Why you get stuck
The usual causes:
- Writing everyone when the example covers only some.
- Hedging every line with may until there is no position.
- Dropping the claim at the first counterexample.

Each comes with an example. Revise your draft against them.
- Name who. Example: Most school leavers who want professional jobs benefit from university.
- Add a condition. Example: If the school provides a quiet room, a longer break helps.
- State the exception. Example: …, except for students who commute long distances.
- If the reason is strong, keep the strong claim and say why.
- Check: who ____; condition ____; exception ____; what I meant ____.
What this Fogport level makes you do
"Do you mean everyone", 7–10 minutes. Pick 2–4 of your own sentences. The Council gives a counterexample; decide whether it falls inside your claim, then narrow, add a condition, or keep the sentence and rebuild the reason.

Examples that do not support
举了例子，考官还是觉得论证弱？常见原因是例子太小、观点太大。这里有四个改法：说明机制、缩小观点、补一句回扣、删掉无关例子。常见的原因有这几种：。
Stable Position
雅思写作 Task 2 评分的核心是 Task Response。想拿到 6.5 及以上，必须在炫技之前确保整篇文章立场绝对稳定。坚持了很久的错误习惯，是时候被纠正了。
Task 2 paragraph order
两个理由都不错，先写哪个？段落顺序乱，常常是因为每段要做什么没想清楚。给每段定一个任务，再写一句承接，顺序就清楚了。附一道排序小题。常见的原因有这几种：。
Chinese position drift
雅思大作文立场漂移常发生在 discuss both views、agree disagree 和金钱幸福题。先诊断标准是否稳定。先看原文证据，再决定下一步改什么。
Problem solution sample
雅思问题解决类范文不要只背模板。先把 problem、cause、solution 一一配对，检查方案有没有执行者、动作和结果；再回到自己的原稿，只重写断开的那一组原因—方案。
