So where do we start if we haven't writing these 4 or 5 paragraph.
那么，如果我们还没有写这4或5段，我们该从哪里开始呢？
Is it 4 paragraph essay？4 paragraphs is easy for IELTS.
是4段短文吗？4段对雅思来说很容易。
Yeah, a good place to start would be looking at example essays and just to read enough example essays that you see some similarities.
是的，刚开始一个好的办法是是阅读范例文章，阅读足够多的范例文章，你就能看到一些相似之处。
A really good website for that is the OWL Purdue website. Oh nice!
一个非常好的网站是OWL Purdue网站。哦，太好了！
We could put the the exact website online after we after we report this, but it is the owl Perdue if you Google that you'll find it. It's a great writing website.
我们可以在本期内容之后，把完整的网站放在网上，但如果你在谷歌上搜索，你会找到Owl Perdue。这是一个很棒的写作网站。
I talked about Intro to Academic Writing as a textbook that you can buy in an earlier episode. That's also great.
我谈到了《学术写作入门》，这是一本你可以在早期的一集中买到的教科书。这也很棒。
But, yeah, you need to remember that the way you get to the point or make your ideas clear in your culture may not be what we're expecting on Ielts because that's not what we do in western culture, for example.
但是，是的，你需要记住，在你的文化中，你切入主题或表达观点的方式可能与我们在 Ielts 考试中期望的不同，因为这不是我们在西方文化中的做法。
So, where to put the main idea or your thesis statement? That's like different in other countries.
那么，把主要观点或你的论点陈述放在哪里呢？这与其他国家是不同的。
Totally we're gonna have to focus a few other episodes on this topic.
总而言之，我们将不得不将这个话题分开谈。
I'm sure I mean, another example is I know and we may have talked about this before, but I know that you know good writing and in in Western Europe or in Brazil is long sentences.
我确信，我的意思是，另一个例子是，我知道我们以前可能讨论过这个问题，但我知道你知道好的写作在西欧或巴西都是长句子。
But here it's really not right, just gets tight concise yeah, these powerful sentences.
但在这里，这样做真的是不正确的。仅仅需要让句子变得紧凑简洁，是的，要一些强有力的句子。
Yeah, as a writing teacher for so long, we always focus our students on getting to the point.
是的，作为一名长期的写作老师，我们总是教学生把注意力集中在切中要害上。
Don't use words you don't need, and I mean that's the problem that I always got in trouble with in school.
不要使用不需要的词，我的意思是，这是我在学校总是遇到的问题。
Also because I wanted to use like 5 adjectives and just have this like really amazing sentences.
因为我想用5个形容词，就像是一个很棒的句子。
But unfortunately especially in academic writing,that's not what the examiner or your professor wants to see, yeah, and I would imagine that reading would be a really great way to get better at writing too, right?
但不幸的是，尤其是在学术写作中，这不是考官或你的教授想要看到的，是的，我想阅读也会是提高写作水平的一个很好的方法，对吗？
So picking up some great titles. I love Stephen Presfield.
所以挑选一些很棒的书名。我爱斯蒂芬·普雷斯菲尔德。
I think he's a great writer, so he writes a lot about personal development and art, so how to get over your inner critic, how to put your art out into the world, how to do the work and sit down every day?
我认为他是一位伟大的作家，所以他写了很多关于个人发展和艺术的文章，那么如何克服内心的批评者，如何将你的艺术带到世界上，如何做好工作还有休息？
And so he writes for artists and entrepreneurs. Yeah, you would probably like him. Definitely.
因此，他为艺术家和企业家写作。是啊，你可能会喜欢他。当然。
Yeah, but we could even recommend that to our listeners because his sentences are very concise and powerful. He's a really good writer. That's a good example of solid writing. Yeah, excellent.
是的，但我们甚至可以推荐给我们的听众，因为他的句子非常简洁和有力。他是个很好的作家。这是一个很好的扎实写作的例子。是啊，太棒了。
Yeah, we always want to have only the important information there.
是的，我们总是希望只有重要的信息。
So, for example, if you said something in the previous sentence you don't need to repeat it in the next sentence.
因此，例如，如果你在前一句话中说了什么，你不需要在下一句话中重复。
If you're looking at your sentence, make sure every word is necessary basically. I need to follow that in my own writing, yeah.
如果你正在看你的句子，确保每个单词基本上都是必要的。是的，我需要在我自己的写作中遵循这一点。
And then the last piece of advice. A lot of students ask me like how they're supposed to support their ideas because we always, when we explain a body paragraph we use the general outline of topic sentence, with the main idea, reason one details and examples about the reason 2 details and examples, and then students are like, what are the details?
然后是最后一条建议。很多学生都会问我，他们应该如何支持自己的论点，因为我们在解释主体段落时，总是使用主题句的大纲，加上主旨、原因一以及细节，然后原因二的细节和例子，然后学生们就会问，细节是什么？
Like, what do you want with them? You know what honestly?
比如，你想从中得到什么？老实说，你知道吗？
As I said in another episode about speaking, IELTS doesn't care about your ideas, so you can make stuff up, okay?
就像我在另一集关于口语的节目中所说的，雅思不关心你的想法，所以你可以编造一些东西，好吗？
Improvise yeah, Ielts knows that you don't have access to a computer or a library, so they don't expect you to have like real research and stuff, so just make something up.
是的，IELTS知道你不能使用电脑或图书馆，所以他们不会期望你有真正的研究和东西，所以只要编造一些东西。
So, you could actually just tell a lie is what you're saying, you could just bring up kind of false research or anything that you just think would support the idea.
所以，你实际上可以撒一个谎，你可以提出一种虚假的研究或任何你认为可以支持这个想法的东西。
Yeah, I love it when students do that, just learn, just memorize a sentence structure according to so and so in 1992 or something like as published in the New York Times last month and then just make something up.
是的，我喜欢学生们这样做，只是学习，只是记住一个句子结构，根据1992年或上个月发表在《纽约时报》上的类似内容，然后编造一些东西。
80 percent of people would rather live in a cit, you know that's doing the topic.
80%的人宁愿住在城市里，你知道这就是主题。
That's pretty cool because, guys, this is one of the only times you'll ever be able to make stuff up like this when it comes to research and citations, so enjoy it ! I mean be creative!
这很酷，因为，伙计们，在研究和引用方面，这是你们唯一能够编造出这样的东西的时候之一，所以请享受它！我的意思是要有创意！
So you can totally make stuff up and lie, make up some research, but you could also use personal experience even though it is an academic essay.
所以你完全可以编造东西，撒谎，编造一些研究，但你也可以利用个人经验，尽管这是一篇学术论文。
Again, we know you don't have the internet at your fingertips and you can't look something up in a book.
再说一次，我们知道你指尖上没有互联网，你也不能在一本书里查到什么。
It is okay in this circumstance to use your own experience.
在这种情况下，用你自己的经验是可以的。
It's not okay when you're writing something for your professor, but on IELTS, it's totally fine.
当你为你的教授写东西的时候，这是不对的，但在雅思考试中，这是完全没有问题的。
So if we're taking the example of city or countryside topic you could say, speaking from personal experience, I grew up in a town of 100 people, then moved to the big city when I was 21 and have much more job opportunities now or I don't know something.
因此，如果我们以城市或农村为例，你可以说，从个人经验来看，我在一个100人的小镇长大，然后在21岁时搬到大城市，现在有更多的工作机会，或者，我不知道还有什么。
Yeah, I like that. I like that and maybe in a future episode we'll have to go into vocabulary phrases to introduce your own personal experience in an essay, right?
是啊，我喜欢。我喜欢这一点，也许在未来的一集中，我们将讨论词汇短语，在一篇文章中介绍你自己的个人经历，对吗？
But knowing how to start that sharing of your personal experience is key.
但知道如何开始分享你的个人经历是关键。
Yeah, yeah, if you have 3 or 4 really good sentence structures for talking about research and personal examples, that's really all you're gonna need for an opinion essay on the test, you know to fill those body paragraphs.
是的，是的，如果你有3到4个非常好的句子结构来谈论研究和个人例子，这就是你写一篇关于考试的观点文章所需要的全部，你知道的，以填补那些正文段落。
Very nice. I like it, so those are the 3 ways to attack writing task 2 right, Jessica, so I like it. I love how aggressive that sounds. That is very aggressive. That's what we're gonna do, guys. Yeah, we're giving the listeners the power. This is exciting!
非常好。我喜欢，所以这就是写作任务2的三种方式，杰西卡，所以我喜欢它。我喜欢这听起来很有攻击性。这是非常有攻击性的。这就是我们要做的，伙计们。是的，我们正在给听众传输这股力量。真令人兴奋!
This is exciting, so practice your brainstorming, get an outline down and really focus and then give reasons and examples and make them up if you have to. I mean, don't worry about telling a lie.
这是令人兴奋的，所以练习你的头脑风暴，写下大纲，真正集中精力，然后给出理由和例子，如果你有必要的话，还可以编出来。我是说，别担心撒谎。
This is a unique situation and don't be afraid if you don't have all the information available to you, you know on the Internet as you said.
这是一种特殊的情况，如果你没有所有可用的信息，不要害怕，正如你在互联网上所说的那样。
Yeah so you might yeah take advantage of this time to just totally BS if you will just totally just make some stuff up, you know.
是的，所以你可能会利用这段时间完全胡说八道，如果你只是完全编造一些东西，你知道的。
And seriously, as long as you use good vocabulary and sentence structure, you'll get a good grade.
说真的，只要你使用好的词汇和句子结构，你就会得到一个好成绩。
Your idea could be so ridiculous the examiner doesn't care as long as you use good vocabulary and sentence structure, you're at least a 7, so there you go. I like it, I like it. This has been great.
你的想法可能太荒谬了，但只要你使用良好的词汇和句子结构，你至少是7分，所以就这样吧。我喜欢，我喜欢。这太棒了。
Well, thank you Jessica for sharing this knowledge with us. We really appreciate it. My pleasure, my pleasure. I hope the listeners do well. Absolutely alright. Great, so have a good day. Thank you you too.
好吧，感谢杰西卡与我们分享这些知识。我们真的很感激。我的荣幸，我的荣幸。我希望听众可以运用的很好。当然会的。祝你有美好的一天。也谢谢你。
Bye, Lindsay. Bye.
