如果我們能在雅思寫作中加入一些名人言論，那我們的作文論證自然會更具說服力。如果加入的內容更是當今政要們的一些講話，那在雅思考官的眼中，我們不僅英語能力勝任，同時還對世界時事頗為關注，那考官對我們的印象分數，自然大大增加。 以下是美國總統總統於統11月16日的講話，我們來看一看，總統的演說能否應用到我們的`作文題中。
在雅思寫作考試中，曾有考到富國是否要幫助發展中或者尚待發展的國家和地區的考題，如：
Should rich countries offer assistance to those underdeveloped and undeveloped ones?
總統講話中則提到了富國提供幫助的好處：他認為當今世界就是一個相互聯絡的地球村，該舉使得雙方受益，無論是幫助方還是接受幫助方。
In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion -- today it tops over $400 billion each year. The commerce affects our peoples lives in so many ways. America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.
