从08年全年雅思写作Task2来看，话题还是集中于教育、社会与科技发展这些话题，但是在话题的提示上在整年上开始偏重于“发展和发展中带来问题”上，比如象“农业新产品的推动”、“农村的学生更容易融入大学生活”等等。在08全年中，这三个话题还是重头戏，但是“教育与科技信息问题”上考试出题频繁。而“全球化”， “犯罪话题”，“健康话题”几乎与07年类似。而在今年出现的一些新话题中，也大多数是老题目新唱，比如说4月19日的人口小龄化问题就是历年老龄化问题的翻新。因此，在08年全年的话题来看，话题变化并不大，只是在话题提示的方向上，有些小变化。因此，考生也可以预见09年的雅思写作的话题上的变化趋势。
但是，08年雅思在写作的文体上变化较大，从全年的考题看来“agree or disagree”的优缺点考题比例明显缩小，而“discuss both sides”, “W hat is your opinion”这样讨论型的文体明显见多，因此，可以看出考试在考生的写作的思路深度上要求提高了。
因此，建议考生除了熟悉08年的全年题目的话题之外，更要在思路的深度上与文章的表现力上下功夫。
PS:08年共45个话题题，其中教育话题16个，社会与科技发展话题13个，全球化5个，犯罪话题3个，健康话题2个，其他新话题3个。具体如下：
