做了大半年的“鴨子”，在雅思烤爐里蒸發(fā)自己的青春，在1月22日終于成“精”得到解脫！在“烤火”的過程中真是苦多過甜，不過分的說，備考雅思的另一個大收獲便是提高你的心理承受能力！我對備考過程有很多感受經驗，想寫下來給后來的鴨子，也算是一點拙作。

閱讀和聽力屬于客觀題，絕對是靠真本事，除了練習別無選擇。而口語和作文同屬于主觀題，得分很大程度取決于考官。在此我重點說說主觀題。

口語
無論口語作文，都需要準備些實質性的東西。確切來說，口語是material,作文是ideas。我這人不喜歡買書，書本里的東西也有限，不能任你隨意搜索。所以我的resource來自internet.當要準備某個topic時我就搜索相關話題的外國網(wǎng)站（一定要是外國的），這樣能保證我的表達完全地道（idiomatic）。象大家都熟悉的MSN.com，就是不錯的選擇！當然你自己也要做判斷，哪些material適合writing，哪些適合speaking。比如口語中討論healthy food及fast food的話題，我就上網(wǎng)搜索到了如下material：Healthy food is commonly regarded as that food with low fat,low calorie,low sugar,and many different kinds of vitamins. Fast food is more and more popular in city life,it tastes good and is convenient. But Most of fast food is junk food with high fat,high calorie and poor nutrition, such as potato chips,fried chicken,sweets and so on.在論及過去和現(xiàn)在人們的飲食習慣時可以說：in the past,people didn't care if the food was nutrient,but if it was clean,not to mention diet balance. At present,however,people could enjoy many different flavors yumy food(口語高頻詞匯).Young people like fast food,while the old care more for healthy food.如果再問你何謂diet balance,你可以說it refers to keeping a balance between eating and drinking.

總之我覺得最大最好的資源其實就是internet，你可以隨心所欲的查到任何topic的相關資料，又全又快！

作文
TASK2的議論文是重點，題目多是教育類和社會熱門話題。高分秘訣是你的ideas及流暢且不帶CHINESE味的行文。只要做好這兩點，拿高分不難！

先說ideas。其實ideas并不要求高深，但務必合理、切題、鮮明。為了使文章有說服力，贊同某觀點的ideas至少要兩點以上。如果是兩點，則論證要充分些。論證時可采用數(shù)據(jù)舉例和反面論證這兩種方法（想必讀過高中的人都不陌生，忘記的話可以翻翻語文課本的）。這兩種方法的優(yōu)點是直觀、對比強烈，充分使你的ideas更有說服力！需要特別說明的是，數(shù)據(jù)可以自己編，因為考官不會去核實數(shù)據(jù)的真實性，你可以編些合理的利于論點的數(shù)據(jù)。平時看范文時注意下別人是怎樣引用數(shù)據(jù)就行了。我自己常用的就有"An authoritative reporting indicate that...","A research done by the university of xxx demonstrates that"

再說行文。有3點注意：
1.層次分明，適當使用一些詞匯或短語，例如firstly,secondly,first of all,furthermore等等，大家一定都熟悉了。

2.流暢就是通順，一氣呵成。不要讓人有突兀的感覺，一下說東。一下又跳到西。并且還要注意換詞，這點其實很重要。詞匯是否豐富也是評分標準之一，表達相同或相近的意思時要注意換詞。最好不要使用高頻爛詞，要給考官耳目一新的感覺。這是我上外交的作文課所體會到的。外國人其實就喜歡標新立異，與眾不同。比如使用最多的單詞opinion,agree，大多數(shù)人在說“我同意某某觀點”時都用"I agree with this opion"（超級爛）。其實你完全可以用"I'm in favor of/share this point of view"來代替前句，我相信后者更討考官喜歡。還有“認為”，很多人都用think，其實完全可以用hold the view 來代替。不過你也不能為了標新立異而使用那些深奧難懂的特低頻詞匯，那樣也會遭考官反感的。另外就是句子要適當采用復合結構或者定語從句。

3.剔除中國味。這點最重要了，想必也是很多考生最頭痛的問題了。老實說，這不容易做到，需要長時間的積累。不過也是有捷徑可走的。首先要改變我們的中式思維習慣。歐美人都喜歡直截了當，一步就直搗黃龍（指結果性的DD）。而中國人就喜歡拐彎抹角，先分析前因，說了一大通，最后一句才是后果目的。加上考官一天閱N分卷，更沒耐心去琢磨你的用意了。所以這時我們要改變思維角度合乎歐美人的習慣。先講結論或關鍵點，然后再去證明。平時練習時要注意收集有用的表達句子及專有名詞，閱讀材料可以找些英文報刊或者網(wǎng)站。我平時就喜歡瀏覽英文站點，對喜歡的文章就記下其行文，時間一長，就有感覺了，自己動筆時就自然會用地道的英文表達方式了。我這人從小就擅長點寫作（有發(fā)表過作品），所以這次考試寫TASK2時，我?guī)缀醪毁M吹灰之力就一氣呵成了。在此附上我的1篇習作（構思行文完全出自原創(chuàng)）。論題難度中上，大家可以參考，想干嗎都行。

我留下我的聯(lián)系方式吧：QQ49822926，想跟我交流經驗的鴨子朋友都歡迎來Q。另外我也可以給朋友推薦備考教材或者轉讓我的資料(內含保高分的first-hand information)，總之有興趣的朋友就來吧，無聊者勿擾哦~~
 
附習作一篇：
Topic

It's the only way to improve the satety on our roads that give much strict punishment to driving offence.Are you agree that?

[特別注意]題目問的是：你贊同還是反對——提高道路安全的唯一途徑是嚴懲駕駛違規(guī)行為。如果你贊同，你就必須證明嚴懲駕駛違規(guī)行為是唯一途徑；如果你反對，則要證明嚴懲駕駛違規(guī)行為不是唯一途徑。注意審題，不然很容易偏題。我的立場是贊同。

IDEAS：
1.正是因為處罰輕，使得違規(guī)駕駛的肇事司機喪無視他人生命及安全，只有嚴懲，才能防止違規(guī)駕駛，確保道路安全。論據(jù)：2004年中國大中城市交通事故報告顯示：事故原因有80%由違規(guī)駕駛所致。大多數(shù)司機的安全意識很淡薄。
2.近年來政府加大交通安全的宣傳力度，但收效甚微，違規(guī)駕駛現(xiàn)象高居不下，只有嚴懲才能起到殺雞殺儆候之效
3.以新加坡為例，法律嚴明，交通事故率極低。

The issue of how to improve the safety on roads has always been the focus of much attention.people come up with various solutions,but some emphasize that the only feasible way is to give strict punishment to driving offence.Personally,I share these people's point of view.

It is much lesser punishment that makes those hit-and-run drivers devoid of the reverence for other people's life and close attention to road safety.---topic sentence An authoritative traffic analysis reporting indicates that approximately 80% of traffic accidents result from driving offence which occured in large and medium cities in China during the second half of 2004, and the rest of traffic accidents are due to bad weather and poor quality of automobile. These statistics show that most automobile drivers lack the consciousness of safe driving.They deserve severe legal punishment.Only after stricter punishment is carried out can driving offence decrease.

In recent years,the Chinese government intensify efforts to publicize safe driving and traffic rules by  the mass media(i.e. TV and radio,   newspapers,magazines).But that has very little effect on reducing  driving offence.Therefore,it's time to beat the dog before the lion!   Only strict punishment can play a role of a serious warning to those reckless drivers.

Take an Asian country Singapore for instance.Singapore is well-known for its extremely stric trffic law worldwide.Those who break the traffic rules must be severely punished.Without the supervision of traffic police,an extraordinarily low rate of traffic accidents has been kept for years,which totally attributes to local people's following the traffic rules.

Undoubtedly,improving the unsafe traffic situation is the most vital thing these days.I firmly hold the    view that giving strict punishment      to driving offence is the unique practicable solution.
