　　题型分析

　　从上面表格中可以看到，“agree disagree”和“discuss both view and give your opinion”在2016年雅思写作题目考查次数最多，次数分别高达17和16。

　　其次是“do advantages outweigh disadvantages”，列举和混合类型题目考查最少，加起来只有7次。大概有三分之二的概率，都是出现难度系数比较高的发问方式。

　　出题套路分析

　　从这个题库看来，考官出题已经有“江郎才尽”的嫌疑，绝大多数都是之前考过的老题目。基本的出题逻辑没有变化，就是从大型题库中随机抽样，生成考试题目。

　　本年难度较高新题目分析

　　总体而言，本年的题目都是属于老题，唯一值得说说的新题是下面这道：

　　Some scientists believe that intelligent life forms may exist on other planets and some want to send messages to contact them. Others think it is a bad idea because these life forms may be too dangerous. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　这条题目第一感觉非常科幻，很多考生读题之后会不知所措。但其实这道题目仍然是可以往常规题方向转化的。例如，讨论some people的主题段落可以写，希望获得更先进的科技，希望了解更先进的文化，希望做贸易发展经济；讨论other people的段落可以写外星人可能携带病毒，影响人类的健康；外星人可能要侵略地球，掠夺地球的资源。

　　类似关键字但是发问方式变化

　　There are many advertisements directed at children, such as snacks, toys, and other goods. Parents argue that children are under pressure. Advertisers claim that the advertisements provide useful information. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　Nowadays, there is a large amount of advertising aimed at children. Some people think they have negative effects on children and should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?

　　这两道题目都是关于儿童广告，但是没有经验的学生会忽然文体内在的差别。这样会影响学生往高分段冲击。教师在授课的时候需要结合评分标准，讲述不同paragraphing方法带来的结果可能会是什么，启发学生用最能保分的方式进行回答题目。

　　未来变化方向推测

　　对于有经验的雅思写作老师来说，目前雅思题目都可以随便用套路玩弄于股掌之间。

　　鉴于雅思考试本身的定位，考官在出题的时候也不会涉及到需要专业知识才能解析出来的词语，雅思未来还是会坚持抽老题为主。但是，写作老师仍然要警惕雅思考官在出题的时候进一步细化关键词，进一步限定考生写作的方向。
