1、.1IELTS WRITINGWEEK 2.2IELTS作文里是否可以使用I和WE？在英语国家里，许多学者明确反对在学术论文里使用I 和WE的，因为会让学术论文显得过于主观。有些人看到学生论文出现这种词甚至会勒令学生改正。那么在雅思写作中是否可以使用呢？最权威的答案来自于Cambridge English Language Assessment 提供的真实范文。剑10 P162开头段：Therefore I have to disagree 剑10 P166开头段：I believe that剑11 P137 第三段：By this i mean that 剑11 P137 结尾段：I bel
2、ieve that learning 剑12 P129 第三段：If we can reduce the number of cars 剑12 P129 结尾段：I believe in order to move 如此之多剑桥实例全都包含有I 的使用，甚至有一些旗帜鲜明使用 WE。因此，虽然我们在国外大学里写专业论文时确实应该努力避免使用这两个词，但是在写雅思议论文时，没有必要对适度使用 I 或者WE“如履薄冰”了。.3.4.5KISS is an acronym（krnm首字母缩略词）for Keep it simple,stupid as a design principle noted
3、 by the U.S.Navy in 1960.The KISS principle states（说明）that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated;therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.6同样的意思是否字数更多的英语表达才更高分？论证是一种能力，IELTS作文对于用词的要求是准确，而不是冗长。地道英语写作对于冗词（啰嗦）
4、是非常排斥的。例如：The reason is because new innovations(创新）repeat again past history cooperate together The reason is.innovationsrepeathistorycooperate(with sb.).7句子越长越难就越容易得高分嘛？很多人有这种疑问。事实上，剑桥官方评分标准里并没有要求写长难句，所谓“雅思作文必须写长难句”的说法是一些中式英语思维生搬硬套出来的结果。请您翻翻剑4剑12后面由剑桥官方提供的高分范文，到底发现了多少“无敌长难句”呢？眼见为实，请看剑12P 129,7.5分范文
5、里的这段话：“Public transport is an issue that affects us all.The taxes which we pay should be spent on the type of transport with the most benefits to all citizens.”再来看剑11P137里7分范文里的这段话：“Learning a new language for the purpose of working in other countries seems to be more and more popular.Adults in need
6、 of money or recognition are trying to pursue(psju:追求)their happiness far away from home.”.8“The question depends on the age of the child.To punish a very young child is wrong,as an infant will not understand what is happening or why he or she is being punished.However,once the age of reason(原因，理智)i
7、s reached,a child can be rewarded for good behaviour.”请问，它们是你心中的“无敌长难句”嘛？.9 该项标准明确地告诉雅思考生：除了语法的正确性之外，重点考察带从句的复合句的应用。5分标准：试图使用复合句 6分标准：简单句和复合句的混合使用（a mix）7分标准：使用多种多样的复合句（uses a variety of complex structures）那么什么才称得上多种多样呢？三种以上在英语中才能叫做a variety of，所以我们的作文中要写出四种不同的从句，比如：一篇作文中至少要写出宾语从句、定语从句、状语从句和主语从句。.10
8、什么是复合句？从结构上说，句子分为三类：1、简单句（Simple Sentence）-句子成分都由单词或短语担任，且只有一个主谓结构。例：I want a dog.2、并列句（Compound Sentence）-句子成分都由单词或短语担任，但有两个或更多的互不依从的主谓结构。I want a dog and my brother wants a cat.3、复合句（Complex Sentences）-从句担任句成分。I believe that it is not my dog.(从句担任该句宾语）.11“我常说，最大的留学感悟之一是东方人讲境界，西方人讲数据。这一点潜移默化地指导了我归国
9、后的工作学习研究，影响了整个雅思真经教学体系的建立。我对剑桥雅思考官反问进行数字统计发现：平均每篇反问270字左右，12句话。其中8个复合句，2个并列句，2个简单句。平均每句长度为23个单词，在考卷上体现为两行半。这就是满分9分范文”.12状语：状语(adverbial)是句子的重要修饰成分，是谓语里的另一个附加成分，它一般附加在谓语中心语前面，从情况、时间、处所、方式、条件、对象、肯定、否定、范围和程度等方面对谓语中心词进行修饰、限制。状语从句：由从句表示的状语可以用来修饰谓语（或其他动词）、定语或状语，或是整个句子。状语从句可以用来表示原因、让步、条件、时间、结果、比较等。.131.表示原

22、ree or disagree?例1：In order to learn a language well,we should learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?.23形式2：题目中给出双方观点，要求分析正反观点后下结论。Some say.Others argue that.What is your opinion?Discuss both views and give y

24、or the benefits of humans.Other people think it is wrong to exploit animals for human purposes.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.24Task 2中的报告文（Report）出题概率为20%题目中没有观点。只给出一种现象，让考生分析该现象的cause（原因）、solutions（解决方案）、effects（影响）等。通常标题为What are.?例3：Today,there are more images of disasters and viol
25、ence in the media.What are the causes and what are your solutions?.25.26.27.28英语作文对于introduction部分的要求是：对于每类题型，您只需要把其中最适合自己的一种练熟即可，忘掉其他种种。English essays的introduction必须速战速决，否则就变成了中式作文。.29 题型特点：不管考题了里有没有直接出现Some people think that.这样的措词，“同不同意”型的考题里面一定会含有一种观点。如果题目里在这一种观点的前面还有别的文字，那就是背景介绍。雅思官方对于introducti
26、on的唯一明确要求是short and clear。但从逻辑本质来说，同不同意型的开头不会超出这3种关系：.30（第1步）如果题目里含有背景，那么就用简单易懂的语言转述背景（绝不要用大词、难词）。如果题目里不含背景，那么你可以自己选择写或者不写背景句；（第2步）用Some people think/believe/argue that.转述题目里面所含的那种观点。转述时你的首要任务是不偏离原题里的观点，挑战有把握的地方动“小手术”即可，不要用自己没把我的难词在考场里“做实验”。很多考生被判偏题（partially off-topic）甚至完全跑题（completely off-topic）正式
27、因为在开头段转述题目的观点时就已经偏离了原题的意思；（第3步）写出你自己对这种观点所持的态度（your position）。.31（第1步）写背景句的要求和前一种写法一样（第2步）用Although I agree that,I believe that 这句话来表明你自己并不完全赞同题目里面的观点（不要忘记这句话中间的逗号）。这句话里的第一个省略号里是承认题目里的观点所具有的正确性，这句话里的第2个省略号里则是填入你自己认为被题目里面的观点忽略了的方面。相同的意思在地道英文里也可以用While I agree that,I believe that 这个结构也可以使用。.32 这种开头段的写
28、法要比前一种写法稍难一点。但它的好处是对主体段里你将要论证的两个方面进行了提前“预告”。如果你的英语基础比较好，而且不喜欢太“直白”的写法，那么可以采用这种写法。英语基础一般的同学用前一种写法就已经很好了。开头段的重点是确保扣题、明确，控制好逻辑和语法才是真正的关键。.33（第1步）写背景句的要求和前两种写法一样；（第2步）用I agree that 这句话来承认题目里的观点所具有的正确性；（第3步）用However,I believe that 指出你自己认为被题目里的观点忽略了的方面。这种开头段的写法和第二种的逻辑本质是一样的，只是从语法角度来看，你把自己的态度句分成了两个句子。.34 中
29、国同学们在写agree or disagree 型作文最容易出现的错误就是画蛇添足地引入“Others think that”,把同不同意型作文“跨界”写成了D&G型作文。官方评分标准明确规定：agree or disagree型的考题里只有一种观点，考官希望看到的事你自己对于这种观点的态度，跟“Others”没有关系。早同不同意型作文里决不允许出现“Others think that”。.35Effective Paraphrasing in EssaysOne of the most important skills in IELTS writing task 2 is knowing h
30、ow to paraphrase the question.Paraphrasing means to say something in your own words,the meaning stays the same but the words are different.In the introduction of your essay,the first thing you must do is paraphrase the topic question by either changing the structure of the sentence and formation of
