　　1. More is less. A very common mistake is to answer in more words than instructed. If the task says "Not more than 3 words", answering in 4 or more words will definitely cost marks.

　　不能超过规定的字数。一个常见的错误是答案超过要求的数字。如果试题要求“不超过3个单词”，使用4个或更多单词会导致分数丢失。

　　2. Less is less. The length of a written task is crucial. When instructions mention a minimal number of words (250 for essay, 150 for report or letter), it means that any work shorter than required will be penalized.

　　不得少于规定的字数。严格要求写作部分的字数。当提问者提到至少字数（作文250字、报告或信函150字）时，这意味着低于规定字数的将被扣分。

　　3. Longer essay doesn't mean better mark. Another common misconception is that longer essays score better in IELTS. Not only is this a myth, but also a dangerous one. Writing a long essay can indirectly cost marks, because the chances of making mistakes increase with the number of words and sentences.

　　写得越多，分数就越高。另一个常见的误解是，在雅思考试中，文章写得越长，分数就越多。这种想法不仅不现实，而且危险。长篇文章也会间接导致失分，因为随着单词和句子数量的增加，错误的概率也会增加。

　　4. Changing the subject is unacceptable. Every so often a student is asked to write on topic, that he doesn't understand. To avoid the disaster of missing a whole task they decide to write on a slightly – or entirely - different topic. The sad fact is that no matter how beautiful the submitted work is, the wrong topic means zero score. Another similar pitfall is to omit parts of the given topic or ignore the guidelines in your work. Every point the topic refers to needs to be covered because the examiners will be actually counting them.

　　主题不能改变。学生们经常被要求写一个他们不理解的主题。为了防止他们无话可说，他们决定写一个稍微不同的主题——或完全不同的主题。令人沮丧的是，无论他们最终提交的文章写得多好，离题都意味着零分。另一个常见的错误是错过了主题的一部分，或者没有注意到文章中的参考信息。我们应该涉及主题中包含的每一个知识点，因为它们会被一个一个地测量出来。

　　5. Good memory can get you in trouble. Having seen that the topics sometimes repeat, "smart" students with good memory decide to memorize essays. This is a terrible mistake to make because the examiners are trained to look for memorized essays and have firm instructions to disqualify such works on the spot.

　　良好的记忆有时不是一件好事。当你看到重复的问题时，“聪明”和良好的记忆学生会选择记住这些文章。这是一个严重的错误，因为它们都是通过培训的，他们可以看到你背诵了哪些文章，并且无疑可以当场取消你的考试资格。

　　6. Accent is not important. Pronunciation is.! IELTS, being a test for non-native English speakers can't penalize people for having an accent. The problem here is that not everyone knows the difference between speaking with an accent and mispronouncing the words. No matter how strong of an accent a person has, the words are to be pronounced correctly or it will cost marks.

　　口音不重要，发音很重要！雅思作为非英语母语考试，不会因为口音问题而惩罚考生。问题是，并不是每个人都能区分口音和错误发音的区别。不管一个人的口音有多重，只要发音正确，就不会被扣分。
