提高雅思写作能力的有效途径：研习范文
造成这一现象的原因是多方面的，其中一个很重要的原因在于，很多学生只是注重应试技巧，对所谓“模板”趋之若鹜，而不是去着手提高语言能力。实际上，应试技巧固然重要，但是要想真正在写作考试中取得理想成绩，还得从根本上去提高语言能力，因为从根本上来说，雅思写作考试考察的是考生能否用符合逻辑的语言去表达观点的能力。如果没有打下良好的语言基础，那么所谓的应试技巧都将成为空中楼阁，徒有空架子而没有内容。对于很多考生而言，文章章法(即文章的行文思路、布局谋篇、结构安排、逻辑顺序)和想观点也许不是最难的，难的是用具体的语言去表达观点。
那么该怎样去提高语言表达能力呢?研习、背诵和模仿范文(包括其他优秀英文文章)是个有效的途径。这是因为：写作是个语言输出的过程，而要想保证输出的质量，就一定要保证有大量、高质量的输入。研习和背诵范文就是这样的一个输入和积累的过程。当然，首先要搞清楚研习范文的含义。所谓研习范文，绝非仅仅是把别人的文章看懂，而是要本着独立思考的精神，根据自己的实际情况，研究并吸取范文中精华的部分。换句话说，就是要把范文中的漂亮词汇和句型(但不限于词汇和句型)通过背诵和重复记忆内化成自己的东西，以便在以后写作中的用到。所以，这个过程体现要体现出研习范文之后对今后写作的影响。只有这样做，才能从根本上避免很多同学把输入范文和输出写作割裂开来的误区，从而做到“范文好，我的作文也好”，并最终实现“大家好，才是真的好”的喜人场面。
接下来，以研习剑六G类的B篇考官范文为例，说明这个问题。
范文：剑六， P172
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children.
Do you agree or disagree?
I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.
However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the “hero” of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centered and insensitive to others.
Even when children use a computer of other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing non-virtual experiences is an important part of a children’s development that cannot be provided by a computer.
In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.
I think the main point is to make sure the young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.
