06年雅思写作风云指向(中)

三种常考话题

作文是许多雅思考生心中永远的痛，凯德雅思提出“十篇作文搞定雅思六分”（以下称“十篇”）帮助许多学生实现了有效率的提高写作水平和分数。

教学方法的革新永远是学生的福音，作为新颖的教学方法，“十篇”教学法的第一阶段是扎实基础，通过专门的写作词汇整理学习，结构、技巧、论证的方法掌握了解，和阅读有效的范围，每个学生都能够得到长足的进步，当然一切的前提是有效，所有的基础工作都是建立在凯德教研组研究的基础上，学生所学习的内容都是最新最有效的部分，这种效率的工作让不少学生克服了作文的病痛，取得了高分。

当然，在正式练习写作的阶段，不同基础的学生将在老师的指导下完成不同主题、不同篇幅的文章，这些文章都是经过严格的筛选，由于每次考试的预测内容不同，每个班级的学生拿到的文章甚至略有不同。通过典型性文章的写作练习，也就是说写文章很有可能就是即将考到的文章，学生掌握每种文章的方法，也学习了举一反三的能力，就能够轻松应对雅思作文考试。

那么2006年究竟考什么？学生要注意什么？在本篇中，我做一个大致的勾勒，具体考试内容预测还要在每场考试之前。

在说完了写作提问部分的规律后，就该谈一下话题部分的情况了。写作部分虽然出题很灵活，但总结起来，有3种话题在考试中经常出现，这里举一些2005年的例子，希望学生重视这些题材和内容：

事实上，以上三种话题几乎已经占据了全部考题的一半，其重要性实在不容忽视！而我们也看到了虽然是同一个话题，但是内容却差别很大，我们通过了解这些话题只能了解雅思的出题关注重点，那么我们平时在复习的时候就要关注积累相关的例证，因为06年的变化趋势是对于论据的要求明显提高了。另外，一切文章围绕一个主题，一些例证和语言组织方法是可以“一个中心，几手准备”的，也就是可以根据不同主题灵活的将已经掌握的文章变成题目要求的文章，这种技巧在凯德雅思的课堂中会重点练习。
