雅思作文Task1答題注意事項
在雅思寫作考試中，一共包括兩部分，小作文對於考生來說更有規律可循，但是也是有很多細節需要考生注意的。今天小編爲大家分享的是雅思作文Task1答題注意事項，希望大家在備考中提前注意到這些細節，養成一個良好的答題習慣。
雅思作文Task1答題注意事項
1. 時態
我們的雅思小作文中，很多的圖形的橫座標有着比較明顯的時間軸，這也意味着我們需要有不同的時態從而凸顯出你的時間軸，那麼小作文一般都會有什麼樣的時態呢?
(1)一般現在時
請大家銘記，我們的開頭段永遠都是這個時態，因爲開頭段的作用就是告訴雅思考官，我們下面所描寫的是一個什麼樣的圖形，不存在任何其他的時態出現。
The line graph describes the percentage of radio listeners and television viewers in the UK throughout the day from October to December in 1992.
(2)一般過去時
如果出現的年份或者具體時間是過去的話，那一般過去時是我們會經常會用到一個時態，表示數值的上升或者下降以及程度。
The data indicated that radio listeners increased substantially before 8 am, when the percentage reached to a peak of 27%. Then, it declined steadily in the following 20 hours, bottoming out at 2% at 4 am of the next day. The period from 4 am to 6 am saw another slight rise to 4% in radio listeners.
(3)一般將來時或者現在完成進行時
題目中可能會出現未來的時間點，那麼如果單純描述那個時間段的時候，需要用到一般將來時，但是如果是要表現從過去的時間點到未來時間點具有連續性的時候，那麼可以使用現在完成進行時，表示過去的動作持續到了現在，並且持續到將來。
As for the Japan`s population of aged persons, it experienced an apparently downward trend during the 1st decade since 1940,reaching the bottom value(around 10%) with a 5% decrease. After then, the percentage has been increasing within the following 90 years, reaching the top value, 80%.
2. 客觀性
其實我們的小作文就是需要各位考生能夠客觀的反應雅思寫作題目上圖標上的信息，並不需要同學們太過於“激情”，也就是題目中並沒有要求大家有自己的動作
u 不應有任何自己的主觀想象成分
u 比如自己判斷造成這個圖標數據的原因
u 或者計算圖表中的總數等
當然如果有以上的內容是不扣分的，但是對於我們來說其實是浪費了寶貴的時間在並沒有意義的部分。
3. 準確性
除去地圖題和流程圖題，我們都會遇到一大堆的數據，而且是以不同的形式出現，除了table題外，我們很多的數字是直接出現在圖表當中的，並且並沒有很準確的落在數值線上，那麼也就意味着，並沒有達到一個準確的數值，所以我們在表達的時候，就不能直接引用這樣的數據，前面需要加上一些副詞，比如around，about，approximate等等。
4. 詳盡性
這一點意味着我們需要將雅思圖表內容儘量的表達出來，尤其是table和bar chart題目，需要大家用不同的表達方式，比如定語從句、非謂語動詞、同位語等方式將每一個數據表達出來，否則表格內的內容將會有所缺失，圖表內容也並不完整。

And this, whether it is motivated by obstinacy, denial or a sober calculation of the strategic stakes in Iraq, is a good thing.
The new American commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, must report to Congress in mid-September on how his campaign is going.
Advocates of quitting say that after losing more than 3,000 soldiers and spending more than $300 billion America has already failed and should therefore depart.
So why, instead of waiting two months for the general's report, have politicians in Washington allowed the debate to take on such a frantic new character?

If anything, it has so far been a modest success.

經濟學人雜誌典型段落分析：
What Iran is doing at Natanz is entirely illegal. It has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and says its nuclear aims are peaceful. But having spent decades deceiving nuclear inspectors, it is disbelieved even by its friends. A year ago this month Russia and China therefore joined the rest of the UN Security Council in ordering Iran to stop. It carried on regardless. The Security Council followed up with two resolutions, in December 2006 and March this year, repeating its demands and applying sanctions. The centrifuges spin defiantly on.
雅思寫作的評分標準講解
雅思考試全程考試時間爲2小時55分鐘。其中，寫作在聽力、閱讀部分之後出現，是筆試的最後一項。雅思寫作考試要求在60分鐘內完成兩篇作文(Task 1 and Task 2)。寫作中，以移民爲主的培訓類(General Training)和以留學爲主的學術類(Academic)試題類型有所不同。
Task 1要求考生在20分鐘內完成150字以上的文章。G類(培訓類)要求考生針對題目要求寫一封信來詢問某方面信息或闡釋某種狀況。到目前爲止，出現較多的書信種類有投訴信、請求信、建議信、尋找失物信、邀請信等。而A類(學術類)則考覈圖表爲主。考得較多的有曲線圖、柱狀圖、餅狀圖、表格等。也有可能考到兩種不同種類的圖。另外，流程圖和示意圖也偶爾考到。
Task 2 要求考生在40分鐘內寫作一篇不少於250字的議論文。A類和G類在Task 2方面非常相似。考生可能需要對某個觀點發表支持或反駁意見，或者討論針鋒相對的一組觀點，或者解釋某種問題出現的原因並提出相應的解決辦。
雅思評分按9分制。基本上，移民或讀語言學校起碼要5分(Modest User)。留學需要6分(Competent User)以上。如果讀的是法律、傳媒、管理等名校的研究生的話，寫作最好達到7分(Good User)。但考生最後寫作成績並不是Task 1和Task 2的簡單平均，而是以Task 2爲主。
雅思寫作的評分標準不象四六級或託福採用整體式的評分，而是分項式評分(analytical scoring)。也就是說，考官給考生並不只打一個分數，而是根據具體的評分細則分項給分。
書信或圖表評分標準：
Task 1(書信或圖表)按照以下三方面評分：Task Fulfilment(完成任務);Coherence and Cohesion(連貫與銜接);Vocabulary and Sentence Structure(詞彙與句子結構)。
Task Fulfilment指的是考生是否能夠在正確審題的基礎上完成題目的指令。具體說來，書信作文應該完成書信的使命，題目裏的每一項要求都不可或缺。圖表作文應該在對於圖表所給出的數據進行分析的基礎上指出圖表的總體趨勢和走向，並點明與總趨勢不相吻合的特殊之處，而且還要有數據的支持。
Coherence and Cohesion指的是文章通過一定的銜接手段(Cohesive Devices)來表明上下文的連貫性(Coherence)。銜接手段，或叫語篇紐帶，經常用的有(logical)邏輯、(grammatical)語法和(semantic)語義三方面的連接詞(connectors)。
Vocabulary and Sentence Structure指的是文章的語言表達。5分或5分以下的作文一般語法錯誤較多。6分作文則一般沒有致命的語法錯誤，用詞和句子基本準確。而7分以上的作文用詞豐富(Variety)、句子結構複雜(Complexity)。
議論文評分標準：
Task 2(議論文)的三方面評分標準是：Arguments, Ideas and Evidence(論證，論點和論據);Communicative Quality(交流質量);Vocabulary and Sentence Structure(詞彙與句子結構)。
Arguments, Ideas and evidence涉及對於議論文的內容要求。具體說來，應該是內容切題，論據合理，論證充分。
對於Ideas(內容)而言，應該注意的是不要出現跑題。有的考生由於詞彙量有限，導致題目中的單詞不認識，從而寫作的時候寫離題了。比如：Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. Do you agree or disagree? 如果考生不懂international tourism是什麼意思的話，這道題是沒法寫的。但是，雅思寫作涉及的詞彙量並不是大得令人生畏，大概有六七千左右。考生萬一碰到個把單詞不理解的話，完全可以通過上下文加以推測。比如上面這句話中tension可能是個生詞，但是如果考生能想到rather than表示對比關係的話，可以推斷tension應該和understanding(理解)形成反義詞，那就應該是接近於誤解，即緊張關係的意思。所以，對於單詞，考生應該平時注意積累，考試時根據上下文推斷。
有的考生可能題目裏面每個單詞都認識依然寫跑題，那可能是因爲對於所涉及的題材不瞭解，沒話可說。比如：
When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is
pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 如果考生毫不瞭解所謂的傳統技能和生活方式的話，肯定對此束手無策。雅思議論文涉及contemporary social issues of common interest(人們普遍感興趣的當代社會問題)，考生應該平時注意這方面的知識積累和主動思考。
另外，還有的考生不但認識題目中的每個單詞，而且也熟悉話題，但依然寫跑題，那很有可能是因爲沒有抓住寫作重點。事實上，絕大多數考生寫跑題都是因爲這個因素。比如：There is an increasing number of juvenile delinquents. Analyze the possible causes of this phenomenon, and offer some recommendations. 許多考生都會注意到這道題考的是青少年犯罪話題，而且應該分析原因並提出解決辦法。但是，如果原因只寫了一段而建議寫了數段的話，那麼就是犯了忽略重點的錯誤。因爲，如果沒有把原因進行詳細分析而貿然提出建議的話，這種建議是缺乏依據的。正確的做法應該是原因寫二至三段，結果寫一段。其次，考生還應注意到這道題考的不是泛泛的青少年犯罪的原因與解決方法，而是爲什麼現在青少年犯罪人數越來越多的原因和建議。由此看來，考生應該仔細審題，防止產生理解上的偏差。
對於Evidence(論據)來說，關鍵要合理，並且能夠證明論點。比如Wild animals have no place in the 21st century and trying to protect these animals is a waste of resources. Do you agree or disagree? 有同學
這樣寫道：We can hardly imagine what our life will be like without wild animals. For example, if there is no cat, there will be more mice. The increase in the number of mice will result in the reduction of food resources and the spread of diseases. Thus, it is very important to protect animals. 這裏，貓的論據是不合適的，因爲貓不屬於wild animals(野生動物)。再比如，The university should not provide so much theoretical knowledge but give students more practical training. Do you agree or disagree? 有同學在論證這道題的時候舉了趙括“紙上談兵”的例子，說趙括就是典型的有很多兵法等理論知識，但是由於缺乏帶兵打仗的實際經驗，導致秦趙長平之戰中趙兵大敗，自己也命喪沙場，這充分說明了只有理論知識沒有實際經驗的惡果，所以應該重視實際經驗。但這個論據也是不得體的，因爲題目涉及的是大學應該怎麼做，而趙括明顯沒有上過大學。事實上，古代的例子通常不適宜在雅思作文中出現，即便出現了，許多情況下只是作爲反面例子與現今狀況形成對比。
好的Arguments(論證)應該是充分並且有力的。這就需要運用多種論證手法。常用的論證手法有：explanation(解釋說明)，emphasis(強調論證)，exemplification(舉例說明)，cause and effect(因果論證)，comparison and contrast(比較與對比)facts and statistics(事實和統計數據)，concession and refutation(讓步與反駁)，classification(分類)，definition(下定義)，analogy(比喻)等。論證手法的運用還應該和關聯詞結合起來。
Communicative Quality(交流質量)大體上與Task 1的Coherence and Cohesion相同，也涉及文章中代詞，關聯詞，同義反義詞等的運用。常用的關聯詞有：對比however, although, but, nevertheless;結果as a result, as a consequence, therefore, because of this, otherwise;附加in addition, additionally, and, as well as, furthermore, also, moreover;舉例for example, for instance, such as, including;強調in fact, indeed;時間after, following, before, until, during, between, while等。
議論文在Vocabulary and Sentence Structure方面與Task 1的要求相同。
