2016年3月31日雅思写作机经预测

备考指导-----
　　 1. 写作练习二步走：“精读背诵— 摘抄— 模仿”。
　　 很多同学写作的最大的问题是无话可说，解决这一问题的最好的方法是先大量精读雅思写作的范文，请记住“没有大量的输入就没有自由的输出”。我IPN资料有提供所有预测大小作文的详细范文写法，也提供各种各样写作套句，写作词组搭配和句型，首段中段和尾段诸多模版供选择，具体可以看我博客置顶文章。请记住雅思写作中所有的让考官眼前一亮的东西一定是提前设计好的。记得笔者之前曾和一位雅思的前考官交流过，她曾对我说了这样一句话，让我记忆犹新：“Every word in your essay should be preset..”
　　 2.多练习范文:
　　 根据科学统计要在雅思写作中取得7-8分的成绩，至少要练习15篇左右文章。希望同学们在练习的时候一定要掐好时间，最近几次考试很多同学大作文没有来得及写完，结果写作在5分以下，究其原因还是平时的实战练习太少了。写完之后一定要找到老师来批改，我自己给学生批改作文的实践告诉我：某一个学生所犯的错误的类型是不断重读重现的，比如我给一位雅思之前5分的学员一气改了5篇文章，发现5篇文章的错误保持高度一致：主谓一致错误，一个句子出现两个谓语动词，词性误用，中间段落论证单薄。后来改正之后，这次作文考出了8分的好成绩。
　　 雅思A类小作文每次考试都是全新的具体题目，只能预测题型。
　　 小作文重点排列应该是
　　 一级重点：饼图-柱状图-曲线-表格
　　 二级：饼图-柱状图-曲线-表格的综合图
　　 三级：流程图25%机率,地图15%机率(2015年12月5日，5月16日，2月14日,1月31日,2014年10月18日，7月10日，5月10日，3月8日，1月11日考了流程图;2016年1月30日, 2015年12月3日，10月8日,8月1日,6月6日,5月9日，3月21日,2014年10月25日,8月16日，6月21日,5月17日,3月1日考了地图;2013年9月7日，5月18日考了地图;10月12日，8月3日，2月23日考了流程图)。 以上题型此IPN包范文完整版里面都有详细题目，范文，写法，套句素材。
