雅思小作文概述

第六節(jié)雅思小作文概述雅思考試分移民類(general)和學(xué)術(shù)類(academic),兩者都包含一篇小作文，一般用20分鐘。根據(jù)劍橋雅思考試中心提供的信息，雅思小作文和大作文的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一致，主要有一下四個(gè)方面。應(yīng)題(taskresponse)協(xié)調(diào)性和連貫性(Coherenceandcohesion)詞匯量(Lexicalresource)語(yǔ)法正確(Grammaticalaccuracy)一圖表作文分為四種圖：餅圖(piechart)、線圖(linechart)、柱圖(barchart)、表圖(table)圖表作文寫作流程審題：大致遵從下面的步驟理解題目 瀏覽圖表的文字信息 瀏覽圖表的數(shù)字信息 開始寫作小貼士：1同學(xué)們注意：圖表作文從讀題開始，爭(zhēng)取迅速了解圖所涉及的大致內(nèi)容。很多考生先看圖表，這是錯(cuò)誤的習(xí)慣，不看題目先看圖表是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。題目中往往包含有效信息，比如圖表涉及的內(nèi)容和時(shí)

間。2讀完題目信息以后，開始讀圖。正確的步驟是先看

文字信息，再看數(shù)據(jù)。這樣會(huì)對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)有清晰的了解；

沒(méi)有文字信息的圖表是沒(méi)有意義的。3有時(shí)候不止是一個(gè)圖表，這是，需要首先判斷圖之間是否有聯(lián)系，如果有聯(lián)系，就一起描述，反之，則分開描述4在開始寫作是，面對(duì)一堆數(shù)據(jù)，考生往往覺(jué)得無(wú)從下手，不知道描述的先后順序。一般來(lái)說(shuō)閱讀數(shù)據(jù)可以遵循下面的次序。餅圖柱圖線圖表格時(shí)間、最高原則（先看圖表是否有時(shí)間排列，再看最

高值）?如果出現(xiàn)一組時(shí)間，那么以最早的時(shí)間開始敘述；譬如，1979-1999年，從1979年開始敘述（一般來(lái)說(shuō)，線圖和表格經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)時(shí)間。）?如果在同一年代里出現(xiàn)可以比較的數(shù)據(jù)，那么從最高值開始敘述，譬如，在1979年出現(xiàn)幾個(gè)國(guó)家的數(shù)值，那么從最高值開始描述；?如果圖表里沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)時(shí)間，那么就關(guān)注最高值，從最高值開始敘述（餅圖和柱狀圖一般不會(huì)出現(xiàn)時(shí)間的信息）

在隨后的描述中，不需要描述所有的數(shù)據(jù)；注意描述

最低的數(shù)值和有特點(diǎn)的數(shù)值；在線圖中，注意描述趨

勢(shì)，而不是單個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)；在其他三種圖表中，將近似的

數(shù)據(jù)分組，一起描述。在線圖中，敘述以最后出現(xiàn)的數(shù)值結(jié)束；在其他圖中，敘述以最低的數(shù)值結(jié)束。開始寫作一般來(lái)說(shuō)，圖表小作文可以分為三個(gè)部分，分別是介紹段，主體部分和總結(jié)段；主體部分一般有兩段話。介紹段：介紹段主要注意改寫題目，不要照搬照抄。避免照抄題目的方法有四種1）改變題目中關(guān)鍵詞的詞性;2）改變題目中關(guān)鍵詞的位置；3）用同義次取代其中某一些詞；4）靈活地加入圖表中的其他文字信息（譬如說(shuō)時(shí)間、性別、國(guó)家等）例如題目：thegraphsbelowshowtheenrolmentsofoverseasstudentsandlocalstudentsinBritain'suniversities.介紹段：thegraphsprovideinformationabouttheproportionsof改寫proportionsof改寫改寫overseasstudentsandlocalstudentsenrolledinBritain'suniversities改詞性和位置from1989to1999.加入新的信息大意：下面的圖提供關(guān)于1989到1999年海外學(xué)生和當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)生在英國(guó)大學(xué)入學(xué)率的信息。主體部分：（2?3段）第一句話總結(jié)圖中比較顯著的趨勢(shì)或者特征，其余句子按照第四點(diǎn)中所規(guī)定的順序逐句敘述圖表內(nèi)容。主體部分每一個(gè)句子一般有三個(gè)組成部分，分別是文字信息、數(shù)字信息和比較。很多考生習(xí)慣在作文中把數(shù)字逐一讀出，這是不好的習(xí)慣。事實(shí)上，文字信息比數(shù)字信息更為重要：文字信息可以讓讀者清楚了解圖表的主要信息，而數(shù)據(jù)只是起輔助的作用。比較下面的句子例如：theaverageUSfamilyhad4.5peoplein1915,3.3in1967and2.6in2006.改后句子：averagefamilysizeintheUShasbeen

shrinking,from文字信息3.3peoplein1967to2.6peoplein2006,
