雅思作文題開頭方法1. 採用“媒體報道”引出話題，把問題呈現在讀者面前，引起讀者思考
例如在寫關於該不該禁菸的話題時，可以這樣開頭：A recent study conducted by Zhongshan University has found that the number of smokers has been increasing sharply over the pastfive years. Research findings also reveal that the incidence of smoking-relatedconditions has soared. As a result, the ban on smoking has been in the spotlight.
評析：這個開頭通過媒體報道把吸菸問題呈現在讀者面前，從而引出吸菸比例急劇上升造成的危害，引發思考。
再例如在寫“關於是否應該體罰”的話題文章時，採用這樣一個開頭：
It isreported that a boy in Zhuhai wasbeaten to death by his father on Father' Day. Ampleevidence also shows thatchildren who are frequently abused by their parents or teachers tend to beintroverted(內向),pessimistic(悲觀),indifferent (冷漠)and even world-weary(厭世). Recently, there has arisen a fierce argument on whether corporalpunishment should be abolished. Teachers, parents and experts take diverse attitudes towards this issue.
評析：當考官看到這個貼近生活的具體事例時，會產生濃厚的興趣，從而引發對這件事情的思考。
2.呈現一個觀點的兩面
例如在寫到“學校和父母在教育孩子成為合格公民時，誰的責任更大”這樣的話題，可以這麼寫：Achild’s education has never been about learning information and basic skills has always always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of efore, this can not be the responsibility of theparents alone.
評析：在開頭提出立意之觀點的兩方面(不是···，而是···)，通過不同的思考來豐富開頭段的內容。
3.引用名人名言、諺語等作為文章的開頭
例如在寫到“先天跟後天哪一個更重要”時，可以採用這樣的開頭：“Genius is twopercent inspiration and ninety-eight percent perspiration” is the opinion held by remark has been confirmed time and again by more and more people.
評析：通過引用名人名言揭示了文章的主題，為下文很好地做了鋪墊。
4.對將要討論的.話題進行定義
例如在寫到Globalization時，可以寫成：Globalization is the international spread of products,ideas and information-is bringing the world closer together. But globalization is not a new concept. For thousands of years, nations have roamed the earth insearch of new markets and new sources of raw materials for their ownindustries.
評析：先是從字面上詮釋了"全球化"的定義，進而又從歷史的角度賦予了它另外一層含義，顯得豐富而有層次感。
5.執果索因法
例如讓大家討論“大學應該更多地提供職業技能還是傳授知識”時，可以寫成：Job-hunting has become one of the main purposes of university education,the majority of the universities tend to offer vocational training to preparethe students for their future my opinion, universities should...
評析：從傳統觀點來看，大學是傳授知識的地方，為什麼會提出要傳授技能呢?所以這裡考生也可以用追根溯源法思考一下，大家肯定可以想到是由於找工作已經成為當今教育的目的之一了，所以很多大學就轉移到以傳授技能為主了。這個開頭的成功之處在於第一句話即表明觀點，再說理。
