Writing section of IBT

cocoshi

Here ,I wanna share with you some information about writing section of ibt.

There are two questions in the Writing section.

The first question is an integrated reading-listening-writing task.Reading time is 3 mins.Listing time is 2-3 mins.Writing time is 20 mins.

This Writing Type need us to have some abilities:

* orgnize ideas dffectively in answering the question

* find connections between the lecture and reading

* develop ideas with appropriate examples and explaination

*display unity and coherence

* use English words and sentences effectively

!Our response is expected to have about 150-225 words.

Sample  of a Gneral Plan:

Paragraph 1:  Frist key point from the lecture

                        *Examples from the lecture

                        *Explanation of connection to the reading

Paragraph 2  second key point  fom  the  lecture

                        *Examples from the lecture

                        *Explanation of connection to the reading

Paragraph 3  Third point  fom  the  lecture

                        *Examples from the lecture

                        *Explanation of connection to the reading

Then ,as we all know the Coherence is the quality of unity and order in a piece of writing.

Here we have some introduce key points:

According to the Lecture ,The reading stated that,The professor made the poin that ,The lecture supports/illustrates/contradicts/refutes the idea that

Introduce  eg of reasons:

for sinstance ,one example is,because and so on

add eg or reasons:

also.furthermore,in addition,another example is,next

Show Contract netween ideas:

in contrast,however,but,on contrary to,os the opposite of ,on the other hand,while

I wish you it is helpful.

As for the second question of the writing section: We'll read the question below and have 30 mins to write.An effective response will have a minimum of 300 words.I think we could use a good model.So we can not type wrong words.

There is a good model:

Recently there is a debate over whether …..Some people assert that.., while other people believe that…As a matter of fact, the issue of whether ….. is a complex and controversial one. Different people hold different views due to their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation. The decision, nevertheless, is not an easy one to make.  Actually, the final judgment should rely on a case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree that …. , and do not agree that….. My view can be greatly substantiated by the following discussions.

The first argument that can be presented to develop my position is that… A good example may be found in the case that… Under this circumstance, it is obvious that….

In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this statement. The reason is not far to seek…. To illustrate, let us consider that … Hence, another equally important aspect is that….

Admittedly, it may be true that …. in some conditions. However, this alone does not constitute a sufficient support to claim that ….,Actually, these cases are rare and therefore are too specific and too weak to strengthen the view that…When the advantages and disadvantages of x and y are carefully examined, the most striking conclusion is obvious that…

To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other  to generate an integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them, we may be comfortable to say that …., because….
