雅思大作文备考攻略
一、了解雅思大作文的内容和模式
雅思Writing Task 2所占的分数比例比WritingTask 1高，难度和对于英语水平的要求都比较高。花在Task 1的建议时间是20分钟，而花在Task2的建议时间是40分钟，但也应留小量时间在最后阶段作最后检查。在Task2这一部份，必须写一篇至少250字的评论或报告，测试的不只是考生的写作能力，同时考察考生的思考和判断能力，因此考生们应该对一些社会新闻和常识有一定的认识和见解。
二、写作步骤
1. 分析题目
Writing Task 2的问题可分为两类。
第一类问题需要以讨论形式作答，需要讲出正反两面双方的论点和自己的立场。可以设想这是一场辩论比赛，但要为两方发言，考生要写出足够的证据支持自己的论点和反驳对立的论点。
第二类问题是以报告形式作答，需要多描述和发掘有关题目的处境，并不需要太着重写自己的意见，应描述有关题目的处境和发掘事件的成因。虽然并不需要支持正/反一方的论点，但应在真实的处境上提出真实的证据。
2. 考虑答案
在考虑答案时，应能想到两个或以上的论据支持自己的论点，这步骤被称为“Brainstorming”。考生可在一张白纸上写下所有在脑中浮现的文字，先不用理会写下的是否有用，可将题目也写在纸上，然后在围绕题目的地方将所写下的文字分门别类。
在第一类问题上，应至少想到2个或以上的支持论据，而在第二类问题上，也应至少想到2个或以上可供讨论的话题，但无论是回答哪一类问题，不建议写超过4个论据或话题，否则由于字数的限制，文章会变得太空泛。
3. 计划和组织答案
考生或许没有时间完整写出计划，但必须在心里组织和安排好答案。
主要需要安排好4部份：
1) 题目和问题-要认清题目的要求和找出题目中想问的问题;
2) 介绍-这是用来表达文章的大意，如果要写的是一篇评论文，笔者的方向也要在这里表达出来;
3) 主体-如主体分为三段的话，通常前两段是观点和理由，后一段是用来平衡讨论的相反观点;
4) 结论-会包括一点比较次要的观点。
4. 写答案
在一篇250字的.文章中，介绍文应占大约40个字而结论文应占大约30个字。当计划好后，便可以开始作答。
1) 介绍(Introduction)
介绍文是一篇文章的“地图”，用来提导读者方向。介绍文中第一句的作用是用来说明整篇文章的总义和介绍文章的主题。之后的一至两句则是用来表达自己的个人意见(评论文)或支持论点的客观事实(报告)，通常介绍文的最后一句是用来引出主体文。
2) 主体(Body)
与介绍文一样，主体文每段的第一句都是用来说明整段的大意，之后的内容可用连接词(如However, Although, Notonly, Also, Even though, Consequently, In addition等等)或顺序词(Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly ...)连贯在一起。
在一篇文章中，连接词尽量不要重复。如提出了一个论点，在同一段落里必须有支持这个论点的理由和证据，每段的最后一句通常用来总结整段的意思。在一篇评论文中，必须有一段相反论点以平衡整个讨论，在这一段里，必须能有理地反驳这些相反论点，讲出为什么要持相反意见。可强烈地、温和地或只是部分地反对。
以下是一些应写在这一段内的建议句子：
Many people…
Others…
Those who disagree believe that ... / may argue that ... /point out that ...
However, I strongly disagree ...
Nothing could be further from the truth (Strongdisagreement) because ...
In fact, ...
... for the following reasons: I find it hard to agree...
Nevertheless, I cannot agree ... (Mild disagreement)
Perhaps this is true, but it cannot be denied that ...
This is partly true, then again ... (Concessionaldisagreement)
3) 结论(Conclusion)
结论文的开始通常都会用一个特别结论句式(In general, To sum up, Toconclude, In conclusion等等)来串联整段。在结论文中，条件句(Conditional sentence) (If....,....)是非常有用的。当然，在文章的其他位置也可以用条件句，使用条件句时，须注意有没有文法错误。
在一篇250字的文章中，结论文通常只能有一至两句。结论只是用来总结文章之前的意思，除非只是一个次要观点，否则不要在这段内提出任何新见解，但如果题目要求的话，可在结论上提出建议、推荐、介绍和解决方法。
5. 检查答案
考生们千万不要忽略检查这一重要步骤，通过检查考生会发现一些拼写错误，标点符号使用错误等等，避免不必要的失误，才会增加取得高分的胜算。
