雅思作文高分技巧——克服中式英语
一、词汇贫乏，用词单一，表达呆板
二、用词不当，词不达意，中式英语充斥全文
三个方法助攻词汇难关
在分析了中国考生在词汇表达方面普遍存在的问题之后，本站将提出三条建设性意见，希望能帮助广大考生攻克写作词汇这一难关。
首先要扩充词汇，分类记忆相关词汇。雅思词汇不是孤立地存在于文章中的，它必定是与一定的话题或语境相联系的，因此，在记忆雅思词汇时，可以采取按照话题分类记忆的方法。这样，比起“字典式”A-Z的记忆法，分类记忆不仅高效，而且遇到相关话题时，也可以将这些相关词汇随手拈来，在写作中自然是得心应手，事半功倍。
雅思的写作话题基本上可以划分为教育、科技、文化、政府、媒体和环境这六大类。在记忆单词的时候，可以按照这些话题分类来背相关词汇和短语，比如说“环境”这个话题，可以将“chemical-waste”(化工废料)、“disposable products”(一次性产品)、 “ecology”(生态学)和“desertification”(沙漠化)等这些跟环境有关的词汇和短语一起打包记忆，不仅可以拓宽思路，而且在论证的过程中也可以让论据充分，论证有力。
尽管中文意思相同，许多英语单词在内涵意义，感情色彩和文化内涵上都是有所区别的，因此，在记忆词汇，尤其是同义词时，一定要清楚明白每个单词使用的具体语境是什么，切忌不顾一切，随意替换。比如“family”和“home”在中文都是“家”的意思，而“family”主要是指家庭成员，“home”则是指家庭住宅，其内涵意义是截然不同的。再者，要注意每个单词的固定搭配，切忌“闭门造词”，想当然地用中式英语写作。
最后要学会巧用同义词、反义词和派生词。在雅思写作中，要想做到词汇的多样性和表达的准确高效性，除了词汇的同义替换之外，反义词与派生词也是不错的 “秘密武器”。同义词在此就不再多费笔墨了，只是提醒广大考生在使用时要注意具体语境，能做到具体情况具体分析。而巧用反义词和派生词，不仅可以让本站们的行文词汇富于变化，而且在句式表达方式也可以多变。比如 "Fads are not unique to the United States. It is generally believed that fades are common in any country that has a strong consumer economy.”，句中的“unique”和“common”这对反义词的妙用就避免了简单词汇的重复使用，也使原文肯定句与否定句交错使用，句型上也做到了多样性。
综上所述，尽管对于广大中国考生而言，词汇是雅思写作中最大的拦路虎，可是只要考生们能够意识到自己在词汇表达方面的问题，在写作中尽量避免中式英语，注重运用多种方式加强词汇表达的多样性，词汇这只拦路虎终究也只是纸老虎而已。

雅思写作如何写好英语作文
发帖：lrzhuang
写作就是通过语言表达你自己的思想。这里面有两个要素：语言和思想。对于一个成功的写作行为来说，这两点缺一不可。在运用母语写作时，我们基本上不用花很多时间和精力去考虑语言，因而我们的重点是放在内容上。但是在学习用外语写作时，语言和内容就都需要注意。如果处理不好这两者之间的关系，我们可能就永远也学不好外语写作。
一般说来，学习外语写作有三个步骤，虽然这三个步骤是不能截然分开的。
第一， 学习这门语言的基本的词汇和语法。此时的学习者对这门外语的基本用法还未掌握，因此尚处于学习语言的基础阶段。这时写作训练一般没有，即使有也只是为练习词汇和语法服务。这种练习一般说来内容都非常简单，强调的是学习者所使用的词汇和语法必须正确。词汇-----基础，单词不可不背，但也绝对不能死背词汇。在狂背完词汇的基础上，尽量到阅读中去巩固和体会。
第二， 语言和内容并举。此时的学习者已经掌握了该语言的一些基本的词汇和语法，可以用该语言表达自己的简单的思想。这时的写作练习可以达到两个目的：（1）继续增强对语言的掌握；（2）用外语表达一定的思想。在具体的学习实践中，这两者实际上是不可分的。有许多初三的学生开始用英语记日记，其实他们就正处于这一阶段。
第三， 主要强调内容。当学习者对一门外语的词汇和语法有了一定的掌握，可以用它来表达相对复杂的思想时，就基本进入了第三阶段。此时的语言已经不是最大的障碍，如何写出好的内容成了头等大事。这一阶段的学习者所注重的是如何选材、如何组织文章之类的问题。有人说只有这第三阶段的写作才是真正的写作。这一说法可能失之偏颇，但成功的写作是必须达到这第三阶段的。
如果你发觉写出完整的句子尚有困难，这说明你还处于第一阶段。此时你不要急于写出长篇大论，即使你有些想法可能非常深刻。这时你应该做的是注意语言的积累，留意常用词和句型的用法。另外，适当做一些翻译练习也可以帮助你提高运用语言的能力，从而为提高写作能力做好准备。我们的翻译板块中有许多练习实际上对你们的写作能力的提高也是大有裨益的。除此之外，多做一些阅读，培养对语言的感觉也能为提高写作能力做一些准备。
因此，你在现阶段可以从以下三个方面着手：积累语言素材、多做翻译练习、多做阅读练习。随着你的语言能力的提高，你会逐步进入第二阶段，到那时你就不愁写不出句子了。

2013雅思考试：雅思作文写作必备的英语思维
雅思写作备考当中，大家一定要为自己准备一定的备考策略，这样才能更好的应对雅思写作考试。下面小编就为大家介绍一个雅思写作高分策略，就是关于英语思维的问题，这个问题在雅思写作上面的影响尤为巨大。
在这个问题上面丢分的考生往往不是那 些最不用功，不背单词的考生;而是努力背单词，背词组，认为自己表达清楚，表达好了，但是事实上写出来的文章句子除了他自己能看懂，旁人无一能懂。请看下面的例子：
On the other hand， there are some opponents can hold water think occur many negative factors to human beings.
该考生的词汇量不可谓之小，知道用“opponent”表示反对者，用词组”hold water”形容站得住脚、合情合理。但整句话到底要表达什么意思呢?第一遍还真看不出来!经过和他的沟通，才发现原来他要表达的意思用很简单一句话来写就可以了：
Some people disagree and think this may have a negative influence on human beings.
通过上面的例子，我们就可以看到重视英语思维在雅思写作高分策略里面是多么重要，大家在备考自己的雅思写作的时候，一定要记得要在自己的策略里面加上练习用英语思维思考问题，这样才能避免上面的情况发生。

TOPIC English as a global language
The discussion about whether English becoming a global language has brought us more benefits than risks is a very controversial one. People can hardly reach a consensus on this issue. Before presenting my view, I would like to explore both sides of the argument.
It is very clear that English as a global language has brought us enormous benefits in all aspects of society, which has greatly promoted our economic development. To begin with， as a tool of cross-cultural communication, English promotes mutual understanding and friendship， removing prejudice and h123lity. It is no exaggeration to say that English helps maintain the world peace. Moreover, English offers us a good opportunity to learn from developed countries. For instance, China, a developing country, is in great need of advanced knowledge and technology. English as a global language removes the language barriers for us, so that we can introduce foreign experts to our country more conveniently
However, it can not be denied that English also exerts a negative influence on our human civilization. Since English becomes a dominant language, a large number of indigenous languages are on the verge of extinction, which poses potential risks to the cultural diversity. Just imagine, if everyone in the world looks the same, speaks the same, and thinks the same, our world will become a homogenous one. How terrible...
