这次北京环球教育老师给大家带来的8月18日雅思写作预测，希望对你们有所帮助哦~

　　大作文tips

　　1.关于审题：看清楚题型也是非常重要的一个环节，是同意不同意类？还是双边讨论类？还是报告类？不同题型的写作结构也是不同的，要准确把握。

　　2.关于充分展开论证：充分的论证和不充分的论证最大的差距就在于是否给足具有说服力的例子，所以一定要杜绝只抛观点不举例这种现象哦~

　　3.关于词汇：用大词和生僻词并不一定能展现词汇丰富度，用准词和替换词才是正道。

　　政府类话题思路参考

　　①政府推行的政策（policies）会影响到行业的发展（development of careers）。

　　如果政府增加对某项社会问题，如教育问题（education）、医疗问题（health care）、交通问题（transport）的财政投入（financial support），相应地，该领域的工资待遇就会提高，而为了追求更高的收入，大量的人才（talented people）就会向这些行业聚集（gather in thesecareers），促进其发展（promote the industry）.

　　②政府推行的政策会影响到公众对某些事件的态度（publicattitudes towards an affair）。

　　为推行政策，政府经常会通过大力的宣传（advocate）和教育，营造出一种洗脑式的（brain-washing）媒体环境（media environment）置身其中，人们难免会受到其影响，接受一些他们平常的所见所闻，改变或强化他们对某些事件的看法。
