一直以来，别说英语作文拿高分难，即使是中文作文想拿个漂亮的分数也不是那么容易的事情。所以咱就别自我要求那么高，拿不到满分，咱就拿个自己满意的分数吧！相信这个要求应该不会是那么遥不可及。方法得当、肯下工夫，老天肯定会眷顾勤劳人的！

        1.必须研究范文，尤其是5分和6分的范文，他们真的非常重要，因为那是最权威的辅导资料！不是简单的熟读和背诵，而是逐字逐句的体会作者的意思及修辞。还有提醒一点，ETS对范文的评论也都非常精彩，建议大家参考！这会非常有利于理解考试所考的重点。

　　2.必须要熟练，重要的是形成惯性思维，考试时间真的是太紧张了，要想现场思考每句话的调理性真的是太难了，反正我没做到，写得时候手指不停的运转，远ang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Franklin Roosevelt， Lincoln， Gerhard Shroeder， Gandhi……； 提到ART，就该想到Rembrandt， Van Gogh， Starry night， night watch， Henmingway， the old man and the sea……； 提到Scandal，就该想到Nixon，watergate，bill clinton，sex sandal，Enran……总之，熟练是非常非常重要的！

　　3.必须多修改，如果不勤修改自己的文章，就不知道自己原来的漏洞和不足在哪，闷头写，只能导致lose the stake！ 当认真学习一段时间写作之后，再回头改第一篇习作，肯定会发现自己很多毛病，这说明： 我们在进步！

　　4.必须学习别人的文章，不管是老外280，还是版主们组织的同主题习作，都是非常宝贵的学习，参考资料，看到别人的文章和写作思路，是提高自己水平的有效途径！建议大家看看版主们原来写的习作和互拍，真的会受益匪浅！例如：imong，needle，pooh，鬼谷子等牛人的，不一一列举了。

　　5.必须多思考，多写不如多改，多改不如多想，当然这种想不是fantasy and daydream.二是针对写作思路和自我总结，N-US style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

　　6.必须看arg的全部题库，不要抱侥幸心理，我觉得在考试之前找到文章中出现的逻辑错误，远比在30min中为它而浪费时间值得的多。我就吃了这个亏！

　　7.必须多交流，无疑，听听大家的意见，有益无害。

        8.必须要有自己的例子，这个，没有哪个考官会喜欢几百号人都说Van Gogh，Einstein ，Curie吧

附：雅思高分作文欣赏

Animals were friends or foes of humanity at different stages of the human history. In modern times, experiments upon animals have been a breeding ground for spirited debate. Some animal rights activists argue that we should ban animal experiments altogether because subjecting animals to experimentation is unwarranted on moral grounds, whereas some other people contend that the advancement of science necessitates animal testing. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view.

Granted, mounting empirical evidence suggests that many animal experiments are performed callously without any heed to the discomfort or pain that laboratory mammals endure. For one thing, improper confinement of test animals such as locking them up in cramped cages is inhumane; and this, in turn, can severely disrupt natural biological functions of the test animal. For another, the effects of vaccination or vivisection conducted on live mammals can be chilling. In extreme cases, they constitute sheer torture of animals.

Nevertheless, from a more pragmatic standpoint, evidence abounds that animal subjects are still an indispensable part of scientific research at this phase of human development. In the first place, drug experimentation on live mammals is, indisputably, far more effectual than experimentation on bacteria or on other lower species in determining drug safety. Medical history informs that drugs that can potentially exert grave side effects on homo sapiens must be tested by pharmaceutical companies on live mammals first to ascertain their toxicity. In the second place, in the realm of space research, live animals are still practical alternatives on a flight not considered to be sufficiently safe for human astronauts. And I would be hard-pressed to imagine the scenario that human lives should be put at stake when the objective of a space mission is merely to identify living creatures’ reaction to outer space experience. Lastly, lab research about the behavioral tendencies of chimpanzees, gorillas or other members of the primate group is also a worthy endeavor, in light of the fact that it generates outcomes consistently advancing anthropological and genetic sciences.

To conclude, I concede that experiments upon animals may induce suffering to the test animals. However, it is generally arguable that there are no practical alternatives to this methodology at the current stage of scientific development. On balance , I am convinced that what we should do is to allow animals testing to be continued but at the same time use techniques such as analgesic, anesthetic and tranquilizing drugs to minimize the pain of the test animal.（编辑：末末）
