第一 ，大家在生活中遇见问题时，一定要多想原因，想因果关系。

比如我们看到一个新闻，大家现在生孩子越来越晚，我们很多人就觉得，这有什么要想的，大家都这样那就肯定有理由啊，大家习惯于接受观点，却自己不动脑筋想一想事情的前因后果等，时间长了，大家的思维就僵硬了，我们拿到题目问为什么青少年犯罪率越来越高，毕业后找工作和继续读书的好处坏处分析，很多人就傻脸了，为什么，为什么，在考场上没有观点可输出，更没有理由输出。

其实很多题目尤其是社会类工作类题目跟我们的生活都息息相关，比如

Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists, not local people. Why? What can be done to attract local people?

这个题目如果大家在考场上现想，未必能想出来，大家一定要相信三个臭皮匠还顶一个诸葛亮，大家这时大可以化身为小记者，拿着本跟周围的同学甚至是不考雅思讨论，询问，这样不就解决了自己的思路有限的问题吗，问问身边的开封人为什么不去包公祠，问问身边的郑州人为什么不去二七塔观光，我相信大家一定收获不小。

再比如这道题2017.04.08

 In some countries around the world, men and women are having babies late in life.

What do you think are the reasons? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 

大家环顾下周围会发现最不缺这样的采访对象了吧，赶紧行动吧。所以各位考生一定要在备考初级阶段就养成爱思考的习惯。

第二，我们都知道雅思写作涉及教育，社会，科技，伦理，等等话题，辐射面非常广，有一些问题是我们平时并不会遇到的，这时就需要我们自己多创造跟这些话题接触的机会了。

12月1日的雅思又一次上了微博热搜，除了听力比较难，很多看到写作也是比较崩溃，无从下手。

Some people think that money spent on developing technology on space exploration is not justified. They think there are more beneficial ways to spend money. Do you agree or disagree?（2018.12.1 ）

大家看到这个题目就会很蒙吧，大家会发现太空探索自己不熟悉也没有话说，那要憋出来250个词真是太痛苦了。

其实在我们题库中不仅仅是这一个题目，2016年也有类似太空的题目

Some scientists believe that intelligent life forms may exist on other planets and some want to send messages to contact them. Others think it is a bad idea because these life forms may be too dangerous. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. （2016.10.16）

对于这样的题目，我们这时候问身边人也没有用了，因为我们身边能了解太空或者宇宙的人也是非常之少，这时我们最好学习新闻里面的知识，现在网络非常发达，大家都能找到很多外媒比如VOA ，BBC ，纽约时报，华盛顿邮报等等。在这里可以找到我们不熟悉的话题和题材，然后还可以积累比较地道的表达，

举例来说以下是一篇最新的VOA新闻标题是

Rocket  Launches and Trips to the Moon We’re Looking Forward to in 2018

If you love space and astronomy ,2018 will be an exciting year . NASA has announced windows of time for sending spacecraft to Mars and the sun . Japanese and American probes already in space are set to enter orbit around two near Earth asteroids . And a variety of eclipses and meter showers offer ample opportunities for sky gazing .

给大家翻译一下啊，如果你喜欢太空和天文学，2018年将会是让你心潮澎湃的一年。航空航天局公布了向火星美国航天探测器即将开始绕两个近地小行星轨道运行，各类日月食和流星雨给观测天空的人提供了足够多的机会。

We have put dates for these events and more on the Time‘s Astronomy and Space Calendar . But while some dates are certain or proximate , there is a lot to be unsure about down here on Earth .

我们简单来看一下这一小段，这里我们就可以看出一个探索太空的细节表达，至少探测器的表达是spacecraft 和probe 记住了，而不是大家去有道里面直译的space machine。

有关2016年的那个外星智慧的题目下面这一篇BBC的材料估计读完，大家对这个题目的理解会透彻很多吧。

Take me to your Leader! 寻找外星人

For decades we've been sending signals into space and listening out for out of this world broadcasts. But what's the plan if signs of intelligent alien life are detected?

Those likely to be at the receiving end of a cosmic signal are the scientists at the Seti Institute in California. And its principal astronomer, Seth Shostak, says that if we do get an unusual deep space message confirmed by other telescopes around the world "the protocol would be simply to announce it".

The possibility of extraterrestrial life has always fascinated mankind. Last year, two petitions with more than 17,000 signatures were sent to the US government enquiring if ET had ever been in touch. The White House replied that there was "no evidence that any life exists outside our planet".

But many in different parts of the world are not convinced. They insist that we are not alone in the Universe and go as far as believing that alien abduction is not the stuff of science fiction. According to a report released by the British government in 1995, two boys told the police that a figure with a lemon-shaped head showed up in a spaceship in Staffordshire and told them to follow it. They said they ran away.

The police recorded that the boys appeared "distressed" after gazing at the alleged UFO (unidentified flying object). Some attributed their account to a vivid imagination rather than a prank or a real experience.

Meanwhile scientists continue to be on the look out for Earth-like planets in other solar systems that could support life. We might just find little green men or even end up playing aliens ourselves by colonising other worlds。
