筆者案：新年雖未到來(lái)，但2006的整體雅思走勢(shì)已基本明朗了。2006年初，筆者曾撰寫過(guò)一篇短文，標(biāo)題為《從題目要求改革看2006年作文走勢(shì)與復(fù)習(xí)策略》，本文在過(guò)去的一年當(dāng)中頻繁的出現(xiàn)于國(guó)內(nèi)外各個(gè)專業(yè)論壇上，閱讀者達(dá)到數(shù)萬(wàn)人。筆者才疏學(xué)淺，撰文淺薄，能得到如此關(guān)注，實(shí)感汗顏。若這篇小文能夠?qū)Υ蠹业难潘紓淇计鸬揭稽c(diǎn)幫助作用，筆者實(shí)感欣慰。
綜觀2006年的雅思寫作，筆者總結(jié)了如下兩個(gè)特征：題目規(guī)律、難度略升。
第一部分：題目規(guī)律與重點(diǎn)總結(jié)
首先，從題目上來(lái)說(shuō)，2006年的雅思主流寫作體裁為優(yōu)劣類（34%）、同意（32%）與不同意類及討論類（18%），其它類別分?jǐn)偭似溆嗟?6%（因果類、解決方法類、綜合類等）。其次，從內(nèi)容上來(lái)說(shuō)，2006年度的主考內(nèi)容為社會(huì)類（50%）與文化教育類（31%），往年的高頻題材科技類與家庭類在今年則明顯處于下風(fēng)。眾所周知的是，2006年是雅思的改革之年，它意味著新一輪測(cè)試周期的開始。從上面的變化我們可以看到，雅思主考單位（UCLES、BC以及IDP）將其寫作測(cè)試目標(biāo)放到了與公眾生活最為密切的社會(huì)話題以及與留學(xué)生最為密切的文化教育類上來(lái)了，這與雅思改革“貼近實(shí)用”的目標(biāo)是相符合的。在2007年當(dāng)中，出題特征仍然會(huì)圍繞著這個(gè)目標(biāo)。因此，社會(huì)類與文化類下的三類主流體裁必然是大家的復(fù)習(xí)要點(diǎn)?；诖朔治?，展望2007，如下的作文題目應(yīng)該作為主要的練習(xí)重點(diǎn)：
