如果我们能在雅思写作中加入一些名人言论，那我们的作文论证自然会更具说服力。如果加入的内容更是当今政要们的一些讲话，那在雅思考官的眼中，我们不仅英语能力胜任，同时还对世界时事颇为关注，那考官对我们的印象分数，自然大大增加。 以下是奥巴马总统于统11月16日的讲话，我们来看一看，总统的演说能否应用到我们的作文题中。

在雅思写作考试中，曾有考到富国是否要帮助发展中或者尚待发展的国家和地区的考题，如：

Should rich countries offer assistance to those underdeveloped and undeveloped ones?

总统讲话中则提到了富国提供帮助的好处：他认为当今世界就是一个相互联系的地球村，该举使得双方受益，无论是帮助方还是接受帮助方。

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 people's 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.

I've 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.

总统也提到了体育发展对于全人类的意义，同样，这个内容可以运用于以下这个考题：

Why it is important to develop sports?

总统讲话内容：

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.
