5重题莫背
Good memory can get you in trouble. Having seen that the topics sometimes repeat, "smart" students with good memory decide to memorize essays. This is a terrible mistake to make because the examiners are trained to look for memorized essays and have firm instructions to disqualify such works on the spot.
记忆力好有时并不是件好事。在看到重复出现的题目后，“聪明”又记性好的学生会选择熟记这些文章。这是一个严重的错误，因为阅卷老师都是经过培训的，他们能看出哪些文章是你背诵出来的，并且可以毋庸置疑地当场取消你的应试资格。
6正确发音
Accent is not important. Pronunciation is.! IELTS, being a test for non-native English speakers can't penalize people for having an accent. The problem here is that not everyone knows the difference between speaking with an accent and mispronouncing the words. No matter how strong of an accent a person has, the words are to be pronounced correctly or it will cost marks.
不能少于规定字数。写作板块的字数是严格要求的。当出题者提及最少字数(作文250字，报告或信件150字)，这也就意味着少于规定字数的会被扣分。
7表达方式
It is not the ideas that are important, but the way they are described in. Many students think that expressing the wrong ideas (whether it is in essay, letter or discussion) can harm their score. The truth is that no idea can be wrong and the ideas are not important on their own, it is the way they are expressed in that important.
并不是写的越多分数就越高。另一个常见的误解就是，雅思考试中，文章写得越长，分数就越多。这种想法不仅是不现实的，也是危险的。篇幅长的文章也会间接导致失分，因为，随着词句数量的增加，出现错误的几率也会上涨。
8合理写作
Connective words: the more is not always the better. Smart students know that one of the essay marking criteria are coherence and cohesion, and what better way is there to demonstrate cohesion than to use lots of connective words, right? Wrong. Overuse of connective words is a know problem, which is easily recognized and penalized by the examiners.
关联词语：更多并不一定更好。聪明的学生知道，作文的评分标准是连贯性和统一性，那么使用一堆关联词语来表示统一性是不是会更好呢?错。过度使用关联词是一个非常明显的错误，阅卷老师会轻而易举地发现并扣掉考生的分数。
