我们说，要想提高雅思写作分数，除了多积累好的词汇和句型，多看范文这项工作也是必不可少的。写作是输出型考试，输出的文字质量是高是低，与我们平时输入多少好的词、好的句子密切相关。所以在这里也特别提醒大家，不要一味地埋头苦写，从不看范文，从不背好的句子。一味埋头苦写无异于只是把自己4分、5分的作文水平练的更加纯熟，练成了钢琴十级跆拳道黑带而已，一定要多读范文，多背好的句子，这样才能真正提高写作水平。俗话说“熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟”，范文的力量，可见一斑。

我们先来看一道机经真题：

Some people think that government should establish free libraries in each town.

While others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

拿到这个题目，很多同学写开头都陷入了一种典型的模板化形式，笔下的开头是这样的：

Nowadays, the human society is progressing rapidly on various fronts. Yet at the same time, whether government should establish free libraries in each town has sparked much debate. Some people think government should establish free libraries in each town, while others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home. Personally, I am in favor of the former view.

不知道有没有同学“躺枪”，写这种开头的同学，分数绝对不可能高于5.5，整个开头几乎可以说是在“自杀”，除了套模板，就是照搬原题，考官拿到这种开头是绝对不会有好印象的。那真正好的开头是什么样子的呢?我们以剑8的TEST1中剑桥考官的给出的范文为例，来看看考官自己爱怎么写开头。先来看一下题目:

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

考官范文的开头是这样的：

A child’s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.

从这篇考官范文的开头，我们不难看出，它并没有模式化的“社会背景引入-提出正方观点-再提出反方观点-最后陈述自己观点”，而是只做了两件事：

一、给核心名词下定义。

在本文中，即是给child’s education下了个定义，谈了一下在作者看来，child’s education是什么样的。

二、表明观点或立场。

在本文中，即阐明孩子的教育问题不仅仅只关乎家长。所以，好的开头可以“无模板，但有逻辑。”

翻翻剑桥雅思考官的范文，我们会发现很多考官在开头段都只干了两件事：下定义+ 表明观点，或者是引出背景+表明观点，还有很多考官范文开头只是引出背景而已。所以，阐述题目中谈及事件的背景才是开头段应该做的，而不是模式化的引出两方观点。
