雅思写作考试题型解析:
雅思考试(学术类)写作部分需要把作文写在答题卡上,总共用时60分钟,建议同学们花费20分钟写作文一(小作文)、40分钟写作文二(大作文),如果对作文一把握不大希望写好作文二拼高分的,可以先写作文二,但也不能花费超过45分钟在作文二上面。
作文一(小作文):
题型大多是根据图表或表格提供的信息或数据而进行分析和描述,建议字数不少于150字,写作时间15-20分钟。
评分标准:
(1)是否回应题目要求;
(2)句子是否连贯、结构是否清晰;
(3)使用词汇是否恰当;
(4)语法是否多样及准确。
作文二(大作文):
题目一般会要求考生对一些看法、问题或议题进行论述或提出解决办法。在进行论述时,学生可能需要论证和证明一个看法、对比不同的论据或看法、评价和反驳一个论点或观点。考察的是考生对一个论点进行论述、并提供清晰的论据或距离支持论点的能力。建议字数不少于250字,写作时间40-45分钟(尽量控制在40分钟)。
评分标准:
(1)是否回应题目要求、以恰当的方式完成题目中提出的写作任务;论点是否切中题目的要求、论证过程是否完整、论点是否得到了论据的支持、考生的观点是否清晰和有效;
(2)连贯性和结构层次:考生能否将信息和要点进行组织(如分段)、段与段之间是否连贯;
(3)词汇:是否广泛、准确、恰当;
(4)语法:多样性和准确性。
扣分点:
1)没把作文写在答卷上;
2)字数达不到最低要求:小作文如果写141-150个字不会扣分,但是少于140个字则将会扣分,建议同学们写170字;大作文写了241-250字不会扣分,但是少于240字就会开始扣分。如果不确定自己词汇和语法的准确性,建议也不要写太多字,因为错得越多,扣分越多;
3)字迹太潦草:雅思考官平均只用4-5分钟的时间批改一份试卷,所以如果作文一和作文二的字迹都很潦草,一来给考官的印象就很不好,二来考官也不会仔细辨认你写的是什么而是直接当你写错!所以就算书写不好看也请尽量把每个单词写清楚,不要让考官猜你写的内容;
4)文章偏题或跑题;
5)抄袭(会被重扣),这里请注意,我们在引言部分要描述题目,但必须要改写(paraphrase)题目而非抄写(copy)题目,如果你是完全照抄,考官就有可能会把你抄写的部分从总字数里减去(比如你抄了40个字,即便你写了270字也可能被当做只写了230字)。所以要注意替换关键词,就算是自己写的内容,也尽量不要一直沿用同一个词来表达,最好尝试用多个词汇来表达同一样东西,在词汇方面也会容易得到高分;
6)文章不完整、内容互相没有关联:开头要有引言部分,中间的段落也要有层层递进或者是平行关系,而且要用恰当的连词,比如表层次的on the one hand,... on the other hand; first, ... second, ... finally;表递进的moreover, in addition,furthermore;表总结的in a word, to sum up, in brief, in short等。

作文一(小作文):
1. The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.
The two charts compare the populations of France and India in terms of age distribution by gender in the year 1984.
回应:
It is clear that the population of India was younger than that of France in 1984, with a noticeably larger proportion of people aged under 20. France, on the other hand, had a significantly larger percentage of elderly inhabitants.
In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age bracket above this contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the population. France’s population, by contrast, was more evenly distributed across the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) for each five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of all French people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was only 2%.
Looking more closely at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of French women than men in every cohort from age 50 upwards. For example, almost 3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were women, while just under 2% were men. No significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian population chart.

2. The pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries.
The charts compare Korea, Sweden and the UK in terms of the methods used in each country to dispose of harmful waste.
回应:
It is clear that in both the UK and Sweden, the majority of dangerous waste products are buried underground. By contrast, most hazardous materials in the Republic of Korea are recycled.
Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 82% of the UK’s dangerous waste is put into landfill sites. This disposal technique is used for 55% of the harmful waste in Sweden and only 22% of similar waste in Korea. The latter country recycles 69% of hazardous materials, which is far more than the other two nations.
While 25% of Sweden's dangerous waste is recycled, the UK does not recycle at all. Instead, it dumps waste at sea or treats it chemically. These two methods are not employed in Korea or Sweden, which favour incineration for 9% and 20% of dangerous waste respectively.

3.
The line graph compares average yearly spending by Americans on mobile and landline phone services from 2001 to 2010.
回应:
It is clear that spending on landline phones fell steadily over the 10-year period, while mobile phone expenditure rose quickly. The year 2006 marks the point at which expenditure on mobile services overtook that for residential phone services.
In 2001, US consumers spent an average of nearly $700 on residential phone services, compared to only around $200 on cell phone services. Over the following five years, average yearly spending on landlines dropped by nearly $200. By contrast, expenditure on mobiles rose by approximately $300.
In the year 2006, the average American paid out the same amount of money on both types of phone service, spending just over $500 on each. By 2010, expenditure on mobile phones had reached around $750, while the figure for spending on residential services had fallen to just over half this amount.

作文二(大作文):
1. Computers & Children
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In today's modern world, computers are an essential part of everyday life. Around the globe, children often use computers from a very young age. Although it is important for children to participate in various well-balanced activities, in my opinion, children who use the computer daily are actually developing a critical skill for future success. The bases for my views are personal, academic, and professional.
From a personal point of view, computers are an invaluable resource to help young people explore the world around them. For example, children who use Internet to satisfy their curiosity about diverse topics are already becoming independent learners. No child with a computer is ever bored! By starting early in their lives, children feel totally at ease around computers; they are also able to take advantage of the wide range of services computers provide.
From an academic viewpoint, children have no choice but to master this technological invention. For instance, when I was in university, students brought their laptops to class to take notes, do research and exchange information. They wrote assignments, created presentations and developed databases. Children who build early confidence and experience in these abilities are at a distinct advantage over those who have not.
From a professional perspective, the computer has found a permanent place in the workplace. Today, employers still pay to provide computer training to their employees. Tomorrow, corporations will expect prospective job applicants to already possess these critical job skills. Consequently, parents who encourage their child to use the computer for a reasonable period of time daily are in fact investing in the child's future career.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that the computer as a technological tool is here to stay. The sooner children become computer-literate, the better for many aspects of their future lives.

2. Universities & Gender Issues
Universities should accept equal numbers of men and women in every subject.
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
You should write at least 250 words.
Gender issues have been increasing in importance through the centuries. In almost every sphere of human activity, there has been a movement towards greater equality between men and women. Although I agree that universities should open their doors to all students alike, in my view, they need not set a fixed limit on the number of men and women they accept in each subject. The bases for my views are psychological and personal.
Psychologically-speaking, men and women are simply different, though they have the same potential for greatness. For example, women tend to be more intuitive, sensitive to others and caring. This means they may feel drawn, on the basis of their personalities, to certain kinds of professions such as teaching, nursing, or psychology, even if all fields are open to them. In such a context, it is best for universities to choose the best applicants, regardless of gender.
Personally, students need to discover their true calling. This is an individual matter and is not influenced by the universities reserving seats for men or women. For example, if the majority of women shy away from math or engineering, perhaps it has to do with their upbringing, which has influenced their interests. The universities will not be able to reverse this trend, though they should always look out for the most qualified candidates.
In conclusion, equality cannot be forced upon people – not in the area of education, employment or family life. Equality is about having choices and those who prove themselves capable will qualify for university, regardless of gender. It is only right that universities reflect and respect these free and natural choices being exercised by their students.

3. Good Parents
The rising levels of congestion and air pollution found in most of the world cities can be attributed directly to the rapidly increasing number of private cars in use. In order to reverse this decline in the quality of life in cities, attempts must be made to encourage people to use their cars less and public transport more. Discuss possible ways to encourage the use of public transport.
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
You should write at least 250 words.
In a world of increasing environmental awareness improved public transport represents the way of the future. Although people do enjoy the convenience and privacy of traveling in their own private vehicles, in my opinion they may choose public transport if it fulfills certain conditions. These conditions fall into three broad categories: attitudinal, financial and logistical.
From an attitudinal perspective, people must first be convinced of the benefits of public transportation. An educational or public relations campaign must be launched to sensitize those who might have disregarded this possibility before. People should be familiarized with the environmental, social and personal benefits for present and future generations. This is one step.
From a financial perspective, public transportation must be a clear and viable benefit to consumers. In other words, it must be more affordable than driving to work every day. For example, if people know that by using bus and subway, they can save enough money to take a free holiday each year, many more individuals would be persuaded to travel in this way. This is another critical step.
From a logistical perspective, public transportation should be convenient for commuters. City planners and transport officials must ensure that frequent and reliable public transportation is available for each citizen. For people to make the habit of traveling by bus or subway, they must know that they will be able to get to various places on time. Transport vehicles must be well maintained, subway and bus drivers should be customer-oriented and service must be punctual and efficient. This is an additional important step.
In conclusion, through a multi-pronged approach, it is possible to increase the use of public transportation. City officials and politicians can lead the way by utilizing these forms of transport themselves and bringing about change through personal example. Then, more citizens will follow suit and we may all hope to live in a cleaner, less polluted environment.
