【内容简介】

　　本书收集了近十年来在雅思A类和G类写作考试的Task 2中出现过的各类题材的议论文写作题， 并且为每道雅思题目提供了高质量的范文。除了范文之外， 每一道雅思题目的后面还附有单词注解、 汉语译文、 特别提醒、 相关题目、 写作点拨、 词汇升级、 句型升级、 论据积累等自学辅导栏目。考生在阅读本书之前， 请先了解各个自学辅导栏目的设置目的以及学习重点， 结合自身情况对这些内容进行取舍， 以提高学习效率、 取得最佳的复习效果。
　　1. 单词注释
　　这个栏目归纳整理了范文中出现的难度相对较高的词汇， 并附有音标和汉语释义。
　　如果考生的复习时间多于三个月， 请记忆这些单词

　　如果复习时间少于一个月， 请跳过这个栏目， 直接进入“词汇升级”环节
　　2. 汉语译文
　　这个栏目提供了范文的汉语译文。为了方便读者的理解， 大部分译文以直译为主， 因而部分语句会略显生涩， 望考生见谅。立志在雅思写作考试中夺取高分并且有较长复习时间的考生， 可以在精读完范文以后， 试着对照范文的汉语译文， 将文章再译成英文。用心比较自己的译文和范文在文字方面的不同， 可以让你的英语表达能力在短时间内有一个很大的提高。
　　3. 特别提醒
