第一篇:雅思小作文实用小技巧6则
每次考试回忆都会有童鞋问到关于小作文的一些诸如时态方面的问题,今天我给大家整理总结一下雅思小作文写作时比较实用的一些小技巧,希望能帮助童鞋们比较清晰地了解掌握小作文写作要求和评分方面考官比较注重的地方以及具体转化到写作行文当中去,祝大家顺利通过小作文这关,加油!
1.关于小作文的字数,童鞋切忌少字数,这是基本的task没有完成;同时也不是字数越多越好,因为小作文讲究精炼,要求描述主要内容,不是要面面俱到。更切记不要为了达到字数而“滥竽充数”。
2.关于小作文和大作文的答题安排。这个一般有各自的习惯,孰先孰后这个没有很大的关系,但是一般如果你觉得大作文比较难写的话建议先写大作文,毕竟大作文所占分值高。另外无论如何尽量给大作文多留一些时间。
3.关于小作文时态。由于小作文给出的时间坐标多以过去时间为主,所以主要时态一般为过去时,但也有其他时态,这个要看时间坐标和具体行文。
4.关于小作文的架构。为求简洁,条理和层次,开篇引入段、中间描述段,结尾总结段无疑是非常好的架构。着重说一下中间描述段,行文尽量利于对比和类比,从图表给出的数据和图形本身入手,巧妙使用比较级最高级以及分数倍数等语法手段进行立体感强烈的多方位描述。行文展开的同时要注重逻辑性(老外很看重)。
5.关于小作文的措词和炼句。小作文本身字数不多,如果用来表现主要信息量的单词出现重复势必会影响得分,这里给小作文的词汇多样性提出了很高的要求。句子方面,不宜过于复杂,力求精辟,可多用插入语和伴随状语。另外小作文是客观性文章,不要出现带有主观意识的词汇和句子。
6.最后,书写要尽量工整,考官批阅时间有限,如果字迹潦草无疑会影响考官评分;写完后检查错别字,不要因为错别字扣分,你会伤不起。
注:以上小作文写作技巧适合A类考生,另外地图和流程图的写法要相对系统,以上第四点不能完全涵盖这两个图的写法。

饼图Pie
As shown in the first chart, oil was the world’s main energy source, accounting for 37% of the energy consumption in 2005.Followed by coal and natural gas, constituting 28% and 23% respectively.By comparison, the proportion of nuclear power was small, 6%, equating that of hydro-electricity.Saudi Arabia accounts for the largest proportion of the world’s oil reserves, 20%, well ahead of Canada, the country with the second biggest reserve, 14%.Behind Canada are four Middle East countries, namely Iran(10%), Iraq(9%), Kuwait(8%)and United Arab(8%).By contrast, the reserves of Venezuela, Russia and the united states are relatively small, making up 6%, 5% and 2@ respectively.The remaining 18% is found in other countries.Pic
The three pie charts show how university students in three countries spent their money in the year 2003.In general, students in countries A spent slightly more than those in country B(US$5,000 and US$4,500 respectively).In comparison, student expenditure in country C was considerably lower, at only US$1,500 per year.Accommodation and food were the two biggest items of expenditure.Altogether they constituted around 60% of the total students’ expenditure in all the three countries.The difference is that in country A and B accommodation spending exceeded food spending while the reverse was true for country C.The rest of the students’ spending was divided among leisure, books and others.Leisure spending constituted a larger percentage(around 20%)of student expenditure in both country A and B, while in country C more money was spent on books(12%)than on leisure(12%).Overall, as wealth decreased, the percentage of students’ spending on non-essential items reduced.柱状图Bar
Pic
This bar chart shows the changes in the amount of oil discovered worldwide every 5 years from 1950 to 2005 and the predicted figures from 2010 to 2020.In 1950, the world oil discovery stood at 20 billion barrels a year, which grew dramatically over the next 15 years to reach a peak at approximately 56 billion barrels in 1965.However, from this year onwards, the growth of oil discovery was suddenly replaced by a sharply downward trend, with some ups and downs, to approximately 6 billion barrels a year in 2005, about 1/10of its peak amount in 1965.It is predicted that 7 billion barrels of oil will be discovered worldwide in the year 2010, and this figure is forecast to decline steadily to an all-time low of only 3 billion barrels in 2020.In conclusion, this chart shows that world oil discovery peaked in the 1960s but has been declining for over 40 years, and this trend is expected to continue into the near future.The bar chat shows information about the areas of land damaged by human activities in four major continents of the world.The area of land damaged in Africa and Asia are similar, totalling approximately 1,200 million hectares for each, while in Australia and Europe the numbers are considerably lower, averaging between 300and 400 million.Looking at the causes behind land damages, it can be seen that in African, Europe and especially Australia, breeding is the leading cause of land loss, damaging approximately 500, 100 and 400 million hectares of land respectively.Next comes tree-cutting which takes away slightly larger areas of land than farming in all the three regions.Asia shows a slightly different picture, where tree-cutting activities have led to the largest amount of land loss(450 million hectares).Breeding and farming account for the remaining damage(380 and 420 million hectares respectively).Overall, breeding causes the most pervasive damage to land around the world.折线图 line
Overall, the world population rose sharply from less than 500 million in the 1400s to 6 billion in 2000, a growth of 12 times over 600 years.The increase was more dramatic after 1800 and only in the 1700s was there an obvious decline(1.2 billion to 0.9 billion).The ozone hole was at its smallest size of about 400 thousand square km in 1980, but 20 years later, it was enlarged by 9 times to 3.6 million square km.The only period when there was a reduction in size was in the early 1990s(from 2 to 1.2 million square km).流程图diagram
The diagram shows the stages in the process of making chocolate.Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, which is grown in parts of south America, Africa and Indonesia.The tree produces large red pods which contain white cocoa beans.Firstly when the pods are ripe, they are harvested, the beans are removed and they are fermented for several days in large wooden boxes.During the fermenting process, the beans turn brown.Next, the brown beans are spread in the sun to dry.They are then put in large sacks and transported by train or lorry.After this, the beans are taken to a chocolate factory where they are roasted in an oven at temperatures of between 250 and 350 degree Celsius.After being roasted, the beans are crushed and the outer shell is removed.This part is not needed for making chocolate.Finally, the inner part of the bean is pressed and liquid chocolate is produced.(pic)
The chart describes how water is obtained outdoors.According to the figure, the first step of obtaining water outdoors is to find a hole with green plants on its bottom.Next, remove the green plants in the middle and put a container there.Then, cover the hole with a plastic sheet and place two stones on both ends of it to secure its position.A third stone is laid on the middle of the plastic sheet so that the middle part is also the lowest part.When the sun shines on the green plants in the hole, water evaporates from these plants.The vapour rises up and then cools down to form water drops on the plastic sheet.When there is more and more water, it flows along the sheet to accumulate on the lowest part.Finally, water falls down into the container directly under the middle stone.Thus, water is collected successfully through evaporation from green plants.Pic
In cool climate special attention is given to the use of building materials that have a high thermal mass.Insulation is used on the outside of heavy materials such as concrete, brick or adobe.This kind of material stores heat and slowly releases it while external insulation ensures that all heat absorbed by wall materials is released inside the building.Careful positioning of the building and large windows facing winter sunlight also assist to passively heat the house.The roof has an extreme angle to assist with snow runoff and roof overhang does not interfere with sunlight.Homes in warm climate require the opposite approach.Insulation and reflective roof material aim to keep heat from the sun out.Windows are placed under a wider roof overhang so that they are shaded form direct light in the day and so that cooler night air can move through the house when the windows are open.Map地图

The three diagrams illustrate what the village of Kelsbey looked like in 1780, 1860, and 2000.In 1780, Kelsbey had only 100 homes, but it had a large expense of woods in the eastern part of the village and four plots of farmland in the middle.In the west there was a river running from north to south.The year 1860 saw a doubling of the number of homes but the size of farmland and woods was reduced by half.In the same year, a bridge could be seen over the river and a road was constructed linking the river to the residences.140 years later, the number of homes more than doubled to 500, but farms and woods completely disappeared.Several school buildings and sports facilities were constructed at the south-eastern corner of the village, which were connected with the residential area in the north by a newly-built road.Some shops opened up along the river bank and a large stretch of wetland for birds was established at the southern end of the river.大作文
Body paragraph A
It is first important to realise that art is the key part of cultural legacy;therefore, it is meaningful to conserve the art for the cultural diversity.For example, painting in different culture has a range of styles, genres, tools and materials.If we did not protect it, a form of art would be disappeared.Besides, some work of art such as graffiti, spark people’s imaginations and provide them a novel perspective to view the world.The arts can develop a culture which people pursue art as a hobby.Furthermore, arts also improved the environment attractive, which is reflected in architecture and gardening design.Body paragraph B
Although arts are very important, we observe public facilities should get more subsidy than arts from government.Citizens are more interested in the availability of public facilities, such as, water and electricity supply, schools, libraries and roads, these facilities have a direct impact on their daily lives.By contrast, for most people, sculptures, paintings or operas are luxury items, which cannot bring any tangible benefit to them.Another reason is that the arts can sometimes yield high returns and therefore succeed in receiving business sponsorship.This is particularly the cause when arts include music, movies, operas and creative arts.Therefore, it is pointless to support the use of public funds for this purpose, if basic facilities are underfunded.

饼图:pie chart
直方图或柱形图:bar chart / histogram
趋势曲线图:line chart / curve diagram
表格图:table
流程图或过程图:flow chart / sequence diagram
程序图:processing/procedures diagram
以下是一些较常用的描述用法

......阅卷考官经常是不会看那些图表的,因此文章必须逻辑清晰,如果描述得能令人在脑海里勾画出那个data chart,这篇task1无疑会达到8分的水平。开篇的第一句话可以是一句高度概
括性的introduction(当然开门见山直接描述也是一种写法);这样做不仅使文章更趋于完美,而且可以达到凑字数的目的(但不要照抄题目,除非时间相当紧迫)。接下来另起一段开始进行描述(根据实际情况1-2段),这当中经常要连续使用非限定性定于从句,从而使得描述过程流畅、清晰。最后也可再另起一段进行简短的综述(并非必须)。上述的任何一个步骤都要遵循依据现有data进行客观描述的原则,任何推测性或议论性的内容写得再多、再精彩不仅不会加分,而且还会成为扣分的因素。
二、data的具体表达法
data在某一个时间段固定不变:fixed in time
在一系列的时间段中转变:changes over time
持续变化的data在不同情况下:
增加:increase / raise / rise / go up...减少:decrease / grow down / drop / fall...波动:fluctuate / rebound / undulate / wave...稳定:remain stable / stabilize / level off...最常用的两种表达法:

2.Adjective+Noun form
There was a(very)sudden/rapid/dramatic/significant/sharp/steep/steady/gradual/slow/slight+increase/jump/rise/decrease/drop/fall/fluctuation(注意:上述很多词不可用于修饰fluctuation)
+in the number of XXX from(第一时间)to(第二时间)/ between(第一时间)and(第二时间)
描述稳定的data:
The number of XXX remained steady/stable from(第一时间)to(第二时间)/ between(第一时间)and(第二时间)
The number of XXX stayed the same from(第一时间)to(第二时间)/ between(第一时间)and(第二时间)
There was little change / hardly any change / no change in the number of XXX from from(第一时间)to(第二时间)/ between(第一时间)and(第二时间)
描述不同状态的data
Noun form:
steady drop / sharp rise peak / dramatic fall / sharp drop
Verbal form:
(to)bottom out /(to)reach the bottom /(to)increase gradually /(to)reach a plateau /(to)remain steady
描述the highest point以及the lowest point
高点极值:
The monthly profit / The figures / The situation...+peaked in(月份/年)<准确时间点用at XXX> at XXX% / XXX(极点data)
或者reached a peak / a high point at XXX% / XXX(极点data)
低点极值:
XXX bottomed out / reached
+rock / the bottom / a low point
或者hit a trough
此外,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

1.cause-suggestion(几乎不常用)
since / now that...;I hope that...because of/on account of/owing to/thanks to +(doing)sth, I hope that...2.cause-effect(较常用)
XXX lead to / bring about / result in/ account for...(一个句子), therefore / thus / hence / as a result / consequently /(and)so...3.effect-cause(较常用)
