雅思作文线状图（实用20篇）

如果说有什么方法可以提高雅思写作成绩，我想从根本上提高的唯一办法就是转变思维方式，也就是把中式思维向英式思维靠拢，只有这样才能符合雅思考官的喜好，才能得高分。本文中，将具体介绍一下中式思维和英式思维的区别，以及怎样才能写出更符合雅思考官要求的作文。

事实上，如果脑袋里有一个中文的概念或者想法，要用英文来表达的时候总是免不了紧张，因为由于中英两国的文化不同，很多东西无法表达----非常可能不是因为考生的语言问题，而是因为这个中国的概念在英文里面根本就不存在。有数字统计过中英两国语言的词汇量只有40%能互通(所谓的equivalent)，而这就意味着剩余的60%的表达肯定是和原文有很大出入的。甚至很多我们生活中经常使用的语言，不假思索就能说出的概念，在英语文化里很可能根本就没有对应的表达，例如热闹这个词，考生们可以试试能否在英文单词中找到让你满意的对得上号的词。这个地方很热闹这句话，根据语境可以有不同的翻译，但是总体而言，热闹作为一个词来说，在英文里几乎是没有对应的。

正因为如此，我们才强调，写英语作文，说英语口语，要用英语思维，不要用中式思维。这对于很多人来说是个很空洞的概念，只有当你真正用英语与外国人交流的时候才会体会到英式思维的重要性。

这的确很难，因为我们在中式思维里面扎根的太深了。事实上，这也和两国语言本身的特点有关。鲁迅就说过，中文和外文比，吃亏就吃在不够精确，具体到单词水平，就是词汇量少。因为词汇量少，因此中文特别讲究上下文，一个模糊的词只有在一个特定的语境里面才能让读者感到一个特定的意思。相比而言，英文在这方面就不是这样，具体的说，大部分英语词都是有着非常确定的意思的，因此，那些在中文里面需要联系上下文才能端倪出的细微差别，也许在英文里面只是另一个单词而已。记住这点，笔者下面所说的也许会对诸位有用，在这里，笔者提供一个方法，就是如果你脑袋中有一个想法的话，仔细想想你到底想精确说的是什么意思。比如，当你想说某一个命题错误的时候，你最好想清楚它到底错在哪里，illogical, irresponsible, biased, prejudice, fallacy, untrue这些词之间都有着或大或小的差别，所以主要想看你到底想说的是什么。

所以，诸位想锻炼写作的话，建议要做的第一样功课，就是求精细。只有你自己求精细了，才能发现报刊、书籍中对相近的概念的不同表达法的精妙之处，才会由衷地为某篇文章的一个用词会心一笑。写作就是思维表达的一种形式。西方人直线式的思维方式体现在语言上就是西方人说话写文章喜欢开门见山，把关键性的话放在开头，然后再论及其它次要的内容。

而写作涉及到语言的方方面面，从语言的结构上来说最基本的因素包括遣词、造句和篇章。螺旋与直入的思维差异就会影响到这些方面，具体包括修饰语与中心词、句子和篇章。

一、修饰语与中心词

英语的修饰语，如介词短语、动词不定式、分词、定语从句等皆放在被修饰语的后面;而汉语的修饰语无论长短、繁简，皆置于被修饰语的前面。体现了直入与螺旋的不同的思维方式。例如：

1. The scientists everywhere in the world are looking for the efficient methods to make the air clean and protect it from the pollution by all kinds of industrial harmful waste gases.

汉语全世界的科学家，修饰语在前，中心词在后，而英语则是中心词在前，修饰语在后。净化空气、防止空气受到各种有害工业废气污染的有效方法同样是修饰语在前，中心词在后，而英语则相反。

2. We appreciate your words about the relations between our two countries.

汉语有关我们两国关系的谈话，修饰语在前，中心词在后，而英语则是中心词在前，修饰语在后。有关我们两国关系，同样是修饰语在前，中心词在后，而英语则相反。

3. The hungry boy ate up everything he could have his hands on from the refrigerator.

他从冰箱里所能拿到的吃的东西，修饰语在前，中心词在后，而英语则是中心词在前，修饰语在后。

4. The problem arose of how to fairly distribute the world natural resources.

比较而言，该句主语太长，谓语太短，构成了不连续性修饰语，不过还是有些突兀，但修饰语还得后置。而汉语怎样合理分配世界自然资然的问题仍是修饰语在前，中心词在后。

二、句子

英语句子开门见山，其主谓结构是全句的纲，其余成份是目，一般先下结论，后叙事，从近到远，新近发生的事先出现，重心落在句首。汉语句子一般以逻辑关系和时间的先后顺序排列，一般先叙事，后下结论，由远及近，重心落在句尾。这种差异体现了直入与螺旋的不同的思维方式。

中国学生在英语写作时往往会受汉语思维的影响，写出下面的句子：

1. When I stayed in Guangzhou last month, you helped me. I am grateful for that.

2. Toms mother died when he was only two years old, so he did not remember her.

3. After we left China in 1959, the natural calamities happened one after another for three years in the country. While we read about it at home, we had been dismayed.

4. It looked rain that evening, yet Dad came all the same. That made us very joyful.

如果按英语直入的思维方式，以上几句要改写成：

1. I am very grateful for your help to me during my stay in Guangzhou last month.

2. Tom did not remember his mother who died when he was only two years old.

3. We had been dismayed at home while reading of the natural calamities that happened one after another for three years after we left China in 1959.

4. It looked rain that evening, yet to our great joy, Dad came all the same.

这种思维方式的转换要是更复杂一点，对中国学生来说，是需要操练的。例如：

1. 我认为如果他们初次相识时，她很穷，他未必会爱她。这位女性由于对他有好感而帮助他，使他心存感激，这种感激之情很容易发展成为真挚的爱情。

I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for the help which he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. (条件关系和多层因果关系的转换)

2. 她去深圳参加一个会议，会议结束后，她就到香港去购物，昨天才回来。

She came back yesterday from Hong Kong where she had gone shopping after the meeting in Shenzhen.(时间顺序的转换)

三、段落篇章

这里篇章包括段落和全文。总体而言，英文篇章，一般都采用直线型的形式，尤其是说明文和议论文，更是一般具体式的。英语篇章是a writer-responsible pattern, 即作者在篇章中有责任、有义务向读者交代其主旨或目的。为使读者省时高效，英语篇章开门见山，一开头就直接点明段落的主题句 (topic sentence) 或全文的中心思想 (thesis statement), 即亮明作者的观点、态度、看法等;或者以引言开门，即首先用一个熟悉的事实、观点、故事、引言等开头，然后直接见到作者全文的观点思想。

由以上分析可知，西方人的直线式思维和中国人的螺旋式思维存在明显的差异，体现在语言中，几乎渗透到语言的各个单位，包括词汇、句子、段落和全篇。当然，笔者无意说思维模式孰好孰坏，正如我们不能断言文化模式孰好孰坏一样。但作为学英语的中国人，学原汁原味的语言是我们要达到的最高境界。自然，这里的语言也应包括discourse或text。因此考生们要知道，一种思维是一种文化长期的积淀，它已进入该民族的潜意识，根深蒂固，如果只学语言本身，不会知其所以然，一旦到了使用语言时，汉语思维自然突现，写出Chinglish, 浑然不知。此外，建议考生多背诵和模仿英语经典文章，如《新概念英语》第三册上的文章，笔者认为皆为语言的精华，不但文词优美，每课都是一篇范文，原汁原味，多读这样的文章，一定会有所启发。由此看来，老生常谈而又令人费解的学会用英语思维，倒不如换个说法学会英汉思维转换，即懂得英汉思维的差异，在平时读书的时候去真实地领悟，久而久之，就能写出地道的英文来，至少不会写出那么多的Chinglish。

综上所述，想要取得雅思写作7分甚至更高的分数，单靠所谓的模板和复杂的句式是做不到的，只有从写作思维模式上进行改变，才有可能取得好的写作成绩。而中式思维的根深蒂固必定会对正确的英语写作思维产生阻力，因此，临摹英式思维的文章以及阅读海外学术著作对于转变写作思维有着至关重要的作用。

The two charts give information about single-occupant households in England in the year 2011. The bar chart compares figures for occupants age and gender, and the pie chart shows data about the number of bedrooms in these homes.

Overall, females made up a higher proportion of people living alone than males, and this difference is particularly noticeable in the older age categories. We can also see that the most common number of bedrooms in a single-occupant home was two.

A significant majority of the people aged 65 or over who were living alone in England in 2011 were female. Women made up around 72% of single occupants aged 75 to 84, and 76% of those aged 85 or over. By contrast, among younger adults the figures for males were higher. For example, in the 35-49 age category, men accounted for nearly 65% of people living alone.

In the same year, 35.4% of one-person households in England had two bedrooms, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom homes accounted for 28% and 29.8% of the total. Under 7% of single-occupant homes had four or more bedrooms.

the ninth day of the ninth lunar month

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period . According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember ones ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.

在雅思考试中，写作部分要求考生在60分钟内完成两篇作文。第一篇是小作文，要求考生描述图表反映的内容和问题，字数为150个词以上：第二篇是大作文，要求考生根据题目要求写一篇议论文，字数为250个词以上。写作单项的满分为9分，采取半分制：写作部分的总分是小作文分数的1/3加上大作文分数的2/3。由于分值权重方面的原因，很多考生都高度重视大作文，却忽视了小作文的重要性。这主要表现为两种情况：一是考生平时很少练习小作文，导致其在20分钟内无法完成小作文，从而挤占了大作文的写作时间：二是由于比较看重大作文，一部分考生在考试的时候会选择先写大作文，并因过于谨慎仔细而占用了很多时间，最终导致没有时间完成小作文。这两种情况都会导致考生的写作成绩被拖后腿。

根据写作部分的计分权重来算，对于写作分数目标是5.5分的考生，一般来说有以下两种方案可选：

方案A：小作文5分，大作文6分，写作成绩=5.5分：方案B：小作文6分，大作文5分，写作成绩=5.5分。这两个方案殊途同归，但是因为大作文比小作文难拿到高分，因而方案B比较容易实现。这就意味着，写作分数目标是5.5分的考生应重点提高小作文的写作水平。

下面小编为大家整理了一篇雅思写作技巧的相关信息，是关于间接表达法的。间接表达法这种在雅思写作技巧是用在这样的情况下的：有的时候，发言者为了充分地表达自己的观点，或者为了使自己的观点显得不偏激，会很委婉地表述观点。下面我们一起来看看。

间接表述观点

比如：

Well， I dont think you should start with the case study too early unless you have made full preparation or you might find you cant meet the deadline. However， it really is the best approach you can try to get peoples response though it is somewhat time-consuming. If you think you can spare your study time， just go for it.

第一句话出现dont think，转折词However引出了意思上大的转变，这里的it really is the best approach就是很大的一个转折，说明持支持的态度的。此外，最后一句话是总结性的观点，一句just go for it非常清楚地再次表示其支持观点。

间接观点表达：

Through observation study， you can just watch and take notes. And you can get some unforeseeable results from peoples behavior， but it can only cover certain aspects. Therefore， you need other research method to assist it. But you can try if you want.中立

雅思写作考试是对考生的综合语言能力的考查，但有的考生在备考过程中，往往只是注重应试培养。那我们应该如何合理高效的备考雅思写作呢?

正如之前上面所说，许多考生备考过程中，往往会忽视了对语言知识和实际运用能力的锻炼，那么常见不可取的备考方法有哪些？考生们可以来看看自己有没有中枪

1. 话题准备，厚此薄彼：

教育类和科技类话题通常是雅思写作题库的主角，尤其是教育类话题，考试频率相对来说比较高，如剑9写作的4个话题中，就有两个是教育类。可是这就造成了一些考生在备考雅思写作时比较偏心，只是准备教育类和科技类话题，疯狂的背相关词汇，表达及素材观点，对其他话题却置之不理，这让其他话题情何以堪啊。其实，纵观近几年的雅思写作考试，社会类，环境类和媒体类等话题始终都是一线演员，拥有着和教育类及科技类话题一样比较高的出镜率，而其他话题也不断上位。因此，考生应了解近年雅思写作考试题库和出题规律，针对不同题型和话题，掌握写作方法和技巧，积累相关的词汇表达，句型结构和素材观点，确保万无一失。

另外，在准备雅思图表作文时，同学们不应该只练习曲线图，饼图，柱状图和表格的写作，还要重视流程图和地图题，熟悉表示时间次序和地理方位的相关短语及表达。尤其是地图题出现的频率在近两年的雅思考试中呈现了明显的上升态势，而其中以考察历史变迁的类型为主。所谓历史变迁，即某个地方在经历一段时间后发生了一些调整或改变，可能是地图上的建筑物从无到有，也可能是建筑的位置改变或是规模的扩大或缩小等等。需要同学们从给定的地图中挖掘相应的信息，按照时间和空间顺序，用恰当的语言有逻辑的呈现给读者。《剑九》Test 1就为我们呈现了一道变迁题。这种图表其实难度不大，但是有的童鞋在平时备考的过程中接触且准备的很少，所以在考场上根本无法动笔。事实上，如果我们在备考时，熟记表示方位的词汇和表达，仔细分析并经常练习此类题目，我们就能更好地把握这类题目的写作技巧与方法，在考场上遇到此类题目时不再迷茫。

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities,

in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these

countries, aiding the conservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.

[商业与文化英语作文

对绝大多数学生来说，写作是雅思4门考试中最难的。很多同学从来就没有用英文写过文章，但写作反应一个人的综合英语水平，它又是4门中最重要的。对于基础班的同学来说，他们最大的问题是词汇和语法，而语言恰恰是写作的评分标准之一，没有好的语言，思路和结构再好也没有用。所以提高语言运用的准确性是第一个要解决的问题。我最近刚开始教一个基础班，第一次不限字数让学生写一个印象最深的人。交上来的文章出现最大的问题就是语言表达。他们的思路很好，内容也比较充实，但是语法错误通篇都是，词汇量也很小。

对于这种情况，首先要做的就是帮助他们梳理语法结构。因为这些学生有一定的英语基础但是很不扎实，语法虽然知道但是漏洞很多，我给他们讲解语法时尽量简单，比如讲到动词不定式的复合结构作主语的情况时，必须要用形式主语来表示。学生会觉得这些理论知识很难记，这时我就让他们背这样一个一般结构：It is +adj+for sb. to do sth. 写作的最终目的是要写出准确的句子，所以在讲语法时给学生总结一些句型比单纯的讲语法会更容易让他们接受。又如，在讲到当动词不定式作定语时，一般与被修饰词有动宾关系，如果动词不定式为不及物动词，则在动词不定式后加上相应的介词。很多学生刚听这个会觉得很抽象，我就举了这个例子：Please give the child a pen to write with. 在判断到底要不要在动词后面加介词时，只要把to后面的动词和相应的宾语做一个动宾搭配，看意思是否正确即可，因为只能说write with a pen(用笔写)，而不能说write a pen（写笔）。

语法的问题解决了，下面就是词汇量的问题了。我曾经给一个基础班的同学作过练习，发现他们的词汇量不算特别少，但是却很少会用一些固定搭配和句型。写作光有单词不行的，所以在强调词汇量的时候一定要突出词组和句型的重要性。对于一些基本的词组搭配可以参考四六级，有时候也要做些总结，如在讲到prefer这个字是，我要求学生熟记它的三个用法：prefer A to B；prefer doing A to doing B；prefer to do A rather than do B.不少学生一直搞不清prefer怎么有时候可以加to do, 有时候又能加doing, 光解释一致性原则他们还是会用错，所以就让他们记住这三个固定用法吧，所有人都会用了。在基础词组掌握了之后，可以补充一些和大小作文相关的词汇，让他们逐渐熟悉起考试的一些固定用法，为将来正式写作打下基础。

假设你的文章字数是400字，那么你大概要写40～50个句子。把这40～50个句子，排成编号，从第1个到第40个，也就是从文章的第一句话到最后一句话，你都知道要写什么，并且知道怎么写，甚至每个句子你都掌握了2～3个漂亮的句式，这样你还担心自己拿不到高分吗?再假设，这40～50个句子，你有50%都已经是固定句式了，也就是成了自己的写作套路，那么你还愁文章写不完么?比如说，我总是喜欢在文章最后一句 话 说 ：In a word， it is rather superficial to simply say that……+观点，给个真题例子：In a word， it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers。用一句话说，简单地认为父母是最好的老师是相当肤浅的。大家想一想，任何事情simply say都可以说是相当肤浅的。因此这句话就是一句比较万能的结束语。这句话怎么来的呢?这是官方题库里的第2篇，是我和大家在课上积累来的。只要大家一起努力，我们一定会成功提炼出自己的高分模版。

一直以来，雅思写作考试的大作文主体段的拓展往往是很多考生在写作中突显的最为薄弱的一个环节，其中论证过程单薄、不充分、没有力量，导致论点站不住脚是主要的原因，从而使得整篇文章留下失败的一笔。议论文，说到底，最关键的一点就是让读者对你在文章中所体现的立场认同。要做到这一点，靠的就是论点和论证。论点要合理、明确，且不要重复，要有层次;论证要做到充分，要有强大的力量把论点支撑起来，让读者心服口服，认同你的想法。作为海外考试来说，考生要做的就是让考官明确地知道你的想法，并且认同你，最终让他给你一个合理且满意的写作分数。

如何成功地完成主体段落的拓展呢?要勾画出一个充实且具有说服力的论证过程，我们当然要使用到一些论证手段，结合这些论证方法的使用，协助我们较好地完成相对来说最困难的论证过程。

一、 举例论证法

要更为直观地反映问题，举例无疑是最好的选择，也是最具有说服力的。常见的引出实例的方式：如for example, for instance, as is reported, It is reported that…, 可作为插入语的结构使用在句中。实例也可以分为几种情况，如下：

1. 应用名人实例，这是大家都知道的事情，容易引起共鸣。如在教育类话题中有一个考点涉及到中学生要不要学历史，在论证古人的经验和智慧给我们很多借鉴意义时，就可以引用一些名人的例子。

Charles Darwin, for example, taught us that only the fittest can survive, which is more than ever true in today’s competitive society.

2. 应用某些调查研究结果，常结合具体数据，更能增强真实性说服力。社会类话题老人问题上，要求分析人口老龄化所带来的影响，其中谈到积极意义时，会提到老人对家庭及社会的贡献。我们可以在两个地方找到列数据的点，一是老人的年龄，二是在有意义的事情上所花的时间，可以得出论证过程如下：

As is reported, the average time that the retired within the age group above 65 spend on the family and the community is at its length of about 5 hours per day.

3. 应用生活中具有普遍性的现象或有代表性的亲身经历。在文化这类较为抽象的话题中，有典型地要求分析文化差异会带来的不同国家人之间的冲突，可以引用这样的现象：

A western woman travelling to the Middle East may find it annoying to have to wear headscarf during a journey.

要做到恰当合适地使用实例进行论证，要求考生在平时的准备过程中，就要着重对各大话题常见的考点进行典型实例的收集，最好是比较万能的一些例子，这样就能充分利用举例子的优势，在考试中赢得高分。

二、 解释说明(拓展影响)法

中心论点表达一般比较空泛、笼统，作为论证，首先就要对空泛的意思加以具体地解释，说明原因，解释过程，阐述影响，这是一种惯用的思维，这里打不开，后面说得再多也可能都是白搭。常结合定语从句，分词的语法应用。我们来看一个例子：

By travelling abroad, we have the opportunity to experience different customs, cultures and lifestyles, helping us better understand the whole world.

这个句子是对论点出国旅游有助于我们开拓眼界的论证，采取的就是解释的方式，目的就是协助论点表达得更透彻。

三、 因果推理法

这种方法是基于一个事实的陈述，推出它可能会产生的结果，然后一环扣着一环往下推，直至目标内容出现，也就是论点的内容呈现了。常结合因果关系的状语从句结构展开论证，要注意推理逻辑连接词的应用，如as, since, because, therefore, hence, thus, as a consequence, consequently, ……

论证高中生毕业后先去工作再上大学的这种作为会带来的不利影响之一——这种方式容易使高中生误入歧途，论证过程如下：Since high school students are mentally immature, they are less likely to resist the temptation in the real world. As a result, they are more prone to some social evils, such as theft, drug abuse, and so on. So, they may easily go astray and even commit crime.

四、 对照对比论证法

拿相同或相反的事物做比较，相同关系叫对照(comparison)，相反关系叫对比(contrast)。此类论证考生需要重点掌握一些对比对照关系的连词：in contrast, by contrast, on the contrary, while, whereas, likewise, similarly, by the same token。

先看个例子，如：论证广告给消费者提供及时信息，帮助他们做决定中论述到：By contrast, without advertising, a consumer is at the risk of purchasing a product that fails to meet all of his or her needs, because of lack of knowledge of better alternatives in the market.这就是从反面着手，阐述如果没有广告，消费者会受到的影响，用反方的劣势达到衬托正方优势的效果。若想使论点具有说服力，可以尝试寻找对应的参照物相比较，在所选参照物明显的不足面前，本来事物的优点会立刻容易被人信服。

再来分析下对照的例子：They cite that in the sports world, records are always created when a sportsman is facing tough competitions. They believe that, by the same token, in a classroom where clever minds meet, students can achieve their best due to peer pressure. 拿体育比赛中的情况作对照，突出分班教学的必要性。

五、 让步论证法

欲擒故纵的高超写法，对考生来说比较陌生，先退一步承认与自己观点相反的事实，再转折给出自己的观点，否定前者。让步这种方法的优点是能较为全面地看待一个问题，而且反驳更能有的放矢。比如举一个大家特别熟悉的例子，一个男生向女生表白时被拒绝，女生会很委婉地表示，先肯定男生有很多优点，但最终会表示自己并不喜欢他，他不是她喜欢的类型。这种方式一方面不会伤害到男孩的自尊，同时也鲜明地表达了自己的想法。在这种论证中，常见句型如下：although / though / in spite of the fact that…; as is granted / admittedly…; opponents would argue that…

用以下例子加以说明：

1. As is granted, saving money offers people a sense of security in case of emergency. However, people tend to believe that wise investment can get more profits.

2. Opponents would argue that some of the violence shown on TV is the true portrayal of what is happening around us and people have the right to know it. Although this is undoubtedly true, it also means that people who see them a lot may gradually develop a sense of insecurity and mistrust as they are forced to believe they are living in a dangerous world.

地球上备考雅思的同学都知道，雅思作文分成两篇，一篇是看图表写作文（小作文），另一篇是根据话题写观点类（大作文）。写作都需要构思，我们从上学时期就开始就某观点写文章，所以大作文的构思还是比较接近我们的教育内容的。而看图写文章呢，虽然我们从小学时代就开始写这类文章，但是此图非彼图，那时的我们写的是做好事，拾金不昧啦，扶老奶奶过马路啦，都是叙事性文章，写完事件还要抒情一番。但是呢，雅思小作文要我们写的是理性描述客观数据或过程，不需要感慨性的结尾。很多同学，特别是文科出身的，就觉得大脑转换不过来了，开始害怕甚至抵触小作文，简直就要放弃小作文了。别急，只要对症下药，小作文——还是有救的。

小作文种类不少，根据图表的不同，我们把它分成线图，饼图，柱状图，表格，地图，流程图，物品比较图（出题频率非常非常低，备考时间紧张的同学可以暂时忽略）这几种。当我们面对一篇小作文时，首先要看的是它属于哪种类型的图，不同的图表题，有不同的思路和专门的词汇。以线图为例，在下笔前我们需要看横纵坐标，看数据，线的走向；专门的词汇就根据线图的特点应运而生啦，根据线的走向就会有上升（increase）、下降（decrease）、波动（fluctuate）等。(至于小作文的用词推荐《十天突破雅思写作》中的词汇，针对性非常强。)

正是因为这个原因，很多考生在写小作文时就完全把自己禁锢在这几种分类了，只要是线图就一定按线图的思路，如果是饼图就一定按饼图的百分比来写。殊不知，这样会局限自己的思路，有时候选择的写法是最难写，又不易拿分的。

因此，从大局上来说，首先我们在观察小作文图表时，应当灵活，不必拘泥于题目给出的形式。比如说，一些题目表面给出的是柱状图，但是仔细看过后，发现这些图是有上升下降变化趋势的，那么这个时候我们就按线图的思路来写。有的题目又以饼图的面目出现，一下子给出三张饼图，可是分析过这几幅图的关系，发现不同项目所占比例也是有升降变化的，那此时也可以按线图的思路来写。一句话表明，就是先观察大局，再观察数据细节。

观察图表的大局确定写作思路，那就要求我们对几种图表的思路有很好的把握。首先看一下线图的思路。

面对任何一种图表，都要先认真审题，包括图表标题，单位等，总之各种微小的单词文字都要尽收眼底，才不会出一些误差性错误。当我们拿到线图的作文，看完上述细节后，就是看本图的横纵坐标及其对应的项目和数字特点,此时要注意单位不要漏写；接下来看线段的条数及走向，这个跟我们文章的段落分配有很大关系。

其实小作文分段无所谓对错，怎么分段都可以。但是，在众多分段方法中，一定是有较优方案的。这里的分段方法仅供参考，并不是唯一的。如果图表中只有一条线段，那么除掉开头、结尾段，中间的主体段（描述具体数据的段落）既可以写一段，也可以根据图表中线段起伏特点来分成两段等。比如图表中给出的是一年中货物的销售量，前半年销售高，后半年略低，那边就可以按年份分成两段。

当遇到的图表有两条线段时，可以先考虑是否适合分两个主体段描述，如果这两条线段关联性非常强，更适合同时描述的话，也可以写成一段。

在面对有三条及以上线段的图表题时，我们就要观察这些线段是否有走向一致或相反的情况，如果有，这些一致货相反走向的线段就可以同时写。因为这样不仅清晰，而且简明易懂。

为什么单单一个线图的思路就说这么多呢？因为我们都知道小作文的字数要求是不少于150单词，而实践中呢，学生往往会出现两种情况，一是无话可说，觉得没什么可介绍的；二是滔滔不绝，下笔如有神。这两个都需要避免：情况一好解决，只要过了新手这个阶段就好，属于一个自然过度期；而情况二是需要自己有个简明的思路才能解决的。因为小作文的字数最好不要多于180字。雅思的官方要求是能简明的描述图表。在练习小作文时，要始终铭记一句话：让看不到图表的人，只读自己的文章就能在脑海中有图表的大致影像。

妙计一： 避免空洞的单词和词组

1. 一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：

When all things are considered ， young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents， in my opinion.

这句话当中的 when all things are considered 和 in my opinion 都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为：

Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.

2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：

Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents， they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.

due to the fact that 就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：

Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents， they did not have the options that young people have now.

妙计二： 避免重复

1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复，但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子： ：

[写出完美雅思作文的妙计有哪些

雅思考试中写作作为文字输出最多的一个部分，不仅考察了同学们的英语写作能力，而且很多细节语法只是的掌握程度也很能在雅思写作中体现出来，而从以往的雅思写作考试来看，扣分的点往往不是那些有难度的语法，而是一些最基础的语法知识。

一、such as与for example的混用

我们知道，在表示举例子的时候，such as与like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare。

但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道，后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法：

There is a similar word in many languages， such as in French and Italian。

这里的such as改为for example为好，因为in French and Italian其实是there is a similar word in French and Italian的简化，所以要用for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子：

It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects， for example physics。

二、assume 及claim 使用不够准确

我们知道， think，assume，claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中，同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的，完全可以代换，所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同：

一、compare与contrast的误用

我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为：to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为：to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同，而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

看个例句：

It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours。

前一句翻译为：对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

后一句的翻译为：我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同，这很有趣。

再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY的例子：

There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West。

The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier。

When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast。

不难发现，Compare 翻译为 与。。。相比而contrast可译为明显不同的是。。。，切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

二、介词使用错误

1、普通介词的误用

一般表现为固定搭配错误，如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等，虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅，但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的，当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老：把常见的固定搭配牢记于心，问题自然就解决了。

2、to作为介词的误用

to最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的，所以同学们也已经习惯了 to do的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错：

如：

More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them。

这里的 take to means to begin to do sth as a habit 其中 to为介词，所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词，如动名词。所以黑体处应改为depending on。take to的另一个常用用法也需要牢记：

He hasnt taken to his new school. (这里take to means to start liking sb or sth)

Prefer A to B中的 to也是介词，会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这里朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒您，prefer to do sth rather than do sth中的to可是真正的不定式符号。

类似的常用用法请同学们牢记：

Be used to doing

Be accustomed to doing

See to doing

Adapt to doing

Adjust to doing

prefer doing sth. to doing sth。

等等，请注意平时仔细积累。

三、assume及claim使用不够准确

我们知道， think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中，同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的，完全可以代换，所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同：

Think: to have opinion or belief about sth。

翻译为认为，通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it。

翻译为假设、假定，是否有事实依据是不确定的。

Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it。

翻译为声称，用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点，所以很少用作 I claim that

Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, 。

所以 It is claimed that 通常翻译为有报道称。。。。和it is reported that 的区别在于后者翻译为据报道，往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容，

Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

翻译为考虑，一般不用作引出观点，看个例子：

We are considering buying a new car。

所以，提醒您，千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。

四、表建议的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句

这是摘自学生作文中的一个病句：

I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school。

因为 suggest翻译为建议，所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气，黑体部分应该改为 (should) continue

提醒您，一定要牢记以下常见表建议的词汇，而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气：

Recommend, suggest, advise

五、such as与for example的混用

我们知道，在表示举例子的时候，such as 与like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare。

但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道，后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法：

There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian。

这里的such as改为 for example为好，因为in French and Italian其实是there is a similar word in French and Italian的简化，所以要用 for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子：

It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics。

最后，要提醒各位考生，在平时的写作中绝对不能放过任何的模棱两可，只有平时斤斤计较才能做到写作使人精确。

印象里的英语学习要皓首穷经，绝非易事，可眼下，学英语越来越像时尚，新时代的社交名媛，如果嘴里不拽几句E文，似乎跟不上潮流。E文的好处显而易见：学，可以读点专业著作，比如源自西方的金融学，工作累了还可以去国外充个电，别人一问，我美国英国回来的，别管能力咋样，过江龙，倍儿有面子；玩，多门语言，去英语国家就多了份洒脱，多了份自信；赚钱，进个外企，多点国际移动力，炒个美股，信息传递损失为零哈。

没做出啥惊天地泣鬼神的事情之前，英语偷着好还不行，还得人家认可，于是雅思这个考试就横空出世了，IELTS（International English Language Testing System，国际英语测试系统），听说读写都包括，其中写作部分1小时，写400个词，掐指算来，我作为新东方老师跟这400个字儿较劲也两年多了。其实当水平远远凌驾于考试之上时，考试就像个周末的礼拜，如果英语灵光，雅思写作也不用刻意准备。先说说咋提高E文写作水平：

首先，腹有诗书气自华，读的多了，自然写作能力就强。读啥呢，Reading should have a purpose. 把读的内容和自己的目的衔接起来当然最好，选个自己喜欢的语言风格，文学性的或学术性的皆可，我挺喜欢美剧《学徒》里Donald Trump的风格，一看就是贵族教育，写的，字字珠玑。

其次，学以致用啊，最简单的方法就是free writing了，每天抽点时间，写个几百字，不在乎文法，不在乎用词，能说清楚就成。原来在外企那阵儿，每天都写点酸不溜丢的小情书，还专门买了本《外国名人情书》，每天看的不亦乐乎。

再次，该注意点精度了，要不满嘴错误咋进上流社会啊。买本《英语语法新思维》，从走近语法，看到通悟语法，每天再做点课后练习。Writing makes an exact man. 弗朗西斯·培根说的没错，写作让人精确，听说读写，只有写作绕不过语法。

接下来，趁热打铁，让考试做监工，从雅思的Report和Essay，到GRE的Argument和Issue，强化练个百十来篇，形成自己的写作风格。

最后，曲不离口，拳不离手，隔三差五读点大家之作，写点小文章，或者做点小翻译，保持一下水平；或者干脆出国学习工作一段时间，一劳永逸的解决E文问题。看看人家谢国忠的E文，人家也在国内读的本科，人和人差距咋这么大呢。‘Whither Anglo-Saxon Model? - Home prices in the United Kingdom fell by 2.5% in March， the biggest drop since 1992. Compared with a year earlier， the prices rose by 1.1%， the slowest in 12 years. The UKs house prices have increased by 171% in the past ten years， twice as much as personal disposable income. The tightening credit market， as reflected in the high labor rate， suggests the March number not an accident. When liquidity dries up， a bubble will surely burst. The end of the UKs property bubble seems here.…’再比如最近帮朋友看了篇学术论文，还是挺锻炼人的。学术翻译中第一要注是准确性，不要求句式和词语的多样性，同一术语前后用词最好保持一致。而且汉语中的长句子，必须先行分拆，然后用并列动词，并列状语，或者并列短句子来翻译。

其实道理说起来都挺简单，跟成功学似的，关键是能做到的人太少。英语不是一切，今天的多元社会，人总有权选择不学。我的观点是，英语要么不学，要么就学好，学个半斤八两最没劲；而且现在E文好的人越来越多，不仅要会General English，还要会用专业Professional English来讨论问题。吴思说的好，当社会潜规则越来越少时，个人综合素质还是挺重要的。
