雅思考试注重“语言运用”和“交流”。“运用”意味着熟悉同一个词本身的变化，并准确地运用于不同的语境中，而不是一味地寻找新词、大词或难词去代替;“交流”则限定了词汇的范围是日常沟通的学术场景。因此，在雅思写作考试中，考生们并不需要一味地追求“大词”“难词”，青岛朗阁小编告诉你，“简单词汇”也可以成就雅思写作高分哦~

　　根据剑桥雅思真题所需的词汇来看，要达到雅思6分，大约需要5000左右的词汇量。分数越高，对词汇量的要求也会递增。而雅思对词汇量的要求在听、说、读、写四个方面也会有所不同。就雅思写作而言，熟练使用3000左右的词汇就可以取得较高的分数，甚至满分。或许很多考生会惊讶，真的可以吗?Absolutely yes! 经常阅读国外的期刊或报纸，比如‘Economist’、BBC NEWS, 我们会发现，英语文章的好坏不在于词用得多难，而是词的使用是否恰当，表达是否生动清晰，逻辑是否合理，句式是否多样。

　　前雅思写作考官说过这样一段话：“One of the main messagesthat I try to communicate in my lessons is that 'difficult' words and grammar are not the secret to ahigh score. You don't need to be Shakespeare to get band 7, 8 or 9! Infact, 'difficult' language often has a negative effect on people's scores.Instead of impressing the examiner, the 'difficult' language may be unnatural,inappropriate, or just incorrect.”他明确表示难词对雅思写作成绩没有帮助，用得不恰当反而适得其反，所以考生不要一味地埋头背单词，一定要知道该词使用的语境和范围。

　　一、何为雅思写作高分作文

　　雅思写作Task1高分作文分析：

　　The table below shows theamount of waste production (in millions of tonnes) in six different countriesover a twenty-year period. 2004. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main featuresandmake comparisons where relevant.

　　Sample:

　　The chart compares theamounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990and 2000.

　　It is clear that the USproduced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined.It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduceits waste output by the year 2000.

　　Between 1980 and 2000,waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and risingtrends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste outputincreased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw wastetotals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively.

　　The trends for Ireland andKorea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, wasteproduction increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast,cut its waste output by 12million tonnes between 1990 and 2000. (164)

　　这是雅思写作前考官Simon的9分范文，但学生几乎都认为，整篇文章词汇较简单，为什么可以拿满分。其实纵观雅思写作的评分细则，并没有词汇的难易度这一评判标准。反之，我们根据雅思写作的评分细则来分析这篇作文为什么可以拿满分：

　　1.Task Achievement: Fullysatisfies all the requirements of the task and clearly presents a fullydeveloped response.

　　这个标准其实很难界定，到底怎样做才是“fully satisfies”, 而且在不同的雅思写作考官面前会有主观的不同。

　　首先要注意雅思写作题目的审题，看清并理解题中的文字信息，同时也要结合图中所给的细节，尤其是对数据的理解，明确数据对象。

　　比如：

　　文字部分关注以下信息：研究对象为“the main source ofenergy”, 地点：in the USA,时间：between 1980 and 1990。阅读图表信息，了解数据是百分比，同时给出了five sources。

　　所以正确的表达方式为“42% of energy was produced by oil”。可是很多雅思写作考生会错误地理解为“42%of energy was oil in the USA”, 这种信息理解性错误就会导致失分。

　　在每一篇雅思写作小作文的题目中，都会有这样一句话：Summarize the informationby selecting and reporting the main features andmake comparisons where relevant. 这句话里用and提出了两个要求：

　　1)需要概括图中的主要信息

　　对于写这个内容，学生经常问以下几个问题：“这部分写在哪里?”，“和总结有什么区别?”，“写什么内容?”，“有什么作用?”

　　解答前两个问题，可以引用前雅思写作考官Simon的解释：

　　Why shouldn't you write aconclusion? What's the difference between a conclusion and an overview?

　　First, a conclusion is a finaljudgement, decision or opinion. This is perfect for the task 2 essay,but task 1 asks you to write a description without analysis or opinions. On the other hand, an"overview" is a simple description of the main points. It is asummary of the information shown on the graph or chart.

　　Second, aconclusion should be at the end of a piece of writing. An overview or generalsummary could go either at the end or near the beginning. Personally, I think it's a good idea to describe themain features of the graph or chart near the beginning of your report.

　　So, the suggested structure for task 1 looks like this:

　　Introduction:whatdoes the chart show?

　　Overview / summary: what are the most noticeablefeatures?

　　Specific details: tryto write 2 paragraphs.

　　在这段话中，Simon明确表示雅思写作小作文无需总结，因为小作文不需要表明观点或个人立场，只需要抓住图中主要信息即可;同时Simon也给出了清晰的小作文结构。
