Patrick 考试经验分享 (test-taking tips)
有人提出先写task2再写task1.这种说法听起来好像很新颖,其实是在回避考试的不
确定性,与先写task1再写task2的做法没有本质的优劣之分,那么到底应该如何决定写作 顺序呢
根据我参加雅思考试的经验以及学生的反馈,在拿到考卷以后,不管一个人心理素质多好, 绝对没有人只会看一道题就开始写作.任何考生都一定会本能的现把两道题都很快的看一遍 再开始写其中的一道题.同学们很快地看完两道题目以后,如果确实觉得task2地题目自己 准备地很充分,有信心在40分钟左右写出一篇自己满意地议论文,那么就应该先写task2, 因为task2占总分地60%.但是如果看完两道题之后,你觉得task2地题目自己准备得不 充分或者一时想不出足够得内容,那么我强烈建议大家先写task1.这是因为task1的结尾 段往往需要从图表中总结出深层的关系,这个task1结尾段深层关系对评分是很重要的.而 task2的结尾段,与一些老师所持的观点相反,除了\ opinion\这一类题型之外,其他题型的结尾段只起概括上下文作用,在实际评分中并不是那 么重要.因为考官在评阅大家的task2结尾段时,一般都清楚多数同学写这一段的时候时间
已经时第58分钟甚至59分50秒了,所以考官知道task2的结尾段时无法准确反映一个考 生的写作水平的,评分的时候互放松对结尾段的要求,而重点打击开头段和主体段.
第二讲 十大全真版本范文,词汇与模板 一、Education 类
Some people think students should be allowed to evaluate their teachers' job
performance. Others believe that will lead to loss of respect and discipline. Discuss and give your own opinion. 开头段(不少于4句)
In this day and age, it is standard practice for business executive to fill out
performance-evaluation forms to give their assessment of their subordinates' work. But when it comes to the evaluation of school teachers' job performance by their students, people hold divergent views. Some argue that students should be allowed to do so. Others contend that disrespect and indiscipline will ensue if students evaluate their teachers work. Personally, I believe both these two views have some merit. 主体段1(不少于5句)
Granted, there could be some possible drawbacks to students evaluating their teachers' work. First, if not well-managed, evaluation by the students may be completely worthless or even misleading. It is manifest that not all students would give their evaluation responsibly and some students may make mean comments. Secondly, some students criticize their teacher not because their teachers have a slack attitude about their job. Rather they do so because they dislike or even despise schooling. 主体段2(不少于7句)
However, encouraging students to evaluate their teacher can bring about more boons. In the first place, it is an effective means of motivating the teachers to improve their lectures. Teachers have to keep adjusting their teaching to measure up to the expectations of the student. In the second place, regular input affords the teacher objective and balanced ideas about their own performance. Without such feedback, it is hard for the teacher to have accurate assessment of their own teaching. In the third place, a measure of
students' autonomy can make the student better prepared for their adult life. The student becomes better at decision-making and critical thinking. 结尾段(不少于3句)
In the final analysis, I concede that enabling the student to evaluate their teachers'
performance might have some potential drawback. However, by averaging out student's appraisal and encourage them to evaluate responsibly can eliminate the downside of this practice. On balance, I am convinced that allowing students to evaluate their teachers is in the best interests of students, teachers, school administrators, and the society as a whole.

Children who grow up in families without large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with problems in their adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. Do you agree or disagree
题目点评:这道题目是IELTS writing task2当中比较少见的\看着容易写好太难\的题目(很 多IELTS作文题目看起来很难,写好却不一定特别难).首先要注意到区别\ large amounts of money\和\这两个概念的差异,前者不仅仅指\ families\还包括\所以题目的意思和一些同学概括的\穷人的孩子 早当家不同\另外一个误区在于因为这道题目和中国的文化比较贴近,很多同学会举过多 的简单生活事例但是忽略了推理,论证缺乏深度.从论点上看,考虑到多数考生更熟悉中国 的国情,肯定是totally agree 更好写,布什的内阁里面现在也有拉洋板儿出生的(不过美 国的富豪的孩子当中牛人还是出了不少,四十三位总统里面也有大量的富家子弟,从整体上 看西方有钱的家长更舍得让自己的孩子经历风雨).既然观点写一边倒,那么结果当然就是 五段式――开头段转述题目+主旨句,主体段1讲一般家庭的孩子比富家孩子有更强的心 理承受能力,主体段2讲一般家庭的孩子有更强的独立性,主体段3讲普通家庭的家长对 小孩的要求往往更严格,几位段总结上三层意思.Thesis statement 和 topic sentences (范 文里用横线标明)

It is widely accepted that we have been living in a \ poorer\ been no consensus yet over the extent to which income inequality is intergenerational. Some contend that the offspring of low-income and middle-income parents can largely grow up manifest better problem-solving abilities during adulthood than their high-income family counterparts thereby turning the table socially and financially. Personally, I believe this is generally the case in any meritocratic society. (Thesis statement)
First and foremost, children raised in household not in possession of a good fortune are conditioned early on in their lives to exercise self-control and self-restraint. These
individuals learn from their infancy onward that not everything they crave will become theirs instantaneously. Every so often their wishes go beyond their parents' means and they have to come to terms with the resulting sense of frustration or rejection. Throughout the childhood and early adulthood years they are tempered by the repeated experiences of parents' denial of their requests and frugality is inculcated into their minds as a virtue. Consequently these children, for the most part, are apt to interpret scrimping and saving, emotional uneasiness, not infrequent financial strains and menial first jobs as an integral part of life rather than a devastating ordeal. Hence they end up being better able to
manage stress in their adult years and less likely to panic or get daunted when problems occur.
Further, children brought up by parents of low or middle economic status often grow up to be physically, mentally and professionally more independent than children brought up by affluent parents. It goes without saying that children whose parents are not particularly well-off are more likely than children of affluent households to know how to get the most
