雅思考試的作文復習技巧
1：長短句原則
寫一個短小精辟的句子，可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主題：
As a creature， I eat; as a man， I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind， they are in a way quite similar.
PS：在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短，且先長后短;在文章主體部分，要先用一個短句解釋主要意思，然后在闡述幾個要點的時候采用先短后長的句群形式，定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。
2：主題句原則
國有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主，否則會給人造成“群龍無首”的感覺!相信各位讀過一些破爛文學，故意把主體隱藏在文章之內，結果造成我們稀里糊涂不知所云!所以一定要寫一個主題句，放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾，讓讀者一目了然!
PS：隱藏主題句可是要冒險的!
To begin with， you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation， you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly。
3：一二三原則
領導講話總是第一部分、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部分、第一點…，雖然啰嗦但還是條理清楚�？脊賯兛次恼乱脖厝灰ㄟ^這些關鍵性的“標簽”來判定你的文章是否結構清楚，條理自然。破解方法很簡單，只要把下面任何一組的詞匯加入到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。
1)to begin with， then， furthermore， finally(強烈推薦)
2)to start with， next， in addition， finally(強烈推薦)
3)first and foremost， besides， last but not least(強烈推薦)
4)most important of all， moreover， finally
5)on the one hand， on the other hand(適用于兩點的情況)
6)for one thing， for another thing(適用于兩點的情況)
PS：不僅僅在寫作中注意，平時說話的時候也應該條理清楚!
4：一二三短語優先原則
寫作時，尤其是在考試時，如果使用短語，有兩個好處：其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點，如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單，看不到一個自己不認識的短語，必然會看你低一等。相反，如果發現亮點—精彩的短語，那么你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路，只有湊字數，怎么辦?用短語是一個辦法!比如：
I cannot bear it.
可以用短語表達：I cannot put up with it.
I want it.
可以用短語表達：I am looking forward to it.
這樣字數明顯增加，表達也更準確。
5：多實少虛原則
原因很簡單，寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西，不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實詞，少用虛詞。我這里所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。比如我們說一個很好的時候，不應該說nice這樣空洞的詞，應該使用一些諸如generous， humorous， interesting， smart， gentle， warm-hearted， hospital 之類的形象詞。再比如：
走出房間，general的詞是：walk out of the room
但是小偷走出房間應該說：slip out of the room
小姐走出房間應該說：sail out of the room
小孩走出房間應該說：dance out of the room
老人走出房間應該說：stagger out of the room
所以多用實詞，少用虛詞，文章將會大放異彩!
6：多變句式原則
1)加法(串聯)
都希望寫下很長的句子，可就是怕寫錯，怎么辦，最保險的寫長句的方法就是在任何句子之間加and，但最好是前后的句子又先后關系或者并列關系。比如說：
I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.
如果是二者并列的，我們可以用一個超級句式：
Not only the fur coat is soft， but it is also warm.
其它的短語可以用：
besides， furthermore， likewise， moreover
2)轉折(拐彎抹角)
批評某人缺點的時候，我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點，然后轉入正題，再說缺點，這種方式雖然陰險了點，可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢，我們說話的時候，只要在要點之前先來點廢話，注意二者之間用個專這次就夠了。
The car was quite old， yet it was in excellent condition.
The coat was thin， but it was warm.
更多的短語：
despite that， still， however， nevertheless， in spite of， despite， notwithstanding
3)因果(so， so， so)
昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩，然后我主動搭訕，然后我們去咖啡廳，然后我們認識了，然后我們成為了朋友…可見，講故事的時候我們總要追求先后順序，先什么，后什么，所以然后這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表示的是先后或因果關系!
The snow began to fall， so we went home.
更多短語：
then， therefore， consequently， accordingly， hence， as a result， for this reason， so that
4)失衡句(頭重腳輕，或者頭輕腳重)
文章中如果出現這樣的句子，就更會讓考官看到你的`句子與眾不同。其實就是主語從句，表語從句，賓語從句的變形。
舉例：This is what I can do.Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.
同樣主語、賓語、表語可以改成如下的復雜成分：
When to go， Why he goes away…
5)附加(多此一舉)
如果有了老婆，總會遇到這樣的情況，當你再講某個人的時候，她會插一句說，我昨天見過他;或者說，就是某某某，如果把老婆的話插入到我們的話里面，那就是定語從句和同位語從句或者是插入語。
The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.
I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.
其實很簡單，同位語--要解釋的東西刪除后不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句---借用之前的關鍵詞并且用其重新組成一個句子插入其中，但是whom or that 關鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。
6)排比(排山倒海句)
文學作品中最吸引人的地方莫過于此，如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話，那么我希望你引用一個個的排比句，一個個得對偶句，一個個的不定式，一個個地詞，一個個的短語，如此表達將會使文章有排山倒海之勢!
Whether your tastes are modern or traditional， sophisticated or simple， there is plenty in London for you.
Nowadays， energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil， coal，natural gas， solar heat， the wind and ocean tides.
We have got to study hard， to enlarge our scope of knowledge， to realize
our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢宏)
要想寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
7：挑戰極限原則
既然是挑戰極限，必然是比較難的，但是并非不可攀!
原理：在學生的文章中，很少發現諸如獨立主格的句子，其實也很簡單，只要花上5分鐘的時間看看就可以領會，它就是分詞的一種特殊形式，分詞要求主語一致，而獨立主格則不然。
比如：
The weather being fine， a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
Africa is the second largest continent， its size being about three times that of China.
