雅思小作文预测篇

基于考试频率和各大论坛的预测,9月末的考试中线图柱状图和地图题是最有可能的。
当然同学们知道这个说实话用处并不大,应该做的是扎扎实实的再复习下各种图的基本思路吧。

1 多线图

之所以还要重点准备曲线图:原有有二。 其一毕竟曲线图一直是历年考试的重点,今年次数太少不是很正常,最后一个季度得当心。其二曲线图是一切图的根本,大部分柱状饼状表格都可以转化成曲线图写,只要存在时间的跨度。
例子The graph below shows people’s life expectancy in five different countries from 1970 to 2010. Summarize the information by reporting and selecting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

注:这篇考题是新东方内部研发的模拟题,转载请注明。

开头段:转述原文,时态一般现在时
中文:此图所展示的是五个国家的平均寿命(1970-2010)
英文:This graph illustrates the average life span in five countries over a period of forty years, from 1970 to 2010.

提升版本:A glance at the multiple-line graph provided reveals the average life span in five countries over a period of forty years, from 1970 to 2010.

多线图中间段思路

1 先总体介绍哪些上升,哪些下降。
2 上升的一段,下降的一段。 

总体趋势句模板
The overall trend reveals that ____ kept an upward trend while ___ went on a downward trend. 

具体运用
Generally speaking, Panac and Sejen saw an increase in life expectancy, but Rothan, South Nagin and Zaceb experienced a decrease.

接下来上升的曲线一段下降的一段不变的一段。

上升的
In 1970, Panac and Sejen had the highest average life expectancy, at 71 and 74 years old respectively. This figure steadily increased throughout the years, reaching 80 or just above by 2010.

提升版本
In 1970, Panac and Sejen, which enjoyed the highest average life expectancy at 71 and 74 years old respectively, witnessed a rise in the number of life span throughout these years, amounting to 80 or just above by 2010.

基本不变 
Rothan citizens could expect to live up to 68 years old on average in 1970. There was a slight drop to 65 in 2000 and this remained steady until 2010.

提升版本: Rothan citizens could expect to live up to 68 years old on average in 1970, which was followed by a slight drop to 65 in 2000, remaining steady until 2010.

下降

In contrast, South Nagin and Zaceb had a shorter average life expectancy than the other three countries at 52 years old in 1970, rising to just under 60 in 1980 and staying fairly constant for a decade or more.
Then both countries’ life spans fell quite dramatically to 45 and 38 years old respectively in 2010

结论段

思路:总体介绍哪些国家的人相对活的更长。其次如果多线图出现交点,必须在最后一段谈到,体现出比较思想。
In summary, the public in ____ and ____ enjoyed longer life expectancy compared with people in other three countries.

交点句型模板
Besides, the figure of __S_ outweighed that of __Z_ before _1990__and vice versa after it. 

2 饼状图

饼状图又被称作静态图,是比较简单的小作文类型,提前准备模板就好。不过考生们切忌模板需要经过你们个性化的修改哦,否则会被精明的考官所识破。

接下来结合新东方内部的仿真试题(转载请注明)给快考试的同学们准备三套应急模板。

实战运用

模板一 对应第一个饼图

___In terms of__   the first pie chart concerning the countries that offer financial relief, the biggest component was Europe___, which accounted for _34%___  while USA and Japan ranked the second, taking up__19%.__, followed by Australia and Canada(10% and 9% respectively).
In contrast/ On the contrary, New Zealand, Greece and other countries made up a small percentage, which were _6%_ , __2%_ and _1%__respectively.

模板二 大家可以参考一下自己来写第二个饼图 (注意时态哦)

Top on the list is ____, which accounts for_____, followed by ____ and _____, constituting ____ and ____ respectively.
D____ and_E__ contribute to the remaining part.

模板三

First on the list is ____, taking up___, which precedes ___ and ___, which represent ____ and ____ seperately. On the other hand, _____, ____and____are far less popular/enjoy relatively low popularity, accounting for____ , ____and____seperately.

3 柱状图

思路分析:大家注意柱状图和表格图基本都可以转化成曲线图。比如本图,首先可以先静态的看,比如1998年内部,就是饼状图思路,谁第一谁第二。1999和2000类似。

然后动态的看,那么就是四条曲线图了,不就是多线图的写法吗?上升的一段,下降的一段。

关键语言提示:

静态饼状图本来应该写三个,但是考生可以综合起来写一个。因为排在第一位的一只是16-30岁的人群,紧跟着31-50岁人群,最不爱上网的是小孩和老人。

成文:Generally speaking, despite the falling figure, people aged between 16-30 were the group who relied most frequently on the Internet, followed by the middle- aged(31-50). In contrast, the Internet was relatively less popular among people less than 15 years and over 50 years

接下来就是按多线图的方法写,比较简单不再赘述。

4 表格图

大家花30秒钟时间审题,会发现其实就是多线图的写法。好像还是个7线图。先写谁呢?当然是total。

参考范文

开头段:转述原文
The table shows changes in the spending patterns of an average Australian household between 1999 and 2001.

中间段
总体趋势
In general, Australian household spending was higher in 2001 than in 1991 but the difference was not significant (AUD $715 per month and AUD$675 per month).

上升
The amount of monthly spending on electricity and water saw a dramatic increase over the 10-year period from 75$ to $ 120. Yet in terms of the expenditure on nonessential goods and services, the rising trend was less obvious with a minor increase of $20.
At the same time, the amount of money spent on food and housing rose only slightly from $155 to $160 and $95 and $100 respectively.

下降
However, there was a decrease in expenditure on the other two items.
Australians spend one third less on clothing, which fell from $30 to $20.
Similarly, expenditure on transport dropped from $70 in 1991 to $45 in 2001.

总结
It seems that food and other goods services were the two biggest items of expenditure. Altogether, they accounted for more than half of the total household spending. By comparison, Australians spent little on dressing up.

5 地图题

由于今年考官非常青睐地图题,尤其是变化这个类型的(即给大家一个苏州市1999年和2005年的地图,请考生介绍),我给大家准备了一些相关语言和一个相关地图供大家练笔和思路。当然考试的难度可能比这个要大,但是思路是类似的。

实战演练

开头段
The three maps representing changes in Palm Grove between 1950 and 2000 show that the town became a resort as accessibility from the outside improved.

中间段思路: 
每个年份的地图写一段。写到第二张地图,重点体现出变化,比如增加了hotel, 路从2车到拓展到了4车道(语言部分都有)。写到第三张图,可以体现出增加了airport,移走了dock,进一步增加hotel.

可借鉴范文

地图一
In 1950, Palm Grove, lying 450 kilometers from the nearest city, was a small village with few hotels. Since the only access to the village at that time was by a two-lane road, most tourists may probably be unwilling to make the long trip to get there.

地图二
By 1975, a new four-lane highway was established, greatly bringing changes to Palm Grove. Though it was still a small village, it appeared that the new road made it easier for visitors to enter. Moreover, several new hotels had been built for them along the beach.

地图三
By 2000, noticeable is the fact that a new airport had been constructed in the northwest of this village, apparently transforming this town into a tourist resort ready for visitors far away from this place. Besides, the hotel industry was further expanded to welcome incoming tourists. Finally, it is worth to note that the fishing docks were removed from this place.
