中國人寫的雅思作文有結構但語言不夠地道；native speaker寫的文章夠地道，但不夠雅思！因此，市面上總找不到完美的雅思例文。
此次，我特別邀請我的美國朋友（同樣研究和教授雅思）根據我的需要寫了一些文章，這里逐一貼出來，讓大伙推薦一下，呵呵。。。
Children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some feel that the children of low income families are better equipped to deal with difficulties posed by the real world when they grow up and they also believe the privileged children of wealthy families are less fit to deal with these difficulties . The implications and veracity1 of this argument seem self-evident, but in fact require closer examination. （ 58words ）
點評： 1+ 1 模式，最后 1 句為主題句。此段的主題句稍微有點特殊，它的確否定了前面所提到的看法，從而表達出了我們的看法，除此之外還引出了下文。尤其是最后半句： but in fact require closer examination ，感覺是在拋磚引玉。
The popular wisdom is that children of poorer families learn early on the value of a buck2, and are thus naturally better suited to stretching moneywhen times get tough in adulthood3. Inversely4, the children of wealthy families, thoseborn with a silver spoon in their mouths, are believed to be completely ignorant of the value of money, having had everything provided for them in their youth and oftentimes erroneously expecting the same situation in adulthood. They are believed to be prone5 to overspending and financial irresponsibility. This belief, though logical, overlooks one key point which is , of course, education. （100words）
點評： 1 +3 模式，第 1 句是主題句。請注意，從此段的內容來看，這是個讓步段（即剖析自己并不贊成的看法）。雖然 4 段論的作文的主體段是兩面討論，但本人還是喜歡如此的寫作，即主體段的看法還是有側重的，把讓步段放在前面，最后 1 句話引出下一段，如此過度地非常自然，而且我們的看法也比較明確！
The basis of this argument is , of course, knowing the value of money, and the idea that children of the poor know this, and those of the wealthy do not . Who though, is in a better position to teach their children the value of money; someone skilled in earning and keeping it, the wealthy parent, or someone who can not seem to acquire it, the poor parent? Both wealthy and poor children are equally likely to acquire an education in money, whether it is formal, or in the school of hard knocks. Conversely, both children are as likely to ignore this education. （101words）
點評：這段的內容感覺寫得不夠直接，還是在剖析他們看法的漏洞！請注意，前面讓步段已經這么寫過了，那樣這一段最好是正面地論證我們的看法，如此從內容上來講更 convincing 一點！除此之外，需要說明的是，大伙發現作者的內容還是有肯定深度，但這是要有肯定的英語功底才行的！假如英語功底不可以的話，建議內容不要寫太深，由于那樣容易導致考官看不明白你在怎么說！
A poor child may believe that one can get along, if not as easily, without wealth. A wealthy child may be well trained by a parent steeped in the knowledge of money management; the key to developing this skill is education.
點評：最后一段有點像是提出解決這個問題的方法，即 education. 它沒像傳統的結尾段那樣簡單的重申我們的看法。
總結之總結：
全文的看法有待揣摩，作者非常明顯是不贊成題目的說法，即 Children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. 但作者自己是更偏向沒錢人家的孩子呢，還是富人家的孩子呢？！依據文章來看，作者是中立，他所重視的是他們所同意的教育。In other words，整篇文章又是一次中立的寫法。在雅考慮試中，這種寫法常常用，還是很好用的，大伙可以學習一下。除此之外，文章中有不少好詞好句，尤其是長句，值得模仿一下。
此文9分。
