雅思小作文雅思写作小作文干货:必写特征数据及小作文常用词
提到雅思小作文数据题,很多同学都会不由自主的挠头:“最讨厌数字了,”“我数学不好”,“哪个该写,哪个不该写呢”等等都会成为考生的常见问题。不仅如此,由于考生词汇量的缺乏,小作文数据类词汇也是他们很头疼的事。今天这篇文章会将上面的问题一网打尽,让雅思考生的小作文写作不再难。
备考时,面对饼图、柱图、线图等各式各样的数据,学生很容易忙乱,再加上考试时间短(20分钟),更怕写超了(或写不完)。那么,什么样的数据该写呢, 请注意,如果图中出现以下数据,就一定要“交代“。
在静态表格图中,极值,等值,倍数关系是必写的,其中极值包括最大值和最小值。在动态图例如折线图,我们必须要写的数值包括:起点,终点及转折点,其中转折点你只需介绍非常明显的转折点即可,否则由于小作文考试时间短,很有可能写不完。在其他动态图如柱图饼图等,请同学们注意,变化趋势是必写的特征数据,当然也是因为时间的关系,只需介绍明显的趋势即可。对于其他数据,只要在时间允许的情况下尽量多介绍就好。
谈到了趋势,我们肯定要用到上升,下降等等一系列词汇。那么,这些词在英文中到底该怎么表达呢。接下来我为大家进行了整理,而且都是一些简单又经典的词汇。请注意:每组最多背3个就足够。
一、动词,(括号里为过去时)
1. 表上升:go up (went up) / increase (increased) / grow (grew) / rise (rose)
2. 表下降:decline(declined)/fall(fell)/ drop (dropped)/ decrease (decreased)
3. 表波动的动词:fluctuate (fluctuated)
4. 表稳定于某一水平(的短语):remain stable at/ remain steady at
5.表示经历了某种变化:see (saw)/ witness (witnessed) / experience (experienced)
6. 表示到达最高点(的短语):peak at/ reach its peak at
7. 表示到达最低点(的短语):reach its lowest point at/ fall to its lowest point at
8. 达到/位于:reach/stand at
9. 表占多少份额(的动词): account for (accounted for) /represent (represented) /make up (made up)/constitute (constituted)
10. 表对将来数字的预测(以被动出现):is expected / is predicted / is projected
11. 变成原来两倍或三倍:double/increase twofold, triple
二、形容词和副词,括号里为副词
1. 表急剧的形容词:sharp (sharply) /rapid (rapidly) /dramatic (dramatically)
2. 表持续的形容词:consistent(consistently)
3. 表显著:significant(significantly) / considerable (considerably)
4. 表很小幅度:slight (slightly)
5. 表大约:about / around/ approximately
6. 分别: respectively
经过了上面的整理,同学们看完后是否就没那么恐惧了呢?小作文写作真的不像大家想象得那么难。接下来就是行动的时间了,小作文和大作文一样,一定要多写多练,实践检验理论嘛。
接下来我想说下学生在大作文写作上的问题。中国考生普遍在写作上摒弃不了中国思维,从而写出的文章会有些不太符合外国文章的习惯,这些都很正常,用了十几二十几年的语言已经在我们的头脑中定型,想一下改过来也没那么容易。例如一个学生想表达为了使人们变得更加健康,我们需要改善一些饮食习惯,比如说不吃夜宵,要吃早饭等等,那么他翻译过来的时候就说“don’t eat food at night, and must have breakfast,”这里就不太符合英语的表达习惯,首先,祈使句是不可以用在写作里,而且更地道的表达应该是we should avoid having food at night,所以,就需要同学们在学习中多积累,并逐渐摒弃中文思维。

The charts compare the percentage of time adults spend in six areas including shopping, cooking, eating, developing hobbies, reading and socializing between 1998 and 2010.
Generally speaking, the overall trends were quite similar from 1998 and 2010, to be more accurate, more than 20% of their spare time had been used for building social connections, followed by developing their hobbies, reading and shopping as well. On the contrary, people spent limited time on cooking and eating, the percentage of which was less than 10 in 1998 and even 5 in 2010.
However, slight differences can also be observed. To be specific, the time spent on shopping, and developing hobbies had increased obviously, from 10% to 15% and from 15% to 20% respectively during that period of time. Meanwhile, a subtle increase can be seen regarding socializing. In addition to this, the percentage of time used for reading maintained steady. By contrast, compared with 1998, people spent less time on cooking and eating due to the change of lifestyle in that country.

The maps illustrate some changes that were made to a city hospital's transport infrastructure between the years 2007 and 2010.
It is noticeable that three main modifications were made to the hospital’s vehicle access. These involved the building of a new bus station, new roundabouts and new parking facilities.
Looking at the changes in more detail, we can see that in 2007 there were three bus stops on either side of Hospital Road. These were no longer present in 2010, and instead we see the addition of a bus station on the west side of Hospital Road. This bus station is accessed via two new roundabouts; the first roundabout is at the intersection of City Road and Hospital Road, while the second is at the other end of Hospital Road, at the junction with the hospital ring road.
The two maps also show that changes were made to public and staff parking areas. In 2007, staff and visitors used the same car park, which was situated to the east of Hospital Road and accessed via the ring road. However, by 2010 this original car park had become a designated area for staff parking only. A new car park, located on the east side of the ring road, provided parking for members of the public.
