以静制动，以不变应万变
当然，雅思写作task 2的题目形式不限于以上常见的四种问法，还有一些变体，但无外乎“原因解释”“利弊分析”“讨论措施”等角度，只不过可能是这些角度的另一种排列组合罢了。下面我们看一下真题里出现的“非典型”题目。
变体一：双重间谍?各个击破!
现在有很多雅思的大作文考题的题目中会同时包含两个写作指令，也就是有两个问句。不少考生往往只照顾了第一个问句而忽视了第二个问句；或者对于两个问句的回答过于失衡。下面我们来看几个例子：
Case study 1 (C8 Test 2)
Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make?
（第1问）
Has this become a positive or negative development?
（第2问）
解析：该题相应的文章布局
Case study 2 (C8 Test 3)
Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
（第1问）
What other measures do you think might be effective?
（第2问）
解析：该题相应的文章布局
Case study 3
More and more people want to buy famous brands with clothes, cars and other items. What are the reasons?
（第1问）
Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
（第2问）
解析：该题相应的文章布局
小结：这三类题目其实全都不是我们经典问法中的任何一种，但是宏观上不难发现规律。题目本身都是由两问构成，body段给出并列的多观点论证，详细解决第一问，结尾段回答并论证第二问。因此，所有考生大可放心，我们遇到任何题目，不要死记硬背，因为没有人规定你必须写几段，老师总结出来的这些段落布局也不过是按照一般逻辑给大家提供一个捷径来确定思路。

题目分析：提高汽油价格是解决日益严重的交通和污染问题的最佳方法。你在多大程度上同意或不同意这种观点?你认为有什么其他的有效措施?
题型分析：由题目中的To what extent do you agree or disagree?可以确定本题题型为同意不同意型（agree or disagree）。接着看到题目中有两个问句，按照该题型模板，大致可以写四到五段。
MODEL ANSWER
There is no doubt that traffic and pollution from vehicles have become huge problems, both in cities and on motorways everywhere. Solving these problems is likely to need more than a simple rise in the price of petrol.
While it is undeniable that private car use is one of the main causes of the increase in traffic and pollution, higher fuel costs are unlikely to limit the number of drivers for long. As this policy would also affect the cost of public transport, it would be very unpopular with everyone who needs to travel on the roads. But there are various other measures that could be implemented that would have a huge effect on these problems.
I think to tackle the problem of pollution cleaner fuels need to be developed. The technology is already available to produce electric cars that would be both quieter and cleaner to use. Persuading manufacturers and travellers to adopt this new technology would be a more effective strategy for improving air quality, especially in cities.
However, traffic congestion will not be solved by changing the type of private vehicle people can use. To do this, we need to improve the choice of public transport services available to travellers. For example, if sufficient sky trains and underground train systems were built and effectively maintained in our major cities, then traffic on the roads would be dramatically reduced. Long-distance train and coach services should be made attractive and affordable alternatives to driving your own car for long journeys.
In conclusion, I think that long-term traffic and pollution reductions would depend on educating the public to use public transport more, and on governments using public money to construct and run efficient systems.(284words)

undeniable adj. 无可否认的

congestion n. 拥挤

范文点评
题目由三句话组成，在表达了观点之后，提出了两个问题。作者首先在首段表明了自己的观点“解决这些环境问题不仅仅需要提高油价”。主体段先肯定私家车是导致环境污染的主要原因之一，随后转折提出抬高油价却不是最佳的唯一的解决方式。提出另外的两种途径：使用清洁燃料、选择其他通行工具。结尾段重述观点。
范文用词准确，且词汇达到了多样性；文中的语法结构运用得当，长短句适宜；句型丰富，含有同位语从句、主语从句、定语从句、宾语从句等。
变体二：换个马甲儿，还认识你!
参考上一章节四种经典题型模板的表格，题型Ⅰ（同意不同意题型）和题型Ⅲ（利弊分析题型）经常会出现以下变体，在此情况下，解题思路相同。
1．题型Ⅰ的变体：
原型：To what extent do you agree or disagree?
变体：What is your opinion?
What is your view?
What do you think?
通常该题型的变体都是给出两种对立现象或观点，问考生的看法。例：
Nowadays, some universities offer graduate students skills that assist to find employment, but some people believe the main function of university should be to provide access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?
2．题型Ⅲ的变体：
原型：Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
变体：To what extent do you think it has more positive than negative effects?
To what extent do you think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?

SAMPLE ANSWER
Advertising has become prevalent in the contemporary society, and vast billboards, TV commercials and fliers are all exerting profound impact on modern life. In the meantime, whether advertising is a blessing or a curse has sparked spirited debate. Some individuals argue that advertising has only beneficial influence on our lives while many others contend that it has detrimental effects as well. Personally, I am in favor of the former view.
Admittedly, advertising may carry considerable potential drawbacks. To begin with, a vast number of online advertisements may harm the internet users' lives. To illustrate, email spamming may fill up one's email box with junk emails and worse yet, many of these junk emails could destroy PCs with viruses or Trojan horses. Moreover, a high percentage of advertisements in the media are misleading ones. Today, it seems that many drug companies give false information about their products, which has rendered a host of customers afraid to buy medicine.
Despite this, advertising has brought numerous benefits. In the first place, advertisements inform us about the latest products on the market. In general, with the help of ads, customers could make shopping more economical and less time-consuming. In the second place, elaborate advertisements can be a genuine art form. Indeed, instead of wasting our time, creative ads can afford us diverse amusements, thereby immensely brightening up our lives. Last but not the least, some advertising in the media can motivate people to contribute to charities. As a matter of fact, I would be hard-pressed to imagine how charities can get enough funds without the help of non-profit ads.
In the final analysis, I concede that the proliferation of the advertising industry does not come without some adverse effects. However, the benefits created by advertising far outweigh the disadvantages. Overall, I am convinced that we should further promote the development of advertising and meanwhile get this industry better-regulated. (316 words)
