问题上面呢？经过我1个月的练习和研究，我发现，如果按照这样的归类，我们得总结出6套相对应的模版(句型和词汇)。其实这样是吃力不讨好，事倍功半的，因为这样的归类方法严重地影响了我们的复习方案和练习计划，而且并没有很好地反应出task 1的本质要求。
我的个人认为，应该把柱状图，饼图，曲线图和表格看作一个总体，然后区分出是纵向比较还是横向比较（下面会继续解释它们的区别和应对方案）；然后地图题是一类，流程图是另外一类。也就是说按照本人的经验，task1 小作文按照图表的本质应该分为：横向比较，纵向比较，地图题和流程图。
由于雅思写作task 1中，柱状图，饼图，曲线图和表格占了绝大多数，所以这个板块应该作为复习的重点。每当我们拿到题目的时候，我们第一件事应该做什么？对，看图表（果然是一句废话）！！其实我的意思是，我们得首先观察它们究竟是：不同物体在同一时间点的比较（即横向比较），还是单一物体在不同时间点的比较（即纵向比较）。这一点非常非常非常非常非常重要！！！因为不同的比较，有着不同的内在比较关系。详细分析如下
横向比较：由于没有时间的变动，因此不存在物体或数据的波动，也就是说，那些描述变化趋势、描述变化特征的词汇和句型完全不适用。此时此刻，我们要focus的是
? 首先我们要找出极值（最大值和最小值）
? 然后客观地、略有筛选地描述剩余数据（若数据太多，则有所侧重；若数据不多，则全部描述）
? 接着就是高潮了--找出不同数据之间的共同特征和大小比较（比如说，谁和谁一样大/小，谁是谁的几分之几，谁是谁的多少倍）
? 高潮过后，就需要有一个意犹未尽但有心无力的总结
纵向比较：顾名思义，就是由于时间的推移，不同物体和数据之间发生了量的变化，也就是说，这时候关于描述变化趋势和变化特征的词汇和句型就用得上了。此时此刻，我们要
concentrate的是
? 首先客观描述变化的大体趋势（是升高了还是降低了，是多了还是少了）
? 然后描述变化的具体特征（是怎样增加的，是怎样减少的，幅度如何，速率如何） ? 接着找出变化趋势相似的不同物体，然后客观描述一下，以减少单词和词汇的重复使用，避免啰嗦
? 同样，这里也需要一个纵横全局的归纳和总结
说了那么多，估计你们也看烦看腻了。毕竟很多人都想着一蹴而就，想着尽可能多背单词多抄句型。好吧，闲话不多说，上货！请大家验明正身！！

TASK 2 大作文
看着他改了12篇文章，发现他改作文的模式非常非常的mechanical，他说考官一般会在1小时内改六份作文（including task 1 and task2），那就是说平均5分钟改一篇。在这五分钟里，他就死死地盯着评分规则，从task response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resources, grammatical range and accuracy 这四个方面评分。而且让我无比深刻的是：雅思是一门语言能力考试，它侧重于测试学生的语言表达能力，而不是思维能力。记
住：核心词是语言表达！！
以下是雅思写作的7分标准
(a). task response:
? addresses allparts of the task
? presents a clear position throughoutthe reponse
? presents, extend and supports main ideas, but there may be a tendency to over-generalise and/or supporting ideas may lack focus.
用中文最简单的理解是：首尾都要回答问题，允许泛泛而谈。这就是说，我们没必要花太多的精力去考虑观点是否绝对严谨是否意义深刻，关键是要告诉考官你的思考逻辑。这就是剑桥雅思的魅力，它要考你的不是你的思维能力，而是你的语言表达能力。哪怕在ridiculous的观点，只要你能用最恰当的语言去表达，你也可以同样得7分（当然，如果你的目标是8分，你就当我痴人说话吧）。还有就是说，很多题目本身包含很广泛的概念，很多大学教授用十几万字都解释不清的关系，怎么就能让我们这些门外汉用三言两语就解释好呢。说了这么多，我想说的是，如果你从一开始就习惯背诵满分作文，习惯复制别人的观点，这样的复习方法会很吃力（我不敢说是错的，那是确实低效，甚至有赌博成分），事倍功半。毕竟我们都是正常人，我们都有自己的思考能力和理解能力，我们说的每一个观点都是make sense，不make sense的是我们没把那个观点说清楚。
(b). coherence and cohesion
? logically organisesinformation and ideas, there is clear progression throughout ? lises a range of cohesive devicesappropriately although there may be some under-or over use
? presents a clear topicwithin each paragragh
用中文最简单的意思是：分段分点，每点之前必须有连接词。这一点非常非常容易达到（我总结了大量这样的词汇，明天或者后天上传上来）。然后那个考官最为推介的范式（以argumentation的题目为例，因为report类的文章更死板了）：开头段+主体段（让步一段，支持（反对）两段）+结尾段。其实说白了，就是我们最熟悉不过的模版。 也就是说，模版是非常有用的，之所以变成没用（serve no helpful purpose）是因为用模范的那个人没有用（想起粤语里面的一句歇后语，叫―太监撒尿‖）。至于怎么用模版才能变得不落于俗套，下文回答问题7的时候会有详细分析。
(c). lexcial resource
? uses a sufficient rangeof vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision ? uses less common lexical itemswith some awareness of style and collocation ? may produce occasional errosin word choice, spelling and/or word formation
用中文最简单的意思是：足够就好，不需要多；一两个大词就够，不需要滥。一说到单词，相信我们并不陌生，甚至认为学英语就是背单词，写作就是单词的选美与堆砌。尽管我们都知道这是不对的，但是依旧默默地坚持着，比如说背诵一大堆同义词代换，一大堆除了莎士比亚见过之外其他人都没见过的大词。这样的复习会很累而且会逐渐把雅思写作从逻辑表述变成词汇大杂烩。至于何谓是足够的单词，何谓是less common lexical items，这就是问题6的范畴了。经过我写了大概30篇雅思作文，我觉得我们需要的词汇其实真的不多（我的词汇表一定会upload上来，估计在明天或者后天）。我想说的是，记单词最好的方法是，把单词放到句型或者例句上面来，然后句型或者例句一定要与雅思写作topic 相关。如果不相关，证明那个词就算记住了，也不会用。
(d). Grammatical range and accuracy ? uses a variety of complex structures
? produces frequent error-free sentences
? has good control of grammar and punctuation but may make a few mistake
用中文最简单的意思是：句子结构多样性和允许语法错误的存在。对于句子结构多样性，这一点，我觉得我们中国学生肯定没问题的，什么定语从句，什么名词性从句，什么状语从句，倒装句，虚拟语态，被动语态等，我们只会过犹不及。从我的个人经验来看，我有时候会把定语从句和同位语从句搞乱（并不是我们不知道有什么不同，而是一紧张就很容易忽视了）。说到语法错误，我可以说，我们中国学生最最最常犯的语法错误都是非常低级（请参考part.4内容）。

(a). 雅思写作低级语法错误
(1) 冠词a, an, the的乱用，少用，多用。
(2) 名词单复数。
? 只修饰不可数名词的词：much,little,a litter,a great deal of,a great amount of,a piece of,an article of
? 既可修饰不可数又能修饰可数的词：
all (of) a lot of some (of) lots of any (of) plenty of most (of) half (of) a wealth of (a) part of
enough (of) the rest of other one third of such
no a variety of
(3). 主谓一致：这个语法最好上百度百科，那里的分析非常详细。我发现经常犯主谓一致的错误是
? 当主语后面有as well as, with, along with, together with, but, like, rather than, except等引导的短语时,谓语动词要与最前面的主语保持一致.
? "half of, the rest of, most of, all of及百分数或分数+of 等后接名词"作主语时,谓语动词形式根据of后的名词而定.
(b). 雅思写作致命语法错误
(1). 句子成分缺失，通常是缺谓语（由于谓语用了动名词或者过去分词）
(2). 定语从句和同位语从句的混淆（特别容易在引导同位语从句时，误以为引导定语从句）
(4). 在使用倒装句时，请注意助动词提前。如果不熟练，那就请你不要用了。
(a). 雅思考官是不太在乎你是用一面倒还是‖先让步再支持―
记得在悉尼海外东方学院的J老师说过，现在―一面倒‖已经很难甚至不能拿7分了。我问了一下考官，他给我的答复非常的straightforward，无论让步还是一面倒，都是可以拿7分，关键是reasonably explain and extend your idea.
(b). 雅思写作中只要是问opinion的题目(包括‖discuss both views and give your own opinion―和‖to what extent do you agree or disagree")，开头和结尾都要表明观点
雅思考官给我的回答是：―you should preview the question and give you opinion immediate so that the examiners can easily understand what you are going to argue‖.这就是说慎小嶷《十天》里面最喜欢的开头了，―介绍背景+分析双方观点+表明自己态度‖；也就是说用模版。
记住三个英文单词―explain‖,―extend‖or―example‖
你或我总会那么一个时候，想到了一个观点但是不知道怎么论证，或者不知从哪一个点开始论证。其实很简单，要么你就说为什么这个观点会产生，要么你就说这一观点所产生的影响（积极或消极），要么就举例子说明观点的存在性。
！！！重点推介···雅思写作必备句型！！！ 如果觉得要记上这160+的句型很吃力的话，或者觉得下周就要考试了，来不及熟悉用法的话，我用红色highlight了我最最最常用的，最最最喜欢的而且最最最万金油的句型

exporting fruits and vegetable by means of air transport the society exporting food benefit people in both exporting and importing countries, while others claim that air freight pose a serious threat to environment.
