有一段时间没去过麦当劳了，昨天去发现所有的items都涨价了，而且过去有的套餐给中号薯条和可乐现在被换成了小号。runaway inflation 通货膨胀！苦了普通老百姓（average Joes)，什么都涨就是工资不涨，买了股票的上班族更是看着自己本来就不多的财产缩水一半。
１ 作文用词真的不要太难，有难度的词汇和句子一篇文章能用出来５－８个就挺不错了，绝对不是每句话都要有大词。重点还是提高用词句和语法的准确度，要敢写，复杂句不要追求长难，写对了比什么都重要（好好看看十天雅思写作第５天）其实考官范文里面也有废话或者转圈说的话，但是人家敢写;
２ 模板真的不要太彪悍，它只是一框架帮你提高速度和控制结构，完全可以突破，不能把它看成是圣经一样不能动，自己能写出来的地方完全可以自己写，毕竟也学了这么多年英语了;
4 没事儿的时候多看看雅思写作的真题，动脑筋想一想。其实有个雅思真的挺好的，它会逼着你去想很多你从来没想过的世界上的事儿。十天后面附录有过去三年的真题，这个帖子下面我再贴出来今年的题。
