雅思写作考试有着明确的字数要求，Task 1至少150字，Task2至少250字。但许多雅思考生还是会有这样的疑问，考官在评判雅思写作考卷的时候，是如何统计字数的呢？标点符号算字数吗？像‘and,’ ‘is,’ ‘that,’ ‘in,’ ‘a,’ ‘an’ ,‘the’这样的单词算字数吗？如果字数不够会扣分吗？本文就将引用雅思考纲以及一些官方发布的材料来，并结合考生的疑问，分类解释一下雅思考官评判字数的几个标准。

雅思写作的最低字数要求是什么？不到字数如何扣分？

Candidates must write at least 150 words for their Task 1 report or letter, and at least 250 words for their Task 2 essay.

Details of the level of the penalties are confidential.

照抄题目的部分算字数吗？

A group of words that he 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 underlength answer.

那对题目文字进行微小的改动可以吗？

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.

d as one word. This acts as a marking penalty for the error by the candidate.

一个单词误拼写为两个单词，怎么算字数？

Words that are normally written as one word but that he 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.

阿拉伯数字算字数吗？

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”).

有连字符或者缩写的单词如何统计字数？

Words that are hyphenated (e.g., “self-evident”) or contracted (e.g., “shouldn’t”) count as one word.

符号和缩写如何统计字数？

Words that are written as a symbol (e.g., using “&” instead of the word “and”) or as an abbreviation (e.g., writing “i.e.” instead of “that is”) count as one word.

书信中的称呼和结束语算字数吗？

Titles or headings (at the top of letters or essays, and at the beginning of paragraphs) are not included as part of an answer’s word count.
