When you are learning vocabulary, pay attention to what words commonly go together. 学生们在准备雅思考试的时候总会学习很多的词汇，雅思词汇对于我们提高对英文的理解是十分有重要的。然而有些时候，知道一个词语的含义和会使用它还是有一定区别的。在文章中学习一个单词会使得你在使用这个词时更加容易。当你学习词汇的时候，一定要注意的是什么样子的搭配会常常在一起。 我们来举几个例子： Verb + thought: Spare a thought for 想到，替着想 Spare a
8、 thought for all those who are homeless on a cold night like this. 想到那些在寒冷的夜晚中无家可归的人 Hear ones thought 聆听的想法 Have you given the new proposal any thought yet?

So your goal should be to be reasonably formal/academic. To do so, you should not use imprecise language like really, s
12、o, a lot, very, etc 在雅思写作中，你需要使用学术语言，你的目标是正式和学术，所以你不要使用较为口语化的really, so , a lot and very. 举一些例子 Examples: Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is very hard. = Use a stronger word: Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is difficult Very good = top-notch,

Knowing the sentence types means being able to avoid these cardinal sins of writing: 了解简单句和复杂句式的区别很重要，你不需要知道术语，但是你需要有能力自己完成一个句子的写作
18、。了解句子类型可以帮助你避免许多基本的写作错误 sentence fragment 句子片断，句子成分残缺 run-on sentences 粘连句 comma splices 逗号误接句 1. SENTENCE FRAGMENTS: 句子片断 This is the most common grammar error IELTS students make. A sentence fragment cannot be a sentence by itself. It does not even have one independent clause. Remember: a simple s
19、entence is an independent clause, which requires 3 things: 1. A subject 2. A verb 3. A complete thought 这是雅思考生经常犯的错误。残缺句子成分的句子片断是不可以单独成句的，因为他并不具备成为一个完整的独立分句的要素。记住，一个简单句就是一个合格的独立分句，它由3部分组成 主语，谓语，和一个完整的思路 Sometimes it seems to be a sentence, but if we examine it closely it lacks the necessary parts an

22、etc). We often speak in run-on sentences but our pauses indicate meaning; however, when we write we need to use punctuation to break up our sentences and impart proper meaning. Comma splices occur when two independent clauses are joined by a comma. Remember: a comma is not strong enough to join these clauses itself! You need a conjunctive coordinator to complement it, or else use a semi-colon and a conjunctive adverb. Most importantly, to do well in the IELTS writing you dont need to be a punctuation expert. Just knowing commas and periods is usually sufficient for a good grade. 粘连句包含着两个或
