1 雅思写作概述
雅思写作考试分为两种类型:普通培训类(General Training),简称G类;学术 类(Academic),简称A类。雅思G类写作面向欲申请移民,或到国外培训及工作的考生;雅思A类写作面向申请到国外攻读本科或研究生课程的考生。
两类写作测试均由两项内容组成,

- 第二项内容雅思大作文(Task 2)均要求250字左右。
- 无论是普通培训类还是学术类,其考试时间均为60分钟。
这两类考试中第一项的写作时间均应控制在20分钟以内,而第二项则应控制在40分钟左右。 普通培训类和学术类的写作的试题要求和内容有所不同。

雅思A类写作考试第二项是议论文写作,要求考生就某一问题发表个人观点,并用相关论据 论证自己观点。这一部分主要考查考生概括问题和解决问题的能力,以及提出自己的主张并 能清晰论证的能力。在论述过程中,观点要明确,思路要清晰,既让读者清楚地看到你的立 场,又要用例证要有力地支持自己的观点。议论文论点不一定要和别人观点一样,而关键在 于能够自圆其说,也就是说重在论述。有时论点看似极端,但经过考生论述,让考官觉得有 道理,那么也能说服考官,这样可能更容易得高分。
