What are the characteristics of IELTS writing?
The characteristics of IELTS writing are fourfold and skillful. I study in Beijing Century IELTS. Through study, my teacher summed up many learning methods and recommended them to you: the logical structure of IELTS composition is very important if you want to get high marks. Let's take argumentative writing as an example to explain. The preparation of IELTS argumentative essay is first of all a logical structure. In other words, you must know that the argumentative essay is divided into three parts, and what ideas are there in each part (what sentence patterns are there in each idea), which is what you should focus on reciting. The middle paragraph of an argumentative essay is the key to getting high marks. Generally speaking, there are two structural modes: argument and refutation. The structure of the argument is as follows: (sub-argument) ............................................................................................................................................................. You can use one, two or three. We ask students to memorize the symbolic words of argumentative method so that the examiner can grasp your thoughts when reading. The other is rebuttal: some people think, because they think, in any case, they oversimplify the situation. In fact, (the enemy's first mistake) ... In addition, (the enemy's second mistake) ... Last but not least, (The enemy's third mistake) ............................................................................................................................., of course, after mastering these two structures, there will be more complicated changes, but they are the foundation. The next step is to refine the ideas and sentence patterns of refutation and argumentation methods. For language structure, you need to master five basic sentence patterns and fourteen expansion methods; On this basis, there are some common languages for argumentative writing, which can make you write more words. Finally, we should be familiar with the eight common questions in the IELTS test, look for opinions, understand them and remember them, so that we can have more confidence in the test.

Pay attention to the accumulation of writing materials

In the usual practice, students are advised to think more about the most common questions in the IELTS test. If the review time is long, you can collect materials according to the theme and start with the basic skills of writing sentences. For each topic, first summarize the arguments and arguments in Chinese. Note that Chinese must be simple and clear, not too much embellishment; Then write a few paragraphs in English every day, and it is best for native speakers to help correct them. By accumulating more than 100 paragraphs, the English writing level will be qualitatively improved.

Pay attention to the differences between Chinese and English composition writing ideas

Many students have such doubts. Chinese composition is very good, but English composition is always difficult to get high marks. To sum up, the reason lies in the great differences and differences in writing ideas. English likes linear thinking. It doesn't need too much trouble. Therefore, the structure can be developed according to the mode of refutation and argument, and of course there is a refutation. Because there are always two sides to an opinion: reasonable and unreasonable. So in a more complex structure, you can write both. On the other hand, Chinese writing is just the opposite of English, which emphasizes implicit expression rather than linear thinking, so there is a situation that Chinese composition is excellent but English composition is not ideal. Therefore, students should pay attention to this difference in the process of preparing for the exam and consciously train their English writing ideas in the process of reviewing.

Pay attention to writing speed.

Writing speed involves three aspects, which need students to pay enough attention to. One is the rate of conception. You need to be familiar with the most common questions in IELTS. The second is to be familiar with sentence patterns. What do you mean? What sentence patterns do you use? Only by writing more and practicing more can we accumulate and improve the writing speed. The third is the speed of writing words, especially long words. It is required that you must write when you are practicing, and you can't think. Even if you can recite the word, you must write it down.

Clever use of writing template

I asked more than one examiner about the template. Their answer is that the template is not unusable, but it must be suitable. What they hate most is that every coin has two sides ... so there is no universal template. You have to memorize the possible situations and sentence patterns in each part of the argumentative paper before you choose to use it. In other words, there are templates, but there is no universal template. Writing is a long-term accumulation process. Not long ago, a classmate in Shandong told me that she had passed the IELTS writing test and made careful preparations in advance. As a result, she got 3.5 points in the exam. Her problem is that more than half of the words in the model essay she prepared are the same in any article. Everyone must be especially careful not to prepare evaluation model essays, one saying the advantages and disadvantages and the other saying the reasons (and I don't agree with this classification). Related words If the article is long enough, try to be simple and clear. So in the final analysis, you should be familiar with the topic of discussion, and naturally you won't write so much nonsense.

I hope I can help you, and I hope you can achieve ideal results in IELTS writing!
