雅思范文2008全年雅思A类写作真题深度分析及09展望本文来自雅思作文网《2008全年雅思A类写作真题深度分析及09展望》。
纵观2008全年，雅思A类写作题目共有46道。
1.10/1.12/2.2/2.14/2.23/4.5/4.12/4.24/5.10/5.22/6.5/6.14/6.28/7. 5/7.26/8.9/8.16/8.21/8.30/9.13/9.18/10.23/10.25/11.15/11.20/12 .4/12.6等共计27道为原来已考过题目的原题回放或变体。
而1.19/1.26/2.16/3.1/3.8/3.13/3.29/4.19/5.31/6.21/7.12/7.24/9.6/9. 28/10.11/11.8/11.29/12.13/12.20等共计19道为新题初现。
基本与往年新老题比例持平。
从对46道题的归类来看，教育，科技，社会三大类绝对是重中之重。
这说明2008年的雅思写作虽有一些新类型如08.3.1的Schools offer a wide range of courses such as physical education, music, economics, philosophy, math, English，geography, physics and history. Among all these subjects, which one do you think is the most important and which one is the least important? 但究其本质，并没有出现重大变化。
我个人预计2009这种趋势仍然会持续，但新题比例可能会比07、08两年更多一些。
所以大家需要做两方面准备：一，重点练习雅思频道（）中各位老师每次所给出的预测题目。
（向他（她)们的辛勤劳动致以最崇高的敬意。
）二，切实提高自己的真正写作水平。
友情提示：水平的提高是人，精准的预测只是兵器。

2008年6月28日雅思写作真题范文（2008年6月28日考题老年人与现代科技）With technology speeding up, more and more young people begin to use mobile phones and the Internet, but old people have little chance to be exposed to them. What ways could mobile phone and the Internet is useful to old people? How do old people be encouraged to use this new technology?It is obvious that advanced technologies such as cellular phones or the net not only bring a lot of fun to youngsters who are always passionate to novel things, but also have an important effect on the life of senior citizens who would like to keep the pace of the age.Today, mobile phones are increasingly popular with old people. Unlike young people who fancy playing games or taking photos with phones, they seem to be most interested in their most basic function – communication. It is easily found that keeping in touch by mobiles with their children who live independently or study overseas has become a necessary thing in their routines. Plus, if some of old people feel physically uncomfortable or get in danger outdoors and alone, they immediately make an emergency call or inform. their relatives or friends using mobile phones.The Internet is equally important with mobile phone in old people’s life now. Apparently, some elderly tend to surf on Internet, studying something that they are fascinated with such as calligraphy, painting and so forth; some like to meet new people online or chat with their friends by tools available on Internet such as MSN or OICQ; others become accustomed to shopping online or running their own small businesses by E-bay.However, I must confess that some old people are afraid to try new technologies probably because they do not yet have understood or experienced them. In avoid of this, they should be encouraged to take part in some activities that are held in their community with the aim of educating them about how to use or see the new technologies. In the meanwhile, they are really supposed to be a bit more confident.。
