2.5 necessary vocabulary 必备词汇（课堂补充，课后记忆）

2.5.1 introduction

You need to begin with one or two sentences that state what the IELTS writing task 1 shows. To do

Here is an example for the above line graph:

The line graph compares the fast food consumption of teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.

You can see this says the same thing as the title, but in a different way.

2.5.2 General trend

It is recommended to write the general trend parts in the same paragraph with the introduction. The general trend part should focus the main point of the presentation and should not be too large with lots of information. However you should not give the specific figure, time, amount or data presented in the graph. You can use phrase like As is presented/ as is observed / in general / in common etc. to start this part.

One thing that stands out in this graph is that one type of fast food fell over the period, whilst the other two increased, so this would be a good overview.

Here is an example:

Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the period, whereas the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were eaten increased.

This covers the main changes that took place over the whole period.

You may sometimes see this overview as a conclusion. It does not matter if you put it in the conclusion or the introduction when you do an IELTS writing task 1, but you should provide an overview in one of these places.

2.5.3 Detailed description

The Detailed description part comes after the introduction and general trend and should be written in the second paragraph. When you give the detail in your body paragraphs in your IELTS writing task 1, you must make reference to the data.

The key to organizing your body paragraphs for an IELTS writing task 1 is to group data together where there are patterns.

To do this you need to identify any similarities and differences.

Look at the graph –what things are similar and what things are different?

As we have already identified in the overview, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the
