培訓機構的差別、班型的差別、課程內容和教學形式的差別是影響雅思英語收費的主要原因，價位高低都有。學員可以按照自身的基礎、備考期、目標、學習習慣、需求等參與班型與收費上。不同的班型和不同的課時都會對價格有一定的影響，但我們會對每一位來到這里學習的小伙伴進行系統的測試，并由老師幫助學員進行系統解析，讓大家了解其整體基礎，明確未來學習規劃。

　　我們都知道雅思寫作的要求：語法，詞匯，連貫性;不要有細小的語法錯誤;運用多樣的單詞和詞匯;運用復雜的句型，包括各種從句、倒裝句和獨立主格結構;注重連詞的使用等等。所有這些，只不過是為了讓我們在寫作上能夠多得那么半分或者一分。但是，如果我們僅僅將目光停留在這些上，寫作的高分就永遠遙不可及。因為雅思考試考的是考生在英語國家學習和生活的能力，換言之，一切都是以交流溝通為準繩的。雅思9分的定義是：像母語者一樣地交流。所以，很大程度上說，雅思考的是我們說的、寫的夠不夠像母語者一樣，或者說，我們的表達夠不夠地道。

　　但是我們的問題就在這里：我們關注的是我們的作文里寫了多少復雜的句子，用了多少復雜的單詞;卻很少想一想：這個詞用在這里合不合適，這個句子表達這個意思會不會過于冗長，這樣的語法結構所體現出來的語氣適不適合這篇文章。

　　因此，雅思寫作的高分秘訣，不在于背多少單詞，掌握多少句子，而在于我們能不能夠恰當地使用這些單詞和句子。為了達到恰到好處地使用單詞和句子的境界，我們可以做這么幾件事情：

　　1. 背單詞的時候搞清楚單詞的感情色彩、慣用語境以及在其他語境中的替換詞。單詞與單詞是不用的，有些單詞有貶義的色彩，而有些單詞較為中性。有些單詞的出現代表語境比較輕松，而有些單詞只在學術文章中才會出現。這種情況在英語中是很普遍的，甚至一個字母的改變都會帶來這種差別。例如在英文名字中，ERIC和ERIK發音相同，但是后者更有一些邪惡的意味，所以大家都用前者。

　　2. 多寫文章，并將自己的文章與范文進行比對。相信很多考生都做過這個事情，但是現在重點不一樣。我們對比的目的是找出來表達不一致的地方，并且深入思考為什么不一致。例如，在英語中主語通常不會太長，如果有復雜的從句作主語，那么這個主語一般會挪到句子末尾，避免頭重腳輕的情況。但是，漢語由于語法結構的限制，很難做到這一點，因此我們在寫英語作文時，就有可能寫出帶著長長的主語的句子，然而這是完全不符合英語的習慣的。多多進行對比而不是盲目背句型，才明白自己的差距所在。

　　3. 多讀原文。網絡的好處在于提供給我們一個空前便捷的信息平臺，我們要好好利用。如果有時間，多上網看看英美人士寫出來的文章究竟是什么樣子。別小看這每天看一點的功夫，如果我們真的用心分析，堅持下來寫作一定會突飛猛進。讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神，這句話不管對中文還是英文，都是有效的。
