雅思寫作技巧——圖表題開頭應(yīng)該怎么寫？

　　雅思寫作中Task 1通常都是考察考生對(duì)一些圖表的客觀概述能力，針對(duì)那些圖表，究竟怎么開篇才會(huì)比較好呢?

　　接下來就跟著小編一起來看看吧。

　　一、如何著手

　　萬事開頭難，雅思寫作Task 1也是一樣，那么考生應(yīng)從何處著手呢?In IELTS writingmodule, the most complicated part is writing the introduction. If you have a good technique for this, then the rest ofthe task is easy.

　　觀察圖表后的直觀感受Refer to the visual directly

　　題目中會(huì)有圖表基本信息的說明~ theinstructions in the IELTS test will normally give you this information.比如“This graph shows the population ofCanada in from 1867 up to 2007.”

　　但是考生不能直接把原畫抄下來，而是要paraphrase~If you copy directly from the paper you are wasting time, since the examiner cannot assess your English from a copied sentence.

　　通過paraphrase同義轉(zhuǎn)換，再加上圖表顯示的大致趨勢/走向，就可以簡短概括圖表內(nèi)容~比如“There was a sharp increase in thepopulation of Canada from 1867 up to 2007.” Thisway is perfectly acceptable, and shows that you are able to recognize the main concept or message that the graph ortable shows.

　　用一句/兩句話概括出圖表內(nèi)容并不簡單，Super給出以下例句供考生參考~In order to use this method, it is necessary to use a few fixedexpressions, which refer to the text itself, like those below.

　　二、開篇總結(jié)性例句

　　• Therewas a substantial increase in the value of stocks on March 15th.(xxx的價(jià)值顯著增加)

　　• House prices rose dramatically in July.(xxx的價(jià)格急劇上升)

　　• The number of tourists visiting New York fellsharply in October.(xxx的數(shù)量急劇減少)

　　• The percentage of students walking to school continuedto rise gradually over the ten year period from 2000-2010.(xxx的比例在某期間內(nèi)持續(xù)增加)

　　•There was a sharp increase in employee turnover after the strike.(xxx大幅增加)

　　• Interest in environmentalissues has risen steadily over the last 10years.(在某期間，xxx穩(wěn)步上升)

　　三、一些需要注意的表達(dá)

　　1.百分比

　　通常在數(shù)字后面the word percentcomes after a number

　　【Examples】More than 25% of the students are from Brazil./More than 25 percent of the students come from Brazil.

　　2.百分比

　　通常在large/high等形容詞后面 The word percentage comes after words like the,a, this and that. Often, it is preceded by an adjective.

　　【Examples】A small percentage of residents have lived in the building for more than 20 years.

　　The percentage of students who live on campus has fallen sharply since the fire.

　　3.近似值、百分比、分?jǐn)?shù)

　　In many of the IELTS writingtask 1 questions, we will have to deal with percentages. This is a good opportunity to express these percentages in adifferent way and boost our score.考生要熟悉百分?jǐn)?shù)、分?jǐn)?shù)、比例如何表達(dá)~A way of varying this language is to express them as fractions or proportions.

　　用不同的方式表示“比例”可以為你的寫作加分~Remember that we should vary our language as much as possible in order to score high inthe ‘lexical resource’ part of the test. Itis also fine to use approximations.

　　【Examples】‘49%’ can be expressed as ‘nearly a half’.
