Quick exercise
Which link sentence actually connects them?
Topic: a longer lunch break. Paragraph A: rest improves afternoon focus. Paragraph B: schools have limited space. Order: A → B.
- A. Moreover, space is another important factor.
- B. Even if a longer break improves focus, it only works when students have somewhere quiet to rest.

Writing guides
按正在写的题目查找雅思写作指南：小作文图型、overview 与数据取舍，大作文题型、立场与主体段展开，以及批改后的同题重写步骤。每篇指南都要求你回到自己的作文验证一个具体改动。
IELTS Writing linking words
雅思写作连接词不是越多越好。先判断相邻句子之间是真正的因果、结果、转折、让步、例证、递进还是比较，再选择 however、therefore 等准确标记关系。若删掉连接词后句序仍然混乱，问题通常在观点推进或段落功能；应先重写 topic sentence 与下一句的逻辑，再精简多余连接词，并检查整段是否自然连贯。
Task 2 topic sentence
雅思大作文主题句不是段落标题，而是一个清楚、可证明、能回应题目的判断。先把问题拆成一个卡分点、一条诊断证据和一个下一版重写目标。问题越小，重写越容易真正聚焦。
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。
Task 2 question analysis
雅思大作文审题要先拆题型、命令词、讨论对象和限制条件，避免偏题和立场漂移。先把范文、模板句、审题、逻辑、词汇或语法问题连接到一个可重写验证的步骤。重点不是背一个答案。
