雅思圖表作文精華提煉

字號:

寫作理論介紹完了,本著手把手講授的原則,具體說說圖表作文每個段落的寫作。Task 1受圖表內(nèi)容的限制,遣詞造句的要求非常有限,只需針對考試,把核心表達用準用熟即可,所謂博大不如精深。
    I 數(shù)據(jù)圖
    一、介紹段introduction
    介紹段內(nèi)容幾乎完全不用創(chuàng)新,就是對題目文字部分的第二段做改寫,paraphrase the rubric。所謂改寫,要么換詞,要么換句式。
    例如:(I4-100)
    The charts below give information about travel to and from the UK and most
     (1)         (2)
    popular countries for UK residents to visit.
    換 詞
    (1) 圖 The charts
    圖:chart, graph, diagram(雅思寫作中完全等價,無差別)
    線:line / curve chart
    柱圖:bar / column graph
    餅:pie diagram
    表:table / statistics / figures
    (2) 動詞“表明”give information about
    介紹段是客觀描述,用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài),give information about雖然在這篇作文中不再用,但是informal learning,隨手學到的東東,留作其它文章再用。替換的詞語和結(jié)構(gòu)很多,比如我常用的reveal / indicate / demonstrate,大家也可以選幾個自己喜歡并且拼寫準確的形成風格,年輕時多嘗試,年紀大了就要形成風格啦,三個就夠,多了白搭,還是那句話,博大不如精深。
    第二段其余部分的替換因題而異,比如travel換成visit,the UK換成Britain(注意不是England,英格蘭只是Britain的一部分),popular換成fashionable,country換成nation,UK residents to visit換成UK tourists。不過隨著練習作文數(shù)量的增加,你會驚喜的發(fā)現(xiàn),雅思圖表作文,連描述的對象都是類似的。
    最后要注意點細節(jié),原文的“below”應省略,因為答題紙上沒有圖;而第二副圖上標注的1999年,可以補充進介紹段。對擔心寫不足詞數(shù)的單圖作文,甚至還可以“猥瑣”的把特征點概括成一句話加入介紹段。
    換 句
    (1)并列句
    The line chart reveals that … and the bar graph indicates that …(分別描述兩幅圖,形成風格哦,第一幅圖用chart,第二副圖用graph,第一幅圖reveal,第二副圖indicate,也許你寫的所有文章都類似,但考官只有機會欣賞一篇啊。)
    (2)被動語態(tài)
    … is revealed in the line chart and … is indicated in the bar graph.
    One possible answer:
    The line chart reveals visits to and from Britain and the bar graph indicates most fashionable nations for UK tourists in 1999.
