面对雅思七分的要求，我们已经没有选择。我们所能做的就是攻克难关，练习英文，让我们最弱项之写作发扬广大。写作一直很难，为什么？就是因为我们对单词的运用没有驾轻就熟，就是因为我们的词汇量是在麻木地增长，虽然知道很多，但是如何巧妙地运用它们？如何让考官更加愕然地看待你的文章？如何写出那带有古代英文的味道？如果使用那英文里的外来语？如果更加准确地使用英文单词？如何加速记忆那长长而生涩的英文单词？如何去深挖那玄妙的英文词根？如何正确的引用英文的谚语和格言，从而是文章动人心弦？如何解决画鬼画人难的问题？（对于人类思维和举止的形容词太多了）如何取得雅思八分或者是更高的分？

有人说，太难了，雅思七分简直就是不可能的。我有一个问题，请你回答；如果一个人，被移民局抓走，面临遣送回祖籍国，后来被关进了疯人院。你觉得飞跃疯人院和澳洲监狱，而且拿到澳洲PR的几率大，还是雅思七分的几率大？

请你准确地，备足勇气地回答我！如果你觉得雅思七分相对于越狱和飞跃疯人院的可能性还要小。请你用鼠标点击滚出我的帖子，这里不招待懦夫！

第一讲：字典的活用

首先，在随着你需要一本好的英文字典。如果没有一本好的字典，请你用鼠标点击退出，因为，在这里没有一本好的英文字典，你无法跟上这个课程。选择一本好的英文字典是艺术，啥？中英文双解的字典，扔了，把它扔给小学生吧。雅思七分不是要求小学生的。当你选择一本字典，要求是它的解释清楚，例句详细，最好是取自名人名言；在选择英文字典的时候，请你选择英文版的，就是那种英文解释英文的，我向大家推荐LONGMAN ACTIVE DICTIONAY或者是WORLD BOOK DICTIONARY，后者的例句几乎是能采用名人名言就采用名人名言。好了，废话不说，现在，请大家跟我进入这比较容易的第一讲。
