雅思寫作考試一直是中國考生的難點，朗閣的名師分析有這些原因：首先，考生對中英文表達(dá)的準(zhǔn)確切換沒有理解把握好，里面充斥著大量的漢式英語。在和許多學(xué)生接觸的過程中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)很多同學(xué)去背誦一些所謂的雅思詞匯卻不知道如何正確使用，就會出現(xiàn)表達(dá)生硬，用詞不當(dāng)?shù)那闆r。其實所謂的難詞并不是幫助學(xué)生在詞匯方面獲得高分的決定因素，而是準(zhǔn)確恰當(dāng)，符合英語表達(dá)習(xí)慣的詞匯和詞組才是關(guān)鍵。其次，就是思路由于缺乏必要的知識面而無法拓展。事實上在烤鴨們備考的過程中做閱讀得高分的同時也可以訓(xùn)練自己的寫作方面。那如何入手呢？

策略一：熟悉考試話題并摘抄有用詞匯

就13年9月28日和11月16日的雅思作文考題而言：

Some people think they have right to use as much fresh water as they want, others, otherwise believes governments should strictly control the use of fresh water as it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some languages are increasing in use, while many others are declining. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

顯然，烤鴨們可以很快地說出這兩個考題的內(nèi)容與劍橋7和4上的閱讀非常相近?；腥淮笪蛑?，這兩篇文章中的優(yōu)美詞匯就可以做個摘抄：

比如說在劍橋7 Test1 passage1中，文章的標(biāo)題是Making every drop count說的就是要節(jié)約用水。其實看到這個標(biāo)題，在上面9月28日的那個考題的后半句就有很多的詞匯可以摘抄：manipulate water resource/ innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers/despite our progress, half of the world’s population still suffer/more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water/ some two and a half billion do not have adequate sanitation services/ the consequence of our water policies extend beyond jeopardizing human health/ more than 20% of all fresh water fish species are now threatened or endangered because dam and water withdrawals have destroyed the free-flowing river system

同樣，針對11月16日的雅思題目，劍橋4 Test2 passage1也可以為烤鴨們提供很多有用的詞匯：the native language is dying/ most of speakers are mid-aged or elderly/ Navajo is far from alone./ half of the world’s 6800 languages are likely to vanish within two generations/ never before has the planet’s linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace. / it was a mass extinction/ Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers

好的詞匯真是不勝枚舉。很顯然，朗閣海外考試研究中心的老師今天列出了部分與這兩個考題相關(guān)的詞匯說明：烤鴨要非常熟知雅思議論文所涉及的考點和話題，只有這樣，當(dāng)烤鴨們在做閱讀文章后就可以對已經(jīng)完成相關(guān)練習(xí)的文章進(jìn)行話題規(guī)整并進(jìn)行單詞摘抄。在此同時又可以學(xué)到地道的表達(dá)方法，避諱中式英語表達(dá)。

策略二：寫讀書筆記

這樣做的優(yōu)點就是可以把剛才已經(jīng)摘抄好的單詞學(xué)以致用：因為單詞的掌握必須在特定的語言環(huán)境或語境下烤鴨們才能掌握，才能在考場時間那么緊的情況下完成相應(yīng)的寫作任務(wù)。還是列舉劍橋4的那篇文章，烤鴨可以把這個文章分兩個小點來寫：造成瀕危語言現(xiàn)象的原因及這樣的現(xiàn)象帶來的消極影響和如何保護(hù)它們。事實上文章仔細(xì)看的話，這兩個脈絡(luò)非常清晰：

原因：Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers. What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children, it is relatively safe. The critically endangered languages are those that are only spoken by the director of the …/ why do people reject the languages of their parents? It begins with a crisis of confidence when a small group finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society/ people lose faith in their culture/ they can not refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English…

消極影響：Language is also bound up with culture, so it is difficult to preserve one without the other. /the loss of diversity may also deprive us of different ways of looking at the world.

保護(hù)它們：Preservation can bring a language back from the dead/ they are examples of languages that have survived in written form and then been revived by later generations.

當(dāng)烤鴨們筆記寫到這樣的程度就可以將以上內(nèi)容按照三個段落書寫并填充相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，甚至還可以百度一下全球一些在這些方面做的比較出色的例子。

同理對于劍橋7的那篇文章，烤鴨們發(fā)現(xiàn)全文講了兩個大的方面：水資源匱乏所帶來的問題及其如何應(yīng)對。那么如果烤鴨們?nèi)绻趥淇紩r正好做過相關(guān)的讀書筆記，那么高分真是志在必得。

請看所帶來的問題：yet there is a dark picture/ more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water/ preventable water-related disease kill an estimated 10,000 children every day/ more than 20% of all fresh water fish species are threatened or endangered because dams and reservoirs have destroyed the free-flowing river system where they thrive/ groundwater aquifers are being pumped down faster than they are naturally replenished

相關(guān)措施：people have figured out how to use water efficiently/ thanks to a range of technologies that help to conserve water in homes and industry/ communities are rethinking their priorities for water use

運用這兩段的筆記內(nèi)容就可以順利完成了。

寫作是一個厚積薄發(fā)的過程，是一項將積累釋放于一時的過程。積累越深厚，釋放就越精彩；積累越科學(xué)，釋放就越有效。讀書是積累的一種有效的形式。我們說積累是寫作的源泉和基礎(chǔ)，因為寫作需要你具有以下能力：

1、發(fā)現(xiàn)、收集素材的能力；

2、閱讀分析消化能力；

3、整理歸納能力；

這些能力的綜合水平?jīng)Q定了你的寫作能力的高低。
