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。 以下是奧巴馬總統于統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系的地球村，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.

　　Ive said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected. The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek -- all of these things are shared.

　　總統也提到了體育發展對于全人類的意義，同樣，這個內容可以運用于以下這個考題：

　　Why it is important to develop sports?

　　總統講話內容：

　　And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.

　　Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball.

　　我們都知道環境問題是雅思議論文中一個比較熱門的考題，我們曾經遇到過：

　　The environmental problems are becoming worse. What can we do to help to make it better?/ Some people say that solving environmental problems should only be the government concern, companies and individuals can hardly make any effort. What is your opinion?

　　總統講話中關于環境的內容還是比較多的，總統認為中國和美國作為兩個世界大國，應該在環境問題的解決上起到領導和主導作用。政府應當首當其沖的站在一個積極保護環境的立場。

　　In the United States, I think we are learning how to develop buildings that use much less energy, that are much more energy-efficient. And I know that with Shanghai, as I traveled and I saw all the cranes and all the new buildings that are going up, its very important for us to start incorporating these new technologies so that each building is energy-efficient when it comes to lighting, when it comes to heating. And so its a terrific opportunity I think for us to learn from each other.

　　So let me give you a specific example, and that is the issue we were just discussing of climate change. The United States and China are the worlds two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm. Now, the United States, as a highly developed country, as I said before, per capita, consumes much more energy and emits much more greenhouse gases for each individual than does China. On the other hand, China is growing at a much faster pace and it has a much larger population. So unless both of our countries are willing to take critical steps in dealing with this issue, we will not be able to resolve it.

　　講話中總統還運用了美國本土的俚語：I dont know if theres a similar saying in China -- we have a saying: You made your bed, now you have to sleep in it. 而這句話用在雅思犯罪類的作文里是再貼切不過的了，類似于中文的咎由自取。

　　在總統講話中，還有多處提到了教育問題，文化融合問題，科技進步問題，這些問題都和雅思議論文密切相關，不失為一篇好的學習寫作的背景文章。
