2019年雅思写作小作文流程图解析及范文：废纸回收

2019年雅思写作小作文流程图解析及范文：废纸回收 The chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling. 范文： The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper. At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill. Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product： usable paper. (160 words, band 9)

雅思写作满分范文：雅思图表作文怎样才能拿满分

雅思写作满分范文：雅思图表作文怎样才能拿满分 The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002. Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category - 2002 构思过程： I know that I can write a short introduction by paraphrasing the question. I look for an overall trend. I can see that the food/drinks/tobacco category has the highest percentages, and leisure/education has the lowest. Now I want to write two main body paragraphs. I need to select something to say about each country. Remember, there is no rule about what information you select; everyone will do this differently. I look for the highest figures in each category: I can see that Turkey has the highest figure for food/drinks/tobacco AND for education/leisure. Italy has the highest figure for clothing/footwear. So, I'll write a paragraph about Turkey and Italy. My final paragraph needs to talk about Ireland, Spain and Sweden. Maybe I'll point out that Ireland has a high figure for the first category, Spain has the lowest figure for education/leisure, and Sweden has the lowest figures for the first AND second categories.

# 43. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The table below shows CO2 emissions for different forms of transport in the European Union. The Pie Chart shows the percentage of European Union funds being spent on different forms of transport. You should write at least 150 words.

model answer: The chart shows CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre for variuos methods of transport in the European Union while the pie chart shows European Union spending on transport. Flying by air produces by far the greatest CO2 emissions, approximately three times as much as passenger cars which are the next largest producers. Very little is spent by the EU on air travel while roads make up more than half of the EU transport budget. Trains produce about three times less CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre than passenger cars and eight times less than air travel. Nearly a third of EU transport funds are spent on railways. Ships are a clean form of transport and produce about the same amount of CO2 per passenger kilometre as trains do. However, only 2 percent of EU funds are spent on ports. A further one percent is spent on inland waterways. Coaches are the cleanest form of transport. Emissions of CO2 per passenger kilometre from coaches are half those of buses. Buses emit less than half as much CO2 per passenger kilometre as cars. The European Union spends 10 percent of its transport budget on public transport, such as buses and coaches. (197 words)

雅思小作文之图表作文

二.雅思图表作文 1.企业垃圾(线性图) 题目:The graph below shows the amounts of waste produced by three companies over a period of 15 years. 范文:The line graph compares three companies in terms of their waste output between the years 2000 and 2015. It is clear that there were significant changes in the amounts of waste produced by all three companies shown on the graph. While companies A and B saw waste output fall over the 15-year period, the amount of waste produced by company C increased considerably. In 2000, company A produced 12 tonnes of waste, while companies B and C produced around 8 tonnes and 4 tonnes of waste material respectively. Over the following 5 years, the waste output of companies B and C rose by around 2 tonnes, but the figure for company A fell by approximately 1 tonne. From 2005 to 2015, company A cut waste production by roughly 3 tonnes, and company B reduced its waste by around 7 tonnes. By contrast, company C saw an increase

2020雅思小作文流程图的写作方法

2020雅思小作文流程图的写作方法 雅思写作考试中的Task1小有三种题型：图表，流程图和地图。考生们备考时多把注意力放在图表题，对后两类题目准备不足甚至无准备，一旦真遇到了流程图和地图，往往束手无策，凭自己的直觉应付写一下，凑够字数交差。流程图和地图题的写作是有一定的方法的，按照方法来写，其实并不难，在本文中，先来探讨流程图作文的写作。 题目给出的是流程图，就是以图示的方法把一个过程或流程清楚地显示了出来，现在要求考生做的是把该流程图还原成说明文。由此可见，我们实际上要做的就是看图作文。而大家都知道，看图作文是我们在小学最初学写作文时的入门做法。照着图来写，省却了要自己想象和构思的过程，这自然比起写议论文的挑战度要低一些。所以，大家应该更有信心去对付流程图作文，毕竟实际上所做的是“看图作文”。 流程图作文是以对流程的描述为主的。全文的安排通常分为两个主要部分：引言段和主体部分。引言段是用来作简介的，介绍该流程图表示了一个什么什么的过程，常用的句型为主语+谓语+宾语模式。然后视情况可以多加一句说整个过程可以分为若干个阶段。引言段只需一段，通常就是这么一二句话。

主体部分是文章的核心部分，主要是说明该流程，所以是说明文式的行文。主体部分可依照整个流程分成几个阶段而大体相应地分为几个自然段。主体部分的写作原则如下： 这是首要前提，理解了流程图表示的是什么以及是怎样的一个过程，才谈得上用文字表达出来。能否看得懂图取决于几方面的因素：词汇量，知识面，生活经验和常识等。考生平时要有心地做一下这些方面的积累和准备。一般来说，流程图是不难看懂的。万一有些什么地方卡住了，也要大胆地合乎逻辑地去猜测，推想，判断，要灵活机敏。 流程图会表示一个过程的流向顺序。因此，不难按照图示的顺序来写。若是分成几个阶段的，就按顺序逐个阶段来描述，通常就相应地分成几个自然段落。 流程图中会提供一些关键的说明性的词，比如步骤或环节的名称，怎样做，添加什么原料，去掉什么，输送到哪儿等等。我们就可以直接利用这些关键词写成句子，方法有两类，依照图的情况而分别采用之。如果流程图比较简短，用扩展的办法，就是以一个关键词为核心词，扩展成一个甚至两个句子，以达到字数的要求。反之，若图比较长而复杂，就采用串的办法，一句话把两个甚至三个步骤串起来，这样可以把较长的过程压缩得短一些来描述。无论用

雅思写作中99%的雅思学生都会犯的图表作文问题

图表：99%的雅思学生都会犯的图表作文问题 1.一般没有had a decrease/ increase的说法，一般是saw a decrease/increase。 2. Increased, decreased, declined 这些上升和下降的词都没有被动语态。 3.当the number, the amount, the figure， the proportion做句子的主语的时候，不能用account for。 4.The proportion of 后面不能加句子，譬如说 the proportion of people worked in the healthcare sector是错的，要写成the proportion of people who worked in the healthcare sector 5.Make up, account for, constitute这些词一般只用于出现了分数或者百分比的题目，不用于描述其他数据。 6. The amount不能替换the number； the number of后面一定要加可数名词复数 7. Ratio和rate一般不能替代proportion和percentage 8. Picture 不能替换graph 或者chart 9. 不要用定语从句读数据，譬如说 the crime rate in the US was highest, which was 0.3%. 这里的which was 直接省略。 10. 结尾段一般不写in conclusion 11. 结尾段不能写数据 12. 一般是compared with，而不是comparing with 13. Followed by后面要写名词，而且这个名词要和主句的主语性质差不多 14. Reach 读数据的时候不能加to或者at, 直接加数据就可以 15. 说人年龄的时候应该是aged，譬如说people aged from 15 to 24 16. 一般不会用过去进行时态，也就是was increasing/decreasing 是错的 17. While, whereas一定要连接两个独立的句子，不能够单独存在 18. While 一般用于两个不同东西的对比，很少用于描述一个对象自己的上升和下降 19. 副词slightly不能修饰名词，应该是slight increase, drop 20. 小作文一般用不到minimum这个词，minimal的意思不是“最小的”，而是“基本上可以忽略不计的” 21. 尽量不要用套句，如果用，要注意不要写错，it is worth noting that, it should be noted that 22. 图表作文一般用不到on the contrary, 用in contrast, by contrast即可 23. 表示波动可以说fluctuated，不要写saw a fluctuation 24. Reduce和raise这两个词小作文用不到，因为是及物动词；arise也不能替代rise；“ascent/descent”不能用在小作文里。 25. remained 后面只能加形容词，也就是“remain constantly”是错的，只有“remain constant” 26. 在动态图里，一般是rose “数字”-fold，譬如说是”rose fivefold”而不是“rose five times” 27.

The chart describes how water is obtained outdoors. 2. 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. 3. When the sun shines on the green plants in the hole, water evaporates from these plants. The vapor 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. 流程图的重点： 1.平时的格式 As is displayed in the flow chart, the process/principle, etc of _____ can be explained/ analyzed/ specified as follows.

雅思小作文范文--流程图写作详解!

流程图写作雅思小作文范文 今天我们就利用一篇经典的考官的雅思小作文范文，来向同学们展示一下关于令大家非常头疼的流程图的写作带给我们的启示：流程图其实一点都不难，掌握好了其中的语法知识点，我们甚至可以拿高分。 雅思写作中，和它联系最为紧密的就是语法。雅思写作四项评分中，语法作为重中之重被提及。语法基础不好，难有好作文的形成。如果一篇英语作文中反复出现低级的语法错误，那么无论你的观点多么吸引人，原本的写作立意多么新颖精彩，生产的都只是一篇有缺陷的英语作文，多会让阅读者对你文章的整体印象打折扣：-一个连基础语法都错误连连的作者，会有能力写出一篇思维严谨的作文吗? 读题分析：由于蚕的生命旅程并不是哪一个特定时刻发生的事情，而是一个公认的自然常识。它是作为一个流程而时时刻刻都在发生的事情，因此采用时态中的一般现在时来表达整篇文字就是最适合不过了 考官范文： The first diagram shows that there are four main stages in the life of the silkworm. First of all, eggs are produced by the moth and it takes ten days for each egg to become a silkworm larva that feeds on mulberry leaves. This stage lasts for

up to 6 weeks until the larva produces a cocoon of silk thread around itself. After a period of about 3 weeks, the adult moths eventually emerge from these cocoons and the life cycle begins again. 详细分析： 一、首先准备流程图的写作时，先考虑一下文章结构的完整。好的文章一般都是“总-分-总”结构，所以看看此文章的开头：The first diagram shows that there are four main stages in the life of the silkworm。这样的开头很符合文章“总起”的结构，所以宾语从句在小作文的开头一般不可少，the first diagram是主语，shows是谓语，that是连接词，而后面的内容都是shows的宾语，因此宾语从句是大家可以利用的开头句型，既简洁又有力。 另外，一定要尽量使用到三大从句来给你的作文增添光彩，刚刚已经讲完宾语从句，另二种复杂句则分别出现在：”…a silkworm larva that feeds on mulberry leaves”句子由that引导的定语从句和由until引导的”This stage lasts for up to 6 weeks until the larva produces a cocoon of silk thread around itself”时间状语从句这两个部分。定语从句能够使得你想表述的对象“silkworm larva”更加具体形象，而状语从句则是可以展现出流程图中时间结构的法宝。 二、There are four main stages…典型的there be 结构，可以说是雅思小作文写作中的一个法宝。只要带有了there be句型，文章就显得非常客观。比如下面这个句型就是

雅思图表作文TASK1精讲精练

雅思图表作文TASK1精讲精练 A理论部分： 雅思小作文概论 1、文章结构：主要分三部分：i。introductory sentence；ii。body paragraph；iii。Concluding sentence 具体讲：第一段introductory sentence只要写一句话，交待图形（如the line graph, pie chart 等等），描述对象（如图表描述的是the number of tourists visiting England），地点（如the US, the UK等）以及时间（如between 1988 and 1997等等）；另外要注意的就是第一段不能和图表上方已给的句子太过相似！否则，会失分的! 第二部分一般写1~3段，这要视情况而定。这部分主要就是对比不同的数据，如相似或相同的数据；某个数据是另一个数据的2倍；某个数据所占比例最大或最小等等。 最后一段concluding sentence也只要写一句话，主要是总结图表的整个趋势。 2。文章的效果。很多学生会发现小作文的例文特别简单（尤其是剑桥书里提供的）。原因很简单，这个report的目的就是要让university lecturer了解某个事物的发展趋势，所以写出来的文章必须结构清晰、易懂，绝对不能太复杂，也不要把每个数据都描写出来，只要描写有代表性的，重要的数据即可。 以下为雅思小作文的四个基本步骤 第一步：改写题目 通过同义词转换在短短的1分钟内就写好作文的第一段。 举例:The graph below shows the percentage of people unable to find work in three major countries from 1983 to 1992. 题目中划线的单词都可以进行同义转换: graph—figure, show—illustrate, percentage—proportion, major—key, from…to…—between…and…, 第二步：分析时态 1. 图表小作文大部分时候使用过去时态，因为出现的数据一般都是以往的统计数据，过去的情形和现在的情形很有可能完全不一样，因此用过去时态比较恰当。 例句1: In the 2002 survey, over 75% of respondents with annual incomes above$ 100,000 considered leisure time extremely or very important.

Both immigration and emigration rates rose over the period shown, but the figures for immigration were significantly higher. Net migration peaked in 2004 and 2007. In 1999, over 450,000 people came to live in the UK, while the number of people who emigrated stood at just under 300,000. The figure for net migration was around 160,000, and

it remained at a similar level until 2003. From 1999 to 2004, the immigration rate rose by nearly 150,000 people, but there was a much smaller rise in emigration. Net migration peaked at almost 250,000 people in 2004. After 2004, the rate of immigration remained high, but the number of people emigrating fluctuated. Emigration fell suddenly in 2007, before peaking at about 420,000 people in 2008. As a result, the net migration figure rose to around 240,000 in 2007, but fell back to around 160,000 in 2008.(159)
