雅思写作的时间非常紧。如果你没有感觉，check this!

小作文的节奏：

20分钟完成1篇150字的文章，这里面还要cut掉用于看题，审题的3-5分钟，林林总总算下来就是每分钟输出10个单词。这是什么样的节奏呢？拿起笔就不要停！虽然雅思官方发给我们铅笔和橡皮擦，但是我建议少用，用多了就可能意味一件事：作文写不完（这种状况作文分时一般在4.5-5分）

大作文的节奏：

40分钟完成1篇250字的议论文。虽然相比小作文时间似乎宽松一些，但是对于论文中每句话的斟酌也必不可少，因为只有通过字斟句酌才有可能写出有说服力的文字。

1. “烂招”解救烤鸭于危难

在巨大的时间压力下，很可能你没有来得及写末段，请记住这个“烂招”：写下In conclusion, I personally believe that ……, 在省略号部分抄上原题的观点。比如最近有一道考题：Some people think that economic progress is the most important way to

measure a country's success. Other people think other factors are also

important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

在剩下最后一分钟时写下：In conclusion, personally, I believe that economic progress is not the most

important way to measure a country’s success, and other facts must be

taken into consideration.

这个末段给人一种强烈的“扣题”感，理由很明显，紧紧地扣住题目啦！

2. 高招体现缜密思维

“烂招”其实在某种程度上不赖。但是对于追求真正写作能力的同学，想要写出“圆满”的末段，那就要明白一个基本道理：有始才有终，善始才能善终！映射到雅思作文上，这句话的意思是：写好了首段和主体段，才能够写出“圆满”的末段。下面给各位烤鸭仔细分析一下末段与首段之间的关系，末段与主体段之间的关系。

首先需要给大家介绍一个词汇——回响，英文对应为echo，名词表示“回声”，动词表示“回响”。这个词是我们接下来讨论的关键。首先，我们必须区分“repeat”和“echo”。Echo表示意义一致，但是使用不同的说法让读者能够想起前面陈述过的内容，而低级repeat指的是copy，repeat指的是paraphrase。

圆满的末段做到“首尾呼应”

末段回响首段立场

(The concluding paragraph echoes the thesis statement in the  opening

paragraph)

大部分的考生都已经达到一种共识：在大作文的首段给出自己对话题的立场（take a clear position），这其实就是全文的主题思想thesis statement。文章剩余部分的使命就是论证主题思想的合理性，使用解释，举例，对比等方式论证。对于这个使命，末段的贡献在哪里呢？

末段不能再引入新的论据，而是通过总结性质再次提出自己的立场，告知读者使命已经完成。我们以C8T1的考官范文为例。

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be a good

member of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn

this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

考官在首段提出了自己的立场“Therefore, this can not be the responsibility of the parent alone”这个thesis经过主体段的辩证论证之后，作者在末段写上了“and it is the responsibility of every member of a sciety to take responsibility

for helping the younger generation to become active and able member of that

society.”

有的考生可能会讲这不就是“paraphrase the thesis in the opening paragraph”吗？笔者认为不是的。在写末段时切记“Do not, in any case, simply restate your thesis statement in your final

paragraph, as that would be redundant. Having read your essay, we should

understand this main thought with fresh and deeper understanding ”对比以上考官的两句话，我们就能够明白“deeper understanding”。“把孩子教程积极向上，有能力有理想的公民不是家长和老师可以互相推诿的责任，而是整个社会的不可推卸的责任”，这比首段的立场要深刻很多。

圆满的末段做到“余音绕梁”

末段回响主体段要点

(The concluding paragraph echoes the key arguments in the body paragraphs)

“余音绕梁”对于问题解决型的文章尤为重要。以C8T3的一篇考官范文为例：

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and

pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other

measures do you think might be effective?

本题有两问，考官在首段先回答了问“Solving this problem is likely to need more than a simple rise in the price

of petrol.” 这一立场在第二段中得到充分的论证，从而也有了回答第二个问题的基础——给出其他能够解决交通问题的方案。在文中，考官提出“develop cleaner fuels”和 “improve public transport”这两个方案。

末段不能再提出新的方案，“It is a good idea to recapitulate what you said in order to suggest to your

reader that you have accomplished what you set out to accomplish.”。 所以考官写道“I think the long term traffic and pollution reductions would depend on

educating the public to use public transport more, and on governments using

public money to construct and run efficient systems”考官在末段中做到了“首尾呼应”——“the reduction depend on …”照应了首段的“Solving this problem is likely to need more than a simple rise in the price

of petrol.”，“余音绕梁”——在此提及“public transport”和比较隐晦的提及“cleaner fuels”.

小结：

如果有充足的时间，末段理所当然有必要去写好。各位烤鸭有必要记住两个关键词“首尾呼应”和“余音绕梁”。
