Answer all parts of the question
這一點很多老師在我們的公開課中都有強調，可惜很多寶寶們還是花費大量的精力在詞匯句式的堆砌上。忽略這一點的重要性。Task Response 是四項評分標準中最容易提高的一項，考官明確說明，如果你的文章沒有回答全部問題，你的 TR 這一項的分數不會高於 5。
Timing and Blocking
怎樣在 20 分鐘與 40 分鐘中完成一篇結構充實的小大作文？考官教我們做做數學題（歪果仁教中國學生數學……）
具體算法大傢看視頻和文稿吧，總之你可以計算一下你要分幾段，每一段幾句話，每句話大致多少單詞，從而完成兩篇 150 字以及 250 字的文章。
A topic sentence for each paragraph
Make sure that each paragraph has a topic sentence!!! 這一點相信所有的寫作老師都強調過，但是我們在批改作文的時候還是發現很多寶寶忽視瞭這一點的重要性。這個中心句要直接明瞭，不要太模糊，讓考官讀完就是到你這段要講什麼。一個中心句加三個展開論述句，這是考官給的結構建議。
Use synonymous and paraphrase
高頻詞的同義詞替換是寫作詞匯部分提分的重要技巧。不要重復用相同的詞，同義詞的使用會向考官展現你詞匯運用的 range。
這裡考官強調註意一下替換詞的 " 性質 "。想表達 positive 的詞義就用 positive 的詞去替換，反之用 negative。學姐給大傢舉個例子，表示 " 影響 " 的詞，effect 多用作積極意思，而 impair 多用作消極層面的影響。替換 influence 的時候要選對性質。
如果你的詞匯量沒有那麼大，那就學會掌握 paraphrase 的技巧，用一句話去解釋你想說的詞，順便還能用個從句或者分詞結構增加一下句子多樣性。
最後考官強調，想在寫作中拿高分，你一定要知道考官的 expectation 是什麼。即使是一個 native speaker, 如果他對雅思考試完全不瞭解，他也不一定能拿到很好的分數。因此掌握雅思考試的評分標準至關重要。

IELTS writing advice
One of the main problems is that the students don ’ t address entire questions, and you can ’ t get over 5, if you don ’ t address all the questions for task response.
On the day, when you get your question, read it thoroughly, examined it, dissect it, what it is asking you to do, and probably ask you to do the minimum 2 things, maximum 4 things, make sure you cover all the elements of the question.
Timing is essential, you are only given 40 minutes roughly for writing task2, writing task1 is 20 minutes. Plan your work, take the time, take at least 2 to 3 minutes to plan your work before you actually start writing. Also you can do the math. Writing the task1 and you are asked to write 150 words, if you break 150 words down into 4 paragraphs, that ’ s 35 words per paragraph.
Generally sum, if there are 10 words per sentence. So if you are writing a 3-sentence-paragraph that ’ s 30 words, if you need to write 50 words in one paragraph that ’ s 5 sentences. So you can block it, my first paragraph is going to be 3 or 4 sentences, my last paragraph is going to be 2 to 3 sentences, so you can block it out see it first before you write it.
Make sure that each paragraph has a topic sentence, it jumps out as the reader when they read your piece of writing, if you have a strong topic sentence, it jumps out, it sends a message that you know what actually it is what you are writing about, and also that helps you focus on that paragraph. One topic sentence, one paragraph, 3 supporting sentences, based on that topic sentences.
Referring from repeating the same word over and over again, there are many synonyms for the same word, use them
The use of increase once, use go up and then use rise or decrease, go down, fall, try not to repeat vocabulary.
The words for business or businesses, ok, then you can talk about companies, cooperations, ask yourself is the word I want to substitute to, it is positive or positive words, if it is the positive words, you replace with the positive words, for the negative words replace with the negative words.
You don ’ t necessarily have to have a broad range of vocabulary just to score high on the writing test, as long as you have the ability to paraphrase, so even you don ’ t know the specific word, you can describe that meaning of that word.
When you sit down and if you don ’ t take it seriously on the day, even if you are a native speaker, you probably won ’ t do as well as you thought you would, so you have to go with the mind said..that this is the exam and I have to meet their criterial of that exam, know what the expectation is and meet that expectation as best as you can, and it is not out of reach for anybody really but have the babble that what the expectation is. Read the question ( 笑 ) exactly.
