2018年考研英语二写作部分难度变化不大，此次考察内容仍然是图表，不同于2017年动态曲线图的考察，此次的内容是静态的饼图。此类饼图分别在2015年和2016年进行过考察，对此训练有素的考生做题一定信手拈来。
这种图形写作与2015、2016区别不大，对图表中各部分份额进行合理分析即可。该图表涉及内容是消费者选择餐厅时的关注因素，关键词也不难写，故此从难度上看，属于中低难度。
图中的关键词，餐厅(restaurant)和消费者(consumers)是中学词汇，有基础能力的同学可以相对轻松把握;其余环境(environment)、服务(service)和特色(feature)也都是中等难度的词汇，相信多数考生在今年写作中会拿到很好的分数。
Illustrated clearly by the pie chart are the motivations of consumers choosing restaurants in a city in 2017. As is shown, the pie chart is combined with five shares. The largest share is feature of restaurants, accounting for 36.3%. On the contrary, consumers give least weight to their spending in restaurants. Consequently the share of price is only 8.4%. What’s more, the percentages of environment and service are 27.8% and 26.8% respectively.
The increasingly prosperous economy enables Chinese citizens to have the purchasing ability to enjoy better life. Eating out, therefore, is no more an extravagance. When choosing restaurants, consumers, however, take different factors into consideration, which is objectively shown by the statistics. Indisputably, enjoying the unprecedented life standard, a growing number of residents in cities attach more importance to quality of their life, and they are confident to their purchasing ability, paying more attention to the feature, environment and service of restaurants.
In sum, the objectivity of the data provided by the chart can be observed by our observation in our society. Eating out, as one of ways of enjoying our life, is a daily routine. Undeniably, we enjoy better material life, but it is also necessary for us the curb our inclination of consumerism.
参考译文：
上面的饼图清晰地反映了某市消费者在2017年选择餐厅的原因。如图所示，该饼图由五部分构成。其中最大的份额是餐厅特色，占36.3%。相反，消费者对于餐馆的消费者考量最少。因此价格的份额只占8.4%。此外，环境和服务的百分比分比为27.8%和26.8%。
中国繁荣的经济使中国公民有更好的消费了来享受更厚的生活。去餐馆吃饭已经不再是一件奢侈的事情。但消费者在选择餐厅时，会把不同因素考虑在内，这在数据中有很客观的反映。无可争议，越来越多的城市居民享受史无前例的生活水平，他们对生活品质更为关注，并对他们消费力足够自信，因此会更关注餐厅的特色，环境及服务。
总之，数据的客观性可以被我们的观察所印证。外出就餐，作为我们享受生活的方式，已经十分平常。不可否认，我们正享受更好的物质生活，但我们也要控制我们消费主义的倾向。
2018年考研英语二，小作文考察的是一封道歉信，这类信件在英语二中从未有过考察，不过2008年未分英语一和英语二十时，曾进行过考察。
具备一定英语表达能力的学生应该能轻松应对这类文章。不过需要把自己的基础语言知识和基本表达有效地结合起来。
范文如下：
Suppose you have to cancel your travel plan and will not be able to visit Professor Smith. Write an email to
1) apologize and explain the situation
2) suggest a future meeting
Dear Professor Smith,
I am terribly sorry that I have to cancel my travel plan and, and to my regret, I will not be able to visit you.

亲爱的史密斯教授：
很抱歉，我不得不取消我的出行计划，并且很遗憾，我将不能与您会面。
主要原因是届时我将参加一个一路一带的国际会议。今晨，在经过公司董事会投票之后，我被任命为公司代表去参加此会议.该会议为期一周，1月8日到15日于西安举行。因此我不得不修改我先前的计划。
我由衷地希望您能理解我的处境并接受我的歉意。同时我希望您能给我一次机会，我好下月能与您见面。
