雅思小作文20分钟不够用（19篇）

假设你的文章字数是400字，那么你大概要写40～50个句子。把这40～50个句子，排成编号，从第1个到第40个，也就是从文章的第一句话到最后一句话，你都知道要写什么，并且知道怎么写，甚至每个句子你都掌握了2～3个漂亮的句式，这样你还担心自己拿不到高分吗?再假设，这40～50个句子，你有50%都已经是固定句式了，也就是成了自己的写作套路，那么你还愁文章写不完么?比如说，我总是喜欢在文章最后一句 话 说 ：In a word， it is rather superficial to simply say that……+观点，给个真题例子：In a word， it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers。用一句话说，简单地认为父母是最好的老师是相当肤浅的。大家想一想，任何事情simply say都可以说是相当肤浅的。因此这句话就是一句比较万能的结束语。这句话怎么来的呢?这是官方题库里的第2篇，是我和大家在课上积累来的。只要大家一起努力，我们一定会成功提炼出自己的高分模版。

Topic: Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address. In other word, we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces, such as air and water pollution. The question is, are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem?

It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve. Because of the differences in environmental policies, resources and technology, international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology. By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems, the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed. Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole. One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection.

In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed, the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international commission elected by the participating nations of the world. All members must agree to abide by the standards established. The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world. The impact is long term and international in scope. Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole, depletion of the ozone layer, water pollution, air polution, etc., the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation, not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems.

As part of the same planet, it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment. Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment.

小作文的关键是审图，通过审图需要做到信息全面，并有组织性，语言准确并有多样性。

小作文——关键——审图

1. 信息全面——图表上所有的内容(单位，名称，比例尺，方位)

4. 语法多样——换主语

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities,

in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these

countries, aiding the conservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.

一、引言

在看学生的雅思写作文章过程中，总会看到这样的文字，“College graduates are difficult to find jobs. ”，“Parents realise the needs of their children is extremely important. ”，“Students cannot focus on their study because of tiredness is a fact. ”， “Clearly, rush hours emerges in the early morning as well as early evening which is most busy in a day as a whole in London.” 这几个句子，虽然长短不一，结构不同，话题各异，但是，学生对形式主语it的驾驭能力的欠缺，是可见一斑的。

二、形式主语

（一）什么是形式主语

作为形式主语的it并无实际语义，是为满足语法上的需要，避免句子头重脚轻，它代替的是句子的逻辑主语。

（二）形式主语it所在的句型类别

1、作不定式的形式主语

（1）句型

It is + a pity/a pleasure + to do sth.

It is + wrong/right/wise/cruel/naughty/selfish + of sb. + to do sth.

It is + necessary/hard/important/difficult/possible/common + for sb. + to do sth.

（2）雅思范文写作实例

A. Beyond this, it is also of paramount importance to use theaters and museums as the “social classroom" of culture and history education.

B. I think it is by no means pointless in any way to try to keep traditions alive with technology (Cambridge;3,;P162,;Task;2)

C. It is difficult to say who has the rightto judge whether children working is “wrong” or “valuable”. (Cambridge;3,;P164,;Task;2)

D. it is important to remember that need to develop skills other than intellectual ones and …(Cambridge;3,;P168,;Task;2)

E. Finally, I think that it is also important to remember that children need to relax as well as work. (Cambridge;3,;P168,;Task;2)

F. Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways it is difficult to give and definition that is true for everyone.(Cambridge;4,;P165,;Task;2)

G. It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break for studying after graduation from high school.(Cambridge;5,;P165,;Task;2)

H. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job or to do sth completely different from a university course. (Cambridge;5,;P165,;Task;2)

据本人统计，剑桥官方的雅思真题（剑3—剑8）几乎每一篇Task2考官范文中，都有所使用，甚至在有的文章中出现三次之多。

it is / there is/ there are (it is true that many people eat junk food everyday.)议论文：I think that there are too many junk foods in our society.

I think = I believe = I hold the opinion that = my view is说明文一般描述的是关于社会现象或者问题，包括了或者是一个趋势的优点或者是缺点，这类文章通常都是以描述为主，基于事实描述，比较客观，不代有任何的特殊性。 就是一般我们这个社会都能够接受的论点。

议论文一般针对的是题目中的一个话题 (some people think)，以及部分人对这个话题的想法(some people think, while others believe, 有些人认为。。。 当另外一些人认为)，然后要求你是不是同意或者是发表你自己的看法(I think this is correct/true; I disagree with this)。 这类题目通常会在题目中引述一个观点，然后要求你针对那个观点，进行写作。 议论文比较基于主观事实描述，一般来说，文章的主体是以 为什么而展开，，作者需要通过解释，论证从而达到一个比较合理的能够具有说服力的一个层次。 作者要展开自己的想法，并要通过论证，让读者认为你所写的是正确的，合理的。

实际上，大作文的第一段是情景铺垫，建议考生在这一段要点明这篇文章要讨论/解决什么问题及问题的背景。作文的首段通常包含以下几个方面：

1)场景或背景信息，即题目中出现的phenomenon。

2)一些人的观点，这部分在改写文章首段时可要可不要，考生可按照自己的情况来安排。

3)个人观点，这一部分在有些文章的开首段中也可以不要。

大作文要求字数至少达到250字，在写作中考虑到字数的合理安排，第一段最好写3-5句话，大约40字左右，并且切忌在第一段就掏心掏肺把什么话都说完。因此专家总结出大作文开首方式通常有以下几种情况：

1)题目中包含了背景信息，有时也出现一些人的观点，并且题目中字数较多。这种情况下最保险的办法是将题目中的背景信息及一些人的观点重新表达，可以做：

●主动语态被动语态

●主谓宾主系表

●某些近义词互换

Example:

At present, it is hard for college students to find jobs. Many people claim that college teachers should give priority to practical courses like computer science and business over such traditional ones as history and geography. To what extent do you agree?

到国外的人应该accept the new culture，还是form a separate minority with different values and lifestyle.

Recently, the debate over whether people who have been in a foreign country should accept the new culture or form a separate minority with different values and lifestyle has aroused wide concern. People retain diverse attitudes towards this hot issue. Before presenting my view, I intend to explore both sides of the argument.

Many people claim that people living in a new country should accept the new culture and adapt to their new environment. To begin with, by accepting the new notions and lifestyle, you can easily survive and enjoy a comfortable life and be well adaptable. Moreover, it is a necessity for overseas students to adapt to the new culture and society, because it may impose an adverse influence on their living and study if they cannot be socially adaptable. Furthermore, to form a separate minority may bring out negative outcomes such as hostility and resentment. It will undoubtedly exert a negative impact on relationship between people from different nations.

Some other people, however, strongly hold that it is necessary to form a group with their own values and lifestyle for several sound reasons. Firstly, they are in a foreign country and are actually a minority with little power, many of which even have no equal rights. Therefore, it is wise for them to join together to enhance their strength to cope with social problems. Secondly, by helping each other in the group, people can more easily adapt to the new community and society and lead a better life. Thirdly, students in a new environment may more or less have physical or psychological problems, so it is helpful for students to get together to help each other.

雅思写作偏题原因有哪些?在考生写作之前，审题是必须要操作的步骤，而且也是关乎作文分数最为关键的一环。最重要也是最基本的要求就是：写作要紧扣主题符合题意，否则，即使观点再精彩、语言再优美、论据再充实，作文也无法得到高分。本文将着重对生词原因进行分析，并指导考生该如何应对。

雅思写作偏题原因：生词

生词，是考生审题出现偏差最普遍的问题。一方面，雅思考生越来越低龄化：很多考生年龄小，大多数词汇量非常少，有的考生能够认识的单词甚至还不到1000个。另一方面，雅思的大作文考题尤其是学术类的，话题偏重于社会话题，语言偏书面化，因此有很多考生，其中不乏许多大学生，都会有此感慨：题目有单词不认识啊。

对策

①积累话题核心词

1.何谓题干核心词

雅思议论文题目虽多，但是会有一些出现频率比较高的实意词即为：题干核心词。

2.学习题干核心词的方法

对于题干核心词的学习，建议考生从写作机经入手，找出题干中出现的实意词并作积累。

●请看以下雅思真题：

1. International travel often leads people to have someprejudicesrather than broad-mind. What are the main reasons of this phenomenon? What do you think people can do to get better understanding of the countries they visit?

the ninth day of the ninth lunar month

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period . According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember ones ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.

[关于重阳节的雅思作文素材

雅思大作文的写作都是议论文题材的，对写作方法和技巧方面还是有很多要求的。下面雅思就为大家整理了一个雅思大作文的写作方法，是关于根据原因和结果进行推理来写作的。大家可以在备考的时候，进行适当的参考。

雅思大作文的写作，最关键之处在于论述得当。支持句应使主题句更加令人信服，令考生的想法更加鲜明的呈现在考官面前。然而，中国考生在论述时往往存在一些误区：

一味重复主题，空洞解释。

此类段落不论字数多少，都给人空虚的感觉。考生往往为了凑足篇幅而不择手段。表面看来扩展了许多，但仔细体会永远只有一个意思。不得不让考官觉得即单调又啰嗦。

论述浮于表面，不达根源。

这类考生往往缺乏刨根究底的精神，总是在主旨周围绕圈子，不达中心。这也是中国考生的通病，看似八九不离十，却总也不愿把话点破，让考官怎能不又急又气。

在所有的扩展方式之中，因果推理法是最受用也是最透彻的方法。凡事先追溯到其原由，再扩展其结果，这是将主题阐述清晰、论述有力并且具有逻辑感的最佳手段。

例如在出国留学利弊这一题目之前，若考生单纯说有可能会使青少年学坏，难免缺乏说服力，但若紧接着扩展因为孩子高中毕业后思想上还不成熟，若认识不好的朋友会难以抵抗社会上不好的诱惑，那么此论点一定会让考官眉头舒展，点头认同。由此可见，善用此推理法会让议论文如虎添翼，事半功倍。

一、compare与contrast的误用

我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为：to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为：to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同，而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

看个例句：

It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours。

前一句翻译为：对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

后一句的翻译为：我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同，这很有趣。

再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY的例子：

There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West。

The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier。

When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast。

不难发现，Compare 翻译为 与。。。相比而contrast可译为明显不同的是。。。，切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

二、介词使用错误

1、普通介词的误用

一般表现为固定搭配错误，如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等，虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅，但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的，当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老：把常见的固定搭配牢记于心，问题自然就解决了。

2、to作为介词的误用

to最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的，所以同学们也已经习惯了 to do的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错：

如：

More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them。

这里的 take to means to begin to do sth as a habit 其中 to为介词，所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词，如动名词。所以黑体处应改为depending on。take to的另一个常用用法也需要牢记：

He hasnt taken to his new school. (这里take to means to start liking sb or sth)

Prefer A to B中的 to也是介词，会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这里朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒您，prefer to do sth rather than do sth中的to可是真正的不定式符号。

类似的常用用法请同学们牢记：

Be used to doing

Be accustomed to doing

See to doing

Adapt to doing

Adjust to doing

prefer doing sth. to doing sth。

等等，请注意平时仔细积累。

三、assume及claim使用不够准确

我们知道， think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中，同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的，完全可以代换，所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同：

Think: to have opinion or belief about sth。

翻译为认为，通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it。

翻译为假设、假定，是否有事实依据是不确定的。

Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it。

翻译为声称，用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点，所以很少用作 I claim that

Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, 。

所以 It is claimed that 通常翻译为有报道称。。。。和it is reported that 的区别在于后者翻译为据报道，往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容，

Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

翻译为考虑，一般不用作引出观点，看个例子：

We are considering buying a new car。

所以，提醒您，千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。

四、表建议的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句

这是摘自学生作文中的一个病句：

I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school。

因为 suggest翻译为建议，所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气，黑体部分应该改为 (should) continue

提醒您，一定要牢记以下常见表建议的词汇，而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气：

Recommend, suggest, advise

五、such as与for example的混用

我们知道，在表示举例子的时候，such as 与like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare。

但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道，后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法：

There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian。

这里的such as改为 for example为好，因为in French and Italian其实是there is a similar word in French and Italian的简化，所以要用 for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子：

It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics。

最后，要提醒各位考生，在平时的写作中绝对不能放过任何的模棱两可，只有平时斤斤计较才能做到写作使人精确。

直接表述观点

Well, do you think people can tell you their real thoughts just through phone? Without person-to-person contact, it is unlikely for you to dig deep into their minds and unlikely to get truth.

大部分情况下，英文是首句中心句，段落其他部分是支持中心句的内容，所以听到首句就是主要意思，因此这种模式相对简单，表示观点的词，比如赞成 (support, be for ,go for be on the side of, quite agree with)，中立( mutual, just so so, you can try it, not the best)，反对( not good, be against, not recommend, better avoid )，喜欢(be favor of, like, prefer)，一般态度(its ok, but)，不喜欢(dislike)，必须( must, it is necessary)，依情况而定( it depends)，没必要( not necessary)，等等。

以下举几个直接表达观点的例子，大家可以看一下。

直接观点表达：

Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe . A cheap but very effective solution.支持

Finally, a word about the state-of-the-art relief- the TENS machine-a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. Our experience indicates that your money is better spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.反对

要回答这一问题，首先应该从雅思主办者的地域思维特征谈起，英国人思考缜密，性格稳重，对待问题讲究客观公正，与美国人热情奔放，追求自我个性有着较大的差别。这些也同时体现在雅思考试的作文评分标准上，雅思相较于托福而言，更倾向于考察学生对于问题的全面把握与客观理解，因而从历年的雅思写作真题和其范文上分析，关于辩论型题目考官还是更青睐双边讨论型的写作方式，大多数高分作文都具备这一特点。

放下分析解决型文章不谈，辩论型文章的任务要求一般有以下几种：

1 To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

2 Discuss both these views and give your own opinions.

3 To what extent do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks? (措辞有时略有不同,但主要意思不变)

4 What is your opinion?

中国学生常常陷入对第一个指令的认识误区，错误以为只能从同意或不同意的单一角度去分析问题，一些培训机构有时也会在这些方面上误导学生。实际上，这个问题并不仅仅就是个单项选择，而是可以从正反两方面多角度去分析的，例如2008年3月13日的这道大作文考题：

People should look after their health as a duty to the society they live in rather than personal benefits. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

专家认为，对于该题，完全可从健康作为社会责任和个人利益时的优劣两个角度去讨论，兼顾两方面，从而可以达到写作分析阐述上的客观，避免有过于偏颇片面的看法。这在雅思作文考试中是应时刻注意的一点。

类似的思路还应用在第三个指令上，该要求的目的并非要求考生一定要得出一个“利大于弊”或“弊大于利”的狭隘观点，然后针对这一方面进行分析；而应在论述过程中，对有益和不利方面均要涉及，一同阐明，最终得出一个客观公正的结。在如2008年2月23日这道考题：

In some countries, it is now possible for people to buy a wide variety of foods transported from all over the world. To what extent do the benefits of this development outweigh the drawbacks?

人们在本国就可以买到来自于世界各地的食品，该题目要求对这一现象进行利弊的比较和讨论，考生理应要对两方面都进行阐述，才符合题目的要求。

对以上两个指令的回应很好地表明了双边讨论文章正确的立意和思路----要么从某一个问题的正反角度去比较，或者在不同事物之间寻找参照进行评述，简而言之，要尽可能客观而全面地分析讨论而不是简单地妄下定论。

相比之下，第二个指令的要求则十分明确，即讨论两方面的论点然后据此得出自己的看法，这类题目的背景往往是不同的人对于同一问题的态度，或者相互抵触，或者偏重不同领域。无论考生最后得出的结论是中立，还是偏向于某一观点，论述过程都应是兼顾两方面的。专家分析发现，仅从2008年考过的题目看来，这一类型的文题就占了40%以上，由此可见其在雅思作文出题思路所占的比重。

Some people think international cooperation has brought benefits to world environment protection, while some people think more benefits has been brought to international business. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

如例选自2008年7月26日的考试，考生就需要就题目中不同人群对国际合作在不同领域所带来的好处的看法进行论述，一个是环保方面，另一个是国际商务方面，这正好印证了双边作文类型之一，即对不同观点进行分析。

最后一个任务指令往往是要求考生自己给出观点，乍看上去发挥的自由度很大，但双边态度仍应作为一个基本准则在前期的构思阶段及后期的写作中注意。毕竟，可以得出“一边倒”的结论的题目在雅思考题中是少之又少的。

当然除了对于题目指令的正确把握之外，双边态度还应体现在行文的各个方面，如让步状语从句的使用，在承认一方存在合理性的同时，强调另一方的优点，而避免过于片面的看法。

本文中，专家仅涉及到雅思写作中很小的一部分，想要真正在雅思写作考试中取得理想的成绩，考生还应在平时多加练习。毕竟，纸上谈来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行。
