一、写作建议
在雅思考试中，写作部分Task 2对许多烤鸭们来说似乎总是一个大问题。很多考生总是在问：到底怎么才能写好文章呢？事实上，区区250个字的文章，比起大家之后在外留学时被要求所写的essay而言，真的是小巫见大巫呀。但由于中国学生缺少写作的训练，不仅是英文，毫不夸张地说，中文的写作现在也鲜有人为之，那么，要用英文清晰表达自己观点并予以支持的困难就更不言而喻了。很多考生也时常抱怨说，某某话题，就是用中文也写不出来。那么，就跟不用提用英文来清晰表述思想了。
若言而无物，原因只有一个：读得少了。俗话说，七分读，三分写。但我们现在大部分的考生，在繁重的工作学业压力下，读书——读深刻的书，机会是很少的。虽然，在雅思考试中，观点本身是没有好坏的，但往往很多时候，观点就一个小短句，倘若无法将文章进行发展，给更多充分的理由，你的对手（写essay，就像辩论，在自己的对方立个靶子，有利于观点的严密。）很快就将你打败了。于是，很多考生挖空心思地去找例子，觉得只要例子，把例子往那一贴，万事大吉了。抱有这种想法的生，往往讲例子写的很长，多的会占去3-4行。举例后，也往往不再对例子的功能进行解释。那么很显然，一篇文章如同拼贴画，棱角分明。就又会伤害到文章的coherence & cohesion。如果大家去仔细研读考官的范文，会发现，文章对例子的运用并不多，即便使用也是一笔带过，以求变化。归根结底，文章，重在言之有物、言之有理，文以明道、文以载道。
因此，啰啰嗦嗦了的一大堆话，还是希望，所有的考生在考试前不要寄希望于所谓的模板，背一背，套一套，走走形式就好了。现在市面上，雅思参考书，写作模板书，写作高分书，比比皆是，这倒的确符合这个娱乐社会的主色调。不过，要真想取得雅思写作高分，还是一步一步走吧。当然，我们是可以选择走一条捷径的。以下是我根据前几年雅思烤鸭前辈们走过的血路留下的机经，以及几种常见的话题分类方式筛选，整理的“话题分类机经”。在备考的时候，及根据以下几个话题，寻找论据，并学会活用论据，一个论据可以反复地使用在不同的话题上，只要你能自圆其说。事实上，下面这个分类希望是抛砖引玉，大家大可以在我这个分类的基础上，进行修改，使其更符合你们的思维方式。
此外，列提纲。列提纲对写作十分重要，这是一个抽象思维逻辑化的过程，只有经过反复思考，才能条理清晰，即便很多时候，文章发展段只有两段，这两段前后顺序的不同以及transition使用的不同，完全可以引起截然不同的文章基调。
随后，写出topic sentence，并反复修改，尽量达到准确表达意思的同时句型复杂。在临考前，不要忘记模考，这个是让你最快体验考试环境的方式了。每一个话题至少选择一个进行限时模考，对于自己相当不熟悉的话题，更要给予关注，切莫抱有侥幸心心理。
最后，为即将考试的烤鸭们做一个预测。根据前四个月的话题分布情况，发现：常考的教育与学习类话题，在1-4月没有考过，唯一的一道是出现在5月8日。科技发展的影响占较大的比例。此外，关于生活的休闲娱乐、犯罪问题、文化艺术、媒体影响都没有考过。因此，在之后的考试中，那些之前没有出现的话题，考到的可能性较大。所以近期要参加考试的同学可以多多准备此类话题的论据，尤其是文化艺术犯罪方面的。加油啊！
