如果我們能在雅思寫作中加入一些名人言論，那我們的作文論證自然會更具說服力。如果加入的內(nèi)容更是當(dāng)今政要們的一些講話，那在雅思考官的眼中，我們不僅英語能力勝任，同時(shí)還對世界時(shí)事頗為關(guān)注，那考官對我們的印象分?jǐn)?shù)，自然大大增加。以下是奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的一次講話，我們來看一看，總統(tǒng)的演說能否應(yīng)用到我們的作文題中。

在雅思寫作考試中，曾有考到富國是否要幫助發(fā)展中或者尚待發(fā)展的國家和地區(qū)的考題，如：

Shouldrichcountriesofferassistancetothoseunderdevelopedandundevelopedones?

總統(tǒng)講話中則提到了富國提供幫助的好處：他認(rèn)為當(dāng)今世界就是一個(gè)相互聯(lián)系的地球村，該舉使得雙方受益，無論是幫助方還是接受幫助方。

I'vesaidmanytimesthatIbelievethatourworldisnowfundamentallyinterconnected.Thejobswedo,theprosperitywebuild,theenvironmentweprotect,thesecuritythatweseek--allofthesethingsareshared.

總統(tǒng)也提到了體育發(fā)展對于全人類的意義，同樣，這個(gè)內(nèi)容可以運(yùn)用于以下這個(gè)考題：

Whyitisimportanttodevelopsports?

總統(tǒng)講話內(nèi)容：

Andin1979,theconnectionsamongourpeoplewerelimited.Today,weseethecuriosityofthoseping-pongplayersmanifestedinthetiesthatarebeingforgedacrossmanysectors.

YaoMingisjustonesignalofoursharedloveofbasketball.

我們都知道環(huán)境問題是雅思議論文中一個(gè)比較熱門的考題，我們曾經(jīng)遇到過：

Theenvironmentalproblemsarebingworse.Whatcanwedotohelptomakeitbetter?/Somepeoplesaythatsolvingenvironmentalproblemsshouldonlybethegovernmentconcern,paniesandindividualscanhardlymakeanyeffort.Whatisyouropinion?

總統(tǒng)講話中關(guān)于環(huán)境的內(nèi)容還是比較多的，總統(tǒng)認(rèn)為中國和美國作為兩個(gè)世界大國，應(yīng)該在環(huán)境問題的解決上起到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和主導(dǎo)作用。政府應(yīng)當(dāng)首當(dāng)其沖的站在一個(gè)積極保護(hù)環(huán)境的立常

講話中總統(tǒng)還運(yùn)用了美國本土的俚語：Idon'tknowifthere'sasimilarsayinginChina--wehaveasaying:"Youmadeyourbed,nowyouhavetosleepinit."而這句話用在雅思犯罪類的作文里是再貼切不過的了，類似于中文的“咎由自缺。

在總統(tǒng)講話中，還有多處提到了教育問題，文化融合問題，科技進(jìn)步問題，這些問題都和雅思議論文密切相關(guān)，不失為一篇好的學(xué)習(xí)寫作的背景文章。
