一、雅思写作的最低字数要求是什么？不到字数如何扣分？
答：Candidates must write at least 150 words for their Task 1 report or letter, and at least 250 words for their Task 2 essay. Answers under the minimum number of words are penalisedusing a sliding scale system. This means that the more an answer is under length, the greater the penalty is. Details of the level of the penalties are confidential.
二、照抄题目的部分算字数吗-和谐英语-
答：A group of words that have been copied straight from the exam paper are not included in the word count. For example, if the words “young people are often encouraged” are taken from the question paper without any change, five words are taken off the answer’s total word count. This may result in a marking penalty for an underlengthanswer.
三、那对题目文字进行微小的改动可以吗？-和谐英语-
答：Wording that has been taken from the question paper with only very small changes in the words, or in the word order, is not counted. The answer receives a marking penalty if the new total word count is now less than the minimum number of words for Task 1 or Task 2 answers.
四、既可以拼写成一个单词也可以拼写为两个单词时，怎么算字数？
答：Words that can be written as one or two words, dependingon the dictionary used or general usage, are counted as they’re written on the answer sheet. For instance, “per cent” is counted as two words, but “percent” is only counted as one word.
五、两个单词误拼写为一个单词，怎么算字数？
答：Compounds that are normally written as two words (e.g., “bus stop”) butwhich have been wrongly written as one word (“busstop”) count as only one word. Similarly, “eventhough” - the incorrect joining of the two words “even though” - is counted as one word. This acts as a marking penalty for the error by the candidate.
六、一个单词误拼写为两个单词，怎么算字数？-和谐英语-
答：Words that are normally written as one word but that have been written as two words count as only one word. For example, the examiner would count “draw backs” (written instead of the noun “drawbacks”) as only one word, not two words, because the candidate has made a mistake.
七、阿拉伯数字算字数吗？
答：Numbers (currency, percentage, temperature, distance and weight) count as one word if they are written using numbers and symbols (e.g., “17,000,000,” “17m,” “$55” and “14%”). However, they count as two or more words if they’re written using numbers and words (e.g., “17 million,” “55 dollars” and “14 percent”).-和谐英语-
