如何在短期内提高雅思写作？
想要知道提高雅思写作成绩的秘诀是什么，就需要先知道雅思写作低分的规律是什么。
雅思写作最容易出低分的两种情况：
第一种: 严重跑题；逻辑混乱；词汇匮乏；句型单一，以上四种问题共存的时候，分数不高应该不奇怪；
第二种: 背模板，套用模版写作。
有的同学可能会问，为啥用高分模版得低分呢？原因很简单，你认为很好的模版，在阅卷无数的考官眼里都是千篇一律。不客气的说，愿意用模版的学生，是想走捷径不肯真正付出的学生，用模版教学的老师是个不成熟的老师。
那么真正有效的在短期内提高雅思写作成绩的秘诀是什么呢？
首先就是中英思维方式的转变。
一、汉英宏观上思维方式的差异
1. 英语的思维模式是直线式的.直接的,其特征可归纳为三个步骤:
1）Say what you're going to say.
2）Say it.
3）Then say what you've said.
比如：
a. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes into his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modem connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.
解析：上段中，第一句为 “topic sentence”, “很多人都向往美好的远程办公生活”，即“Say what you're going to say.”后面列举了3个例子来支撑第一句，即Say it.
2. 汉语的思维模式是曲线式的, 间接的,其特征可用成语“画龙点睛”来概括,即大量的笔墨用在铺垫,陈述上,最后才摆出自己的观点。
比如：
Definition of College Education
College is an institution of higher learning that gives degrees. All of us needed culture and education in life, if no education to us, we should go living hell. One of the greatest causes that while other animals have remained as they first man along has made such rapid progress is has learned about civilization. The improvement of the highest civilization is in order to education up-to-date. So college education is a very important thing which we don't need mention about it. （文中错误是原文中存在的）
解析：这为典型的中式写法。前文用大量的铺垫来说理，最后得出结论“大学教育很重要，我们没必要再提及”
二. 思维方式差异在议论文的具体体现：
1. 英语议论文：
1）先概括后举例(Generalization-Example),例如:
There are certainly dangers in taking time off between finishing high schools and starting university education. Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. (摘自剑桥5)
解析：先表明“有弊端”，后具体列举弊端支撑
2）先表明立场,后说诸多细节(Preview-Detail)
例如:
It is evident that fulfilling some tasks over modern technologies，such as cellphones, the internet and other computer network is highly efficient. In the past, if people had the need to do shopping, they had to go to the shopping mall; but today, all can be done with the click of a mouse and the goods will be delivered home, even at a lower price. And we used to need to go to the bank and wait in a desperately long line if we wanted to make a transaction from one bank account to another; instead now we may comfortably make use of the self-banking service at home provided access to the internet. Actually, almost all banks and financial organizations are well-connected to the internet, which promotes the development of international trade and the world economy dramatically. Thus, obviously, the convenience and efficiency of life has been improved significantly due to the technological advances.
解析：首句先表明“…highly efficient”，再阐述具体的细节支撑。
2. 汉语中：中国学生阐述时不从主题入手, 而是用各方面的情况和问题加以暗示或明示;在文章中提供的往往是自己的主张而不是证据，
如下文：
For high school students, I think the economic things I learned before is hard for me to understand, which is not like subjects like math or physics, it is not concern about some real exist in our life. For physics, maybe we learn how to calculate the acceleration of one object, we can use it and understand it well because it exist in our daily life. For math, I think it is the most useful subject we learn in school, and we can clearly know what the thing we learn is. But for economy, we learn things like how government control the economy, how to reduce the inflation. What we learned in the economy class, I don’t think most of us can control this kind of thing in our future. So I think for high school students, economy is not worth to learn.（摘自学生练习，文中语法错误及论证方面问题都为原文中已存在）
解析：先通过举例、对比进行大量铺垫，阐述，直到“but”之后，才出现重点“for economy”-- 最后得出结论“…economy is not worth to learn.” 这篇作文表现的是典型的间接的, 曲线式思维模式。
三、逻辑关系的差异,即段落内句与句之间意思的关联性：
1. That is not to say that lack of face-to-face communication brings no problems. One of the biggest concerns is safety. With the increasing virus threats and well-trained hackers, online deals are well exposed to all kinds of risks and losses, for example, the wide-spread problem of identity theft. （正确的写作方向）
解析：通过分析可以看出，句与句之间关系对应严谨，对应关系依次为： “problems – safety - virus threats and well-trained hackers - risks and losses - identity theft”.句子之间“环环相扣”，形成一条“逻辑链”。
2. Why Is English Important to Scientists
1）We live in a world which science and technology is developing very quickly.
2）The developing of science needs scientists from all over the world exchange their work more and more frequently.
3）However, the scientists come from different countries usually speak different languages.
4）If there isn't a common language that can be understood by everybody, they won't understand each other.
5）On the other hand, we wish to know what others are doing and what experiences and knowledge and things we should learn to improve our work, so we must master the foreign language.
6）However, there are countless languages in the world, we cannot learn all of them.
7）Fortunately, there is one kind of language that is commonly used all over the world, English. Most of the scientists of the world can speak and read and write English, most of the important academic meetings use English, if we master English, we can go to any corner of the world to exchange with the people without knowing their mother language. We can say we are holding one of the very powerful weapons of study science.（不符合英语写作习惯的段落）
解析：文中前四句说明了情况,提出了一个问题,在没有解决问题的同时又立即用On the other hand提出了另一种情况和问题, 接着又However提出第3个问题,直到第7句又引入了到“英语这个主题上。句间意思上关联性不直接。
雅思写作考察的重点：表达方式不仅要符合基本的英语表达习惯，更为重要的一个重点为语言组织能力与逻辑推理能力，即所说的逻辑关系：段落内句与句之间必须有紧密的联系，达到“串联”的效果。
结论：当然，中英思维方式的差异远远不止这些，但在备考雅思写作时，如果能够明确了解这些基本的差异，通过大量的实战练习掌握英语的表达习惯及行文逻辑，从根本上把思维方式扭转过来，基础薄弱的同学可以在原有基础上提升分数；有一定基础的同学基本可以达到小分要求；基础良好的烤鸭们，那就是写作高分的预备军了。
