【A23】A是指教育类,“2”表示第2类话题,“3”表示此话题下第三个题目。
以上题库的编码来自吴冬老师编著的内部资料《雅思写作预测题库全解》。
同时,表格中题目后带“+”号的如“A92+”表示是新题,“-”号表示题库中有十分接近的题。
AD 代表Advantages and disadvantages/ positive or negative题型
DG代表Discuss both views题型
未备注代表是agree or disagree 题型
一、题型分析
“Agree or disagree”题型是前三个月的,有一统江湖之势,75%的题目都是这种题型。考察力度之大简直是,所以这类题型一定是各位同学的重中之重。
其他题型如“利弊题”/ “positive or negative”、“discuss both views”,每个月只出现一个。虽然“报告类及混合类”季度尚未出现,不代表它不重要,一定会出现后面的月份中,所以对于此类题型同学们不可掉以轻心。
根据往年的数据,Agree题型一般在20个题目左右,其他3大类题型一般分别考察8-10个,笔者猜测今年估计一会延续这个趋势。
二、话题分析
教育类,科技类和社会类是雅思大作文的三巨头。从季度的分析看到,社会类话题考察了5次之多,几乎占了半壁江山。科技类2题加教育类1题,瓜分了1/4的份额。除了文化及全球化类还未考到,其他的话题都有涉及。从往年经验看,文化类话题考察频率并不低,所以同学们要关注文化类话题。

三、大作文备考建议
首先要打好基础,熟悉各种题型的基本思路和模板,千万不能“agree or disagree”与“discuss both views”题型的模板。
其次考试一定要注意审题!审题!审题!
再次,多读多背范文,学习考官范文里的地道的词句和搭配。
四.小作文简析
从数据类小作文的统计(共11场考试)来看:
柱状图和往年一样,依旧“独得恩宠”,此外表格受到考官的“冷落”,线图则有“回暖”的趋势,下个季度也应该相差不多,出题重点可能会放在柱状图以及线图上。
根据上面的统计来看,数据类小作文中的动静态图大约各占一半,这也符合每年雅思官方命题的规律,所以无论动态图还是静态图,大家在复习时都不能忽略。
非数据类小作文(共1场)统计如下
很明显,这一季度雅思考官并没有像去年那样“丧心病狂”,地图只考了一次,而流程图并没有出现,但是大家也不能忽视它们,考前依旧要认真复习。
