雅思写作对于字数方面的要求仍是十分严厉的，小作文的话是有必要150字的，而大作文的话是不少于250个字，作文的要求也就仅仅给了下限罢了，许多考生

都觉得写多一些就能够了，那么到底写多少呢？接下来就让辛达雅思代报小编为您介绍雅思作文字数。

How many words do you need to write for IELTS? The short answer is 250 for the essay and 150 for the task 1 report. This is essential information because 

you can lose a whole band score if you do not write enough words. If you are concerned or new to IELTS, I suggest you read through the following points.

Repeating the question

If you repeat the wording of the question, the examiner may not include those words in the final word count. What this means is that you should not take 

whole sentences and phrases from the question. You can borrow single words: they may well be the right word to use and it would be pointless looking for

 another word that was not exactly correct.

　　重复问题的字数不算!因此千万不要照抄整个题目~~ 除非原题中有一两个无法找其他词代替的，或许说是核心词，那么能够保留。

Let’s look at a question to see what you can and can’t do: ”Some people argue that the government should give every unemployed person a mobile phone 

and should make sure they have access to the Internet. They believe this is the best way of using public money to reduce the problem of unemployment. To 

what extent do you agree or disagree?”

Here you could of course repeat the words “government” “unemployed” “the internet” and “mobile phone”: these are simply the correct terms to use. But 

what you should avoid is writing ” I agree that the government should give every unemployed person a mobile phone and should make sure they have access 

to the internet”. This is simple copying.

Repeating yourself

In the same way, if you repeat large bits of your essay, the examiner may not count those words. The key point to remember is that it is really quality and not

 quantity that counts – do not repeat yourself, just to get to the word limit.

　　请各位烤鸭留意：大量重复自己的话，也不算在字数内!这是变相地评质量分~~试想看一篇文章自始至终仅仅重复几句话，肯定不会是好文章~

All words are words

Sometimes people ask what is a word. Small words like “a” and “is” are still words. A contracted word like “isn’t” is probably going to be counted as one word

 and not two. Generally speaking, however, you are not going to use contracted words in your IELTS writing – with the exception of a less formal letter in 

General IELTS.

　　所有词都算数，可是雅思作文千万要杜绝缩写词，那样太不正式啦!一旦写了必扣分!

Do not waste time counting words – count lines

Time is your enemy in IELTS writing. Whatever you do, do not waste time counting all the words you have written, there are far more important things to 

check. Rather what you should do is to count the number of words you normally write in a line and then multiply that by the number of lines you have written.

So if you normally write 12 words to the line, you need to write 23/5 lines in your essay.

　　时间就是生命!别在考场上一个字一个字地数了，按行来核算!

Do not write too many words – spend more time planning and checking

Some candidates write 300 words or more in their essay. There is no deduction for this, but it is not a good idea unless you are a very high quality candidate. 

There are no prizes for quantity, only quality. The time you spent writing the extra 30/40 words would be much better spent either planning your essay or 

checking and improving its quality.

　　写作并不是字数越多越好~假如你能够在规定时间内写到300个字以上，除非你的英语相当好!否则的话仍是花点时间来组织全文或许查看过错吧!究竟质量仍

是比数量重要~

A sensible target?

It’s quality not quantity that really counts. So my suggestion would be to aim for between 250-275 words in the essay and 150 – 170 words in the report. This

 means that you have some margin for error.

雅思作文字数：小作文150字到170字，大作文250字到275字。
