雅思作文是雅思考试中的重头，烤鸭们拿到雅思作文题目第一个想法是什么呢？头脑风暴？词句风暴？无论如何，在动笔之前心里一定要给出一个outline！安排一个大概的结构和思路，否则，很有可能写到一半就断线~也有可能写到最后发现跑题咯。

总而言之，写作之前还是好好为你的大作选几个好的ideas，并把它们组织起来~~下面就看看具体怎么操作吧！

Planning IELTS essays and finding ideas

This lesson looks at how planning better can help you write better essays. I focus in particular on “ideas” – something that catches many candidates out. The two key points are that the ideas you need to write an IELTS essay are fairly simple and it helps to make a difference between ideas, reasons and examples.

Problem 1 – not enough ideas 观点不够

This is one of most common reasons for candidates to go wrong in the writing paper. They see a question. Try to think of ideas. Come up empty and panic. You will find part of my solution to this below. For now, I will just say that you need very few ideas to write a good essay and those ideas can be simple ideas too. Don’t buy a book on ideas for essays, instead learn this tip:

Tip – you need only 2 ideas to write an essay and those ideas are often found in the question

Problem 2 – the ideas are confused 观点混淆

This is also a very common mistake. There are plenty of ideas to write an essay. The problem is that the reader/examiner does not know what the main ideas are.

Tip – make sure you have one main idea per paragraph. This should be clear from the first sentence of the paragraph

Problem 3 – too many ideas 观点太多

Yes, some people do have too many ideas. This is a trap for candidates aiming for a high score. In particular, if they are used to writing academic essays. IELTS is a 250 word essay marked on language. That means it is probably much shorter than you are used to and there are no marks for quality and quantity of ideas.

Tip – select only enough ideas to write a complete essay – that means one per paragraph

Finding ideas for essays 怎么确定观点呢？、

Step 1 – understand the difference between ideas, reasons and examples 区分观点、原因、例子的区别

When I ask my students in a class for “ideas”, they quite often stare at me in silence. When I ask them the question “why” or ask them to give me an example, they (normally!) have plenty to say. That should tell you there is a difference between ideas, reasons (why) and examples. The good news is ideas are not the problem in IELTS, what you need are reasons and examples. They are normally much easier to find.

A paragraph is one idea: supported with reasons and examples. You only need two ideas.
