　　在2012年1月至6月的23场雅思考试中，作文部分整体难度系数稳定，本文将从题源，话题及题型三方面对Task 2考题进行分析总结并为广大考生提出相应备考策略。此外，文章还将对Task 1考题进行题型分析总结并提出相应备考策略。

　　一、2012上半年雅思写作Task 2总结

　　(一)题源分析

　　从题源的角度来看，大部分题目是以前题库题目的重现或调整之后的重考，两者相加占上半年总考题数量的83%(19道)，这些题目在新航道内部讲义及教材中基本都能找到原题分析及相关范文(具体可参考《雅思写作考试教程》及《新航道雅思精华讲义》)。在17%(4道)的新题中多数题目也与之前的考题有着或多或少的联系，其中多数题目只是讨论角度的改变及翻新。

　　(二)话题分析

　　从话题的角度上看，考查次数最多的是社会问题(11道)占题目总量的48%，包括年轻人与老年人相关问题的讨论(3道)、个人生活及选择问题【工作与生活的平衡(1道)、求职(1道)、邻里间的交流(1道)未来与现在的重要性(1道)及新话题抱负与成功的关系(1道)】犯罪预防(1道)、动物问题(1道)、食品问题(1道);媒体其次(4道)占了总题目数量的17%，包括新闻媒体相关问题讨论(3道)及广告的影响(1道)。其次还考查了文化艺术类题目(2道)和国际关系类题目(2道)分别占总题目数量的9%，以及旅游类题目(1道)。值得注意的是以往重点考查话题教育、科技类题目分别只出现了1道、2道，仅占了题目总量的13%。更值得引起关注的是有别于以往考试出题规律，环境类题目还没有出现考题。

　　(三)题型分析

　　从题型的角度上来看，17道题目为Argumentation类题型，其中一个观点讨论类题目为11道，两个观点讨论类题目为5道，利弊讨论类题目为1道，总体上占了74%的比例。另外还有3道Report(即现象事件分析)类题型，3道综合类题型(即Argumentation和Report类题型综合考察)。

　　二、2012下半年雅思写作Task 2备考策略

　　2012年上半年的考试题目基本延续了往年的既有模式，只要广大考生按部就班、全面准备，即可确保万无一失。为此，我们建议正在备考的同学们做到以下几点：

　　(一) 结合题库“母题”全面准备常考话题解题思路

　　首先，考生应做到熟练掌握题库“母题”常涉及话题的解题思路，即教育类、环境类、科技类、社会类、政府类、媒体类、旅游类、文化艺术类、国际关系类等话题，并整理出相关话题解题方法，做到能够从“Ideas and Logic”方面从容应对考题，争取写作时间。

　　(二) 结合题库“母题”熟练常见考试题型

　　其次，考生应熟练处理常见三大考试题型，即Argumentation, Report, 综合类题目，分析总结不同题型的审题方法及文章结构特点，做到直接、全面处理题目涉及的问题并能够合理的安排文章结构。

　　(三) 以(一)、(二)为基础学习、背诵相关段落及范文

　　然后，考生定要注意语言方面的积累，以常考话题及题型为基础，选择适合自己的文章、段落进行语言方面的学习，重点积累常见句型、话题相关的表达方式，注意谓语动词、时态及语态的学习。

　　(四) 以(一)、(二)、(三)为基础，大量练习、模拟考场写作

　　最后，考生需对前面三点进行大量练习。注意选择多种话题、题型，尽量应用(三)中准备的语言进行写作。可根据个人情况，开始时适当延长写作时间再逐渐缩短所需时间，并且一定要保证足量的考试模拟限时写作练习。 如写作中出现问题，再回到前三步进行查缺补漏。
