题目要求算什么？放飞想象才重要？
不分大小写、数字、口头语，不拘小节？
.......
你躺枪了吗?

Problem - solution essay
问题解决型

讨论观点型
要求考生从不同的角度来讨论这个问题。在这种情况下，你不需要给出自己的意见。

Give your opinion
表达观点型

Two-part questions

Task 2:

开头段的目的主要是介绍题目的话题，这部分只需要写2-3个句子，你可以通过改写题目来完成。
Task 2

7分Introduction :
It is true that nowadays a huge number of sportsmen earn enormous remunerations unlike specialists in other necessary vocations. I agree with those people who reckon this phenomenon as discriminatory although the opposite view has its reasonable arguments as well.
6.Conclusion for Academic task 1
小作文没有结尾段？
小作文的结构安排应该包括4段：
介绍
概述
主体段落1
主体段落2
小作文在概述段，已经总结了主要数据的最明显的差异对比和趋势，因此不需要专门在结尾写一段总结。
大家可以参考下面的结构安排：
Example：
The graphs represent data with regard to the visitors to and from the UK, and the top nations that attract visitors from the UK.
As it is revealed in the line graph, during the period between 1979 to 1999 the dynamics of the number of tourists to the UK was much lower than from the UK. Regarding to most visited countries by the UK citizens, France is the most attractive place in 1999.
According to the line graph, in 1979, there are approximately 13 million of UK inhabitants visiting overseas and the number of overseas tourists was slightly lesser. After that, the figure of UK visitors ascended dramatically, peaking at almost 53 million in 1999. Meanwhile, the amount of overseas residents who visited the UK remained (27 million) smaller, while the margin between them was great.
Concerning to the bar chart, there were about 11 million of UK people visited France in 1999, followed by Spain which has around 9 million UK tourists. The number of people who went to the USA for traveling was slightly larger than those who chose Greece (3 million). The number of visitors who visited Turkey took the last place, standing at close to 2 million.
7.Too long paragraphs or too short paragraphs
段落太长或太短
各个段落应该控制大致相同的长度。雅思写作中，一个标准自然段最少3句话，最多不超过6句。
下面给大家分享一篇高分作文的主体段落结构，在这篇作文中，段落安排比较均衡，大家可以参考学习。
Example
Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think that is fully justified while others think it is unfair.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
7分范文（主体段）：
To begin with, people in such crucial professions as doctors, firefighters or policemen, do much more for benefits of humanity than sports players do. Undoubtedly, they devote whole their life to their jobs. They themselves out every day without skimping their time and energy, working mostly overtime, sometimes sacrificing their private life, for saving someone`s life. Another reason, that sportsmen`s salaries are not justified, is that a great amount of these celebrities
take care only about their well-being not worrying about other people`s interests and needs.
On the other hand, the majority of outstanding players do great jobs which have significant social, political and economical value. Obviously, they do something global improving the reputation of a particular country and the international attitude to a certain nation. As a consequence, the political and economic relationships strengthen, scales of trade and tourism rise enormously bringing tangible profits to the locals. Another direction of sportsmen`s work is charities. For instance, due to their fame, it is much more possible for them than for ordinary people to bring to the attention of the public any event or condition in poor countries, quickly and effectively gathering huge donations for treatment, support for poverty-stricken nations as well as for hospitals and schools construction.

细节取胜
8.Describing everything without selecting key information
流水账，无重点
不要去描述任何类型的图表上的一切信息，而要学会选择要点。 这是学术类考试的一个主要任务，同时也是留学所必需的技能。
小作文的主要考察点在于：
检查你注意趋势的能力；
区分主要观点和次要观点，并记录关键信息。
9.Describing everything without selecting key information
没有对比就只有低分的伤害
小作文旨在考察你比较不同的趋势以及它们之间的关系的能力。因此，你需要练习写好比较型句子，语言要简洁，趋势和数据的定义要准确，不需要其他拖沓的阐述。
10.Worrying too much about grammatical range in task 1
过分追求语法结构的华丽
语法结构的多样性是小作文评分标准之一，但没有必要花费太多时间去追求复杂且多变的语法结构，一些语法结构可能并不适合你所描述的话题。
你需要做的是：
在20分钟内，清晰而有逻辑地描述和比较给出的数据；
保证小作文在连贯性、任务完成度和准确性方面达到不错的表现。
11.Spending more than 20 minutes on task 1
小作文超过20分钟
小作文不要占用太长时间，备考期间就要练习每一段控制在5分钟左右，只有这样，你才能有条不紊，自信地去完成写作。
12.Always discuss both views
只讨论双方，忘记自己“主见”
许多考生对题目要求中的细节不够重视，题目要求考生给出自己的观点，他们却只讨论了问题的双方观点，未表明自己的立场。
这属于没有完成题目要求，会导致扣分。task achievement.是雅思写作评分标准之一，占到了考生分数的25%，所以一定要重视这方面的完成度。
13.Linking words: not use and overuse
不用或滥用连词
文章不同部分和语境，所需要的连词也不同。比如， 表示原因我们可以使用：

14.Inventing statistics
编造数据
在写作中，举例时， 如果只知道大概数据，最好避免使用，否则会被视为捏造事实，影响分数。
15.Numbers
数字写法
雅思写作中使用数字会造成扣分，应该用英文表述出来。
Example:
✘ I participated in the content 10 years ago.
✔ I participated in the content ten years ago.
16.”Millions" or "Million"
乱加“s”
中国学生容易犯的一个常见错误就是描写具体数字时，写成millions, thousands, hundreds.
描写具体数字时，million, thousand, hundred后面不用加s；
粗略地估计数目时，才用到millions, thousands, hundreds；
Example:
✘ 8 millions pupils
✔ 8 million pupils
✔ Millions of pupils
17.Contractions
频繁使用缩写
在雅思写作中， 使用don't, haven't等缩写形式都是不正式的，应该使用完整形式，如 do not, have not...
18.Capital letters
大区分大小写
所有的姓名、城市、国家、娱乐设施等名称都应该用大写字母书写。
Example：
✘ European business centre
✔ European Business Centre
19.Conclusion of the essay
口头总结
很多考生对于网上范文没有鉴别力，一味地模仿和借用一些过于随意的短语，如"To put it in a nutshell" 或 "In a nutshell"的结尾短语，这些短语比较口语化，不应该在学术写作中使用。
相对正式的表达方式如下：
To conclude
In conclusion
To sum up
