Q：考了这么多次，我总是差了那宝贵的0.5啊，到底写作5.5 和6分的区别在哪里！ what's the difference between the band 5.5and 6?

　　（问题来自于一位雅思学习者）

　　A： 这...同学先冷静...其实很多中国考生的问题在于他们没有完整的回答写作任务2中的问题！还有什么呢？请看下去然后告诉我们你中了几个...

　　In China, the reason many candidates fail to reach band 6 is that they don’t answer the whole question in task 2, they have spelling or grammar errors that make reading the answers difficult or they are using language that is too simple. You can read on the band descriptors what you have to do to get a band 6 or higher for each of the bands. You can learn about the band descriptors here:

　　Q：都说要做到听说读写全面发展，可是我的口语和写作的发展速度总是跟不上阅读和听力啊，愁死我了都...老师你怎么看？would you tell me how toimprove my speaking and writing when my listening and reading is good enough?

　　（问题来自于一位德智体美全面发展的烤鸭）

　　A：你并不是孤单，这是大多数中国考生的通病.对于口语和写作这两大主观题部分，请练习做到 create your own English！

　　The most important thing is to be active. Many students try to improve speaking by listening more or by learning more words. The important thing though is to actually speak! Make yourself speak as much as you can and practice writing essays. The more you use English, the easier it will be to keep using it.

　　Q：老师求好的写作结构！还有各路辅导书中推荐的写作模板我该不该用啊？Are there any recommended structures for the writing? There are manyielts guide books and some of which give us some templates and structures.Could I use them when I write my essay?

　　（问题来自于一位有着渴求知识的眼神的烤鸭）

　　A：当然可以用，但是要做到妙用： Yes, you can use a general structure. However, try not to use a template that gives you long passages to remember. Many students use these templates and it is very obvious when they have been used – especially if the examiner has seen it 10 times already.

　　Use a structure that gives a logical way to answer the question. Don’t memorise whole sentences in a structure however, just words, phrases and the general structure itself.
