雅思考官对开头段的重视充分的体现在雅思考试的评分标准里了。在评分标准的Task Response(TA)这一项中，考官指出了考生是否有明确的position(立场/自己观点)也是判断标准。中公雅思考试群 580217707
总体来说，考生在雅思写作中有明确的position是TA这一项达到6分的关键因素之一。纵观整篇文章，position的位置可以在两处出现：一处在开头段尾句(请注意，有的考官作文中并没有在开头段提到position,这就表明开头段可以不提到自己的立场);还有一处在整篇文章的尾段首句，作用是用来重申观点(建立的条件是开头段已经有明确的立场)或者是摆出自己明确的观点。这样一来，雅思写作的开头段和结尾段的作用不可小觑。有的考生在考试时没有时间写最后一段，也成为导致分数比较低的因素。本文的目的是让考生清楚的了解开头段和结尾段的写法，以及什么样的段落是考官青睐的。首先，来看雅思写作开头段的要素。写作开头段的组成句型一共是三句话：(1)general statement/background sentence (2)paraphrasing key sentence of the theme(3) positon. 经过重新组合，开头段有以下形式：(1)背景句 转述题目观点句 自己观点句(2)背景句 自己观点句(3)双方观点句 自己观点句(4)介绍背景，不给观点范文片段赏析：Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school, but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools, with both positive and negative outcomes. (背景句 自己观点)(剑9Test1)A problem of modern societies is the declining level of health in the general population, with conflicting views on how to tackle this worrying trend. One possible solution is to provide more sports facilities to encourage a more active lifestyle.(背景句，不给观点)(剑9Test3 Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.)In this time and age, higher education is advancing at an alarming rate. A sizable percentage of the people hold the opinion that the government should be responsible for the full tuition of college students. They claim that after graduation college students will make much contribution to the society. This argument is true to some degree. However, I am convinced that university students should support themselves for the full tuition. There are many reasons supporting my view. (背景句 转述题目一方观点 自己观点)
Now, most of the jobs in society that are high-paying, powerful, and demand a lot of responsibility are held by men. I think the government should reserve a percentage of these jobs for females. (背景句 自己观点句) 自己观点高分句型补充：1.From my perspective, I doubt the validity of this assertion. 2.As for me, I am not in the favor of the point that..... 3.Different individuals may have different reactions and their personal opinions also vary from person to person. 4.In my opinion, the possibility remains that the above views can be reconciled and can coordinate to meet the demands of both. 接下来，看看结尾段的写作要点。结尾段的写作要素如下：(1)重申首段观点，与开头段保持一致(若开头段没有明确的观点，则与主体段的论点句保持一致)(2)简明扼要地概括全文论点或展望，不要添加例子或新信息。1再次强调：就是在结尾段对自己的观点再次重复一遍，以起到强调的效果。本类方法比较适合询问你同意哪种观点或是否同意某种观点的提问。In my opinion, most parts of children’s education is virtually beyond teachers’ reaches. In a word, it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers. 或To conclude, from what has been discussed above, I tend to believe that visitors should follow local customs and conventions. It is obvious that not only the local district itself but also tourists will benefit from doing so a lot. 2. 让步：就是在结尾处做一个让步，然后在强调自己同意的某种观点。即论述某个想法虽然有不足之处，但总的来说还是利大于弊的，还是可以接受的。Of course, GM plants, like other scientific developments, may cause some problems. But I believe that, with careful regulation and control, the advantages will far outweigh the disadvantages.
