This book is intended to help you to understand what is required of you as a candidate in the writing section of the IELTS test. The book covers the various types of tasks you are likely to encounter in the test.

The IELTS test can be challenging, especially for students who have limited experience of academic writing. However, I hope that this book can enable you to ultimately be successful in your studies.

Before you start this book, I would like to point out the following.

First of all, the examples in this book are not the only way to write. Different writers (and teachers!) may come up with different ideas and a variety of different structures. The examples are intended to give you a model on which to base your own writing and to develop your own personal style.

Secondly, the IELTS writing test is testing your skill as a writer, not your memorisation skills. Do not try to memorise the examples exactly, but instead, use them as inspiration for your own essays and descriptions.

Finally, remember that the IELTS writing test is designed to help you to improve the skills you will need to work or study overseas. Unfortunately, there are no short cuts, or special tricks to “crack” the test. The best way to achieve your goal is to become a better writer, so practise as much as possible and make sure that you get feedback from an expert to help you to improve.

I hope that you find this book useful in developing your writing ability, and wish you every success in your test!

本書旨在介紹雅思寫作考試中會出現的各式題型，以幫助考生順利面對每一次的應試；雅思考試確實不容易，對於缺乏寫作經驗的考生而言更是，但我們希望能藉著此書讓讀者增進自己的實力，並找到最適合自己的寫作步調。

在開始研讀本書前，我們有三點提醒：第一，書中提供的參考答案並不是唯一的答案，寫作本來就會因人而異，參考答案的功用只是提供一個範本，找到自己的寫作風格才是最重要的；第二，雅思寫作考試要測驗的是你是否具有寫作的能力而非記憶力，因此請不要死背參考範例，但可以將其作為靈感參考，寫出屬於你自己的文章；第三，請記得雅思寫作考試的目的是幫助你提升在國外工作或讀書所需的技能，很遺憾地，並沒有任何捷徑能幫助你完成考試，唯有不斷地練習以及向專業的寫作老師求教才能幫助你達到目標。

我們希望這本《連雅思主考官都讚嘆的雅思寫作解題祕笈》能對你發展寫作技能有所幫助，並期望你能成功制霸每一場考試！
