参加过雅思考试的同学们都知道，雅思考试是从听、说、读、写4个方面来考查考生们的语言使用水平，题型也主要针对听、说、读、写4个部分。据了解，大部分考生都认为这4个部分是独立的，然而实际上并非如此。具体来说，雅思阅读和雅思写作的关系最为密切，据此也就有了“阅写不分家”的说法。南京朗阁雅思培训的老师如是说，考生们如果在雅思考试复习准备的过程中能够将雅思阅读和雅思写作结合起来，双管齐下，那么复习的效果提高就很明显了。
烤鸭们在复习的过程中注意将阅读与写作的话题相结合
经常听很多考生在写雅思作文的过程中反馈，没有思路，无内容可写;还有一些考生，在做雅思阅读题目的过程中，经常抱怨文章看不懂，不知所云。实际上很多雅思阅读文章和雅思大作文话题类似，倘若考生在准备考试的过程中能把两者很好地结合，就不会出现作文没有思路，阅读不知所云的情况了，因为烤鸭们可以运用写作中所积累的知识，猜出类似话题的阅读文章中的内容，同样也可以运用雅思阅读文章中的内容来构思大作文。
