第一篇：雅思寫(xiě)作

Environmental problems are so big that they cannot be solved by any person or country alone.Instead, it should be solved at international level.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

Environmental degradation has been recognized as one of the main challenges that we have to overcome in the 21st century.The rapid deterioration of environmental problems is believed to have posed a serious threat to our survival.To address this concern, countries worldwide should join forces, instead of working individually for their own target.People support international cooperation for two reasons.The first point is the impact of environmental problem is normally on a global scale.It is common knowledge that we share the same biosphere, its components are interrelated.For example, a stream in one country can be polluted by the sewage dumped by its neighboring country.In other words, one country’s effort to reduce pollution can be futile if other countries are not involved.It should also noted that some countries do not have adequate resources to reduce pollution, even though these countries realize the importance of environmental protection.These countries can cooperate with developed countries, introduce technologies and draw on experiences so as to implement environmentally friendly policies continuously.Despite the importance of international cooperation, countries should take the initiative to implement some changes.It is fair to say that countries are confronted with different environmental problem.For example, greenhouse gas emissions in China are mainly created by the electricity generation industries while in the United States are primarily attributed to the increase in car use.The technologies and methods that are globally applicable may not be effective in some countries.In addition, countries should enforce some environmental laws and raise citizens’ awareness so as to restore the environment.To summaries, countries should make a join effort not only because the ecosystem is a unified mechanism but also because it can make optimal use of financial and human resources.Country’s resource commitment is also important at regional or national level.In some countries, it is possible for people to buy products made in other countries.To what extent do the benefits of this development outweigh the problems?

As the world is increasingly globalised, the exchange of commodities across the border is proceeding at an astounding rate.It has sparked controversy over whether the increase in imports has adverse impacts.From my point of view, this practice’s advantages outweigh its disadvantages.Importing goods can yield a number of benefits.The first benefit is that despite the high cost of transportation, imports are competitively priced.The main reason is that the countries that export these goods normally have technology and professional knowledge to ensure the goods’ quality and affordability.For example, China specialises in the production of textile products so China-made textile products are cheaper than local counterparts in many parts of the world.Besides, imported goods have challenged domestic manufacturers’ dominance and intensified competition, thereby prompting these manufacturers to lower product prices.It is beneficial to domestic customers, because products are more affordable and the cost of living will decline.On the other hand, the downside of importing goods is that the excessive reliance on imports is likely to lead to the underdevelopment of some domestic industries.For instance, many countries import computers, resulting in domestic manufactures’ bankruptcy.This is harmful to the development of a self-contained economy, and also likely to trigger massive job cuts.Another problem is that transportation may create considerable pollution, especially when it involves air freight.It will degrade air quality and also lead to other environment issues, such as global warming.It is therefore reasonable to think that the advantages of importing of commodities should be accepted with caution.Although customers are able to acquire commodities at lower cost, countries also need to pay attention to the development of their respective industries.Some people believe that charities should give aid to those who need the aid most, wherever they live.Some people believe that charity organisations would better concentrate on people in their own countries instead.Discuss both views and give your own pinion.Concern about humanitarian has been heightened in recent years.Although international aid illustrates a moral ideal of mankind, many people who hold the opposing views think that the welfare of fellow citizens is the priority.International aid has its weaknesses but its importance should not be denied.The main reason why international donation agencies should view international aid from a global perspectives is that their funds can help the citizens of those recipient countries to combat poverty, disease and inequality.We should recognise that citizens of developing countries are in desperate need of aid, because they are susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as wars.In those war-ton or poverty-stricken countries, resources are extremely scarce, which demand for food, medicine, tents and shelters.Despite the importance of helping those beyond our national borders, it is reasonable to lend a hand to our fellow citizens.Even in the richest countries, there are some disadvantaged people whose needs for daily necessities are not met.If we can solve problems on our doorstep, low income people can have basic living standards and this is beneficial to social stability.From my personal perspective, humanitarian action can restore some of their basic rights, such as the right to receive education, in recipient countries.This is consistent with the universal principle of supporting vulnerable populations.Those who cannot provide financial support can work as aid workers and deliver services to those needy people.To summaries, we should realise the implications of international aid to those who are affected by disasters, poverty and misfortunes.We can deliver aid to other countries to show compassion, although helping local beneficiaries is important.The tourist industry has been expanding in some countries and international tourism has benefited these countries.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent decades, tourism has become an important industry and has brought unprecedented opportunities to these countries.However, the impact of tourism on these countries remains a source of constant debate.The essay will elaborate on both positive and negative impacts of tourism.The implications of tourism for some countries are two fold.First of all, it should be recognised that the development of tourism stimulates economic growth by generating enormous employment opportunities and increasing foreign exchange earnings.This benefit is particularly valuable to those impoverished countries, whose citizens are jobless, malnourished and ill-housed.Tourism provides a driving force for the development of various industries such as hospitality, transportation, communications, retail sales and manufacture, which require substantial capital investments.Without the revenues created by tourism, these industries are not likely to develop and the economic growth will be sluggish.Furthermore, tourism provides economic incentives for cultural preservation, because some places of cultural importance,e.g., historical sites,remain the most popular destinations.Those who express concerns about the negative effect of tourism should realise that tourism revenues can be used to protect cultural or historical heritage and also the local landscape.On the negative side, environmental destruction is one problem that arises from international tourism.The construction of infrastructure and tourism facilities(including airports, roads,hotels and resorts)will destroy environmental resources.Another problem associated with tourism is that it can threaten the local culture.The arrival of tourists can disrupt the life of local people, who abandon their traditional livelihoods and start to work in the tourism industry.It is also true that in many places, local people do not embrace tourism with open arms.Due to a lack of understanding of local customs, tourists might display some impolite or even offensive behaviour, which can lead to local people’s unhappiness or hostility.In the light of these facts, we can come to the conclusion that tourism can help some countries reap benefits although these countries may have to accept social and environmental costs.These countries should promote culturally appropriate activities and require tourists to show respect for the local life, traditions and natural scenery.English has become a universal language.Do you think that the positive effects of the trend outweigh negative effects?

At the present time, the role of English as a global language is indispensable, but it is worth mentioning that the prevalence of English worldwide might have its negative effect.In my opinion, English’s dominance can be viewed in a positive light.It is unquestionable that the extensive use of English worldwide helps promote international cooperation, as language constitutes the biggest barrier to people’s communication in the global setting.For example, if a company’s financial statements are written in English, any investor who has a good command of English is able to read this company’s documents and understand this company’s operation, whether or not English is their first language.That’s why English has been recognised as the main language by many international conferences and academic groups.Around 80 per cent of websites in the world present their information in English.It would be no exaggeration to say that those who do not speak English find it difficult to survive in the global community.By contrast, people who have proficiency in two languages(English plus their native language)can easily find jobs, collect information and travel overseas.Despite the contribution of the English language to globalisation, it is considered the main culprit of the loss of language diversity.The idea lies in the fact that many English learners, such as those who move to English-speaking countries, speak their native language less frequently.It should also be noted that English, as the favorite language for international media, conveys English-speaking countries’ lifestyles, values and beliefs to different parts of the world.It might affect the world’s cultural diversify.In spite of this, I am convinced that English is able to bridge the language gap and introduce minority cultures to the world, thereby protecting these cultures.In conclusion, English plays a vital role in communication and cooperation among people from different countries.Although some people suspect that English will endanger some minority languages.This claim is not supported with evidence.The reality is that English sometimes assists us protecting cultural heritage.Many countries spend a lot of money in art.Some people think investment in art is necessary, but others say money is better spent public services and facilities.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Government sponsorship for arts is a controversial issue, especially when the state is confronted with budget problems.There who object to public funds for arts believe that money should be diverted to the construction of public facilities.I am of the opinion that the government should take citizens’ benefits into consideration and adjust the spending on art or infrastructures accordingly.It is important to realise that art is an essential component of cultural legacy, so the protection and development of art has important implications to cultural diversity.In terms of painting, for example, styles, genres, tools and materials differ from culture to culture.An art form is likely to disappear, if it is not well protected.Despite the importance of art, public facilities deserve more of government spending than art.Citizens are interested in the availability of public facilities, such as water and electricity supply, schools, libraries and roads, which have a direct impact on their daily lives.By contrast, for most people, sculptures, paintings or operas are luxury items, which cannot bring tangible benefit to them.Therefore, it is pointless to support the use of public funds for this purpose, if basic facilities are underfunded and ill-equipped to meet public needs.I personally think that the arts should get public money, because it boosts the appeal of the built environment, reflected in the diversity of architecture and landscaping.If we are exposed to visually attractive objects everyday, we can enjoy peace of mind and feel an increased level of satisfaction with life.People will be less likely to commit violent or anti-social behaviors, and this is beneficial to community cohesion.In the light of the facts outlined above, government investment in the arts is essential to cultural diversity and the visual appeal of the built environment.However, in those countries whose infrastructure is inadequate, spending cuts on the arts are justifiable.Instead of asking the government to bear the cost of higher education, students should pay tuition fees themselves.Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The government has long been the major founder of university education.Those people who support government spending on education think that some students do not enroll because of learning costs.My view is that students’ personal situations should be considered, before the government decides whether to offer free education.It is worth noting that university education is the key to bridging the income gap.There are numerous students, especially those from low income families, who cannot afford educational expenses.For example, students who study architecture or medical science may spend many years in the university, which is an expensive choice for them.Because of financial constraints, people of low socio-economic status are at a disadvantage in terms of educational opportunities and career development.If the government provides free access to education, children from disadvantaged backgrounds can get into the college and find decent jobs in future.This can close the social divide and create a prosperous country.Even though government sponsorship can inspire people to receive tertiary education, it can also cause the waste of public resources.Free education may be a reason why many students are reluctant to complete their courses and enter the workforce at the earliest date.It not only imposes a burden on the country but also affects state funding for other sectors(e.g., primary and secondary education).Another problem is that, because of financial pressures, universities cannot upgrade facilities and recruit well-qualified lecturers, which can have a negative impact on students’ academic achievement.To summarise, government should provide financial support according to students’ needs to ensure that they have access to education.However, tuition fees are applicable to most students, especially those from middle to high income families, as it helps maintain the quality of tertiary education.Some people say that the government should ensure that people lead a healthy life, while others believe that individuals should have their own choices.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Healthy lifestyle is very important because it relevant to dignity and happiness.It is suggested that people are unlikely to adopt healthy lifestyle, unless the government takes some actions.My view is that lifestyle should be decided by people themselves, despite the importance of the government’s guidance and intervention.It is reasonable to argue that if people can choose their lifestyles freely, it reflects the respect for basic human rights.People who are obsessed with how to comply with government regulations will live under tremendous pressure.Although people are encouraged to eat vegetables and adopt a balanced diet, it does not mean that laws should specify the proportion of vegetables in diet.It not only poses a threat to their health, but also causes their resentment against the government.On the other hand, it is important for the government to impose restrictions on some habits, especially those that are widely believed to be damaging.This is due to the fact that most people have difficulty in disciplining themselves and cannot refrain from some unhealthy habits.For example, it is common knowledge smoking is harmful to people’s health but many people have problems ceasing smoking.The consequence is that their behaviour not only damage their own health but also has an adverse effect on others.Their reliance on medical care leads to overconsumption of resources and a higher demand for the use of taxpayers’ money;this is unfair to those who follow healthy habits.Overall, I believe that one’s freedom to choose lifestyles should be protected provided that it dose not interfere with other people.The primary role of the government is to provide information rather than to regulate citizens’ behaviour.This is important especially when citizens do not realise the health consequences of their habits and their problems can put pressure on the health service.The society is based on rules and laws.The society would not function well if individuals were free to do whatever they want.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Laws refer to the rules imposed on human beings.Although the laws is important in regulating people’s behaviour, many people argue that it restricts individuals’ freedom.I think that it is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions of law in society and its demerits.It is an undeniable fact that the law informs citizens of the rules that are recognized by the whole society.The essential point of formulating laws is that laws can prevent one from engaging in actions that are harmful to other people.Anybody who fails to comply with laws will be punished, so the law helps establish a harmonious society.For example, people may commit robberies and murder because of jealous, greed and hatred.If these actions were accepted on the grounds of personal choice, it would be detrimental to other people’s interest.It is also true that many ethical standards, such as those standards that emphasis honesty, loyalty and compassion, enhance social cohesion.Nevertheless, laws sometimes inevitably infringe upon human’s freedom and even hamper social development.For instance, if one country has many limits on the business world, the business activity will not be active.High income earners who are subject income tax rates may lack motivation to make greater efforts to increase their income.It is also the case that in a society where personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech are limited, it is impossible to have different voices heard and solve problem efficiently.It is reasonable to conclude that society cannot operate well without laws and rules.Even though the law does not allow people to act at will, the main purpose is to create a society where people can live in harmony.

第二篇：雅思寫(xiě)作

雅思寫(xiě)作范文

Many old building are protected by law because they are part of a nation's history.However，some people think knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices.How important is it to maintain old buildings？ Should history stand in the way of progress？Old buildings sometimes conflicts with social advancement.Appealing as it is in the eyes of business people，tearing down old architect to make room for real-estate development is not a wise idea in many ways.The primarily reason is that old buildings，like our native language，forms our cultural identity and keep a unique record the history of a country.From this aspect，old buildings are considered very valuable as one of the symbols of the culture of a nation.For instance，the traditional Chinese residence in Beijing，Siheyuan，are once seen as the remains of the Old World，and were destroyed by people shortly after the founding of People's Republic of China.Until recently did the people and policy makers as well realize that it is an inexcusable and stupid idea to commit such a terrible deed because old buildings，once gone，are not restorable.But their economic values and aesthetic appeals have just caught the attention of Chinese people.Moreover，old buildings，if planed and preserved properly，could coexist with modern real-estate development.In France，aged buildings bring millions of dollars of revenue for the government and amazed thousands of tourists.Yet no one thinks the high-rising office buildings and apartment buildings make the old architect a sore of the eye.By contrast，the new learn from the old，a fact that makes them more attractive.We admit that not all old buildings should be treated equally and some of them do need to be torn down for various reasons such as safety and new buildings.However，we should not be too blind to see their value too.If only the real and practical factors are being considered，the country will be sorry for its loss in years to come.As we have discussed，old buildings are part of a country's history and are valuable in many ways.We should plan well and be wise enough to see their value.But the same time，we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old and the new coexist in harmony.

第三篇：雅思寫(xiě)作

很多人在準(zhǔn)備雅思考試的初期都會(huì)問(wèn)幾乎相同的問(wèn)題：“需要多大的詞匯量？”“應(yīng)該背哪本詞匯表？”就這些問(wèn)題，北語(yǔ)雅思的看法如下：

雅思是個(gè)能力考試（a proficiency test），與人們所熟悉的 achievement test 不同。

所謂 achievement test，是指那些對(duì)學(xué)生所學(xué)過(guò)的知識(shí)進(jìn)行檢測(cè)的考試。如每學(xué)期的期 中、期末考試。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，在這樣的考試前，學(xué)校都會(huì)安排復(fù)習(xí)，老師也許還會(huì)劃定復(fù)習(xí)范圍。這些考試都和教學(xué)大綱規(guī)定的內(nèi)容和進(jìn)度等有關(guān)?？荚嚨膬?nèi)容一般不超出大綱規(guī)定的內(nèi)容。以英語(yǔ)為例，大綱規(guī)定了詞匯表，試題中如有超綱詞要注明中文定義。所以，每當(dāng)面臨一個(gè)新的考試時(shí)，考生會(huì)很自然地問(wèn)：看哪幾本書(shū)？有沒(méi)有詞匯表？

一般來(lái)說(shuō)，proficiency test 與教學(xué)進(jìn)度、內(nèi)容、教學(xué)大綱等無(wú)關(guān)，自然也與詞匯表無(wú)關(guān)。市面上有“雅思詞匯”

七、八本之多，均為出版社為了賺錢(qián)，雇人編寫(xiě)的，沒(méi)有一本具有所謂“權(quán)威性”。稍好一些的有例句說(shuō)明單詞的用法，差的只給出中文定義。如果想背詞匯，隨便買(mǎi)本“托福詞匯”、“

四、六級(jí)詞匯”、甚至某本英漢辭典，效果是一樣的。

其實(shí)，詞匯的最好學(xué)習(xí)方法是通過(guò)大量的閱讀來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)，而這種大量的閱讀正是雅思考試閱讀部分所側(cè)重的。備戰(zhàn)一個(gè) proficiency test 時(shí)，最好的準(zhǔn)備方法就是：考什么，準(zhǔn)備什么?？奸喿x，就通過(guò)閱讀準(zhǔn)備，而不是通過(guò)背詞匯表準(zhǔn)備。

常有考生問(wèn)：考雅思需要多大的詞匯量？很多人把詞匯量看成是能力的標(biāo)志，這又回到 achievement test 和 achievement test 問(wèn)題上。如果能從知識(shí)和能力的方面劃分考試的話，對(duì)詞匯量的測(cè)試是知識(shí)型的測(cè)試。有些考生可以得很高的知識(shí)分，但能力欠佳，即所謂“高分低能”。換言之，詞匯量不是能力標(biāo)志。從另一個(gè)角度看，詞匯量的統(tǒng)計(jì)也有問(wèn)題。以下這些詞怎么算：

act, actor, actress, action, active, activity, react, reactive, reaction, counteract, interact, hyperactive 等等，這到底算幾個(gè)詞。

那么該用什么來(lái)判斷一個(gè)人是否達(dá)到了挑戰(zhàn)雅思的水平呢？很簡(jiǎn)單，做

一、兩套模擬題就可以了。拿體育作比喻，如果你想知道自己跑一百米需要多少秒，最好的辦法就是去跑。而不是分析自己的心臟情況、血壓、體重等。當(dāng)你知道自己“吃幾碗干飯”，再去做相應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)備，去有針對(duì)性地練爆發(fā)力、步幅、節(jié)奏等。

在作聽(tīng)力和閱讀試題時(shí)，三分之一的正確率就是一個(gè)很好的起點(diǎn)。經(jīng)過(guò)一學(xué)期的脫產(chǎn)培訓(xùn)，在考試中獲得6段是有可能的。如果起始正確率能達(dá)到三分之二，也許不用參加培訓(xùn)，考自己多做幾套模擬試題，就可以獲得很好的成績(jī)。如果正確率在三分之一以下，那就不應(yīng)該上雅思培訓(xùn)班，而應(yīng)該上一個(gè)不和任何考試掛

鉤的培訓(xùn)班。這樣的班更好地解決打基礎(chǔ)、提高能力的問(wèn)題，因?yàn)榇蟛糠盅潘寂嘤?xùn)班都花很多達(dá)到時(shí)間琢磨應(yīng)試技巧，而顧及不到能力的提高。

如何自測(cè)口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作呢？看一看雅思口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作的題目，你自己離議論這些題目還差多遠(yuǎn)？要想在口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作考試中獲得有意義的分?jǐn)?shù)（6段），應(yīng)該能達(dá)到“侃”的水平。如論述“大城市面臨的交通問(wèn)題的原因、現(xiàn)狀、出路”；“在教育孩子的過(guò)程中?懲罰?的作用”；“很多人感到越來(lái)越忙，沒(méi)有閑暇時(shí)間，原因是什么，應(yīng)該怎么辦？”。這幾個(gè)題目是去出現(xiàn)過(guò)的雅思作文真題（task 2）?？谡Z(yǔ)題的難度也相差無(wú)幾，如“論教育對(duì)一個(gè)民族的重要性”。

之二

雅思考試與我們所熟悉的許多考試的區(qū)別之一是，雅思沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法和詞匯題。于是有人認(rèn)為不懂語(yǔ)法、不認(rèn)識(shí)幾個(gè)單詞也可以考雅思。考過(guò)之后才感嘆，難！于是趕緊四處打聽(tīng)“有多大的詞匯量才能挑戰(zhàn)雅思”。

中國(guó)學(xué)生的習(xí)慣是，所有的考試都可以通過(guò)“準(zhǔn)備”來(lái)通過(guò)的。

北語(yǔ)雅思想說(shuō)的是，proficiency tests 是不能“準(zhǔn)備”的，至少是不能以“期末復(fù)習(xí)、考試”那種形式來(lái)準(zhǔn)備，更不能靠達(dá)到“五千”或是“八千”詞匯來(lái)準(zhǔn)備的。北語(yǔ)雅思的所有教師都考過(guò)雅思，有的了兩次、三次，可是誰(shuí)也不知道自己有多大的詞匯量。什么人關(guān)注“自己”的詞匯量呢？英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)還不入門(mén)的學(xué)生，英語(yǔ)教學(xué)還是新手的教師。

還是那句話，考什么，你就應(yīng)該能夠做什么。比如，留學(xué)類(lèi)的閱讀的三篇文章都出自原文報(bào)刊，如“New Scientist”，那么考生就應(yīng)該去看和這類(lèi)雜志在難度、長(zhǎng)度、題材有可比性的文章，通過(guò)閱讀來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)詞匯，而不是去背詞匯表。讀懂這樣的文章靠什么？語(yǔ)法、詞匯、背景知識(shí)等等，但這些都是次要的，主要的、乃至最重要的是：靠日積月累達(dá)到的量。

讀有難度、長(zhǎng)度的文章比背詞匯表痛苦的多。背詞匯表可以讓人有“feel

good”、“我沒(méi)閑著”的感覺(jué)，因?yàn)榭梢酝ㄟ^(guò)“量化”來(lái)衡量自己的投入與產(chǎn)出。所以，背詞匯表的人多，腳踏實(shí)地、靠閱讀量來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)的人少。

聽(tīng)聽(tīng)womo于2003-3-17在51ielts.com上怎么說(shuō)的：“環(huán)球說(shuō)得6000-7000，不過(guò)我現(xiàn)在手里有三本雅思單詞書(shū)，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們不僅說(shuō)雅思該有的單詞量不同，就連選錄的單詞也差很遠(yuǎn)，背完新東方再看環(huán)球的，一堆不會(huì)。背完環(huán)球再看楊凡的，一堆不會(huì)”。

把那些“詞匯手冊(cè)”之類(lèi)的東西都扔了吧。去讀、去聽(tīng)?。。?/p>

之三

淺談雅思詞匯

這個(gè)問(wèn)題往往是各位準(zhǔn)備考雅思的朋友們非常關(guān)心的，說(shuō)起來(lái)也很正常。詞匯量本身就是衡量英語(yǔ)水平和考試難度的一個(gè)尺度，尤其在雅思考試形式比較特殊，沒(méi)有考試大綱的情況下，對(duì)詞匯來(lái)年量的需求自然倍受關(guān)注。很多朋友張口就問(wèn)，考雅思要不要背單詞？背什么單詞書(shū)？也有很多朋友給我發(fā)郵件來(lái)詢(xún)問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題。很久沒(méi)有寫(xiě)關(guān)于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的東西了，最近采訪了不少剛考完雅思的同學(xué)們，今天正好借這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)和大家討論一下。

首先要說(shuō)明一點(diǎn)，本文里面的觀點(diǎn)都是針對(duì)起點(diǎn)為詞匯量在1，500-2，000的基礎(chǔ)不是太好的朋友們。換句話說(shuō)，如果你的起點(diǎn)更低，連最基本的1，500詞匯都沒(méi)有的話，那么我個(gè)人認(rèn)為你是必須要背單詞的，沒(méi)有多少商量的余地。

那么，具備了1，500-2，000的詞匯量，到底要不要背單詞呢？應(yīng)該背什么單詞呢？下面我就結(jié)合雅思考試的特點(diǎn)，分項(xiàng)展開(kāi)說(shuō)明。

首先來(lái)看看對(duì)詞匯要求最簡(jiǎn)單的口語(yǔ)。有關(guān)學(xué)好口語(yǔ)需要多少詞匯量的問(wèn)題幾乎已經(jīng)被討論爛了，比較公認(rèn)的結(jié)論應(yīng)該是500-800日常詞匯足矣。換句話說(shuō)，如果你具備1，000以上的詞匯，但口語(yǔ)仍然不好，那請(qǐng)一定不要把原因歸結(jié)為詞匯量不夠，也請(qǐng)一定不要把解決辦法定位于背單詞。其實(shí)，除去因?yàn)槿狈毩?xí)造成的表達(dá)不夠流利之外，口語(yǔ)不好的主要問(wèn)題在于對(duì)一些小詞掌握的不夠到位。比如get，take，make這樣的動(dòng)詞，搭配上不同的介詞，幾乎可以表達(dá)所有的日常動(dòng)作。因此，當(dāng)你覺(jué)得你有意思表達(dá)不出來(lái)時(shí)，先不慌查字典找單詞，而應(yīng)該問(wèn)問(wèn)自己，你是不是可以用已經(jīng)學(xué)過(guò)的很簡(jiǎn)單的單詞和詞組來(lái)表達(dá)這個(gè)意思？所以說(shuō)，為了提高口語(yǔ)，是沒(méi)有必要專(zhuān)門(mén)背單詞的，相反，應(yīng)該把所知道的簡(jiǎn)單詞匯學(xué)好，學(xué)精。你知道see是看見(jiàn)，是否知道see off是告別？你知道large是大，又知道at large表示逃亡在外么？再次向口語(yǔ)不好的朋友們推薦《學(xué)好17個(gè)動(dòng)詞走遍天下》，以后千萬(wàn)別動(dòng)不動(dòng)就拿起詞匯書(shū)來(lái)背了。

接下來(lái)我們看看寫(xiě)作。雅思考試作文的批改方式比較特殊，是analytical scoring，而不是象TOEFL采取的global scoring。什么叫g(shù)lobal scoring呢？其實(shí)它比較象我們中學(xué)時(shí)的作文評(píng)分方式，就是一眼看上去大概是什么水平，屬于哪個(gè)檔次，就給多少分。那么analytical scoring又是怎么回事呢？我們翻譯過(guò)來(lái)叫做“分項(xiàng)評(píng)分”。雅思作文評(píng)分有三項(xiàng)：內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)，連貫銜接，語(yǔ)言質(zhì)量。每一項(xiàng)分別評(píng)分，要注意，在給每一項(xiàng)評(píng)分時(shí)是不受其他兩項(xiàng)影響的。也就是說(shuō)，哪怕你的文章離題萬(wàn)里，只要文字優(yōu)美，那么語(yǔ)言那一項(xiàng)也是有可能打8分的。三項(xiàng)加起來(lái)除以三，就是一篇作文的最終得分。那么這種分項(xiàng)評(píng)分到底有什么好處呢？顯然是有的，因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)作為外語(yǔ)，普遍中國(guó)學(xué)生寫(xiě)作文時(shí)語(yǔ)言水平有限，因此如果把握好文章的內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)，在連貫方面處理得好，完全可以將最終分?jǐn)?shù)提上去。而把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，做好連貫銜接，顯然與詞匯量的大小絲毫扯不上關(guān)系吧？退一步講，如果要提高寫(xiě)作的語(yǔ)言質(zhì)量，也幾乎不取決于詞匯量大小。關(guān)于這一點(diǎn)，我在《關(guān)于寫(xiě)作的一點(diǎn)個(gè)人體會(huì)》中詳細(xì)闡述，這里不再?gòu)U話。

說(shuō)起聽(tīng)力，我又要提起我反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)的一個(gè)概念：聽(tīng)力詞匯量。聽(tīng)力詞匯量區(qū)別于閱讀詞匯量，簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)，就是不看拼寫(xiě)，僅從發(fā)音判斷就能確定認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞，才屬于你的聽(tīng)力詞匯量。對(duì)于聽(tīng)力水平普遍不高的中國(guó)考生，可能聽(tīng)力詞匯量還不到閱讀詞匯量的一半。而雅思聽(tīng)力考試顯然要求的是更多的聽(tīng)力詞匯量，而不是

閱讀詞匯。從這一點(diǎn)出發(fā)，整天抱著詞匯書(shū)死背，往紙上反復(fù)抄寫(xiě)，對(duì)提高聽(tīng)力詞匯量有百害而無(wú)一益。其次，雅思聽(tīng)力作為考察英語(yǔ)國(guó)家生存能力的測(cè)試，對(duì)日常用語(yǔ)考得非常頻繁。雅思聽(tīng)力的特色題目就是填空，簡(jiǎn)答這樣需要?jiǎng)邮痔顚?xiě)單詞的題目。而需要填寫(xiě)的單詞往往是日常用詞。比如有一次考過(guò)jackfruit（菠蘿蜜），還考過(guò)pomelo（釉子），這樣的詞生活中很常用，可是好象哪本單詞書(shū)中都不會(huì)收錄吧？那么，整日抱著單詞書(shū)背，意義究竟何在？

最后我們來(lái)討論存在爭(zhēng)議最大的閱讀問(wèn)題。

雅思考試的閱讀文章往往是從報(bào)刊雜志上摘下來(lái)的，這樣就造成大量的專(zhuān)有名詞，以及一些不常用的詞匯。這樣造成了考生在考試時(shí)遇到大量不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞，因此帶來(lái)的結(jié)果就是，很多人馬上將自己無(wú)法答對(duì)題的原因歸結(jié)為不認(rèn)識(shí)單詞，將解決辦法歸納為背單詞。于是背了劉毅的5000和10000，三個(gè)月后滿(mǎn)懷信心走入考場(chǎng)，發(fā)現(xiàn)不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞比上次還多！很多培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)也很不負(fù)責(zé)地拿有些考生的成績(jī)來(lái)做虛假宣傳，說(shuō)某某詞匯量多少，于是閱讀多少分耳耳，好象他的成績(jī)就歸功于他詞匯量一樣。那么，問(wèn)題究竟出在什么地方？

要了解這一點(diǎn)，首先有必要了解一下雅思閱讀的出題原則和思路。雅思閱讀是考察從文章中獲得有效信息的能力，因此充滿(mǎn)生詞是必然的，問(wèn)題在于你能否從中讀出對(duì)你有用的信息。我可以完全負(fù)責(zé)任的說(shuō)，雅思閱讀從來(lái)不出從上下文推斷詞義的題目，換句話說(shuō)，雅思閱讀中根本就沒(méi)有考察詞匯量的題??！

象summary，short anwser question這樣的題目，只需要你從原文中尋找特定的信息，哪怕它是個(gè)專(zhuān)有名詞，你不認(rèn)識(shí)，沒(méi)關(guān)系，找出來(lái)填進(jìn)去就是了。對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，最難的題當(dāng)屬T/F/NG，這種題怎么考呢？比如，文中講Tom is taller than Mary。題目中說(shuō)Tom is as tall as Mary。那么顯然，這道題為FALSE。有人說(shuō)這太簡(jiǎn)單了，雅思不會(huì)考這么簡(jiǎn)單的，其實(shí)這說(shuō)明你沒(méi)有意識(shí)到T/F/NG題的精髓所在罷了。對(duì)于雅思考試來(lái)說(shuō)，無(wú)非就是把TOM，MARY這樣的詞換成誰(shuí)都不認(rèn)識(shí)的專(zhuān)有名詞來(lái)嚇唬人而已，因?yàn)門(mén)/F/NG題根本就不考你的詞匯量，它考的是你對(duì)句意的把握。而能否正確把握句意，取決于你的語(yǔ)法和句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析能力，與詞匯量無(wú)關(guān)。下面舉個(gè)真實(shí)考試的例子大家就明白了。

文中說(shuō)&& is a poor predictor,%% is little better than &&.題目說(shuō)%% is a good predictor.（&&和%%表示兩個(gè)難詞）。好，這個(gè)題答案是什么呢？是FALSE。為什么呢？很顯而易見(jiàn)，這里的專(zhuān)有名詞我都沒(méi)寫(xiě)出來(lái)，認(rèn)不認(rèn)識(shí)肯定對(duì)答題不影響，這里題目考察的是對(duì)little better than這個(gè)語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的理解，你必須知道這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，才能正確把握句子的意思。那么什么人需要背單詞呢？那就是連

poor，little這樣的詞都不認(rèn)識(shí)的人才需要背，也就是我開(kāi)頭說(shuō)的那些基礎(chǔ)實(shí)在太差，詞匯量可能只有三位數(shù)的人。而對(duì)于很多詞匯量并不小的人，由于不認(rèn)識(shí)little better than這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，照樣無(wú)法做對(duì)題目。

舉個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的例子，無(wú)非是想告訴大家，要看清閱讀考試的實(shí)質(zhì)，千萬(wàn)不要輕易將做錯(cuò)題的原因歸結(jié)為詞匯不夠。其實(shí)造成閱讀能力有限的原因是多方面的，主要是閱讀速度和對(duì)句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析能力。前者必須通過(guò)廣泛的閱讀來(lái)鍛煉和提高，而后者，說(shuō)到底是一個(gè)英語(yǔ)基本功是否扎實(shí)的問(wèn)題，冰凍三尺非一日之寒，解決語(yǔ)法問(wèn)題是慢工夫，并不是背背單詞就可以提高英語(yǔ)水平的。

說(shuō)到這里，很多朋友可能會(huì)這樣問(wèn)，你寫(xiě)這個(gè)是不是就是要大家把手里的單詞書(shū)全都扔掉？非也。對(duì)于很多已經(jīng)工作的朋友，或者長(zhǎng)時(shí)間不接觸英語(yǔ)的朋友，找一本合適自己的詞匯書(shū)看看，是盡快恢復(fù)的最好辦法之一。背單詞的關(guān)鍵在精不在多，對(duì)于一個(gè)單詞，并不是看到它知道中文意思就足夠的，如果讓你造個(gè)句子你會(huì)不會(huì)用？如果在收音機(jī)里聽(tīng)到它你能不能分辨出來(lái)？這都是衡量對(duì)詞匯的掌握程度。因此，反復(fù)復(fù)習(xí)，反復(fù)再實(shí)踐中運(yùn)用剛學(xué)到的單詞，才是背單詞的正道。

本人是機(jī)械背單詞的強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)者，因此從不推薦詞匯參考書(shū)。如果非要說(shuō)起來(lái)的話，找一本用法詳細(xì)，注解豐富（最好有英文注解）的四級(jí)詞匯書(shū)，足矣 ：）

PS：這里我想談?wù)労芏嗨^《雅思詞匯》這樣的書(shū)。鄭重其事告訴大家，這種書(shū)絕大多數(shù)都是不科學(xué)的。首先，雅思考試沒(méi)有明確大綱，只要在英語(yǔ)中出現(xiàn)的詞匯，都有出現(xiàn)在卷子上的可能，并沒(méi)有規(guī)定哪些詞匯才是所謂“雅思詞匯”。很多編者宣稱(chēng)他的書(shū)是經(jīng)過(guò)多少多少次對(duì)真題的統(tǒng)計(jì)得出的結(jié)論而搞出來(lái)的詞頻，大家千萬(wàn)不要輕易上當(dāng)。首先，雅思真題保密工作很好，真題不可能在考場(chǎng)外泄露，而考生離開(kāi)考場(chǎng)是不準(zhǔn)帶出一張紙。那么這些所謂的“統(tǒng)計(jì)者”，從哪里搞來(lái)那么多的真題作為統(tǒng)計(jì)材料？用腦子把卷子一字不差背下來(lái)？呵呵。其次，由于雅思考試的特殊性，每次考題與上次幾乎沒(méi)有關(guān)系，也就是說(shuō)，一次考題中出現(xiàn)什么單詞，與它上次出現(xiàn)與否，下次還會(huì)不會(huì)出現(xiàn)，是完全沒(méi)有規(guī)律可循的。做這種統(tǒng)計(jì)本身就是無(wú)意義的。希望廣大鴨友們?cè)谶x取參考書(shū)的時(shí)候一定要睜大眼睛，千萬(wàn)不要被*商蒙蔽。

第四篇：雅思寫(xiě)作

Topic: only when people make a large sum of money can they be said successful.Do you agree or disagree?

It is vital to define success although currently criteria are colorful.A sound definition of the term helps people to live and learn better.Moreover, it plays an important role in the construction of good social mores.It is wrong to say that people are not successful if they have failed to make a huge sum of money.The reason is that whether one is successful is not only measured with material yardstick but also against the spiritual criterion.Spiritual achievements and contributions bear little relationship with money.Put it in other word, many of those who have not earned sufficient money are considered successful for their accomplishments.For instance, my mother has never been able to make enough money but she is successful in that she has told us why we live.To emphasize the spiritual elements in the understanding of what success is is not to deny the importance of the ability to make money.On the contrary, the capability to make a massive sum of money in many cases is a kind of success.In terms of the individual development, any human being in a modern society where money is the main economic dimension must be able to live independently by means of earning and spending.In terms of the society development, a country must be rich enough to protect basic human rights, provide foods, and offer education to its members.Otherwise it is not successful.In conclusion, money is not the only standard of success, but it is necessary to be able to make money.

第五篇：雅思寫(xiě)作

Topic: Should grad student be paid higher than non-grads?

In China, it is obvious now that the university graduates earn more money than non-graduates(a funny contrast in which it was opposite scenario when in 1970s China).I quite agree with those graduates who have paid a lot for their studies and expect to make more for either himself or his family.However, it is not so optimistically for those who hope to make it.The critical career competition makes them frustrated due to many factors involved.One of the utmost factors is they feel what they anticipate is not matching up with what they have found in reality.Many university graduates are not satisfied with what they get for what they have done.As a matter of fact, some of them expect so unrealistic that they immediately lose the credit to the workforce they belong to.On the contrary, some of the non-graduate students who are more realistic in career hunting tend to get more satisfied job compared with graduates.Thus what really matters here in salary balance is how one can contribute to the organization rather than what background they hold.The tuition is really high in China.Many high quality students due to this have lost their academic pursuit.This is really shameful for a family or any government who initially should take the burden for whatever reason is supposed to be.Any responsible government should inevitably take this burden and put more money in order to bring up better next generation for the nation.
