雅思寫作的大作文需要我們用40分鐘的時間寫一篇250字的文章，我們可以花6-8分鐘的時間來構思文章觀點以及結構，28-30分鐘時間來寫文章，最後一定要留出3-6分鐘的時間來進行檢查。那麼相信考生會有一個問題：我應該從哪幾個方面來進行檢查呢?考試的時間是很寶貴的，所以如果不經過一定的訓練，只在考試中的最後幾分鐘來檢查自己的文章，考生肯定無從下手。所以我建議廣大考生在平時的訓練中，就要做好檢查以及修改這一項工作。具體可以從如下幾方面入手：
1.標點和拼寫是否有錯誤
2.是否使用了正確的語法結構，比方說，考生經常犯錯誤的幾個方面：動詞時態是否一致、主謂是否一致、詞性(尤其是名詞、動詞、形容詞)、名詞單複數、冠詞錯誤和介詞錯誤;
3.句式是否有變化(如各種從句的使用、分詞結構等);
4.是否明確的觀點以及分論點;
5.在每段的主題句中都表明了這個段落的中心思想，所有擴充套件句都緊扣主題;
6.使用了過渡性詞語，因而句子之間和段落之間都有邏輯性和條理性;
7.文章是否提供了足夠的細節、例子或論據。
考生在平時的訓練中，可以只側重寫文章，但是對檢查以及修改這個過程沒有重視。殊不知，如果檢查以及修改這項工作做得好，會比單單寫文章更加有效果。大家甚至可以把修改過的文章再拿過來修改一次，總結自己的錯誤，加深印象。

對於自己複習的烤鴨，最難得莫過於寫了作文不知道對不對。。沒人幫忙修改，也看不出自己哪裡犯了錯，哪裡需要改進~下面是一名外籍雅思老師為烤鴨們總結的klist，照著這個，你可以對自己練習寫的小作文進行修改，learn from your own mistake是最好的提高方法!
A checklist for part 1 graphs, charts and tables
In task 1 it is important that you accurately describe the information from the diagram so you don’t lose marks under Task Response. The difficulty is to decide what is the key information as there is often a lot of data to process. One way of thinking about this, is to ask yourself if someone could draw the chart and graph from the information in your report. This is not easy to do and so to help you, you will find below a 8 point checklist, an exercise and a practice suggestion.
Checklist
Here is my 8 point checklist to help you include the relevant details. I suggest you use it to check your own work: you should be able to answer “yes”to all the questions.
1. Type of diagram 圖表型別
Have you correctly identified whether it is a bar chart/line graph/pie chart/flow chart/table?
有沒有說清楚這個一個什麼樣的圖表----柱狀圖?線圖?餅圖?還是流程圖?
2. The correct tense 時態
Have you correctly identified whether the data in the chart relates to past time, a current state of affairs or a future prediction? This includes not just using the correct tenses but also including specific times in your report.
有沒有運用正確的時態呢?要記住，不止要用對時態，還要再小作文中寫清具體的時間!
3. The subjects 物件
Have you included all the subjects that are referred to in the diagram? Even if you have a bar chart ortable naming 8 different countries for example, you still need to refer to them all in your report.
所有圖表中所提到的物件都寫進小作文了嗎?如果圖表裡提到8個國家，全部都要寫進去哦~
4. Units
Have you included references to the units? These may be units of time (months/years etc), money (millions of £) or simple numbers (10,000s). To do this, you need to read the x and y axes carefully.
單位寫清楚了嗎?X軸和Y軸上的單位都要看清楚哦~
5. Highs and lows/Beginnings and ends/Biggest and smallest
Have you included the extremes shown in the diagram? In nearly all charts and graphs these are key features to include as they give the reader a frame for understanding the chart or graph. When there is a lot of data, you may not include every extreme so you need to use your judgement.
文中有重要資訊點了嗎?最高點、最低點、起點、終點、最多的、最少的一定要寫進去!
