雅思宅家备考新常态：没有deadline就没有生产力，缺乏小伙伴就缺乏催化剂🎛，专业点拨无处找，满头疑问无人答🧑🏼‍🔧🎴。

在搜集了最近有关备考和英语学习的困惑之后👩🏻‍🦰😭，我们请出了雅思官方的英语教学专家们，总结了这份“宅家学霸修炼指南”🙋🏽‍♀️，助你解决疑问𓀐，制定最高效的居家备考方针。

今天是写作专场🖐🏼👩‍👦‍👦！在收集写作相关问题的过程中🙅🏼‍♀️，

我们发现有两点都在困惑的：

1）考场时间怎么安排？2）到底要背多少单词？

官方英语专家的标准答案在此奉上👗：

Q1: How should I organise my time during an IELTS writing test? I always feel I run out of time during the test.

在雅思写作考试中，我总是感觉时间不够用，我应该如何安排时间🔅🪤？

The two writing tasks in IELTS are quite different so various time management techniques should be employed.

雅思写作考试的两篇写作任务明显不同🚈，因此需要采用不同的时间分配策略。

For both tasks (in General and Academic), the time limit is 60 minutes.

考试时🎖，你需要在60 分钟内完成两篇作文写作（培训类与学术类）🚣🧭。

General Task 1(letter) and Academic (data analysis), the minimum word count is 150. General/AcademicTask 2 (essay) – 250.

对于任务一🧑‍🦽，培训类作文一一般为书信🎑✸，学术类作文一则通常涉及数据分析，作文字数不少于150 词。培训类/学术类作文任务二要求写一篇不少于250 词的议论性短文。

It is recommended that you spend 20 minutes for Task 1 and 40 minutes for Task 2.

建议你用 20 分钟完成任务一，用40 分钟完成任务二。

General Task 1 培训类作文一

1. Read the prompt very carefully and think about who, what, how.

请仔细阅读题目要求🙆，明确收件人👩🏻‍🦲🤸🏼‍♂️、信件内容以及行文结构♠️。

• Who you are writing to will determine your tone – formal or informal; your friend or manager.

  收信人身份决定了写作风格——信件是写给朋友还是经理🍋‍🟩，应采用正式还是非正式文体；

• What are you writing about – make sure you cover ALL three points in your letter.

  信件内容是关于什么的🎗？——考生在信中必须涵盖全部三个要点⭕️。

• How - how do you start and end the letter; what expressions and language to use.

  如何行文？——构思信件的开头与结尾🤳🏻🎦；思考使用哪些语言和表达方式。

2. Spend 5 minutes to sketch your ideas and plan your writing.

用5 分钟时间列出写作要点与作文提纲。

• This stage is extremely important – if you have a clear idea of the above points, then you won’t feel stuck or pressed for time.

  这一步非常重要——如果你对所列要点了然于胸，那么就不会感到没有思路或时间紧迫🚆。

• Use mindmaps or bullet points to think of appropriate vocabulary to use. Try to use synonyms to show your variety of vocabulary.

  利用思维导图或列出要点的方法调动可用的合适词汇。多使用近义词，以体现丰富的词汇储备🚤。

• Write down only essential phrases/expressions. Do not waste time writing whole sentences in your planning stage.

  仅需写下关键短语/表达。列提纲时无需浪费时间写出完整句子。

3. Write your answer for about 10 minutes and try not to stop.

用10分钟的时间写作，中间尽量不要停。

• While you’re writing, if you get stuck, look back at your ideas.

  写作过程中，如果思路中断，可回看提纲中的写作要点。

• If you can’t remember a word,think of a synonym or another way to express your ideas.

  如果突然忘记某个单词，可以使用近义词替代，或者换一种表达方式。

• Try to write neatly but if youneed to cross out a section and start over, do not worry too much about it.

  注意书面整洁🚵🏽‍♂️。不过如果需要划去某些词句重新写👷🏿，也无需过度担心🤷🏽‍♂️。

• Do not count words. If you’ve practiced enough, you should have a clear idea of how much to write to fulfil the minimum word count requirement.

  不要去数单词数。如果你平时练习充分，就应该很清楚至少要写多长才能到达考试要求的字数。

4. Leave 5 minutes to read what you’ve written and correct any mistakes that you spot. This is a very important stage to spot easy mistakes and correct them!

最后的5分钟用来检查已完成的作文，并修改文中的错误🪽🦒。这一步非常重要，用于检查作文中的基本错误并予以改正👨🏻🖖🏿。

General/Academic Task 2 培训类/学术类作文二

1. Read the essay question carefully and decide on the type of essay – opinion or argumentative; one viewor two views (agree/disagree)

仔细阅读题目要求👩🏿‍🦰，确定文体风格——观点阐述或论述；单向论述或正反论述（同意/反对）。

• Essays are usually semi-formal so no informal language and expressions.

  议论性短文通常属于半正式文体，因此不要使用非正式的语言和表达方式。

2. Plan your ideas carefully. 仔细列出论述要点。

• What is the main argument? 你的主要论点是什么？

3. Write your answer for about 30 minutes. See more tips from stage 3 of General Task 1 above.

• Pay attention to the structure of the essay: introduction (2-3 sentences), body (2-3 paragraphs), and conclusion (2-3 sentences).

  注意文章架构：引言（2 – 3 句）、正文（2 – 3 段）、结论（2 -3句）。

Introduction – paraphrase the main argument and give your opinion.

引言——阐述主要论点，并给出你的个人观点。

Body – you can structure it in different ways but make sure you have paragraphs. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence which states the argument of the paragraph. Then develop the argument providing supporting ideas. The paragraphs should be linked through cohesive devices and there should be a flow throughout the essay.

正文——你可以用不同的方式组织正文结构🧘🏽‍♀️，但一定要注意划分段落🏤。每一段的开头应为主题句💪😮‍💨，用以阐明本段论点。然后展开论证🧃，给出论点依据🚞。运用衔接词连接前后段落，确保上下文连贯流畅。

Conclusion – make sure you havea conclusion! Repeat and re-state the main argument you have written about.

结论——一定要在文末进行总结🍿！重申并复述你的主要论点🦸🏽‍♀️。

4. Allow time (about 5 mins) to read what you have written and correct simple mistakes.

留出时间（约5分钟）检查已完成的作文💺，并修改文中出现的基本错误。

Q2: How large a vocabulary isneeded to get a Band 7 for Writing? Does vocabulary really matter in Writing?

需要积累多少词汇才能在雅思写作考试中得到7 分的成绩🤽🏽‍♀️？词汇在雅思写作口试中是否非常关键？

To achieve a Band 7 in Writing, a large vocabulary matters a lot. If you look at the IELTS public band descriptors (see here), you’ll notice that the Band 7 category for vocabulary (“Lexical Resource”) says the following:

若想在雅思写作考试中得到7 分，充足的词汇储备至关重要🏒🍺。如果考生阅读了雅思官网公布的写作评分标准（详见这里），就能在词汇一栏（“词汇丰富程度”）看到7分成绩相对应的评分标准，具体如下🧚🏽‍♀️：

• Uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision;

  使用足够的词汇🦻⚠，体现一定的灵活性及准确性；

• Uses less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation;

  使用不太常见的词汇，对语体及搭配有一定的认识；

• May produce occasional errors in word choice, spelling and/or word formation

  在选择用词♊️、拼写及/或构词方面可能偶尔出现错误。

It is important to pay attention to the phrase “sufficient range”. This means that you need to use a wide range of simple AND less common vocabulary. For example, if the topic of the question relates to cars, don’t just keep writing “cars” for the whole essay; use less common synonymsfor “car” like “vehicle”, “automobile”, etc. It would be unnatural to only useless common vocabulary, so remember to use a mixture of simple and more complex words.

在上述标准中，“足够的词汇”这一表述非常值得注意，系指考生需要广泛运用的简单词汇和不太常见的词汇。例如🔙💇🏻‍♂️，如果题干的主题与汽车有关，则考生要避免通篇反复使用“cars ”这个单词，可以使用与“ car ”意思相近的非常见词汇🤘🏿，如“vehicle ”、“ automobile ”等。但如果考生通篇都用非常见的词汇，则整篇作文会显得不太自然🚶‍♀️‍➡️，因此🦸🏿‍♀️，最好是综合运用简单词汇与较复杂的词汇。

It is also important that you show “some awareness of style and collocation” as you use less common vocabulary. This means that you shouldn’t just use a less common word because you memorized it; you should be able to use it in an appropriate context where native speakers would be likely to use it. To become skilled at this, you should:

还有一点很重要：考生在使用非常见词汇时🧙🏼⛳️，要注意“语境和搭配”，即考生不能仅仅因为记住了某个不太常见的单词就在作文中随便用🔢，而是应该根据英语母语人士的使用偏好，在适当的语境中使用该单词𓀔。以下方法可帮助大家掌握这方面的技能：

• watch a wide range of English language videos (TED talks, TV shows, movies, etc.);

  观看各种英语视频（如TED 演讲、电视节目⛑、英文电影等）；

• read a wide range of English language texts (websiteand newspaper articles, books, etc.) so that you can develop a feel for the language.

• 阅读各种英语文本资料（如发表于网站或报纸上的英文文章、英文书籍等），以此培养考生的语感。

Even if you make some mistakes (“occasional errors in word choice”), you can still get a 7 if you are mostly accurate in your choice of words and expressions.

即便考生在作文中出现了错误（如“个别单词用法错误”），但只要考生绝大部分的词汇与表达方式使用正确，他依然可以在写作考试中拿到7 分。
