很多考生认为IBT独立作文很简单，背几篇范文，看看网上ETS的185题，熟悉一下写作模版，然后再练习一下打字速度，这个部分得高分简直太easy了。但是他们实际写出来的文章真的能一次性过关吗？答案是否定的。此外，鉴于目前IBT粉丝队伍的不断壮大，我觉得还是有必要在这里指出会影响在这个部分取得高分的问题－结构不合理，以供后面考试的人参考。
考生的作文结构不合理问题，开篇段落已经给出自己了所支持的观点了，但是在写作的时候却花大量的篇幅写自己所不看好的观点。
下面我用一个具体的例子来说明这个问题：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Give reasons and examples to support your answer.
The internet will eventually make conventional education methods obsolete.
It is not deniable that the internet nowadays has been substantially changing our lifestyle, as we can do many things on-line. One of the improvements is on-line education. However, I disagree that the internet will eventually make conventional education methods obsolete, although on-line education does enjoys some advantages.
First, it is convenient to stay at home and study in front of a computer, where your teacher is just one click-away. You would not have to suffer from traffic jam as traveling is no longer required. If you unfortunately fall sick, you would lose nothing by missing school, as you could simply rest at home and resume your study whenever you recover. In short, convenience that on-line education provides cannot be beat by conventional education methods.
Second, the internet is a resourceful tool to acquire knowledge. Unlike going to school, on-line education allows you to use any powerful search engine to find relevant information at any time. You must not deny that many questions that our respectable teachers cannot answer could be hot topics on the internet. You would not only be able to know the answer, you may also be blessed with the information that how the answer has been derived.
Third, studying on-line at home would also be good for environmental protection. It is because there would be fewer vehicles on road and in turn less consumption of petrol. Given the environmental problem becomes ever more serious, the internet-based education would surely be welcomed by many countries.
Be that as it may, we cannot forget that certain features of conventional education methods are not replaceable by those of internet.
In addition to learn knowledge, a school is providing a platform for students to acquire people skill. Interaction and communication with people are better when you attend school and mingle with peers. It is said that many lads in China are suffering from communication problems as they indulge themselves in on-line games and do not meet people as we used to do prior to the era of internet.
Further, there are many courses that you can only take by conventional education methods. Physical education is one of them. To strike a balance between the development of mind and physic, students must leave their computers at home and gather to build up their bodies. No employer would want to hire someone who is genius but falls sick most of the time.
