入选理由: 话题的“混搭”是2008年的雅思作文题目体现出来的一个重要特点，很多topics很难用单纯的一个话题归类，如去年考的大学是否应该扩招的问题，你可以说是教育类，但是否扩招归根到底是政府说了算的，所以你把它算作政府决策类也没错。这种混搭趋势在2009年一月有较大的可能继续延续。
推荐练习真题: Some people belive that the government should ban university students from entering places like pubs or internet cafe in order to force them to fully concentrate on their studies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
二级预测(Possible): 抽象话题类
入选理由: 纵观2008年全年的考题，该类话题出现的次数相较以前有明显增多(尤其是下半年)，因此对于抽象类话题我们也不能掉以轻心。
推荐练习真题: Some people believe that the concept of success only refers to one's economic achievement while some others argue that one's success has nothing to do with financial status. Discuss the both viewpoints and give your own opinion.
三级预测(maybe...): 社会现象＋科技类
入选理由： 这是“混搭”的另一种可能的组合，即讨论一个跟现代科技有关的社会现象。虽然相比“政府+教育”的黄金组合出现概率要低，但仍值得适度关注。
推荐练习真题: Today, people are conducting their daily tasks with the assists of computers. Some experts are concerned that the phenomenon may lead to the deterioration of people's practical abilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
图表作文重点关注: Line Graph + Pie Chart 的组合图表
雅思口语近期需关注话题: Describe clothes in special occasions in your country.(我估计日本的雅思考生这题一定都会说kimono吧......) (青年人网特约作者：新东方 俞伟国)
