2016年全年雅思考试已经全部结束,随着圣诞假期的来临,雅思考试也进入休假期。本年度中国大陆考试一共48场考试(1月9日有A、B卷),现在分别就Task1和Task2总结分析如下:
从上图可以看出,今年全年的写作Task1考试重点仍然是数据类。在总共49套题目(1月9日有A、B卷)中,数据类占了45次。而在45次数据类图表中,表格和柱图是今年的大热门,分别出现了16次和14次(共占全年考题61%)。表格和柱图的难点是数据繁复,如何在短短的20分钟内将主要信息涵盖到位以及如何有重点地选择数据仍然是广大考生比较头痛的地方。对于大多数考生而言,此类型图表很难割舍数据,并且常常会写得很啰嗦。因此对于广大考生而言,多练习数据类题目来提高在对于数据的归纳总结的能力是非常有必要的。相比较而言,往年热门的线图今年爆冷,和饼图一样只出现了6次。值得注意的是,今年饼图考察次数较往年明显增加,并且难度加大,广大考生不可掉以轻心。
另外,非数据类的流程图和地图分别只出现了3次和1次,和2014年的全年13次以及2015年的全年12次相比,非数据类在考试中所占的比重有比较大减少,只占了前两年的大约四分之一。尽管如此,广大考生在准备Task1复习时也要“一视同仁”,这并不意味着流程图和地图题不会是今后考试的重点。如果流程图和地图题并不是大家所熟悉或者擅长的,也需要进行足够的训练确保能够在考场上碰到流程图和地图题时能够游刃有余。
就全年话题分布来看,9大类写作话题全年考试均有涉及。其中社会类依旧是考察的重中之重(13次,占全年考题27%),其次是教育类(7次,占全年考题14%)以及环境类(6次,占全年考题12%);然后较高频出现的话题类型为媒体类、政府类、全球化类、文化类和科技类。犯罪类集中考察在下半年,仅为2次。但并不意味着广大考生可以忽略犯罪类型,因为往往犯罪类题目专业度会比较强,需要有较好的背景知识和相关的话题词汇才能够在考场上轻松应对。总的来说,大家不仅要多关注高频考题,对于较少考查的类型也要多去积累相关的素材和词汇,以防万一。另外,当遇到相对较新的话题,大家考场上也不要慌乱,可以尽量去挖掘以前积累过的相关话题的观点。

2017年雅思写作备考建议
1、扎实基本功,提高语言准确性
目前写作从均分上来看它应该是4门课里面的。很多考生会认为是官方有压分嫌疑,其实不然。主要还是同学们的作文当中语法错误过多以及词汇使用不正确而导致的。所以针对很多同学把写作分数定位6分的目标来看,同学们一定要狠练基本功,夯实基础。
2、认真审题,多进行练笔
同学们在平时练笔和考场上作答之前一定要看清楚题目,真正理解题目意思。所以一般我们会建议学生花3-5分钟去审题。另外备考练笔时要尽可能涵盖各类话题,避免在考场上出现无话可说,脑子空白的情况。
3、要用自己的话来写文章,尽量少使用模版
雅思写作是技能考试,考官评分更多的是看考生是否能够具备逻辑思考能力和正确使用英文表达观点的能力。一味套用模版会让考官觉得空洞无物,而且模版句式如果比较“”的话会和考生自己的语言表达形成落差,反而暴露自身弱点。
