2018年考研英語二寫作部分難度變化不大，此次考察內容仍然是圖表，不同於2017年動態曲線圖的考察，此次的內容是靜態的餅圖。此類餅圖分別在2015年和2016年進行過考察，對此訓練有素的考生做題一定信手拈來。
這種圖形寫作與2015、2016區別不大，對圖表中各部分份額進行合理分析即可。該圖表涉及內容是消費者選擇餐廳時的關注因素，關鍵詞也不難寫，故此從難度上看，屬於中低難度。
圖中的關鍵詞，餐廳(restaurant)和消費者(consumers)是中學詞彙，有基礎能力的同學可以相對輕鬆把握;其餘環境(environment)、服務(service)和特色(feature)也都是中等難度的詞彙，相信多數考生在今年寫作中會拿到很好的分數。
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.
參考譯文：
上面的餅圖清晰地反映了某市消費者在2017年選擇餐廳的原因。如圖所示，該餅圖由五部分構成。其中最大的份額是餐廳特色，佔36.3%。相反，消費者對於餐館的消費者考量最少。因此價格的份額只佔8.4%。此外，環境和服務的百分比分比為27.8%和26.8%。
中國繁榮的經濟使中國公民有更好的消費了來享受更厚的生活。去餐館吃飯已經不再是一件奢侈的事情。但消費者在選擇餐廳時，會把不同因素考慮在內，這在數據中有很客觀的反映。無可爭議，越來越多的城市居民享受史無前例的生活水平，他們對生活品質更為關注，並對他們消費力足夠自信，因此會更關注餐廳的特色，環境及服務。
總之，數據的客觀性可以被我們的觀察所印證。外出就餐，作為我們享受生活的方式，已經十分平常。不可否認，我們正享受更好的物質生活，但我們也要控制我們消費主義的傾向。
2018年考研英語二，小作文考察的是一封道歉信，這類信件在英語二中從未有過考察，不過2008年未分英語一和英語二十時，曾進行過考察。
具備一定英語表達能力的學生應該能輕鬆應對這類文章。不過需要把自己的基礎語言知識和基本表達有效地結合起來。
範文如下：
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.

This morning, after the vote of the board of my company, I receive an appointment be a representative of our company to attend the conference, which will be held in Xi』 An and last for a week from January 8th to 15th. Therefore I am forced to adjust my former schedule.

親愛的史密斯教授：
很抱歉，我不得不取消我的出行計劃，並且很遺憾，我將不能與您會面。
主要原因是屆時我將參加一個一路一帶的國際會議。今晨，在經過公司董事會投票之後，我被任命為公司代表去參加此會議.該會議為期一周，1月8日到15日於西安舉行。因此我不得不修改我先前的計劃。
