Task 1 分析
线图：Government spending on retirement pensions, education and health from 2001 and projected to 2051
考情分析和预测：
今年考到graph, table, bar chart各3次， pie chart1次，map1次， flow-chart 2次。除了map和flow-chart考生练得较少所以感觉会比较难下手之外，出现的图形总体难度不大。4月份，特别推荐练习pie chart和table。
得分要点：
这个图形的写作需要注意三点：
1. overview一定要写：包括三者的总体趋势，三者之间的大小关系等。
2. 注意将来时的使用和多样化表达。
具体写法可以参考剑桥雅思5第1套题目和剑桥雅思9第4套题目
Task 2 分析
考题：
An increasing number of people change their career and places of residence several times during their life. Is this a positive or negative development?
考情分析：
这次的题目和以下两个题目非常类似：1. 20140111真题-Many young people choose to change their jobs or careers after few years. What are the reasons? Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? )2. 剑桥雅思6第4套题目Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion。大家会发现这3个题目都在讨论生活中change的问题，区别点主要有二：1. 对象和侧重点不同。剑6的题目最为宽泛，对象是所有人，侧重点就是change;20140111题目对象范围缩小为young people，侧重点缩小为job or career;本次题目(20140405)对象是所有人，侧重点除了工作(career)之外,还有一个居住地(places of residents)。其实最近一两年来雅思写作Task 2中老题出镜率特别高，但是问法和措辞上肯定会有变化。所以考生在备考中需要特别注意两点：1.问题的问法一定要看清;2. 常考话题的分析一定要做到位。
4月考试预测：
4月份通常来说问题都不难，考生主要还是两方面来准备：1. 话题。今年education, environment, technology, employment, culture, government等话题都已经考到，除了education考了3次之外，其他话题的出题次数比较平均。大家可以多准备下crime, media, animals, tourism等今年考得较少的话题。 2.问法。今年agree or disagree考得特别多。考生在不断熟悉这种问法的回答方式的同时，多准备下discuss类和report类的问题。
审题要点：
1. 有两个点career和places of residents， 在文章中都应该提到
2. several times during their life, 所以题目的说法还是比较委婉的
思路分析：(仅供参考)
Positive:
-对于个人，会有更多的经历，更多地接受挑战
-对于社会，一定的人口流动有助于社会发展
Negative:
-改变有风险
范文展示：(仅供参考)
Due to development in areas like transportation, communication as well as people’s perceptions of life, individuals are no longer confined to their geological “hometown”, nor are they limited in single means of livelihood. Instead, some take a range of occupations and live in a bunch of cities in their mortal life.
For those followers of tradition, such a lifestyle can hardly be accepted. Many grandparents, for instance, voice concern over constantly changing life of the young. For them, a stable job equals a steady life, helping to eliminate the unnecessary troubles and risks in the vagaries of life; blessed by a fixed and progressive career, they are confident that, their “children” could finally have a good harvest in terms of fortune, comfort and even status. Similar arguments are heard with respect to places of residence: settling down in one town or city, people could enjoy the company of friends and relatives. They could also free themselves from adjusting themselves to new custom and behaviors if they are to move from one place to another. Nevertheless, the enormous transformation of the world means sticking to traditions may not be a wise choice anymore.
Firstly, the changes in technology and business bring abundant opportunities but also pose serious challenges to individuals. In other words, the improvement of technology and various business modes formed as a result means nobody can secure a job if he or she does not absorb the experiences of the different areas. An artist, for instance, should focus on academic stuff such as painting, yet to catch up with modern culture, working for a period as a designer in commercial enterprises or even IT companies could help him to “flourish”. Likewise, residing in cities of varied business atmosphere or cultural backgrounds encourages people to enlarge their eyesight and therefore perceive work and life from a whole new perspective. In contrast, for one person living in some distant villages like a hermit, the changes and challenges of modern society are quite likely to “devour” him sooner or later.
Moreover, such changes will cause the flow of people, which could finally benefit the society as a whole. Employees equipped with experience in different areas can comprise the core of one country’s labor force. These versatile workers could be essential for a country’s economy which is increasingly reliant on machinery but could hardly boom without truly experienced talents. In terms of the flowing people in different cities, they could contribute to the diversified culture of cities, thus making the city life colorful but also harmonious.
In conclusion, despite the worries and uncertainties, changes in one’s career or residence could be beneficial for both individuals and the whole society. Overall, I believe it is a positive development.
