不少烤鸭在备考写作时由于大作文分值占比高,将大部分精力都放在了大作文上
而且相对大作文而言,因为小作文在框架和表达上相对稳定,所以想要拿高分更加容易。但大家要知道,稳定≠固定,如果你在所有同一意思的表达中反复使用同一个固定单词(比如想要表达增加就全部都用"increase"),那你的分数也不会高到哪去。因为雅思写作评分标准中很重要的一项就是Lexical Resource(词汇丰富度),如果你学会变着花样表达同一个意思,那你就能展现出你的词汇丰富度。所以下面给大家介绍一下,在雅思小作文最高频出现的图表题中,你都能使用哪些词汇,以及有哪些能表达同一意思的替换词汇!良心干货,建议先马后看!!
首先,一篇完整的雅思小作文基本分为开头段、主体段和结尾段。开头段通常是将题干中的信息进行改写。改写方法主要有替换动词以及句型。这里有个通用句型介意运用到开头段:The +图表类型+ 动词+描述部分。根据这个句型,分别可以有以下词汇值得积累并使用↓↓diagram / table / figure / illustration / graph / chart / flow chart / picture/ presentation / pie chart / bar graph / column graph / line graph / table data/ data / information / pictorial / process diagram / map / pie chart and table/ bar graph and pie chart
动词
shows / represents / depicts / enumerates / illustrates / presents / gives / provides / delineate / outlines/ describes / delineates / expresses / denotes / compares / shows contrast / indicates / figures / gives data on / gives information on / presents information about / shows data about / demonstrates / sketch out / summarises...
描述部分
the comparison of… / the differences… / the changes... / the number of… / information on… / data on… / the proportion of… / the amount of/ data about... / comparative data... / the trend of.../ the percentages of... / the ratio of... / how the...主体段需要对图形进行具体的数据分析。通常要描述 when / what / where + 数据分析+趋势分析 。所以下面给大家介绍在描述趋势和变化时可用到的表达:
