　　雅思写作高分技巧

　　一、寻觅小作文需要表达的重点

　　见到图形表达题，你心中就需要思考这个图形题需要表述的重点在哪里。作答时先说明再梳理数据。切不可将文章写成账本式的文字，否则，你就会得到很低的分数。

　　例如：

　　The graph shows how the amount of water used worldwide changed between 1900 and 2000. Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural Purposes, and this increased dramatically from about 500 km to around 3,000 km in the year 2000.

　　文章的主句应该对文章要表达的趋势，量的大小作出说明，相关的数据则补充在后面。雅思小作文考察的精髓还是查看考生的英文表达能力，精简凝练。你的描述要让阅卷者脑海中浮现出图形的样本，数量和趋势等等相关变量。如果你能达到以上这些要求，那么小作文本身也就基本上合格了。

　　二、了解图形的分类规律

　　图形描述题，按照标准图形来分，可以分为line graph (curve), bar chart, pie chart以及table，按照表达重点来分，分为趋势类和大小类，分类依据于题中的时间列表。一般来说，出现时间段的图形题都是以描述数据变化趋势为主。

　　三、准备必要的.表达方式

　　1.与趋势有关的词语：

　　上升(动词)：increase, rise, climb, ascend, surge, shoot up

　　下降(动词)：decrease, decline, drop, fall, descend, plunge

　　持平(动词)：remain stable, keep constant, level off, flatten out

　　波动(动词)：fluctuate, wave, go up and down

　　快速(形容词/副词)：considerable/considerably, significant/significantly,substantial/substantially,remarkable/remarkably, dramatic/dramatically

　　稳步(形容词/副词)：steady/steadily, stable/stably, moderate/moderately, modest/modestly

　　缓慢(形容词/副词)：slight/slightly, minimal/minimally, marginal/marginally

　　顶点(名词 /动词)：peak

　　趋势(名词)：trend/ tendency

　　2. 相关词语：

　　百分比(名词)：proportion, rate, percentage, share

　　占据 (动词)：occupy, comprise, constitute, account for, represent.

　　数字：number, amount, data, figure

　　比例：rate, proportion, percentage, share

　　大约：roughly, about, nearly, approximately, a little less than, slightly more than

　　各自地：respectively, for each，severally

　　四、注重连词的使用

　　连词在语句中起着承上启下的作用，添加连词，可以增加文章的逻辑感，使得文章更加严谨，同时，文章中连词的使用也要讲究一定的形式，我们在文章中一般称之为形连。

　　五、Integrity and Perfection

　　文章有了恰当的表达方式，还需要进行一些细节方面的修饰，添加数据时，形式要整齐划一，有不随便删除和添加数量单位，增加连词的使用，加强文章的严谨度，采用一些多样化的数据添加方式，是文章看起来有理有据，中心思想贯穿全文。

　　主要数据添加方式有：

　　1. 利用标点，如括号和破折号

　　2. 利用介词，如with, at, to, by等

　　3. 利用分词或从句，倒装句
