Understanding the task in IELTS essays
Perhaps the number 1 rule in IELTS writing is to answer the question. This may sound obvious, but it is surprising how many candidates fail to get it right. Even though their English may be high quality, they won’t get the grade they need if their IELTS essay doesn’t address the question.
雅思写作要求No.1:回答问题！没有回答题目问题的作文不会拿高分。
The starting point is to recognise that there is in fact a question to be answered and that this is not the same as writing about a general topic. To understand this, read this IELTS essay question: Now, the topic is clearly transport and more particularly road congestion or perhaps pollution. But, and I cannot emphasise this enough, that topic is not the question and it is not sufficient to write about that topic in general. The final part of the question is the task itself. It tells you how to write your essay: whether you should be commenting. comparing or arguing. This can help you structure your essay. Reading the question in this way, you should now see how precise they tend to be. 最后题目会给你一个任务：评论，或比较，或辩论！这也能提示你怎样组织文章 The examiner is looking for an equally precise answer: not the repetition of the essay you wrote a few weeks back on a similar looking topic. 考官是睁大了眼睛找确切的回答，所以千万不要随便套用一个你以前写过的相似题材的文章！没有什么模板是万能的，也不是所有同一题材的文章都可以用一个模板解决!
Topics and questions 首先，确定什么是主题和什么是要回答的问题。
The first cars appeared on the British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use.
Reading the questionRemember to identify what the exact task is. Do not confuse this with the general topic of the essay and background information given in the essay question
To get this right, it is important to read and think about the question very carefully – time spent focussing on the question is never wasted. Helpfully, the essay questions are almost always structured in the same way. Often they come in 3 parts: background information, problem and task.认真读题绝对不是浪费时间，而且雅思作文题在结构上有一定规律，通常分3部分：背景信息、问题、任务。
1. Background information
Very often, they are introduced with some background information, here:
The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads.
This is background information only. Not to be ignored, as it can be a vital source of both ideas and vocabulary.
背景信息往往能给你一个提示：用什么样的观点、什么样的词汇。
2. The problem
Next comes an opinion based statement which introduces the question and poses a specific problem. In our example:
Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car use and ownership.
This is the part to note. The topic may be transport in general; but reading carefully it is more precisely:
alternative forms of transport
international legislation of transport
the relationship between the state and the individual
the concept of car use and ownership (not necessarily the same thing)
确定背景之后往往会引入一个问题，像上面这个例子，背景是交通，具体的问题则可能是不同的交通方式、国家交通法规、国家和个人在交通方面的关系，或者是机动车使用及所有权的问题。
3. The task
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Moral: read the question – the whole question! 请烤鸭们千万认真读题！
Good Luck！
