What to confirm first
Mark question type, position, two topic sentences, and the function of examples first.
Writing step diagnosis
Sample essays should be broken into explainable diagnostic evidence.
Connect the sample, template sentence, prompt-analysis, logic, vocabulary, or grammar issue to one step that can be verified through rewriting. The point is not memorising one answer.
Chinese long-tail pages need concrete writing steps so they do not become thin content.
Common mistake
Memorising sample sentences can misfit position, examples, and logic in a new prompt.
Diagnostic evidence
If you cannot explain why the sample is strong, it has not become training material.
How to revise the next version
Imitate only one structural move, such as thesis or reason-example-so what.
- Whether the sample answers the prompt
- Whether examples support the claim
- Whether sentences are transferable
How to read a sample essay: recover the decisions
The value of a Band 7+ sample lies in the chain of decisions behind its sentences: why this position over the easier one? Why does paragraph two explain the mechanism before the example? Why does the concession only concede halfway? Memorised sentences leave these decisions behind, so the next new prompt starts from zero again. Annotate each paragraph with "what the writer did here and why" — worth more than copying ten nice sentences.
Worked example: four functional sentences in a Band 7 body paragraph
"Remote work reduces urban congestion. (claim: supports the position) When employees commute only twice a week, peak-hour traffic drops measurably. (mechanism: why the claim holds) Amsterdam recorded a 15% fall in rush-hour volume after flexible-work policies spread. (evidence: one is enough) This directly addresses the overcrowding that critics of city growth worry about. (link back to the prompt)" Each sentence has one job; none is decoration. Most Band 6 paragraphs jump from claim straight to example — the missing mechanism sentence is exactly what "underdeveloped ideas" means.
Three things you train beyond the sample
Three abilities come only from your own practice: generating a position for a new prompt, chaining your own ideas into mechanisms, and spotting your own recurring grammar habits. All three can only be trained on your own writing. The efficient loop: dissect one sample for decisions, write your own essay, then diagnose which decision failed to happen.
- Position: can you commit to a defensible stance in 5 minutes
- Mechanism: is there an explaining sentence between claim and example
- Habit errors: does the same grammar slip appear three essays in a row
Four self-check questions against any sample
Put your essay beside a same-prompt sample and ask only four questions: which sentence carries the position in each? How many ideas per body paragraph in each? What follows the example in the sample — and is your example the dead end of the paragraph? What does the sample conclusion do — and does yours just repeat the opening? These four map onto the most common Band 6-to-7 boundaries across the four criteria.

Writing sample essay analysis
雅思写作范文分析要看题目回应、段落推进、词汇准确性和语法控制，而不是只摘抄高级句。先把话题、范文、素材或预测题转成审题、展开、例子和重写步骤。重点不是背答案，而是写出自己的下一版。
Task 2 sample essay analysis
雅思大作文范文分析不该停在高级词和漂亮句型。先检查 thesis、topic sentence、reason、example 与 consequence 是否形成完整链条，并观察每段怎样回应命令词和稳定立场。再用范文的结构证据反查自己的提纲与作文，定位最薄弱的审题或展开步骤，完成一次自己的段落重写。
Chinese model answer
雅思写作范文用来分析任务回应、立场、段落功能、展开链和语言选择，而不是整篇背诵后套进新题。先看 thesis、topic sentence、reason、example 与 conclusion 如何共同回答命令词，再用结构证据反查自己的提纲和作文。定位最薄弱的步骤后，完成有目标的段落重写，保留自己的观点与表达。
Writing 6.5 to 7
雅思写作 6.5 到 7 不靠堆高级词。先判断是 TR、CC、LR 还是 GRA 卡住。平均处理四项会分散修复，最拖分的那一项仍然不变。先把最近三篇作文的主卡分点放在一起看。
Score gap diagnostic
雅思写作卡在 5.5/6/6.5 时，先用一篇真实作文找主卡分点、原文证据和下一步修改步骤。只看总分或四项标签，会让你下一篇仍然不知道先修哪一个动作。
