1、審題不清

這個問題的出現除了因爲偶然看錯題目，抓錯關鍵詞之外，更主要的原因是理解上的問題。

例如，有這樣的一道題：“技術的範圍在不斷增加貧富差距。你在多大程度上同意這個說法?” “The range of technology is increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. To what extent do you agree?”.

有的學生寫成：現在每個人包括乞丐都有手機，所以，這個社會沒有貧富差距了;還有人寫成：技術就是差距，古代沒有技術很窮，現在技術很富;還有人寫成：現在人口增長了，窮人和富人的數量都增長了。

其實，這道題的題幹很簡單，一眼便能看出題目的意思。問題在於，有的同學審題馬虎，沒有仔細研讀、沒有深入思考就匆匆落筆。

其實，題目的本意是問你：是不是技術越發達，造成的貧富差距越大?或者說，是不是技術的覆蓋範圍越大，造成的貧富差距越大?通俗地講，是不是要把貧富差距怪罪到技術頭上?

理解正確以後，你可以用一兩句話說出你的觀點(確實如此/並非如此)，然後在主體段陳述你的理由，最後總結時強調一下你的觀點就可以了。

然而，不少同學由於英語基礎較差，題目上如有一兩個關鍵的單詞不認識，就會造成無法落筆或者導向性錯誤。

另外，有的同學雖然題目上每個單詞都認識，但由於題目本身是個複雜句子，在理解上有困難，於是胡猜一氣，匆匆落筆。這樣，結果可想而知。

比如像這樣一道含有五個從句的題目，雖然沒有生詞，但因爲它是一個比較複雜的句子，英語基礎差的同學看起來不一定能完全理解，這也是影響審題的一個障礙：

"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?"這道題問：“你同意還是不同意這樣的說法：比起富人家的孩子，窮人家的孩子將來長大後能更好的應對生活中的問題?”理解到這個程度，審題應該沒有問題了。

這樣看來，審題也是與英語基礎和理解能力相關的，所以，還是需要學習和訓練。

2、沒有思想

雅思寫作的話題覆蓋教育、生態環境、自然資源、動物保護、科技與發明、媒體與廣告、政府與城市化、社會與家庭、犯罪與法律、文化、語言、旅遊、全球化、職業發展與生活方式以及其他抽象的社會問題。

所以，我們說雅思寫作不僅考語言水平，而且還考語言所裹挾的思想。如果你對上述社會問題從來沒有思考過，甚至面對題目根本不知所云，你那蘊含什麼思想的答卷交給閱卷老師?你拿什麼成績交給報考學校?

談到思想，那是個大而深刻的話題。很多人非常健談，有很多說不完的話題;但若不經專門的知識訓練、話題訓練和閱讀訓練，是難以上升到理想的思想高度的。

遺憾的是，不少同學沒有靜心學習的習慣和耐力，整天想着走捷徑，天真的以爲會有一蹴而就的靈丹妙藥，稍稍點撥就會了。殊不知，思想方面的東西沒有一定的學習積累誰也代替不了你。

可以負責任的說，那種短期集訓速成、包含承諾達到某個分數的說法絕大多數都是陷阱、引君入甕，然後甕中捉鱉，掏幹你的口袋。最後的結果是，缺乏具有真知灼見和說服力的`思想，語言水平再高的文章，那等級自然也就降下去了。

3、思維混亂

邏輯訓練是一門要求較高、僅次於思想訓練的專業訓練。缺乏這方面訓練的同學勢必在寫作時前言不搭後語，給人思維混亂的感覺。

最簡便的訓練方式就是加強連詞和過渡詞的正確運用訓練。這聽起來似乎很簡單，但實際上牽涉到三類從句的運用以及句子與句子的邏輯關係的準確把握。不經過系統的學習，背幾個連詞及句型有可能在考試中“瞎貓遇見死老鼠”，碰巧被不明就裏的閱卷老師撞見而賞點分數，但作爲長效機制，最好把連詞、過渡詞及三大從句學好。接着就是怎樣井然有序又合乎邏輯地將你的思想一點一點地呈現給讀者了。

比如， 雅思題目說“女性領導人一定比男性領導人在領導國家或者世界方面更好。你在多大程度上同意還是不同意?”

假如你說“不一定”，那麼這就是你的思想觀點。但如果你說"Not necessarily"，這只是日常對話的口語說法，你得用“Women leaders are not necessarily better than men leaders in leading a country or the world."這樣的句子。接着你必須解釋原因、給出實例或引經據典，最後再繞回到你的觀點中來，但不能簡單地重複中心思想句或主題句。

比如有的學生這樣解釋就很好："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."

這種採取讓步，然後再出擊的手法就很有力量和見地，“雖然女性領導人更溫和、更有耐心，但遇到經濟及戰爭問題，她們仍然不能徹底解決”。

接着舉例，“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." 舉德國和韓國的例子，說德國的種族歧視問題和韓國面臨的南北韓問題並沒有因爲兩國的領導人是女性而有所解決。

最後用改寫主題句的方式強調一下你的觀點，"Therefore, it is groundless to say that women leaders are better at managing national or international affairs." “因此，說女性領導人在管理國家或國際事務方面勝於男性領導人是毫無根據的。”

這種條分縷析、層層推進的學術語言無論是英語語言還是翻譯成漢語，都不是那些思想貧瘠的大白話所能替代的。這都是一段時間潛心學習的結果。如果不經學習，任何人都不可能天生會有思想和合乎邏輯的思想表述。

4、句式錯誤

我見過寫作中各種類型的錯誤，有些如拼寫、單複數、時態、主謂一致等方面的低級錯誤，只要認真檢查，考生一般可以自己糾正。

但大多數“高級錯誤”，如長句子缺乏主句或謂語動詞等等，就比較隱蔽了。這種錯誤扣分極爲嚴重，而且考生一般不易發現，因爲這牽涉到句式結構問題。如沒有經過長難句的專門訓練，寫作中很容易寫出多個這類高級錯誤句，錯到最後直至影響意義表達，閱卷老師面對你的試卷如墜雲霧，根本就不知所云，你怎麼會拿到好分數呢?
