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。以下是奥巴马总统的一次讲话，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：
Shouldrichcountriesofferassistancetothoseunderdevelopedandundevelopedones?
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。

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：
Whyitisimportanttodevelopsports?
总统讲话内容：
Andin1979,theconnectionsamongourpeoplewerelimited.Today,weseethecuriosityofthoseping-pongplayersmanifestedinthetiesthatarebeingforgedacrossmanysectors.
YaoMingisjustonesignalofoursharedloveofbasketball.
我们都知道环境问题是雅思议论文中一个比较热门的考题，我们曾经遇到过：
Theenvironmentalproblemsarebingworse.Whatcanwedotohelptomakeitbetter?/Somepeoplesaythatsolvingenvironmentalproblemsshouldonlybethegovernmentconcern,paniesandindividualscanhardlymakeanyeffort.Whatisyouropinion?
总统讲话中关于环境的内容还是比较多的，总统认为中国和美国作为两个世界大国，应该在环境问题的解决上起到领导和主导作用。政府应当首当其冲的站在一个积极保护环境的立常

讲话中总统还运用了美国本土的俚语：Idon'tknowifthere'sasimilarsayinginChina--wehaveasaying:"Youmadeyourbed,nowyouhavetosleepinit."而这句话用在雅思犯罪类的作文里是再贴切不过的了，类似于中文的“咎由自缺。
在总统讲话中，还有多处提到了教育问题，文化融合问题，科技进步问题，这些问题都和雅思议论文密切相关，不失为一篇好的学习写作的背景文章。
