Why you get stuck
The usual causes:
- One person's story used to prove everyone.
- The example tells a story but never links back.
- Forcing an example the paragraph does not need.
- Writing an imagined example as if it were research.

- Shrink the claim to the example's size: everyone → students who need quiet rest.
- Fill in: reason ____; example ____; it shows ____; it does not show ____.
- Delete an example that cannot carry the point.

Task 2 reasons and examples
雅思大作文理由和例子要形成 claim-because-example-so what 的链条，避免例子很长但不支撑观点。背素材容易把段落写成故事，而不是论证。
Overclaiming
all、everyone、always 不是禁词，问题在于理由撑不住。这里给你三种收法：说清对象、补上条件、换更硬的理由，也提醒你别全篇都用 may。
Chinese general examples
雅思大作文例子太泛时，不要继续加长度。先诊断例子是否回到 topic sentence。问题通常不是缺一篇范文，而是还没看清自己的作文为什么一直被说不够清楚。
Chinese Task 2 examples
雅思大作文例子要连接 reason 和 consequence，避免只列名人、国家或个人经历。先写 claim 和 reason，再决定例子。不要先找例子再硬套观点。
Family essay
雅思大作文家庭类作文要处理家长教育、儿童行为、学校责任和社会影响之间的关系。先把大作文题材拆成命令词、讨论对象、责任主体、例子范围和可评分的主体段展开。重点不是背同一个万能素材。
