在奥巴马总统11月16日的讲话中，我们发现了一个非常有趣的现象：总统讲话中有很多内容都和我们雅思写作考试的议论文任务有很大的关联。作为名人的言论，如果我们在写作内容中加入他的讲话内容，自然可以让我们的论证更有说服力。以下是讲话中的内容和雅思议论文中对应的内容说明。
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.
Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball.
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：
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?
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场。
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...
