雅思7分备考经验分享
备考两个月雅思7分经验分享
先介绍一下本人的英语水平：
现在大二，非英语专业，从初中开始英语考试成绩一直是班级平均分之下，在女生里倒数。高考英语<120，四级580+，六级560+，比起各路大牛，算是很差的了。暑假报了个强化班，也算是心理安慰。那时还没报名考试，所以上课期间自由散漫，根本不在状态，没有压力没有动力。
正式复习从二月底开学开始，大约八周复习时间，写作实际复习时间4周左右。当然白天要上课，逢周一周四晚上还有课。一天最多11节课，平均6-8节，唯一一天2节课，不过经常有乱七八糟的事充斥。。。大学就是这样。。。
【阅读】
简单地说，就是每天抽出时间，晚上也好，没课的空档也好，总之前5周基本上一周2-3套剑桥系列的真题，后3周一周4套(也就是一周一本书的速度)，当然到了第7周的时候我就把《7周轻松》和剑3-7全做完了，最后一周从网上下了剑8前两套做，一定要在考前多做，不能手生。
【听力】
听力我只有剑3-8的真题，那就反复做呗，反正网上有下pdf版的。听力保证一周至少4套，有空的时候一天一篇，尤其在最后2周里。
【口语】
跟外教交流。刚复习的时候没打算请外教，但是后来发现真的应付不了。因为平时要上学所以只有周末，而且因为资金问题所以外教很难找。最后我和我同学在沈阳中睿瑾成国际教育学的雅思口语强化一对二，每周练几个小时，纯英语环境，进步肯定是有的，比自己在寝室自言自语强多了。
【写作】
人总是很想偷懒的，阅读听力做起来比较省力，所以算是练了两个月。到了三月，想想以前从来没有练过写作，四六级考试写作都是裸考的，可是雅思要一千多大洋呢，不能白白浪费的，所以下定决心，开始复习写作。这个就像我们小学写作文积累素材一样的。平均一个礼拜要写2-3篇大作文，我觉得可以看着范文写，把积累到的词句用用，增加记忆。当然这个阶段也不能忘记之前复习的小作文，所以也要抽空写写小作文，找找感觉。因此，最后3周左右的时间，(如果每天时间紧张的话)必须保证每天写作文，无论大小，而且注意大作文为主，小作文当调剂用的。当然，如果每天有足够的时间的话，建议大小作文每天各一篇，还可以反复写，多写总是有好处的。
最后一周，练练生僻的流程图和地图题，以及大作文里的report型文章(或叫PRR)，来不及写全文的话看题目写开头结尾加提纲。考前必须保证每个题型、每个主题的文章都练过一遍，一些常考的如教育类的要多写几篇。
总结
充分利用手上的资源!每天必须花一个小时以上的时间专心地复习英语!
最后祝各位烤鸭都能取得理想的成绩!
第二篇：雅思7分考生心得体会
雅思7分考生心得体会:复习雅思要分三个阶段

个人雅思经验分享(7分)
看来，11月的烤鸭真的很少，19号的雅思成绩今天出来了。总分7 (听力 8 ，阅读7.5 作文 6 口语7)感谢无忧雅思网上那么多烤鸭们无私的帮助和奉献，受益良多。现在把我在复习雅思过程中经验和一点小技巧与大家分享，也希望能对还没考试的考友有所帮助。
我是从10月初正式考试复习。没有报班，因为两年前在新东方学过，但我后期报了考前预测班，感觉很有收获，不是说押对了多少题，而是各科老师基本把主要知识点和做题方法梳理了一遍，很有全局感。
我复习雅思主要分三个阶段：
第一阶段主要是听力分项和阅读分项练习阶段，因为太长时间没有接触到听力，所以捡起来很困难。我主要做了倪慧洁的雅思高分听力，非常好，难度介于考试与稍高之间。每篇听力我都听三遍，第一遍按考试走，第二遍默听，主要是听错的和没太听清楚的，第三遍，对照原文，听前两遍都没听出来的，关键的是听发音比较奇怪的，好比澳洲英语。这本书此类内容不少。一般听一个整篇要用一上午，后来就没有时间再这么听了，但确实非常管用。一开始听时 14 ，40 都挺不准，一套题
一般也就28，9个，当时都没信心了。接着做剑桥就一下子对31，2个再也没怎么下去过，好的时候35，6也有。阅读我用的是阅读真经，文章不错，但题目完全不敢恭维。和雅思考试出题思路完全不一样，尤其是TFNG 题。我都很后悔当初花那么多时间去改错，如果我身边再有朋友考试，我一定不让他做。
第二阶段我就开始套题了。我主要就做了剑桥234(留了4的 第二篇最后一周作，据说这是剑4最难的一套)中间还做过两套聚焦雅思，不过我总觉得和剑桥出题感觉不同，加上我错的也比剑桥多，我就放弃不做了。可能我个人太注意感觉了吧，我觉得培养一个做题的流畅的感觉很重要，我一开始做 剑2 阅读还做过25，6个的时候，还有点钻牛角尖，总觉得自己错的有道理。后来经高人指点，注意从答案思考问题，后来就一直保持在31个以上。考试的时候做的模模糊糊的，结果成绩也还好。因为实在没有自己觉得感觉对的其他题，我也就没题可作，我花大量时间分析错题，一般一套阅读题也要一个下午，还要点出哪些是不应该错的反而错了，也要做标记。我觉得非常收益。大家不妨试试，磨刀不误砍柴工嘛。这段时间的错误在于作文练得太少，我本来作文就是最弱的一环，在加上平日自己模考试没有思路就不愿写，很纵容自己。结果成绩不高，大家还是多练得好，而且最好按考试时间走，写完了可以再精改的。
第三阶段就是考前一周，主要是投机的一周，我11月11，12两天参加了一个预测班，感觉不错，虽然没怎么预测上，但是将做题方法穿了一遍，挺有全局感。我花了大力气背机经，也是三遍，一开始看到这么多页头都大了，第一遍看着答案背，尽量感觉自己在看故事，第二遍就捂住答案默写，第三遍就默写预测的重点。
尤其注意不会的单词，我自己还整理了一份机井的自己不会的单词。(说句题外话，因为考试有幸考到了我背得题，一下子有点兴奋，结果听漏了一个空，考出来后悔死了，大家注意阿)另外我还是每天听一段听力，应为如果考到测试版，纯背就死定了。作文模版句我是在chinadaily 的专栏作家文章中找的，根据经济体育分了类，这是自己的模版，所以不用担心跟别人重。我还记得一句我标了个万能的，我考试的时候就用的这个：there is a sign hanging above the gate of(theme og the writing),It simpliy messages that ..... 挺好的，大家有时间可以找一下，另外，我在考试中特别注意没写 the first and most important reason is
that,,,,furthermore 之类的关联词，写的时候感觉特好，结果倒不是很理想，不知道考官会不会觉得我没有清晰的条理性。
还有几个我在作题中的发现的小小技巧，可能有的大家也早知道了，不敢保证完全对，但目前为止我用的还可以。一个是matching题中如果出现 you may use one word more than once ，那肯定有两个小题选同一个答案，考试中一定要审好题，节省时间，也不用怕因为选了两个一样的答案就觉得自己错了，就是这样，我考试中就遇到了，另一点就是当判断题中出现不认识的单词时，实在没办法就写F，以前报班是老师好像说改写T的，但我分析了剑桥的三本题，都是F。第三点是判断题，关于 not necessarily 是绝对否定，我知道语法上说不同，但我分别在不同的两种题中看到它代表这种含义。举个例子，忘了是剑桥2，3有一篇关于Role的题 文章中是 is it bad.... ? Not necessarily 题目是 it is good... 答案就是T,这道题我找了很长时间也没找到准确的位置，后来又做到一篇，才判断了我的想法。
大家在应急的时候可试试我的方法。
对于口语我上面都没怎么说，单独说一下，我比较点背，考试的口语题目就是老师在在预测班中直接删请除的题目(child，说是前一阵刚刚考过)，以至于我一拿到卡片都有点呆了。所以强烈提醒各位考友，口语可以有重点，但一定不能有漏点。GZ也叫中国人训练出来了。我是当天考试下午第一个考得，当时特别担心会因为先考分低，但结果好像不是这样，所以也请以后第一个考得的朋友不用担心。还是很公正的。我的口语没有准备太多，但我很幸运有一套topic卡片，那时我珍贵的礼物。个人认为，口语考试最重要的是态度要真诚，我进屋后就特别注意和考官保持眼神的交流，努力营造一种聊天的环境，这样你自己也不会太紧张。要做到真诚的谈话，就要求你说出自己的心里话，因此在准备topic时尽量准备自己的话。不用追求冠冕堂皇，句子复杂，我就好象没那么多复杂句。不过我占优的一点是我发音还行，在面试中，我也有停顿想问题还有没回答好问题时习惯性的伸舌头的动作，好像都没影响给分。所以太流利的会让人以为是准备了，尤其提醒大家注意的一点是：在card的准备时间中，一定拜托各位无论是练的多熟得topic，也要装模作样的写一下，不准备太假了吧
这些差不多就是我认为在复习和考试中比较重要的内容了吧。希望对大家能有帮助。在我考前看大家考试回忆帖子的时候，就想如果我考的还行，就一定也要为以后考试的考友做点什么。在我复习的过程中，有个人一直在我身边帮助我，给我鼓励，听我抱怨，为我答疑。每当看到他在我旁边思考问题的样子，我都会觉得踏
实心安，那就是我的支柱。从复习时，我就希望我的成绩会让他满意，高兴。如果没有他的帮助，不知我还能不能做到这样。说远了，真诚的希望所有还没有考试的烤鸭们都能完美的收官。

第四篇：雅思7分作文
1.The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive. What are your opinions on this? The Internet has brought significant changes to our lives in recent years. Yet, there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that the benefits of the Internet far outweigh its drawbacks. These benefits are twofold. First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. Despite the risk of social isolation—a problem occasionally seen in people who spend too much time at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world--- most of us have benefited greatly from e-mail and internet chat programs like MSN Messenger. These incredibly useful and powerful tools of communication facilitate both contact with loved ones in faraway places and global trade. Equally importantly, though, the Internet has placed the entire world (and all of the information in it) at our fingertips. In earlier times, conducting research entailed long hours searching library shelves. Now, however, the same information can be accessed at the click of a button. Admittedly, not all of the information available on the Internet is reliable or helpful---there is a vast amount of material online that some would consider offensive or dangerous, ranging from pornography to instructions on how to make bombs. Nonetheless, I would contend that this free flow of information has generally been a very positive development.
By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that the Internet has had a positive impact on modern life because of its influence on communication and the flow of information.
2.Fast food is now universally available in most countries and is becoming increasingly popular. Some feel that this is a positive trend, while others do not. What are your opinions on this?
The past 50 years have seen a dramatic increase in the availability of fast food. Some laud its convenience and relatively low cost; however, in this essay I intend to argue that this kind of food is detrimental both to the individuals that consume it and to society at large. There are two primary reasons for this.
First of that, it is an undeniable fact that consuming fast food to excess results in serious health problems. Foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers and chips---which are incredibly high in fat and salt---are responsible for such ailments as high blood pressure, obesity and heart disease. Moreover, although I certainly agree that fast food is both affordable and convenient, the cost and inconvenience of treating the illnesses it causes in later life are significant. In order words, while fast food is beneficial in the short term, its long-term effects are generally negative. Further and even more importantly, though, some fast food chains deliberately attempt to attract children in order to shape their future eating habits. One particularly good example of this is the character Ronald McDonald---the bright clothes and smile of the McDonald clown are a beacon to children. Having grown up eating in McDonald restaurants, people are likely to continue eating there throughout their adult lives. It is also interesting to note that McDonald provides playgrounds and frequently holds children’s birthday parties in order to attract young children and their parents. By way of conclusion, I believe that fast food will continue to become more popular as the pace of life increases. Given the health risks associated with this trend, I believe that public education campaigns warning people about the dangers of fast food would be warranted. 3.International tourism is now more common than ever before. Some feel that this is a position trend, while others do not. What are your opinions on this?
The past 50 years have seen a considerable increase in global tourism. Despite the undeniable economic prosperity it has brought to many host countries, I would argue that the overall impact of international holidaymaking has in fact been negative. Two of the primary drawbacks associated with this trend are as follows. First of all, global tourism tends to export many negative aspects of western culture. Since it is only the wealthy who can afford to travel abroad, developing countries like Thailand and Indonesia have become the playgrounds of tourists from more affluent ones. In many such nations, this influx of mainly western tourists has brought with it problems such as prostitution as well as alcoholism and drug abuse. Admittedly, international tourism does have the potential to foster greater understanding and tolerance between people of different cultures. However, this is unlikely to occur while it remains such a potent symbol of western cultural domination and moral decadence. Even more disturbing, though, is the environmental degradation that international tourism has caused in many parts of the world. One particularly salient example of this is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia --- the countless boats, divers and snorkelers that have visited the reef over the past few decades have gradually destroyed vast sections of coral. Similarly, world renowned Kuta Beach in Bali has become heavily polluted in recent years. In order to be sustainable, greater regulation of global tourism is required. In conclusion, the challenges presented by the booming international tourist industry are numerous and complex. Although they are by no means insurmountable, it is highly unlikely that they will be resolved in the foreseeable future.
4. Nowadays, more people are migrating to other countries than ever before. In order to become integrated into society in their adopted countries, immigrants should abandon their old ways and adapt to local customs and codes of behavior. Do you agree or disagree?
These days, it seems that more people are migrating to other countries than ever before. This raises certain questions about the integration of newcomers into society. Although there are valid arguments to the contrary, in this paper I will argue that it is the responsibility of immigrants to adapt to accepted rules of behavior in their adopted country, both written and unwritten. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, it is vitally important that newcomers observe the laws of their adopted country for the sake of social order. Imagine the chaos that would ensure if people refused to drive on the same side of the road. It is, therefore, necessary for all immigrants to ensure that they observe the law in their new country regardless of any differences to laws in their home country. Two further instances of practices which are permitted in some countries but prohibited in orders are the possession of firearms and gambling. Secondly and more importantly, though, in order to maintain societal cohesion it is essential that newcomers respect the social norms of their adopted country. Of course, having a mixture of different cultures and traditions gives a country colour and vibrancy; however, I would contend that too much cultural diversity undermines a society by alienating people from each other. It is my belief that similarities unite people, whereas differences have a tendency to divide. A strong society is a homogenous society with shared values and goals. By way of conclusion, I believe that this issue is likely to become even more important in the future as borders between countries become increasingly blurred. It, therefore, demands our further consideration. 5. Men and women are difficult in terms of their characteristics and abilities. For this reason, some jobs are better done by men and others by women. Do you agree or disagree?
These days, it seems that more women are entering “male occupations” than ever before and vice versa. While some still hold to the conservative view that certain jobs are better performed by men and others by women, it is my personal belief that people of either sex are capable of doing any job effectively. The reasons for my position are as follows. First of all, I believe it is a mistake to base our views on broad generalizations about the characteristics of men and women as such stereotypes are often inaccurate. Although there are certainly traits which are typical of men and others which are typical of women, there are exceptions to every rule. Not all women are physically weak, just as not all men are poor interpersonal communicators; conventional gender roles are not appropriate for everybody. If a man or woman desires to pursue a career which is traditionally reserved for the opposite sex, I believe he/she should be provided the opportunity to prove him/herself capable. Secondly, I would contend that the presence of both males and females in a workplace brings a sense of balance. Men and women frequently, though by no means always, have different methods of doing things. Rather than judging these differences to be weaknesses, I feel that we should view them as opportunities for innovation and the discovery of more effective and efficient work practices. A person’s weaknesses can thus be transformed into strengths. In summary, I once again reaffirm my position that both male and female employees are an asset to any industry and as our stereotypes about men and women are not always appropriate, we must not discourage anyone from choosing an occupation simply because of his/her gender. 6. Smoking is a major cause of serious illness and death throughout the world today. In the interest of public health, governments should ban cigarettes and other tobacco products. Do you agree or disagree? There are widely differing views on the issue of whether tobacco should be banned or not. Some people would suggest that it is their right to smoke and that prohibiting cigarettes would be a violation of their civil liberties; however, I personally believe that tobacco should indeed be made illegal. There are two principal reasons for this. One point which I believe to be absolutely pivotal is the fact that tobacco is a drug. The majority of governments around the world take a prohibitionist approach to the problem of substance abuse. If governments wish to be consistent in pursuing their “war on drugs”, therefore, I believe they must ban tobacco as well. This is particularly heroin and marijuana---have legitimate medical applications, while tobacco has none. However, perhaps the strongest argument in favor of banning cigarettes and other tobacco products is that of public health. It is an irrefutable fact that smoking leads to lung cancer and other such potentially fatal diseases. Pro-smoking groups would no doubt argue that each individual has the right to determine what goes into his/her own body. Nevertheless, I would suggest that the interests and rights of society at large must override those of the individual. The medical treatment that smokers require is often incredibly costly, and it is frequently governments and society that cover these costs rather than the individual smoker. Hence, I feel that laws prohibiting smoking would be entirely justified. In reality, of course, the widespread prohibition of smoking is unlikely in the near future. However, given the seriousness of the problems that it causes, I believe that this should be the ultimate goal. 7. Trying to save endangered animal species from extinction is a waste of valuable resources. Do you agree or disagree? The issue of whether we should attempt to save endangered species from extinction or not is certainly a contentious one. Despite the arguments of some people that such animals serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die out just as many others (including the dinosaurs) have in the past, it is my personal belief that they should in fact be preserved. Two of the principal reasons for this are as follows. Firstly, it is vital that we appreciate the importance of endangered species in maintaining the balance of nature. Ecosystems are delicate arrangements where plants and animals all depend on each other for survival. The disappearance or introduction of any animal species disrupts the balance and negatively impacts upon other plants and animals by breaking the food chain and altering the habitat in which they live. Such imbalances frequently return to haunt us in unexpected ways. Just as rabbits that were introduced to Australia soon after European settlement now compete with native species for food and destroy farmers’ crops, the extinction of a predator can cause plagues by allowing its prey to multiply unchecked. Therefore, since ecological change constitutes a potential risk to us and our environment, it is clearly I our own interests to protect endangered species. Yet, perhaps the strongest argument in favor of preserving endangered species is that all life has intrinsic value; even if endangered species are not useful to us in any practical way they should be preserved nevertheless. Further, given that we humans are responsible for destroying the natural habitat of many endangered animals, we should make every possible effort to save them.
In conclusion, I once again restate my view that saving endangered species is worthwhile. Not only do they help to maintain the balance of nature, but they also have value in and of themselves.
8. With divorce rates and family breakdowns increasing globally, it is generally accepted that families today are not as close as they used to be. Discuss the causes of this problem and offer some possible solutions to it. Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago. Now, however, almost half of all marriages fail. This phenomenon is symptomatic of the growing distance between family members in modern society. In this essay, I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possible solutions to it.
Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle. Today’s parents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support their families. Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while the other---typically the mother----acted as the homemaker. Recently, though, double income families have become the norm. Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment. Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment. In order to resolve this sense of alienation within families, I believe we must first address its root causes. Perhaps the most effective method of doing this would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents who choose to remain at home and take care of their families. Admittedly, such incentives would probably not full compensate couples for lost income; however, they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and provide an alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to do so because of financial constraints. One further measure would be to promote more interactive leisure activities in the community through public education campaigns.
In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that to no solution is likely in the short term. However, I believe that the measures outlined above would constitute a good first step.

环球雅思网校：http://net.thea.cn/xys/kc/雅思一对一咨询qq：1613508081
对中国考生来讲，应该切记：雅思作文是写作，不是搞中翻英!
首先，Task 1(图表描述或流程图，又称小作文)评分标准为“TF”：Task Fulfillment(任务完成情况)占总分9分的40%，要求考生在20分钟内完成至少150个字的作文，在这基础上，考生还应当在规定的时间和字数内，向读者(即考官)清晰地阐述何事，何人，何时，何地，图表的总体趋势(是升?降?持平?还是波动以及幅度等相关信息)要以数据的形式逐步加以展开，不能带有个人的主观观点，布局清晰，思路清晰，详略搭配清晰，结论清晰，这是TF的基本条件。
其次，CC：Coherence & Cohesion(即逻辑连贯性)占35%，所谓逻辑连贯性，就是要求考生对所观察到信息用一定的数据加以拓展。例如：当考生写到无锡2005年的公交线路比十年前多了。那么，这个“多”字从哪来?考生应迅速把充分把论据或例子补上，可以这么写“2005年无锡的公交线路是105条，而10年前仅有20 条，为10年前的5倍多”，这是令人信服的，反之就是捕风捉影。
再次，VSS：Vocabulary & Sentence Structure(即：用词和句子结构)约占卷面的20%，这对一个英文基础功扎实的考生来讲并不难，可难的是怎样精确地选词、用词。应尽量避免使用已用过的词，例如：The chart shows„(该图描述了„)，如在下段再出现则应该变换一下主语和谓语，以显得鲜活，如：The table also illustrates„(该图描述了„)意思未变，只是在遣词上稍稍花了点功夫，这就是一篇6分以上小作文。
就Task 2(即：议论文，又称大作文)而言，CQ:Communication Quality(交谈、质量)约占30%。主要是检验考生能否把所想表达的通过英语交流，考官能否看懂?而此篇的重头戏是在AIE上面。 Arguments, idaas & Evidences(即：论点、思路、论据，也就是我们常讲的逻辑思维是否合理)。它在卷面9分中占了40%的比例。可见条理清晰与否、论点论据配套与否就显得尤为重要。与Task 1一样的是，第三个评分仍是VSS(即：用词和句子结构)，约占20%左右。
只要考生们认真审题，精心布局，条理清晰，篇末点题就一定能拿下7分作文。
