Features: The publication of this new book was precisely for this purpose. It is divided into two parts—upper and lower—comprising four sections based on the genres of IELTS writing. The General Training module includes a letter section and an essay section, while the Academic module includes a chart section and an essay section. In terms of timing, the book selects the essence of IELTS writing questions from each month in the second half of 2004, in chronological order from July to December. The accompanying CD-ROM at the back of the book contains the essence of questions from January to June. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this book is an "annual" for IELTS writing in 2004. It not only accurately records the various types of IELTS writing questions in mainland China that year but also comprehensively demonstrates the entire process of how to effectively tackle IELTS writing—from analyzing themes and keywords to rich vocabulary expression, from original high-scoring model essays to step-by-step structural analysis. It is very similar to the ancient Chinese idiom story "Butcher Ding Carves an Ox." I believe this unique approach to essay analysis will undoubtedly bring immense benefits to numerous IELTS test-takers. Looking at the overall trend of IELTS writing in 2004, it is not difficult to identify three major characteristics: first, diversity; second, the "weird question phenomenon"; and third, "social depth."
