作文是许多雅思考生心中永远的痛，凯德雅思提出“十篇作文搞定雅思六分”(以下称“十篇”)帮助许多学生实现了有效率的提高写作水平和分数。
教学方法的革新永远是学生的福音，作为新颖的教学方法，“十篇”教学法的第一阶段是扎实基础，通过专门的写作词汇整理学习，结构、技巧、论证的方法掌握了解，和阅读有效的范围，每个学生都能够得到长足的进步，当然一切的前提是有效，所有的基础工作都是建立在凯德教研组研究的基础上，学生所学习的内容都是最新最有效的部分，这种效率的工作让不少学生克服了作文的病痛，取得了高分。
当然，在正式练习写作的阶段，不同基础的学生将在老师的指导下完成不同主题、不同篇幅的文章，这些文章都是经过严格的筛选，由于每次考试的预测内容不同，每个班级的学生拿到的文章甚至略有不同。通过典型性文章的写作练习，也就是说写文章很有可能就是即将考到的文章，学生掌握每种文章的方法，也学习了举一反三的能力，就能够轻松应对雅思作文考试。
那么2006年究竟考什么？学生要注意什么？在本篇中，我做一个大致的勾勒，具体考试内容预测还要在每场考试之前。
不变应万变 无招胜有招
先了解一下雅思写作题目要求，IELTS写作的题目一般分成两部分：话题和提问。
比如：Scientific and technological advances have produced many benefits as well as problems in our daily lives. However, most scientists in the world are no longer able to find the solutions of the problems they have created. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion. Give your reasons.
前两句是话题，最后两句是提问。话题部分主要告诉考生写作的内容；而提问部分则影响文章的结构，不同的提问方式会有不同的文章结构，根据这些不同的提问方法，一般的情况，我总结为以下的几种，并且罗列了相应的文章布局：
I.Discuss
Eg: 2005年7月9日
Some people think the government should pay for health care and education, but other people do not think it the government’s responsibility. Discuss both and give your opinion.
应对文章布局：这种文章一般写四段：首段表明不同的人有不同的观点；正文段要写两段，一段写正方，一段写反方；结尾段总结一下并表明自己的观点。
II. Advantages and Disadvantages
Eg: 2005年5月14日
Some school leavers go to travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university. What are the advantages and disadvantages for their studies?
应对文章布局：这种文章一般也写四段：首段表明既有好处
又有坏处；正文段分别说明其好处和坏处；最后总结一下。
III. Agree or Disagree
Eg: 2005年6月25日
People think that the news media has influenced people’s lives nowadays, and it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
应对文章布局：这种文章有两种写法：1。一边倒的写法；2。两面写(即同意的理由和不同意的理由)。
IV. Your Opinion
Eg: 2005年3月5日
Some academic subjects are useful for children’s future career while others such as music and sports are not so useful. What is your opinion. Give your reasons.
应对文章布局：这种文章一般写5段：首段表明观点；正文段分3段分别举出3个理由来证明自己的观点；最后总结一下。
V. Problem, Reasons and Solutions
Eg: 2005年1月22日
Statistics suggest that nowadays an increasing number of crimes are committed by the young people. Explain the reasons for this and give solutions.
应对文章布局：这种文章一般写四段：首段分析现象；正文段分两段交代造成这种现象的原因；最后给出2-3个解决方法。
这是雅思考试五种最基本需要了解的提问方法类型，学生一定要学会判断类型，再根据类型迅速反应出相应的文章布局和结构。这个基础是无论雅思考试如何变化，学生都必须了解的常识。

事实上，以上三种话题几乎已经占据了全部考题的一半，其重要性实在不容忽视！而我们也看到了虽然是同一个话题，但是内容却差别很大，我们通过了解这些话题只能了解雅思的出题关注重点，那么我们平时在复习的时候就要关注积累相关的例证，因为06年的变化趋势是对于论据的要求明显提高了。另外，一切文章围绕一个主题，一些例证和语言组织方法是可以“一个中心，几手准备”的，也就是可以根据不同主题灵活的将已经掌握的文章变成题目要求的文章，这种技巧在凯德雅思的课堂中会重点练习。
