2006年一月雅思大作文预测
(Released 05-12-15 by 曹铭伟)

a. 04.12至05.12共出现写作大题(重复不计)52个;
b. 其中新题(以前未出现过的)19个,占37%; 老题(以前曾出现过原题,或者出现过类似题的)33个,占63%。也就是说有1/3多的机会你会在考试中碰到新题,而有2/3多的机会你会在考试中碰到老题。
c. 新题比较多地出现在了04年底12月和05年10-11月间,即这一年中的两头,中间的这10个月出现老题的比例比较大。不过2006年初考试的同学也不用太紧张,因为根据上一条的分析,你仍然会有2 /3的几率是遇上老题的,所以特别提醒大家,对老题也不要太不在意了。
