雅思大作文拿高分技巧
1、审题不清
这个问题的出现除了因为偶然看错题目，抓错关键词之外，更主要的原因是理解上的问题。
例如，有这样的一道题：“技术的范围在不断增加贫富差距。你在多大程度上同意这个说法?” “The range of technology is increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. To what extent do you agree?”.
有的学生写成：现在每个人包括乞丐都有手机，所以，这个社会没有贫富差距了;还有人写成：技术就是差距，古代没有技术很穷，现在技术很富;还有人写成：现在人口增长了，穷人和富人的数量都增长了。
其实，这道题的题干很简单，一眼便能看出题目的意思。问题在于，有的同学审题马虎，没有仔细研读、没有深入思考就匆匆落笔。
其实，题目的本意是问你：是不是技术越发达，造成的贫富差距越大?或者说，是不是技术的覆盖范围越大，造成的贫富差距越大?通俗地讲，是不是要把贫富差距怪罪到技术头上?
理解正确以后，你可以用一两句话说出你的观点(确实如此/并非如此)，然后在主体段陈述你的理由，最后总结时强调一下你的观点就可以了。
然而，不少同学由于英语基础较差，题目上如有一两个关键的单词不认识，就会造成无法落笔或者导向性错误。
另外，有的同学虽然题目上每个单词都认识，但由于题目本身是个复杂句子，在理解上有困难，于是胡猜一气，匆匆落笔。这样，结果可想而知。
比如像这样一道含有五个从句的题目，虽然没有生词，但因为它是一个比较复杂的句子，英语基础差的同学看起来不一定能完全理解，这也是影响审题的一个障碍：
"Do you agree or disagree with the statement that children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents?"这道题问：“你同意还是不同意这样的说法：比起富人家的孩子，穷人家的孩子将来长大后能更好的应对生活中的问题?”理解到这个程度，审题应该没有问题了。
这样看来，审题也是与英语基础和理解能力相关的，所以，还是需要学习和训练。
2、没有思想
雅思写作的话题覆盖教育、生态环境、自然资源、动物保护、科技与发明、媒体与广告、政府与城市化、社会与家庭、犯罪与法律、文化、语言、旅游、全球化、职业发展与生活方式以及其他抽象的社会问题。
所以，我们说雅思写作不仅考语言水平，而且还考语言所裹挟的思想。如果你对上述社会问题从来没有思考过，甚至面对题目根本不知所云，你那蕴含什么思想的答卷交给阅卷老师?你拿什么成绩交给报考学校?
谈到思想，那是个大而深刻的话题。很多人非常健谈，有很多说不完的话题;但若不经专门的知识训练、话题训练和阅读训练，是难以上升到理想的思想高度的'。
遗憾的是，不少同学没有静心学习的习惯和耐力，整天想着走捷径，天真的以为会有一蹴而就的灵丹妙药，稍稍点拨就会了。殊不知，思想方面的东西没有一定的学习积累谁也代替不了你。
可以负责任的说，那种短期集训速成、包含承诺达到某个分数的说法绝大多数都是陷阱、引君入瓮，然后瓮中捉鳖，掏干你的口袋。最后的结果是，缺乏具有真知灼见和说服力的思想，语言水平再高的文章，那等级自然也就降下去了。
3、思维混乱
逻辑训练是一门要求较高、仅次于思想训练的专业训练。缺乏这方面训练的同学势必在写作时前言不搭后语，给人思维混乱的感觉。
最简便的训练方式就是加强连词和过渡词的正确运用训练。这听起来似乎很简单，但实际上牵涉到三类从句的运用以及句子与句子的逻辑关系的准确把握。不经过系统的学习，背几个连词及句型有可能在考试中“瞎猫遇见死老鼠”，碰巧被不明就里的阅卷老师撞见而赏点分数，但作为长效机制，最好把连词、过渡词及三大从句学好。接着就是怎样井然有序又合乎逻辑地将你的思想一点一点地呈现给读者了。
比如， 雅思题目说“女性领导人一定比男性领导人在领导国家或者世界方面更好。你在多大程度上同意还是不同意?”
假如你说“不一定”，那么这就是你的思想观点。但如果你说"Not necessarily"，这只是日常对话的口语说法，你得用“Women leaders are not necessarily better than men leaders in leading a country or the world."这样的句子。接着你必须解释原因、给出实例或引经据典，最后再绕回到你的观点中来，但不能简单地重复中心思想句或主题句。
比如有的学生这样解释就很好："Although women are more gentle and less aggressive, they still cannot stop the occurrence of such problems as economic difficulties or world wars. Some people may say that women are more patient, considerate and understanding. However, as we can see, there are some countries which have women presidents and still problems have not been solved."
这种采取让步，然后再出击的手法就很有力量和见地，“虽然女性领导人更温和、更有耐心，但遇到经济及战争问题，她们仍然不能彻底解决”。
接着举例，“Germany and South Korea are the two examples in point. The two women leaders have better communication skills than men. Nonetheless, Germany still has problems about racism and South Korea is on the edge of battle with North Korea." 举德国和韩国的例子，说德国的种族歧视问题和韩国面临的南北韩问题并没有因为两国的领导人是女性而有所解决。
最后用改写主题句的方式强调一下你的观点，"Therefore, it is groundless to say that women leaders are better at managing national or international affairs." “因此，说女性领导人在管理国家或国际事务方面胜于男性领导人是毫无根据的。”
这种条分缕析、层层推进的学术语言无论是英语语言还是翻译成汉语，都不是那些思想贫瘠的大白话所能替代的。这都是一段时间潜心学习的结果。如果不经学习，任何人都不可能天生会有思想和合乎逻辑的思想表述。
4、句式错误
我见过写作中各种类型的错误，有些如拼写、单复数、时态、主谓一致等方面的低级错误，只要认真检查，考生一般可以自己纠正。
但大多数“高级错误”，如长句子缺乏主句或谓语动词等等，就比较隐蔽了。这种错误扣分极为严重，而且考生一般不易发现，因为这牵涉到句式结构问题。如没有经过长难句的专门训练，写作中很容易写出多个这类高级错误句，错到最后直至影响意义表达，阅卷老师面对你的试卷如坠云雾，根本就不知所云，你怎么会拿到好分数呢?
