值得關(guān)注的是，在以上17道考題中，有7道（5月10日，5月22日，6月5日，6月21日，和7月5日，8月30日，9月6日）考題都與教育有關(guān)，再次凸顯了教育類話題在雅思寫作考題中的重要性。而教育類話題又以學(xué)科選擇最為典型。例如7月5日的問theoreticalsubjects和practical subjects哪個(gè)更為重要，很多雅思教育類寫作考題都有類似的辯論焦點(diǎn)。建議考生可以把這道考題作為考前的練筆，可以積累一些常用的思路和詞匯為教育類話題做準(zhǔn)備。
上述考題中7月12號的考題應(yīng)該是較難的一道，此考題所討論的話題為考生比較陌生的“農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展”問題。本題從支持的角度來說比較好論證，但從反對的角度來說比較難找到理由。的駁斥方法就是針對“scientific creation of new types of fruit and vegetables.”談GM food即轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的一些問題，這又需要有一定的知識面?？忌梢栽诰W(wǎng)絡(luò)上多尋找一些與GM food的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)相關(guān)的文章作為背景知識的積累，為今后類似的話題做好準(zhǔn)備。
另一道難度較大的考題是8月21日的考題。此次考題中出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)比較難的單詞“prejudiced- 有偏見的”，對不少考生造成了理解障礙。不過考題中有“rather than broad-minded”作為提示，考生可以通過這個(gè)提示大概猜測出prejudiced的意思為“not broad-minded”。記得在03的時(shí)候也考過一篇與國際旅游的題目，也是題目中有一個(gè)rather than的結(jié)構(gòu)“tension rather than understanding”。也同樣可以通過rather than的結(jié)構(gòu)，判斷出tension可以從misunderstanding這個(gè)角度去討論。所以考生在雅思寫作考試中千萬不要因?yàn)槟硞€(gè)單詞不理解而慌了神，通過上下文，前后的一些對比結(jié)構(gòu)等，猜測出單詞的意思。
