科技类写作话题在全年48次雅思考试中出现频率实际并不算高，可一旦出现，很多同学往往大脑一片空白，不知从何入手进行构思。考试的成功与备考过程中妥善的准备密不可分。
作为北京环球雅思学校的写作主讲教师，笔者对雅思考试有着五年的追踪和分析，时间虽不算长，但也总结出了剑桥雅思考试官方的一些出题规律和特点。
笔者从环球雅思教研中心发布的历年写作机经中，总结出科技类大作文其实只有三种常见的出题套路：
分析宏观角度的科技发展对个人、环境、全球的影响。
例如：
(12-2-18) Some people think that the development of technology has made our life more complex, and the solution is to live a simpler life without that technology.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
(09-1-10) Some people think that the range of technology available to individuals makes the increasing gaps between rich and poor people, but other people believe it has opposite effects.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
从微观角度分析某种具体的高科技产品的利弊
例如：
(13-2-2) Some people think watching television is bad for children in all ways. Others say it is good for children to gain knowledge.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
(11-1-8) Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
(06-1-14) There are social, medical, and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones.
Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phone?
高科技产品与传统事物之间的“碰撞”
比如：
(14-11-22) Online shopping is now replacing shopping in store.
Do you think it is positive or negative development?
(13-3-2) Schooling is no longer necessary, since more and more information can be found on the Internet, so students can study as well at home.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
以上两道题目，一道题是关于在线购物是否会取代传统实体店。另一道题目是关于网络教学是否会取代学校和老师。类似的题目还有：文字如今可以被电子储存，纸质书是否有必要继续存在；电脑和手机的使用是否会取代写信；人们能够在网上浏览历史文物，博物馆无需继续存在，同意否。
纵观这三种出题套路，套路一难度最大，因为很多同学平时并不会主动关注“高科技是否扩大了贫富差距”这样的“变态”问题，因此该类题目的难度系数足以秒杀众多考生，笔者建议在备考期间，这类套路的考题务必提前阅读高分范文，储备写作思路。套路二，从围观角度分析某个高科技产品的利弊，这类话题难度系数低，但容易失分，究其原因，在于很多同学没有能够抓住解题核心点，请各位务必牢记：高科技的弊端是解题的核心！因为高科技的好处，几乎人人会说，而它的弊端，恐怕很多同学难以想到。
第一，人类不能对高科技产品过度依赖，否则会导致自身能力的下降。
例如：Humans should by no means rely on the computer and the mobile phone too much, as our reading and writing skills might be degraded.
第二，自动化高科技产品的普及会导致失业。
例如：The widespread use of robots in manufacturing industry would force many people to be out of their jobs.
第三，高科技产品对健康的消极影响。
例如：Too much exposure to the TV screen will cause visual fatigue, and staying in front of the TV set might lead to obesity.
至于套路三，高科技产品和传统事物之间的碰撞问题，是雅思写作中出现概率最高的一种出题形式。
请大家牢记：当高科技产品和传统事物发生“碰撞”时，取胜的多半是传统事物，因为你只需记住：在高科技日益发达的今天，很多传统事物之所以没有消失，是因为它们具备高科技产品所无法替代的独特优势！
例如手写的书信，由于它能拉进人与人之间的感情，且不接触电脑的老年人更加青睐，所以它在短期内不会被电脑所取代。
再比如实体商店也不会被网络商店取代，这是由于它为社会创造了更多的就业岗位，此外，对于电子产品、服装等必须通过直接接触才能获得第一手体验的商品，人们更愿选择去实体店购买。
总体来说，科技类话题的出题套路总共包括以上的三大形式。
