我现在是一个高二的学生，并且决定申请外国大学以出国留学，所以当我得知语言成绩是申请大学时必不可少的一个条件后，开始从高二上半学期准备报考雅思。为什么我选择雅思考试呢?其实我只是觉得雅思考试是最受各国认可的英语语言考试系统，而且我当时还没有明确决定去那一个国家留学，所以三思之后我决定准备雅思考试。
高一是我提高英语水*的主要一年，在这一年中我读了许多英语文章，写了许多英文句子，而且还背了很多新的英文单词。除此之外，在父母的监督之下我一直在学一本我爸在书店里买的中学英语语法书。
虽说在高一学期末我英语考了一个很令人满意的成绩，我一直在雅思考试上没有把握，一直以来我都感觉雅思考试是超出我英语能力范围的一座大山。不过我想，哪怕再难，我也必须要把这座山拿下。
在休息了一个长假后，我的高二学期开始了，我的准备雅思计划也正式开工。其实由于各种个人原因，我并没有在高二上学期报名或其它校外的雅思学*班，而只是在课余时间继续着我的英语学*计划。这个计划很简单，首先当然是背新单词和复*旧单词，然后自己学*语法，其次，我会读原版英文小说和看英文电影。前两者虽然有些枯燥但是硬道理，后两者给我的学*增添了不少乐趣。我当然还开始做雅思真题，这也是毋庸置疑的。
今年南京市高考英语第一名仍然出在南京外国语学校，该生名叫陶诗琦，得分为145分。陶诗琦去年考雅思取得了8分的好成绩，尤为难得的是，她的听力和阅读竟都得了满分9分！英语这么好是怎么学的？
陶诗琦说，高三的学*特别紧张，在做枯燥的数理化题目间，听听英语磁带，看看英语杂志是她放松的最佳办法，因为她实在喜欢英语。而她用来学*英语的时间，则全都是零打碎敲的。
比如在骑车上学的路上，她会听英文原版《老友记》的MP3；吃饭的时候听听英语广播，看看中央电视台9套的动画片。不知不觉中；陶诗琦提高了自己的听力水*和词汇量，现在连英文摇滚都听得懂了。
增加词汇量，陶诗琦也有自己的办法，看英文原版的《简爱》、《飘》，*时看英文杂志，发现不认识的单词和词汇就查；然后把例句随手写在杂志空白处，效果特好。不过陶诗琦也有自己的弱项，那就是语法，她笑称自己在英语语法上完全是一个白痴，做题目经常靠语感，幸好老师也没有硬逼着她去做语法题。
陶诗琦虽然在班上一直名列前茅，却毅然放弃了保送的机会，参加高考，因为她不想选择语言类专业。
第一步：有一套剑桥的书。
首先，大家要选择有效的听写材料，既然大家要准备雅思考试，那么当然要用剑桥的真题去听写啦!
第二步：先做题，后听写。
在大家听写之前，一定要先把题目做完，否则你听写以后，听力原文的答案你都知道了，宝贵的剑桥题目都废了。
第三步：以单句为单位，听写剑桥听力原文。
有些机构的老师要大家听写单个的单词，但是只听写单个的单词有一些弊端，第一个弊端，就是你并没有把单词放在语境中去听写，所以无法对听力原文有整体的把握。
第二个弊端，就是有很多吞音、连读是在句子中出现的，而只听写单个的单词，无法训练在句子中吞音连读的语音分辨能力。而我要求我的同学们，一定要一句话一句话的去听写，最后写出的是整个完整的剑桥听力原文。
第四步：边听边写，听完却没有写完，按暂停，听完再写。
这一步很重要，大家要边听边写，开始放听力录音同时，就要开始写，可能你只写了两、三个单词，这一句话就说完了，这个时候，按暂停，凭借你残留的记忆，把这一句话补全。
第五步：如果没听清或没记住，可以返回，重复听这一句。
第六步：最多反复听五遍，五遍还写不下来就过，继续往下听。
如果听了五遍，都没有写出来，那就不要再重复了，因为很有可能你是有个单词不认识，或者有个吞音或连读听不出来，那即便你再听一百遍也是很难听出来的，所以就继续往下听。
第七步：一句一句听，不允许断很多次。
大家一定要听完完整的一句话或者如果是从句很长，那么大家至少要听完一个完整的主谓宾才能暂停，不允许只听一两个单词就暂停。
第八步：听写完以后，对照听力原文改错。
改错很重要，一定要把自己没写出来的改对才可以，大家最好可以边听边改，听一句，改一句，听写完马上就改。
第九步：分析错误原因。
如果你按照这个方法认真听写，每听写15篇左右，你的听力可以提高0.5分。
有数据，有故事，懂留学，更热爱梦想。
出国前，我在区老年大学学了两年多的英语，由于年龄大、基础差、学时短，学*效率很低，仅懂得一点皮毛而已。我以为有了这点知识，走到国外的街头上，不至于茫茫然，谁知我一置身于加拿大的环境里，才知自己仍是-个道道地地的英文盲。
但是，我仍不甘心，一遇机会，就想试试自己已学过的英文单词是否能实用。刚开始,我们住在北约克一幢半独立的房宅。我到该地的第二天上午，去后花园看看，遇见隔壁的一位刚迈入老年的男子，他正在整理花园。这位老人主动、热情给我打招呼，并走向我们俩家相隔的篱笆。我也走了过去，他叽叽咕咕不知在说什么，我想他大概问我是何方人氏，就说lm chinese, and you?他说Italy。我无法交谈下去，就急匆匆地告别了。回家我将此事告诉女儿，女儿笑嘻嘻地说，你能问人家是那里人了，不错啊!我们住家的马路对面是一所小学，每天早、中、晚都看见一位老先生身穿黄背心、手持小黄旗在马路上维持秩序，当有小学生过马路时，他便举起旗子，示意行驶的汽车必须停下，等学生走完才能行驶，那怕是一个学生也是如此。后来我问女儿，这位老先生的工资待遇如何?她说，这是义工，分文不取，我油然起了一丝敬意。于是每天定时站在落地窗前，观察他的动态。早晨，学校上课前半小时，中午休息的半小时，下午放学后的半小时，他都准时到达岗位执行任务，那怕是狂风暴雨、寒风剌骨也不例外，我肃然起敬。有一天，我送外孙女上学，我用敬佩的眼光并伸出大姆指说，you very good。他笑了笑，表示谢意。我还想进一步交谈，可是指指点点，就无法用语言表达，真是感叹不已!
经历了紧张充实的大三整个学年，我们学*了很多的课程知识，在期末考试测试中也交给了自己一份满意的答卷。面对将要来临的大四学年，我们都多自己的人生有了很多不同的打算，也有很多人在这一年，做了有关人生过程之中一些重要的决定。
有的同学准备在这一年选择进行研究生考试的学*准备，考取更高的学历，到自己梦想的学府学*接触更加权威的学术氛围，获得自己所学领域更为新鲜的信息。有的同学决定到企业单位进行实*，积累工作以及社会经验，进行职场预热，为将来进入工作岗位打好基础，以便在未来求职过程中使己的简历看起来更加充实而有吸引力。还有一部分同学选择继续留在学校学*，利用好大四一年的时间进行复*，为英语等级考试做准备，或者考取一些专业相关的证书或是其他资格等级证书，也是为了加强自己的能力，在将来的学*生活或者是工作中更加有自身价值和含金量。
在经过深思熟虑之后，我选择了在大四学年继续学*，为接下来毕业出国的打算做准备，复*大学英语四级以及雅思考试。也能空余出更充足的时间为毕业论**准备。同时，复*了英语四级以及雅思，也能为之后出国的交流以及学*做一些铺垫，到时候有了词汇和口语基础，应对起来可以更加游刃有余。
下面说说我在大四上半年的学*心得。
这段时间我利用起来进行了雅思的学*，前期我选择进行词汇以及听力的自学训练。词汇是语言的基础，这句话是始终不变的真理。经过半个多月的词汇积累，我的词汇量明显提高，随之感觉到的就是阅读与听力没有之前那么吃力，生词的数量减少了，学*英语获得了更多的自信。口语部分，我每天选择一个话题进行训练，积累话题相关资料，以便在之后的口语测试中能够更稳定的发挥。总体上我的学*都是在练*的基础上进行，俗话说的好，时间出真知。选择性的进行了各种考试题型的练*，不仅做到了有的放矢，也让我的学*效率大大提升，在我较为薄弱的口语部分和听力部分有了更多的时间去练*和积累。
参加过很多次英语考试，我们都明白，真题是了解一个考试的最直接的途径，真题能够最真实的还原考试的内容，让我们对它有所了解不至于一头雾水。所以，在学*过程之中，我定期练*一份往期的真题，精读分析并记忆难点词汇，总结做每一份真题的感受与收获，这全部都是我学*过程中积累的财富。
想做好任何事情都需要有合理的计划，雅思也不例外。我真正用心准备雅思考试是从今年暑假开始，我报名参加了新东方的雅思补*班。这几个月的时间，基本每天早上去上课的路上可以听半小时网上下的*新闻。中午和同学一起吃饭的时候我会快速浏览助教发下的单词表和各个老师传的常用词汇，每天看1个part，同时回顾前一天的part。下午利用半个多小时的时间写一篇作文——隔一天写大作文，再过一天写小作文，这样除去一些偶然事件的干扰，每周*均我可以写3-4篇作文。然后复*一天的学*内容。其他时间看看好玩的帖子，有不错的文章就打印出来，在空闲的时间阅读，晚上的时间用来做阅读题和听力练*。阅读会按阅读老师的方法做题，每天完成剑桥雅思上一个test；听力方面，每天坚持完成老师布置的听写作业，基本是2到3篇。
在新东方学*，模考同样是很重要的。对于模考，我觉得对于没有考过雅思的人是有帮助的，能够发现自己的问题，即使调整自己的复*策略。我的第1次模考让我认识到：1.听力部分状态波动大， 2.阅读速度需要提高——考场环境下做Passage 3是对我心理素质的极大挑战；3.模考后，针对模考暴露的问题进行了专门的训练。听力大大增加了剑4—7的练*，听写的训练也没有拉下。并注意培养自己集中精力的能力和快速读题的能力。阅读主要是追求在不降低质量的前提下提升速度，争取15-17mins完成一个passage。写作加大了练*的力度，多记些可以用到的topic。当然最重要的还是词汇量，争取掌握老师布置的所有词汇。
准备雅思考试是对人意志的考验，至少对英语基础中等以下的人们是这样的。因为想在短期内迅速提升英语能力是几乎不可能的。因此一个好的计划不是完成雅思考试的全部，更需要持之以恒地按照自己的复*计划走下去，并且在这个过程中不断检查学*成果，适时地调整计划，这样才能使你的计划创造价值，所以这个过程之中恒心非常重要。
这是一个信息时代，各种各样的资源充斥我们的耳目，用好自己身边的资源可以使你的复*效果事半功倍。
1.辅导班
一个好的辅导班可以帮助你快速认识雅思考试和掌握一些考试技巧，但是一切能力的提高都得靠自己，老师只是把最好的提高方法教给我。辅导班的另一个好处是会在心理上让我增加战胜雅思考试的信心。
2.书籍
有关雅思考试的书籍层出不穷，真正称得上经典中的经典的还要算剑桥1-7。能摸透剑桥的这几本书，也基本差不太多了。
3.机经
机经是把双刃剑。好处在于它可以让你预先知道考试的场景和词汇，做到有所准备。不足之处也很明显，他让你心理上产生一种依赖感，一旦遇到机经之外的题目，心理防线会崩溃，从而影响整个考试的发挥。所以我认为要辩证地使用机经。
四.勇气
最终导致大家分数各异的因素虽然与每个人的基础有关，但勇气也绝对是关键的因素之
一。有一个乐观积极的心态去面对雅思，我相信会逐步提升。
五.个性
每个人的能力不一样；每个人在听说读写四方面的基础也各有不同；每个人学*特点也不同，一定要自己找出适合自己的学*方法。 经过这一段时间的学*我觉得我慢慢摸索出了适合我的学*方法。
以下是我为即将到来的大英四级考试所做准备得到的一些心得，我将我的复*方法总结为一下几条要诀：
第一要诀：收听*国际广播电台的英语广播
*国际广播电台有一小时的英语节目。内容包括国内外新闻，剪报集锦和各类系 列的专题报道。除了英语标准流利的国内播音员担任广播之外，也有向外侨或访客就某一话题而做的录音访问，可以藉此训练或增进英语的听力。我通过这个途径还大大的加强了口语，培养了我的语感。
第二要诀：从电视，电影中学*英语
我个人非常喜欢看电影电视剧，看英文电视，电影不仅能了解西方人的文化和生活，而且也是学*地道英语和提高英语听力的好机会。选取的影片最好是以现代生活为背景的文艺片或喜剧片。逐渐的我养成不看字幕的*惯，逐渐的就会感觉到提高，我的听力就在轻松的心情下，随着对剧情了解的增多而迅速提高。
第三要诀：背诵名人演说词，找机会复诵出来
好的演说在用字遣辞上不但求其优美而且特别注重沟通力和说服力，是练*英语表达的最佳教材。我选择自己喜欢的段落或句子来背。妙言嘉句背多了之后，对于说话，写作都会有不少的帮助。
第四要诀：听英语时，口中跟着复诵
听英语演讲，看英语电视和电影时，一边听，一边复诵。这样既有利于注意力的集中，增进对内容的了解，又可同时模仿发音和语调。做这种练*时，我从较短或较简单的句子开始。练*多了，就养成*惯。另外一 种有益的练*是逐句口译。把听到的句子逐一译成汉语，这对于听力，正确的理解及反应能力也是有效的锻炼。
第五要诀：练*朗读，好处多
1.锻炼英语的发音，语调与节奏;2.使口腔各发音部位灵活，增进说英语时的流利程度;3.使耳朵增 加听英语的机会，从而提高英语听力;4.充分应用读书四到：眼到，口到，耳到，心到——比默读时更能记住所读的教材。我们也可以说朗读是会话的基本练*， 没有朗读*惯的人是很难学成会话的。
第六要诀：为了兴趣而阅读
寒窗苦读式的学*方法不 但枯燥无味，而且效果往往不佳。如果是为了兴趣甚至"消遣"而阅读的话，一定会趣味盎然，并能在无形之中进步，不仅能满足自己的爱好，而且又可以提高 英语能力，真是一举两得。
经过了几个月的学*，我感觉到了自己英语方面有了很大的进步，口语部分也不再那么可怕。但是，我知道自己还欠缺很多，在接下来的时间我会继续进行准备，争取给自己一份满意的答卷。

——英语雅思作文通用五篇
What are the causes for losing varieties in languages and cultures?
Every human society has a culture that includes arts, customs, language, etc. Every culture changes and the main causes for losing varieties in language and culture, in my opinion, are: contact with other cultures, and development of science and technology.
When two cultures have continuous contact with each other, the two cultures may blend or adopt their cultural traits, such as language, clothing, etc. thus losing their individual cultural varieties. When people of one culture who move to a country where another culture dominates may give up their old ways and become part of the dominant culture. For example, groups of people from many countries have settled in the United States. Most of these people gradually abandoned the way of life of their homeland, and adopted an American way of life. They learned the language, adopted the customs, and followed the traditions.
The development of science and technology, on the other hand, may attribute to changes in a culture. The invention of steam engine, for example, produced great changes in the way people lived. The invention of the computer in the mid 20th century has also had enormous impact. It has brought far-reaching changes in communication, education, entertainment, and numerous other areas of modern life.
In conclusion, to lose varieties in language and culture is to lose richness in them. Therefore, to my mind, multiculturalism should prevail in the contemporary world, so that ethnic groups can bring variety and richness to a society by introducing their own ideas and customs.
The most prominent memory of my trip to Europe in 1983 was not the excitement of traveling abroad for the first time but the discomfort of flying in a smoke-filled airplane for almost six hours. Even in the non-smoking section, I was coughing and choking during the entire flight. And whenever I had to use the restroom, I had to hold my nose as I passed through the smoking area to the lavatory.
If I ruled the world, I would certainly outlaw cigarette smoking in all public places. Fortunately for smokers everywhere, I don't rule the world. Nevertheless, I fully support the idea behind the New York State legislature's recent bill to ban smoking in all restaurants in New York State.
According to the New York Times, officials in both houses of the legislature say the legislation is "very close to fruition." California is the only other state I know that has banned smoking in restaurants and bars, and despite the predictions of some restaurant owners, I haven't read any reports that restaurant attendance has fallen off significantly since the bill passed. Why should it? Food is a necessity. People need to eat.
Assigning designated smoking and non smoking areas in restaurants is not enough. Smoke travels quickly beyond the imaginary boundaries set up between tables and booths. As a patron, I should be able to enjoy my meal without choking on someone else's smoke. The same is true in bars and nightclubs, although I would exercise more legislative restraint in this setting because dancing and drinking are not as essential as eating. Still, why should I have to endanger my lungs just to go dancing?
I would ban smoking on public sidewalks and streets as well. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business, but once you pollute the rest of the world with cancer-inducing toxic fumes, it becomes the government's business. I'm tired of asking people to put out their cigarettes or asking waiters to patrol the boundaries of their restaurant's smoking section. So if this new bill becomes law, as I hope it does, non-smokers will finally be able to enjoy their restaurant meals without having to police the artificial lines of separation that divide the two sections in restaurants.
Discuss the difference between fast food and traditional food, such as nutrition, and recipe?
Living in a fast-paced society, the modern eaters are not longer interested in the contents of their food, but focused on whether a convenient meal is available at hand to devour. Statistics indicate that even housewives spend much shorter time at kitchen than their predecessors. This writing will compare and contrast advantages and disadvantages of fast food and traditional food.
Traditional food has its unshakable position in the human culture both in the social and historical context. Historically, chefs have gone to all lengths to experiment on novelties, invent cooking skills to gratify guests' hunger. Hence, traditional food has secured its incomparable value with a complex of tantalising features, including the variance, flavour, and taste. Its unique charms can nurture social relations as well. A family is accustomed to prepare a traditional feast to serve their guests at weekend or on holiday, such as Christmas.
Further, traditional food is favourably nutritious and balanced, compared with fast food. Dieticians have suggested audience through millions of televised courses that traditional food can retain more nutrition before being served on the table, for in general, they are cooked with a temperate heat. By contrast, the fast food are made at such a high temperature that nutrition has inescapably vaporised during the cooking process. Meanwhile, cooks pay more attention to the balance of recipe when preparing traditional food, such as combing meat with vegetable.
Despite a range of advantages, traditional food is overshadowed by its fast compe*** in terms of time. Traditional food can consume a considerable amount of time from choosing materials, to arranging your table for visual appeal. In contrast, fast food cannot be faster when making a five-minute trip to a store around the corner, or even dialling to a fast food company. Needless to say recently, a string of fast food companies have tried their hardest to enrich the menu.
To summarise, traditional food has an irreplaceable role in our life, backed with various merits. However, its prevalence is declining for people are more and more time conscious.
As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagantlifestyles with huge houses and cars.
Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibilityof governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform. in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of thesefactors may justify the huge earnings.
Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicatesthat our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.
Some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training that is beneficial to society.
Do you agree or disagree?
The current hot issues concerning higher education include the one of whether university should provide theoretical knowledge or practical training. In my opinion, this issue is closely related to the different aims of different universities and the needs of the economic development of the respective country.
As we know, university education gives a student a better appreciation of such fields as art, literature, history, science, and human relations. Therefore, it is necessary for the university to provide theoretical knowledge for those students who intend to receive liberal education.
Most universities also have professional colleges that prepare students for careers, such as teachers colleges, agricultural or dental colleges. These colleges, apart from offering some liberal arts courses, usually allocate a certain period of time for professional training. For example, a student at teachers college usually takes a field training at a high school as a student teacher for two or three months.
Another important factor on this issue is the needs of the economic development of a respective county. For instance, in China, a great number of advanced professional personnel are needed to keep the pace with the rapid economic development. Therefore, cooperative education that combines classroom studies with practical work experience is more appropriate an education China needs at the present time.
In a word, how much emphasis that should be laid on theoretical knowledge or practical training is determined by the needs of the economy of a respective country and the needs of all-round personnel for a democratic society.
——雅思英语范本5份
大家都知道雅思也是考英语，那雅思考试和英语考试有没有区别呢?一起来看看吧!
雅思考试和英语考试的区别
一、答卷方式
高考英语用时120分钟，为笔试。而雅思考试包括150分钟的笔试和11至14分钟的与考官面对面的口试。
二、语法和词汇来源
高考英语要求考生能够适当运用基本的语法知识，掌握3500左右的词汇及相关词组。而雅思涉及到的词汇在6000以上。
三、考核技能及题型
高考英语总分150分，包括30分听力，45分英语知识运用(语法词汇选择和完型填空)，40分阅读理解和35分写作。除了写作为主观性试题以外，其余题型都是客观性的多项选择题(multiplechoicequestions)。而雅思考试包括听力、阅读、写作和口语四个部分，每个部分满分9分，总分为四项*均分。其中不仅口语考试是高考英语所没有的，而且笔试部分题型多样。光听力部分，就有经常考表格题、完成句子题、简短回答题、选择题、地图题、搭配题和图画题等多种题型。
在英语学*中，应努力提高听力。这样可以借 助听觉，大量。快速地复*学过的单词和词组， 并在此基础上扩大知识面，更多地掌握同一词 的不同用法，提高阅读速度与理解能力。下面 笔者根据自己*两年的实践，与英语自学者谈 谈在提高听力方面的点滴体会。
我觉得要提高听力，首先应从多听教学听力录 音带入手，如所学的课本录音带，口语教材录 音带，也可以选听适合或略高于自己水*的有 趣的材料。无论是精听或是泛听，最好开始都 不要看文字材料。精听应先把录音内容从头至 尾听一遍，再把听不懂的地方一遍又一遍地反 复听。若有些地方实在听不懂，也应尽量听清 各个音节，然后再翻开书看一看，有些影响理 解的生词可查一下词典。接着再合上书从头至 尾听，直到能够听懂全部内容为止。通过这样 的听力训练，可促使自己提高辨音及听力理解 能力。如果读过书面材料再去听录音，往往就 不是耳朵在辨音，而是大脑在思索，背诵，如 果看着书面材料听，则往往是自己的默读，这 样达不到提高听力的目的，遇到新材料的时候 就又会听不懂。
精听最好是选用教学录音和有故事情节的短文 或科普短文；泛听则可选用一些口语教材或一 些有趣的小故事，使自己多接触录音材料，以 求熟悉英语发音，扩大知识面，提高听力。泛 听可一遍过，只要听懂大概意思就行了。如果 一遍听不懂，可倒过来再听一遍，还是听不懂， 就翻一下书，继续听下去占在第一遍听新材料 的时候，一定要聚精会神，让自己的思维跟上 每一个音节。在每句停顿时，可在脑海里反复 一下。听的当中遇到生词不要停下多想，因为 有些生词可以在整个内容中理解。有些生词并 不影响理解意思，可以不管，停下来想，反而 影响听下面的内容。听音时要随着录音材料的 频率在脑中用英语重复，而且速度要练得能跟 上录音速度，不能边听边翻译。一般只要难度 相当，能听清大部分单词，是可以理解其大意 的。
以上只是自己在提高听力方面的点滴体会。各 人有各人的提高听力的经验，尽管甲的经验不 一定适用于乙，乙的经验也不一定适用于甲， 但可以相互启发，取长补短，用不同的方法来 达到相同的目的。英语自学者们，让我们共同 总结经验，提高我们的英语听力水*吧。
我现在是一个高二的学生，并且决定申请外国大学以出国留学，所以当我得知语言成绩是申请大学时必不可少的一个条件后，开始从高二上半学期准备报考雅思。为什么我选择雅思考试呢?其实我只是觉得雅思考试是最受各国认可的英语语言考试系统，而且我当时还没有明确决定去那一个国家留学，所以三思之后我决定准备雅思考试。
高一是我提高英语水*的主要一年，在这一年中我读了许多英语文章，写了许多英文句子，而且还背了很多新的英文单词。除此之外，在父母的监督之下我一直在学一本我爸在书店里买的中学英语语法书。
虽说在高一学期末我英语考了一个很令人满意的成绩，我一直在雅思考试上没有把握，一直以来我都感觉雅思考试是超出我英语能力范围的一座大山。不过我想，哪怕再难，我也必须要把这座山拿下。
在休息了一个长假后，我的高二学期开始了，我的准备雅思计划也正式开工。其实由于各种个人原因，我并没有在高二上学期报名或其它校外的雅思学*班，而只是在课余时间继续着我的英语学*计划。这个计划很简单，首先当然是背新单词和复*旧单词，然后自己学*语法，其次，我会读原版英文小说和看英文电影。前两者虽然有些枯燥但是硬道理，后两者给我的学*增添了不少乐趣。我当然还开始做雅思真题，这也是毋庸置疑的。
一、雅思口语5分评分标准
雅思口语5分评分标准从四个方面来说，即1)任务回应方面：只是部分回应题目要求;有立场但论证并不总是清晰;提出一些主要观点但有限; 2)连贯与衔接方面：信息呈现有些组织但缺少整体延续性; 3)词汇资源方面：只能使用有限句型，试图使用复杂句但准确度不够;4)语法结构与准确性方面：语法和标点经常错误。
事实上，这些标准中的内容也说明了考生在回答中的一些不足之处，也是导致口语5分的主要原因 。其中，词汇是备考雅思口语最基本的一个环节，也是很多考生容易出错的一个环节，所以，小编在此主要从词汇的角度为大家简单讲解词汇方面导致分数低的原因，可供参考。
词汇上丢分的原因主要有两点，第一个是词汇匮乏，第二个是词不达意。就第一点而言，主要指的是词汇量不足。词汇量不足会导致考生在写作文时，往往不断重复同一个词，使得作文索然无味。比如“促进”一词的表达上，有些考生只知道improve,于是不断使用该词。殊不知，还可以用 promote, enhance, advance等词来替换表达。
第二点指的是考生词汇使用不当。也就是说考生在记忆词汇的时候没有完全掌握词汇的用法，以至于使用错误。这就会导致读者对文章有误解，搞不清作者所想要表达的意思。
二、突破雅思口语5分建议
如果考生想要突破雅思口语5分的话，在备考时要增强对常用单词的熟练使用程度和发音尤为重要。建议考生要注意自己说英语的能力。比如老外每天交流时，使用单词最多为1000左右，而且那些单词都是我们所熟悉的，简单的，但是强调的是考生对这些单词的熟练度。换句话说，就是考生在积累词汇的时候不要仅限于量，而是要注重质，也就是词汇要使用准确。如果词汇量丰富，但是词汇使用错误连篇的话，也没有多大用处。而且如果在口语交流中用一些*时用不到的单词，难词，那么说出来的话也不会像是自己的话，更多的是像背的。而背诵在口语考试中是一大忌，若被发现，分数会很低，考生一定要格外注意。因此，先要弄懂每一个词的本身的具体用法，并准确使用之后，再慢慢积累量，这样才会有所成效。
另外，考生在说答案时，需要有一些自然的语言停顿和语言节奏、重音以及连读。这是非常重要的，也是很多考生容易忽视的。若考生始终无法掌握的话，不妨看一些正宗、地道的美剧，英剧等，学*主人公们是如何表达的，抑扬顿挫是如何体现出来的，并多加模仿。
以上就是浅谈雅思口语5分的详细内容，考生若想提升自己的口语水*的话，在*时一定要用心准备，多张口练*，这样才会有进步，取得高分，更多雅思备考经验我们将会陆续为大家更新。
在英语学*中，应努力提高听力。这样可以借 助听觉，大量。快速地复*学过的单词和词组， 并在此基础上扩大知识面，更多地掌握同一词 的不同用法，提高阅读速度与理解能力。下面 笔者根据自己*两年的实践，与英语自学者谈 谈在提高听力方面的点滴体会。
我觉得要提高听力，首先应从多听教学听力录 音带入手，如所学的课本录音带，口语教材录 音带，也可以选听适合或略高于自己水*的有 趣的'材料。无论是精听或是泛听，最好开始都 不要看文字材料。精听应先把录音内容从头至 尾听一遍，再把听不懂的地方一遍又一遍地反 复听。若有些地方实在听不懂，也应尽量听清 各个音节，然后再翻开书看一看，有些影响理 解的生词可查一下词典。接着再合上书从头至 尾听，直到能够听懂全部内容为止。通过这样 的听力训练，可促使自己提高辨音及听力理解 能力。如果读过书面材料再去听录音，往往就 不是耳朵在辨音，而是大脑在思索，背诵，如 果看着书面材料听，则往往是自己的默读，这 样达不到提高听力的目的，遇到新材料的时候 就又会听不懂。
精听最好是选用教学录音和有故事情节的短文 或科普短文；泛听则可选用一些口语教材或一 些有趣的小故事，使自己多接触录音材料，以 求熟悉英语发音，扩大知识面，提高听力。泛 听可一遍过，只要听懂大概意思就行了。如果 一遍听不懂，可倒过来再听一遍，还是听不懂， 就翻一下书，继续听下去占在第一遍听新材料 的时候，一定要聚精会神，让自己的思维跟上 每一个音节。在每句停顿时，可在脑海里反复 一下。听的当中遇到生词不要停下多想，因为 有些生词可以在整个内容中理解。有些生词并 不影响理解意思，可以不管，停下来想，反而 影响听下面的内容。听音时要随着录音材料的 频率在脑中用英语重复，而且速度要练得能跟 上录音速度，不能边听边翻译。一般只要难度 相当，能听清大部分单词，是可以理解其大意 的。
以上只是自己在提高听力方面的点滴体会。各 人有各人的提高听力的经验，尽管甲的经验不 一定适用于乙，乙的经验也不一定适用于甲， 但可以相互启发，取长补短，用不同的方法来 达到相同的目的。英语自学者们，让我们共同 总结经验，提高我们的英语听力水*吧。
——一个月内拿下雅思写作6分备考方法 (菁华3篇)
用词搭配是我国学生学英语最感棘手的地方,在雅思写作中，这种错误也是经常出现的，所以希望大家引起重视，因为中文里的'某些词语在不同的语境里,英语有不同的说法,而这些说法是约定俗成的,完全是*惯用法所致,我们稍有不慎,便会犯错。现举一些考生在考试中常犯的错误:
① At college, we should learn as much knowledge as possible so t hat we can be well prepared for our future career.
At college, we should acquire as much knowledge as possible so t hat we can be well prepared for our future career.
“学*知识”是学生写作时经常用到的词组,但不少学生都写成learn knowledge,实际上knowledge是不能与learn搭配的,只能与acquire,obtain,absorb,accumulate ,develop,advance,gain,broaden ,enlarge,impart,derive ，deepen, brush up, digest 等词搭配使用。
② In July, they will take part in the final term examinations.
In July, they will take t he final term examinations.
“examination”或“test”不能与“take part in”搭配使用,但可以和attend, have, sit for
,conduct, enter for, get through, pass, fail等词语用在一起。

“examination”或“test”不能与“take part in”搭配使用,但可以和attend, have, sit for
,conduct, enter for, get through, pass, fail等词语用在一起。
由于对某些词和词组的意思缺乏真正的理解或把要表达的意思先用中文想好,然后逐字翻译成英语,造成累赘。例如:
① In my opinion, I think t he production and sale of fake commodities should be
banned.
I think t he production and sale of fake commodities should be banned.
in my opinion与I think意思完全相同,可以删去其中的一个。
② Scientists are trying to find a solution to solve t he problem of energy shortage .
Scientist s are trying to find a solution to t he problem of energy shortage.
一个词与它的派生词一起出现,造成意思重复,给人以累赘的感觉,改正后的句子变得简洁多了。
③ Waste gas is t he main cause which leads to air pollution .
Waste gas is t he main cause of air pollution.
cause和lead to都表原因,同时使用造成意思重复。

I’d like to talk about a piece of advanced equipment in my home,an air conditioner.My parents bought it in a department store when I was sixteen years old to replace the old one.
I think it is interesting to use this equipment,just like magic.Because when we use it,it can change hot air to cold air.When we are cold,we also get warm by using it.I can’t imagine what our life will be if we don’t have it.
Of course we don’t use it all the time.Because when in spring or autumn,the weather is very comfortable,it isn’t necessary to use it.If we use it all the time,it is not environmental friendly.Also,it is not good for our health if we stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time.When I feel very hot or cold outside,I will miss my air conditioner.
I think the most interesting subject in my high school is geography.I have a dream to travel around the world since I was a child.At that time,I would always wonder where exactly some famous cities were on the map,such as London,New York,so I am really interested in geography.

She was knowledgeable,hard-working and devoted to the students.I always felt very excited when I had geography classes because I couldn’t wait to learn more about the world.Besides that,I also liked reading atlas and other books about geography during my spare time.I would always have good marks/grades on geography throughout my high school years.
When I talk about geography with my classmates or even parents,I can always impress them with my knowledge.I still like geography and hope I can travel around the world in the future.

Big fat to get to the United States visa that day,his two months since the most happy day.
He is one of my best friends.Our four brothers,also the same room roommate.Old high school com*r,nets big fat; the second is handsome thin monkey,each party always attracts the attention of many girls; small high in the four of us ranked third,but the highest Chinese,love to write prose,Many,but there is always philosophical words emerge from him.I like a person without characteristics,in addition to like to do experiments.
Freshman I do not know anything,the boss has begun to busy buying Red Book.He has a thick English dictionary on the shelf,close to a line of words:four years later,the United States,I will be there.He is the one who knows the most of our goals.Other people,mostly like me,muddle to start classes,do experiments,write papers.As if the same high school students,the habit of being arranged every day full of Dangdang,once no one tube,as if something less.
We talked very seriously about this ideal.Big fat that he wanted to become a scientist.We laughed and said that ten years ago everyone in the essay,probably wrote:my ideal is to grow up when a scientist."Otherwise,that is the teacher." Shou monkey rush said,"At that time,I think the teacher is the biggest,if the teacher in the future,must be very imposing manner,no children dare to bully."
I also dreamed of childhood when scientists and teachers,high school,chose science,because I like the feeling of doing experiments.That feeling,as if every step of things,you can see,can control,and,wrong can also be repeated.If life can be as transparent as a test tube,but unfortunately otherwise,many times,we can not control life,so even more like the life in the laboratory,pure silence.
Start looking for work,Shou Hou looked at his personal resume sigh.Compared with others,his practice experience rarely,perhaps because too much time to love.However,he is still a good boy,so after the layers of interviews to a good Internet company,perhaps with us bubble BBS time to help him a lot of busy.
Small high finally chose our childhood dream career.He was going to be a teacher,and,not in the bustling city,there is no considerable wages.He applied to go to Qinghai,where there is a national volunteer support project.He said he came from the countryside,and knew how much children in the mountains would want to know about the outside world.
I early to keep the school's graduate students,less application abroad hard,less busy looking for work,less choice of anxious,but also less a lot of unforgettable memories.
Big Fat is the last of our four brothers.Celebrating the success of his dinner dinner,we can finally miss the four years of life,miss every drunk,and even every quarrel.Since the beginning of July,the first time I felt sour nose.
Really do not want to say goodbye,but the summer of 2005 that day,we really,really,to graduate.

I’d like to talk about my uncle’s family.I think the life style in this family is very different from mine because as a big family,they can do many things together.It’s very different from my family; they have three children,two boys and one girl.
This is big family is always very lively.I’m the only child,so sometimes I feel lonely.But in this family,you will always hear the laughter and everyone will be influenced by their cheerfulness.They always do some outdoor activities.For example,they would have picnic on weekends and go mountain climbing at the nearby places.They sometimes go far away places for long trips.I admire them because when I look at their pictures,I could see how happy they are.
Usually I think it’s a good thing to be the only child because I could have my parents’ full attention.However,sometimes,when I look at their family,I will feel it might be even better if I have brothers and sisters.
It is reported that the number of teenage smokers has been on the rise in recent years,which has caused great concern among people in ail walks or life.There are several reasons that account for this fact,but the following three may be the main ones.
First of all,it is easy for teenagers to get cigarettes.Cigarettes are available almost everywhere.Today＇s teens have more spare money,which comesfromthe improved living standard of their parents.They can buy what they want,includingcigarettes.Second,teenagers smoke because their adolescent years are filled with psychological problems.One of these problems,for example,is establishing a sense of identity.The teen years are the time when young people want to be more independentfromtheir parents and form their ownvalues.The enormous mental pressures of these years can make some people turn to smoking.A final,and perhaps most important,reason is peer pressure to conform.Teens often become very close to special friends,for one thing,and they will share a friend＇s interest,even if one of these is smoking.Teenagers also attendparties and other social gatherings where it is all important to be one of the crowd,to be "cool." Even the most mature teenager might be tempted to smoke than to risk being an outcast.For all these reasons,cigarettes are a major problem facing teenagers.
I’d like to describe a foreign teacher of mine,Bob.He is tall and strong,with strong muscles.He is a typical American―confident and humorous.He is a very attractive man.
A lot of my classmates liked his class very much.I also chose his course in the second year of my university.At first,I didn’t feel there was anything special about him.Later,I found that he really had the ability to make his class interesting because he was so funny and good at telling jokes.He was also creative.He had so many new ways for us to practice our English.
After class,I like talking with him in both Chinese and English because he also learned some Chinese.Through communicating with him,I learned a lot about western culture.
I need to thank him.Because of him,I feel that English is actually a fun subject to learn.My interest in English grew and now I’m still interested in learning language.

1, 小作文的字数不够乃低级错误之最！
2 ， 尽量把字迹写工整，虽然字迹工整与否并不是评分标准范畴里的，但若你的英文写成了狂草书，考官也是会抓狂的！
3 ， 小作文不需要用太过于复杂的句式，能避免使用定语从句就不用，记住一句话：用最精辟的语言表达出最完整的信息！
4 ， 在小作文中放入插入语，伴随状语等形式能让你的文章更显精辟！
5 ， 小作文是客观性作文，所以你的文章中只能使用客观用词，不能出现 because 等主观性解释性的语句。
6 ，不要用一般现在时贯穿首尾，一般情况下小作文主要时态为过去时。此外，将来时不会出现在小作文中！
7 ，单词重复属于小作文写作中的大忌！在精辟的同时请选用多样化的词汇彰显你的学术范儿。
8 ， 大作文所占分值更多，所以若遇大作文比较难写，先干掉大作文！
9 ， 老外非常注重英文写作时候的逻辑，所以在你的小作文里请分段清楚，那最能体现你清晰的逻辑思路。
10 ， 熟练掌握小作文三大段框架，即开头介绍段，中间描述段和结尾总结段，这会让你的文章看起来更具有条理和整洁。
11 ，中间描述段要以便于对比为目的，从对比和类比，从不同属性的比较，从最具有代表性的数据入手等都是行之有效的分段方法。
12 ， 小作文写作最好有明确是时间分配，即准备阶段 3 分钟，写作阶段 15 分钟。严格遵循 18 分钟完成小作文的要求。绝对不能抢大作文的风头！
13 ， 绝对不能忽略对比，当你用完比较级，最高级后开始绞尽脑汁时，何不尝试一下从数据入手，从曲线本身入手，从总量对比入手使用分数，倍数，百分比等语法手段多方位多角度立体式轰炸呢？
14 ， 字数不能过多，字数过多只说明一个问题：你在描述 all features 而不是 main features ！
15 ，在确定好首段改写 introduction 以及末段总结后，从宏观出发，找到分段点。再确定 main features. 最后选定合适的词和句。层层递进，逐个击破！
16, 不要为了凑字数而写，在准备阶段最好在心中有数，设定好整篇文章可以用几个句子完成，以期达到精辟和有效，没用的信息只会让考官反感。
17 ，结尾段不要遗漏，相反，重申总结或通过中间段分析得出结论能提高你文章的整体层次感！
18 ，单词拼写错误是写作中最不划算的扣分项，请写完后迅速浏览自己文中的单词拼写问题。

题目给出的是流程图，就是以图示的方法把一个过程或流程清楚地显示了出来，现在要求考生做的是把该流程图还原成说明文。由此可见，我们实际上要做的就是看图作文。而大家都知道，看图作文是我们在小学最初学写作文时的入门做法。照着图来写，省却了要自己想象和构思的过程，这自然比起写议论文的挑战度要低一些。所以，大家应该更有信心去对付流程图作文，毕竟实际上所做的是“看图作文”。
流程图写作基本原则
流程图作文是以对流程的描述为主的。全文的安排通常分为两个主要部分：引言段和主体部分。引言段是用来作简介的，介绍该流程图表示了一个什么什么的过程，常用的句型为主语+谓语+宾语模式。然后视情况可以多加一句说整个过程可以分为若干个阶段。引言段只需一段，通常就是这么一二句话。
主体部分是文章的核心部分，主要是说明该流程，所以是说明文式的行文。主体部分可依照整个流程分成几个阶段而大体相应地分为几个自然段。主体部分的写作原则如下：
1.把图看懂
这是首要前提，理解了流程图表示的是什么以及是怎样的一个过程，才谈得上用文字表达出来。能否看得懂图取决于几方面的因素：词汇量，知识面，生活经验和常识等。考生*时要有心地做一下这些方面的积累和准备。一般来说，流程图是不难看懂的。万一有些什么地方卡住了，也要大胆地合乎逻辑地去猜测，推想，判断，要灵活机敏。
2.按图示的顺序写
流程图会表示一个过程的流向顺序。因此，不难按照图示的顺序来写。若是分成几个阶段的，就按顺序逐个阶段来描述，通常就相应地分成几个自然段落。
3.将图所提供的词扩展(或串)成句子
流程图中会提供一些关键的说明性的词，比如步骤或环节的名称，怎样做，添加什么原料，去掉什么，输送到哪儿等等。我们就可以直接利用这些关键词写成句子，方法有两类，依照图的情况而分别采用之。如果流程图比较简短，用扩展的办法，就是以一个关键词为核心词，扩展成一个甚至两个句子，以达到字数的要求。反之，若图比较长而复杂，就采用串的办法，一句话把两个甚至三个步骤串起来，这样可以把较长的过程压缩得短一些来描述。无论用哪一种方法，都要利用流程图上所给出的词，这是图提供给我们的方便，要充分利用。在读懂图的基础上，再有这些关键词的帮助，这篇作文就不难写出来了。整篇文章字数要求是150字，图中给出的词往往就占了将*三分之一，考生要写的就只是余下的三分之二左右了。
4.主体部分的句子多用被动语态
流程图说明文的特点是多用被动语态，主要是指主体部分对过程说明性的句子采用被动语态，这样会显得比较客观和学术性一些。
5.注意连接词和转折词的运用
流程图说明文是按照一个流程的顺序来写的，上句和下句之间往往存在着先后次序的逻辑关系，或者意思转折的关系。因而，两句之间经常需要用到有关的连接词或转折词。考生要注重这两类词或短语的使用，而且要用得自然，合理和圆润，这样才能使全文读起来清晰流畅，一气呵成。
6.尽量避免用词重复，做到变化，多样化
这一点其实对于所有英文写作都一样的，流程图作文当然也不例外。写作英文时要带着这个观念，善于运用同义词语。不光是同义词之间的转换使用，还要扩展到同义的词和短语，短语与句子之间的变换。养成这个*惯对写作很有益处。
当然尽量避免用词重复，并不是说绝对不可以重复，只是尽量避免。有时有些专有名词是难免重复的，但即使要重复用到，也尽可能拉远一点距离，不宜靠得太*重复。
Which plays the major role in children's personality development, nature or nurture?
Over the past few decades there has been an ongoing nature-versus-nurture debate about the causes of children’s personality. To the best of my knowledge, there are many influences on the development of a child’s personality, but the main causes are his genetic makeup, environment, and behavioral genetics.
There is evidence that both genetics and environment affect children’s personality. Studies have shown that the tendency to acquire some personality characteristics �C including activity levels, anxiety, aggression, and independence �C can be inherited. Although one’s genetic makeup does not determine one’s behavior, it provides a child strong tendency to behave in a particular way.
Personality is also influenced by environment. Thus, a child with particular personality characteristics is more likely to show them if the home environment reinforces them. For example, harshly punishing a child who has a genetically based tendency for aggression contributes further to the child’s aggression.
Major advances have been made through behavioral genetics, the field concerned with the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors on individual behavior. For example, if we study the personalities of identical twins who have been separated since birth, we may find that the twins have the same genetic makeup but differ in the environments in which they are reared. Similarities and differences can help reveal the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences.
To sum up, the shaping of a child’s personality is attributed mainly to the role of specific social experiences and environmental events, his genetic makeup as well as the behavioral genetics. (250 words)
