这里的重点是 "clear"和"effective"。考官的这篇文章思路是如何做到既想得明白又交代得清楚的？其实很简单。文章所有的句子可以分为两类，一类是别人的观点，一类是自己的观点。要知道，这一项评分标准中的position是指的自己的中心观点。所以把后一类把握清楚就可以了。作者的观点在原文中保持一致，第一，强调天赋的是先天的：I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes；第二，强调天赋和训练都重要But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive；最后得到自己的结论，所有的孩子都可以接受训练，但是成就往往还需要一点天赋：any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required。这一二三点的一致性和层层递进是极其严密的逻辑。关键是，这三句话达到了在这层层递进中体现了一致性的效果，语言非常高效。实在是难得的范文。

第二项评分标准是Coherence and Cohesion，它具体包括两个部分：

1) how well the information and ideas are organised and presented, including paragraphing

2) how well the information is linked

语言的衔接包括两个：一个是句子和句子的衔接，另外一个是段和段的衔接。前者连接方法有使用代词，重复关键词，排比句，同意转述和连接词。后者分为三种不同逻辑关系：并列，递进和转折。文章中均有体现。笔者就不在此赘述了。

第三项评分标准是Lexical Resource，它具体包括三个部分：

1) the range of vocabulary used

2) how accurately it is used

3) how appropriate it is for the task

小词：Obviously, However, including, allow, via, while, do, give, extra, as

大词：frequent, differentiate, inherit, facility, comparable, exceptional, continuous

词组：are based on, associated with, plenty of, be inherited via, mutually exclusive

地道表达：The relative importance, this extra talent, allow them to excel, nature versus nurture

同义转述：children, a child, a person, individuals, students, any childliuxuepaper.com
