建议一： 避免空洞的单词和词组
一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为：
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their
有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have
建议二： 避免重复
尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复，但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子：:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：
The farm my grandfather grew up on was
更简洁的表达方式为：
My grandfather grew up on a large
有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换，例如：
My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents’
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly，显得更为简洁：
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents’
建议三：选择最恰当的语法结构
选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要，但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下推荐几种考生们在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则：
一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。例如：.
The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the
从意思上来分析，上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”，而在表达这个概念时，原句用的主语是situation，谓语动词是was，不能强调需要表达的重点概念，可以改为下面这句话：
My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the
避免频繁使用“there be”结构，例如下面的句子：
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every It was hard work for my
可以改为：My grandfather worked He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every
更简洁的句式为：
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows
把从句改为短语或单词。例如：
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was
简介的表达方式为：
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest
仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候，才使用被动语态。例如：
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather’s family”，而使用了被动语态后，仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态，相对来说更简洁一些：
In the fall, my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the
用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语，例如下面这句话：
My grandfather didn’t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达，即loiter：
My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school
有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达，例如：
Profits from the farm were not Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a They were not sufficient to pay for a university
两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子：
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university

Task：Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to live with Do you agree or disagree?
有人认为我们应该学会适应气候而不是防止气候变化。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意?
解析：
气候变化是一个全球性的问题。前几年大家谈及最多的就是气候变暖(global warming, greenhouse effect)问题，好像地球大难临头的样子。近些年科学界对这个问题又有了重新认识，全球变暖的问题好像并不那么迫切了。因此，7月16日这个雅思作文题目才得以出台。要在15年前出这个题目，估计雅思考试本身都会被人喷死!那么，现在，这个问题提出就没有风险了。面对气候变化，我们应该努力去避免它，还是努力去适应它?
看起来耳熟能详的问题，论证起来却不那么容易。如果你写难了，你的英语表达一定很有问题。那么，如何比较简单入手来论述呢?首先，描写一下近年来的气候变化情况，然后讲避免气候变化成本很高，还不如去适应它。那么，如何讲避免气候变化成本高呢?从技术层面上去讲的话，累死你，效果还绝对差，所以还不如举例。然后，论证如何适应气候变化，就很容易了。
参考范文：
Climate change has become a worldwide issue in recent The Earth, according to some scientists, is becoming warmer and warmer and this is an alert signal for the future safety of the For these scientists, we must do something to prevent the climate from becoming Meanwhile, there are also scientists who do not think much of the climate change and therefore suggest that we do nothing but find a way to live with For my part, I agree with the second group of
To reverse the climate change is never an easy The widely acknowledged causes of climate change include the automobile gas emissions, factory pollution, deforestation, among If we wish to prevent the climate change, we will have to significantly reduce the use of cars and airplanes, close most of the factories and stop people from cutting This means that, in order to make the Earth become cooler by one or two centigrade degree, our normal life will have to This is a cost most of us would never want to pay, although we have been repeatedly told of the benefits of doing so to the future
Then, in face of climate change, rather than trying to prevent it, we'd better try to find a way to live with For instance, when the hotter climate makes it impossible to grow a certain vegetable in summer, we can grow it earlier than now, store it and then eat it when the weather becomes too Also, we can develop new technologies to grow the vegetable we need even when the climate has Furthermore, when it is necessary, we can make adjustments about our work If the weather has become intolerably hot, we can have a few days off and make up when it gets back to Such flexibilities will help us solve the climate change problem and at the same time will not bring down our
Climate change is not a good thing, but for the time being, I do not think we should take expensive and costly measures to prevent Rather, I believe we should find a way to live with
