1.明白考试规则。
雅思写作分为Task 1(小作文,150字以上)和Task 2(大作文，250字以上)，考试总共1小时，建议20分钟写小作文，40分钟写大作文。其中大作文的分数比重更高，所以要重点掌握。
TR、CC、LR、GRA这四方面一定要烂熟于心。雅思考试是一个非常学术的写作考试。建议把官网的评分标准下载下来时时温故，一开始你可能吃不透，没关系，学习范文时刻意提醒自己从这四方面分析看作者如何着手，并且修改自己的写作练习时，也从这四个方面卡。至于看哪些范文后面会详细讲。
2. 多输入地道的表达。
多读、多背考官写的范文。古人说，熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟，这同样适用于英语学习。
看到好比较好的文章时，可以将范文中的构思角度方法、写作结构、好词好句摘录下来，之后在不断的练习，让这些构思，优美句子融入你的血液，达到“下笔如有神”的境界。
3. 小作文。
要重视main trends/overview，先写总体趋势，把握大方向，再细化表述。整理小作文常用词汇、句型，如表示上升下降的动词、名词，表示幅度的形容词、副词、there be句型、并列句、定于从句等。
4. 大作文。
总结不同的题型、问法，动笔前先想好内容、列提纲，写body段的时候，遵循topic sentence+explanation+example的结构，可让结构更清晰。不同分论点之间要用上恰当的逻辑连接词。
6、一定要找人批改，总结。
写完之后不要就完事了，还需要拿给老师或是水平比较高的小伙伴给改写，指出问题所在，这样相当于练习+反馈+范文 集一身。
写作提分技巧
一、拒绝无谓的单词和词组
1.尽量避免用一些不必要的单词和词组，它们无法给作文带来亮点，还会让句子显得冗长。
比如：When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion。
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。可以去掉。改为：
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents。
2.替换无聊的表达，故意写出复杂的长难句，但是让整个句子显得特别冗长，其实并不会给你的雅思作文加分。
例如：Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time。
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，改为：Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now。
二、拒绝重复词汇和表达
1.雅思写作评分标准中有一点：丰富性，但很多考生无法做到这一点。还有一个常见的问题是，句子没有重复，但意思却重复了。
例如：The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size。
large对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large。
2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来表达
例如：My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm。
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly，显得更为简洁：
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm。
三、使用正确的语法结构
1.一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。
例如：The situation that resulted in my grandfather's not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm。
从意思上来分析，这句话需要表达的概念是“grandfather's not being able to study”，而在表达这个概念时，主语是situation，谓语动词是was，不能强调需要表达的重点概念，改为：My grandfather couldn't study engineering because his father needed help on the farm。
2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构
例如：There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather。
改为：My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day。
3.把从句改为短语或单词。
例如：Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote。
改为：The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university。
4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候，才使用被动语态。
例如：In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather's family。
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather's family”，而使用了被动语态後，重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达是主动语态，相对来说更简洁：
In the fall, my grandfather's family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay。
5.用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语，
例如：My grandfather didn't have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends。
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达，即loiter：
My grandfather didn't have time to loiter with his school friends。
6.有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达
例如：Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree。
可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子：
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree。
