今天听一班上的学生说,他最近在华师大考试,写作时监考的两个中国人要求考生必须按照空格式的格式去写作,就是每段先空一个单词的位置,然后段与段之间不能空行,此考生非常惊讶,因为雅思考试一贯有两种格式,即齐头式和空格式。分别见下文


齐头式:

Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality continuously, students are encouraged to make comments or even criticism on teachers. Others think the respect and discipline in the classroom will disappear. Which opinion do you prefer?

There is dispute over whether or not students are encouraged to make comments or even criticism on teachers. Some people maintain that it is a good way to improve educational quality, whereas others are confident that if students do it, the respect and discipline in the classroom will disappear. Every man will hesitate but if asked to make a choice between the two. I would not hesitate to choose the former over the latter.

There are some major causes for it. In the first instance, the improvement of students is the final goal of education. Only by giving comment on teachers’ performance can let teachers know the process of students’ development clearly. Furthermore, the criticism is the stimulus to teachers’ self-perfection and improvement in educational quality. Last but not least, the criticism itself is a kind of feedback and communication between teachers and students, lack of which will affect the educational outcome afterwards.

Although each nutshell has concave and convex sides, weighing the pros and cons of the argument, I’m inclined to agree with the former point of view although it has posed a tremendous challenge to teachers and thus the entire educational system.

If the students have courage to make comments on their teachers, they will have more confidence to conquer the difficulties in the future. As a Chinese proverb says,the waves behind drive on those behind, so the new excels the old.Teachers will find their own disadvantage in the teaching to  again and again.

由于其他考区没有这种规定,而且如果雅思有任何新的变化,British Council一定会有所公告,现在也没有此类公告,鉴于是中国监考人员的“友善”忠告,小新在这里向最近考试过的朋友们请教:有没有此类规定?考过的人一定得说啊

小新老师,531的雅思成绩出来,作文竟然只有5.5(我觉得小作文写的还比较好的),以前我随便写的还是6分,我马上又得考了,真的不知道到底致命问题出在哪里,请你,抽空一定帮我看看好吗?你的评价我真的急需,真的万分万分感激!
531题目:Some people argue that the fittest and strongest individuals and teams can achieve the greatest success in sports. But other people think the success is much related to the mental attitude. Discuss both and give your opinion.
我回忆的全文:(基本和考场写的一样)
It is certainly true that the sports success has been driven by strong bodies and many exercises, just like many people believe. However, others argue that the mental health, such as faith and attitude, are the most important factor during the competitions. For my part, these two factors should be combined together when the athletes pursue their goals and it is really hard to say that only one of them can completely help a person achieves the success during a competition.

It is now accepted that fitness and exercises play the important roles in sports competitions. More and more sportsmen gain the achievements by testing and exercising quite a lot of times before performing. These kinds of physical advantages can be energizing when they pursue their dreams. However, although fitness can be the indisputable important factor and the dedication a person needs to be successful do make sense, they can not achieve their goals if the mental health is not well-being. Especially when the mental problem occurring in sports teams, such as football or basketball teams, the team workers cannot win the competition only if at least one of them has a bad mood,or cannot concentrate on the game and thus out of control, though the people in the team had been exercised more times than their counterparts and of course has the strong physical advantages.

On the other hand, considering the mental health to be the important factor is not the same as assuming ‘mental attitude is most useful regardless of other factors’. Mental health can be stimulating when athlete pursue themselves but he or she cannot be able to win if the person tests or exercises below the level of average or other athletes. In addition, the sportsman’s dream of being successful is only a dream if he or she refuses devoting time and energy to be fitness.

In conclusion, it is important to establish a balance between physical and mental advantages and athletes would better make sure these two are combined together during competitions.

这段写的基本偏题,而且写得太少,总体上你这篇文章没有讲得很直接,5.5分算正常

小新,急需你的帮助!
我是5月31号在杭州考的雅思,昨天分数出来了。
我脑子里一片空白,打击好大。
写作才5分,其余三门都是6.5分,所以总分才6分。
申请英国的硕士的话,起码总分要6.5分的!!
所以,我必须再考一次!!

现在的最重要的问题是:
为什么我的写作分数这么低?

那天考作文的时候,
大作文我按小新说的思路写的,
2,3,6号球的结合一起写,
政府,个人,physical, mental.
而且结尾一段我是按一直练习的那样用排比句写的。

小作文是考饼图,所以也用小新笔记里的短语,
先标2,1,3的方法,还有也用了lion's share之类的词。

可是为什么才5分啊?
我现在很迷茫!! 真的!!
难道考官早知道小新发明的这一些了??

雅思的写作到底应该怎么准备的?

还有,小新啊~~
你看我这么个分数的分布,可能是什么原因造成的呢?
下次的考试我应该怎么复习备考呢?
急待小新的回复!!!!!

听力和阅读都是6.5分 写作5分

老师,我昨天发了写的531的作文请你帮忙看(5.5分),按照你的指导,我重新写了一遍,麻烦老师再帮我看看好吗?如果太忙,给一个大概的评价和分数行吗。谢谢!

作文题目:
Some people argue that the fittest and strongest individuals and teams can achieve the greatest success in sports. But other people think the success is much related to the mental attitude. Discuss both and give your opinion。

作文:

Some people believe sports successes have been driven by strong bodies and a lot of exercises; others argue that the mental attitude, such as faith and winning mind, can create peak performances in competitions. In my opinion, excellent achievements in sports are determined by both physical and mental advantages but not one of them.

Physical factors play important parts in both individual and teams’ competitions. Successful sportsmen always have strong bodies, and those at the top are even tested every time before performing. It is common for athletes to be strongest if they want to be success. A player is very likely to win if he or she is much stronger or fitter than his or her counterparts, so the effects of physical advantages are profound especially when comparing strong players with those who have weak points in their bodies. However, if there is no big physical difference between two athletes, the man who has strong mental attitude tends to be success. Many competitions have been proved that result is largely determined by mental advantage in this case. If a person is incapable of responding positively to huge pressure and suffers bad mood, hardly the person can control the performance under such nervous atmosphere in competitions. These effects of mental attitude are even more seriously in sports teams, this is because a team worker’s thing can easily affect others’ senses of wellbeing, eventually leading to a bad score.

It is true that mental attitude can be stimulating when the athletes pursue their dreams.
Mental attitude is internal energy force in both individual and sports teams’ games, it not only help one athlete motivate himself, but also help players interact each other positively and effectively in a team. However, if all the players in a competition have strong faith and high spirits as well as excellent ability of concentrating, the result is largely due to their physical factors. After all, a player cannot achieve the goal if he or she has not so strong body, in this case, a wining mind does not make sense.

In conclusion, different competition has different situation, so the great success can only be achieved by the excellent combination of physical and mental advantages.

老师,这离6.5还差多远呢?

小新~~~~~~~~~我要去加拿大留学,参加了今年5月10号的雅思考试, 总分6.5. 虽然达到了学校的要求,但我听说很多人拿到要求的语言成绩,在国外上课时还是听不懂,日常生活中也有很多话在国内我们没有学过.
所以,我想问问你,有什么办法尽快搞定这些难题? 特别是上课听不懂的时候.

这个不是一天两天的事情,关键是学术问题,应该更多地在国内学一些基本术语再出去,否则确实听不懂。还有口音的问题,基本三个月才能适应
