雅思写作第二课

一题目改写练习(Introduction)

１.The graph below shows the percentage of people unable to find work in three major countries from 1983 to 1992.

２.The graph below shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1950, 1970, and 1990.

３.The table below shows information on income, taxes and prices in five cities around the world. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

４.The two pie charts below show the types of communication used in 1962 and 1982.

常见开头段同义词替换表：

show demonstrate/ reveal/ illustrate/ display/ compare/ indicate/ depict

２.数据分析原则(Body)

第一句话总结图中比较显著的趋势或者特征，其余句子按照第四点中所规定的顺序逐句叙述

图表内容。主体部分每一个句子一般有三个组成部分，分别是文字信息、数字信息和比较。很多考生习惯在作文中把数字逐一读出，这是不好的习惯。事实上，文字信息比数字信息更为重要，文字信息可以让读者清楚了解图表的主要信息，而数据只是起辅助的作用。

比较下面的句子：

例如：The average US family had people in 1915, in 1967 and in 2006.

改后句子：

The average family size in the US has been shrinking(文字信息),

from people in 1967 to people in 2006（数字信息）,

compared to people in 1915（比较信息）.

起点，结点和数量相等点，倍数点必写

３.语言表达

表示上升的动词（以下每组词背两到三个即够替换）

表示急速上升的动词

表示下降的动词

相关句型：

1. There was a (dramatic/ steady/ slight) increase/ decline in the amount of …over the period from …to…

There be句式在大小作文中都可适当穿插。

2. The data of …experienced/ underwent a considerable growth between …and…, rising from 2600 to 6300.

“经历”一词可以使单词书面感加强。分词的使用使得文章复杂感增强。

3. The period from...to…saw a marginal decrease in the proportion of ….

时间做主语，会让句型变化更为强烈。“saw”在此刻做“见证”理解，充满了拟人的氛围，让语言更赋有吸引力。

4. The growth was suddenly replaced by a sharply downward trend.

“被取代”有很强的承上启下之感。

5. A slight decline was actually found in bicycle travel.

又是一句被动的成功范例。

6. The general trend of…is downwards/ upwards.

表达总趋势时可派上用场。

7. Despite the impressive growth in the total workforce, however, there was a 10% decrease from 180000 to 161200 in the number of employees.

“despite”后加名词或名词词组，“although”后则加句子。

8. Only in the 1700s was there an obvious decline.

倒装句的点缀令语言锦上添花。

9. The number of …was 5 times more than that in 1900.

倍数的表达可以使数据间关系更为清晰。

10. The number of ….was roughly doubled / tripled betwe en 1996 and 2002.

两倍，三倍的表达有专业的动词表达。

在描述过程中还有很多的conjunctional words/sentences，最常用的固定搭配如下：

并列： as well as(句首/中), also, as well(句尾), either, neither, too, moreover, furthermore, in addition, additionally, besides, what’s more, apart from ...

举例： for example, for instance, to illustrate, as an illustration, in particular, particularly, especially

事实： as a matter of fact, in fact, actually, as long as, so long as ...

雷同/近似：similarly, likewise(句首/尾), at the same time, equally ...

转折： however, whereas, nevertheless, nonetheless, though, although, even though, while, yet, on the contrary, contrarily, in contrast, conversely, on the other hand, unlikely, instead (of)
