Grammatical Range & Accuracy for IELTS Score 5.5是這樣的:
i. Use only a limited range of structure;
ii. Simple sentences are generally accurately constructed;
iii. Common grammatical errors are accepted and punctuation may be faulty;
iv. Errors can cause some difficulty for the reader.
Grammatical Range & Accuracy for IELTS Score 7卻是這樣的:
i. Use a variety of frequent error-free sentence patterns;
ii. Produce complex structure of a sentence ;
iii. May make few errors.
從IELTS要求得知，IELTS Score 5.5的語法要求是: 只要對simple sentence有較有層次的準確運用，那就可以了。Examiner容許你的Grammar有Common mistakes，不介意你用來用去都是limited range of structure。但是，IELTS Score 7呢? 語法能準確運用是基礎而已，Examiner好看重你能否用Complex Sentence Structure的功力並Sentence patterns的變化。換句話說，就是【句型+Definer形容語+Modifier修飾語】的混合應用能力。
