雅思小作文要求我们在20分钟内根据图和要求,写一篇150字左右的文章。由于受图表内容的限制,小作文遣词造句的要求非常有限,只需针对考试,把核心表达用准用熟即可。
下面是考鸭君总结的雅思小作文线图题、柱形图题、饼图题、表格题以及流程图等的写作技巧。还不准备上车吗?
第一段内容几乎完全不用创新,就是对题目文字部分的第二段做改写,所谓改写,要么换词,要么换句式。
例:
The charts below give information about travel to and from the UK and most popular countries for UK residents to visit.
(1) 图 The charts
图:chart, graph(雅思写作中完全等价,无差别)
线:line / curve chart
柱图:bar / column graph
饼:pie chart
表:table / statistics / figures
(2) 动词“表明”give information about
介绍段是客观描述,用一般现在时态,替换成show /illustrate / demonstrate/compare都可以,大家也可以选几个自己喜欢并且拼写准确的形成风格。
第二段其余部分的替换因题而异,比如
travel换成visit,
the UK换成Britain(注意不是England,英格兰只是Britain的一部分),
popular换成fashionable,
country换成nation,
UK residents to visit换成UK tourists。
最后要注意点细节,原文的“below”应省略,因为答题纸上没有图;而第二副图上标注的1999年,可以补充进介绍段。
(1)并列句
The
line chart shows that … and the bar graph illustrates that
…分别描述两幅图,形成风格哦,第一幅图用chart,第二副图用graph,第一幅图shows,第二副图illustrates,也许你写的所有文章都类似,但考官只有机会欣赏一篇啊。
(2)被动语态
XXX is revealed in the line chart and XX is indicated in the bar graph.
