　　One of the most difficult challenges you will face in Academic Writing Test is being able to respond to the Task 1 and the Task 2 questions appropriately. In this book you will be guided to produce the kind of writing that is required.
　　Grammar is very important. You will learn the most common verbs and how to use them as well as the correct grammatical structures for the various language functions that you will need to answer Task 1 (comparing, contrasting, etc) and Task 2 (evaluating, discussing, giving opinions, etc).
　　You will learn how to link your ideas together fluently and how to organise your writing into coherent paragraphs.
　　Specific vocabulary is targeted for Task 1 to enable you to write about data, trends and changes. In addition, typical vocabulary related to common Task 2 topics is introduced.

　　序二：
　　Dear Student,
　　Thank you for choosing to study for the IELTS with New Oriental.
　　This book is the long anticipated result of a close cooperation between New Oriental and international IELTS experts to develop our own IELTS training materials. We believe it offers a different approach, with the following features:
　　First of all, the language used is likely what you will encounter in a real classroom or work setting while living abroad. The setting of each dialogue is also consistent with how you might encounter English as used by native speakers in their own country.
　　Also, under the guidance of renowned professor Rod Ellis, our partner international research team has delivered a proven methodology for ensuring the intended acquisition of needed skills for IELTS test takers in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
　　And most importantly, this book incorporates ten years of IELTS training experience by the very best teachers at New Oriental, and therefore has been customized to suit the needs of Chinese students.
　　I sincerely hope that together with these materials New Oriental teachers can make your IELTS classroom fruitful and rewarding. Enjoy your learning time with New Oriental!
