雅思写作：如何用小词写作文

　　那些人背诵单词和看语法书已经有十年多了，这样的十年在英文学习上证明是徒劳无益的，他们写出来的句子毫无法则，单词也不会用。无法表达自己。既然这样，结果证明是失败的，那么他们为什么还要愚钝地坚持自己错误的做法呢?我不是批评，我是告诉大家，要不断检验自己的方法和效果，并且不断改进。下面是我课堂写的一段关于高中毕业生是否在上大学之前要工作或者旅游一段时间。注意，我用的单词全部是高中1500核心单词之内。这并不是说高中英文教育还有什么价值，而是说大部分人是经历过高中学习的，已经具备了一般高中词汇的认知能力,全文257单词,

　　The established idea about high school students is that they should enter universities or colleges after they have finished high school study. But in these years the number of students who go to travel or work increases at a fast speed, attracting attention to study.

　　Either to travel or to do a job, part time or full time, helps students to grow in a happy and healthy way. To work usually means to earn a sum of money which a student uses to buy whatever delights him or her. Besides, the sum of money has deep sense to a student because he or she feels that he has grown up enough to help parents release pressure. My own experience in a factory in the summer holiday in 1996 severs as a good example. I earned totally ￥92.75 RMB that summer, almost half of my total year tuition.

　　To travel is also positive to students who have been kept in classrooms for long. When one travels, he or she learns more in a different way unavailable in classroom. My English professor once said that a person learns more in a hundred-mile travel than reading ten thousand books. In fact, a travel is a complex process, in which one learns to make stranger acquaintance, acquaintance friends, and friends brothers and sisters. In traveling, not only can the traveler learn more about the geography, biology, and culture but also the deep means of life.

　　Clearly, to travel and to work both are helpful to the high school leavers.
