雅思小作文的句式变化技巧

雅思小作文的句式变化技巧

句型的丰富度是雅思写作技巧中非常重要的点,而高分的雅思小作文写作范文往往也是有着丰富的句型搭配和词汇运用,下面新东方网雅思频道就通过实例来讲解一下如果在雅思小作文写作中运用更丰富的句型技巧。

一般雅思小作文题目中就有明确要求在文中对所给数据进行分析比较,因此要想将主体段完成好肯定少不了“对比,比较,连接”等连接词以及语句,如while, however, in spite of, in stark contrast等连词,也包括类似it is clear that等插入语。

当然为了拿到高分,除了一些常用的搭配与表达之外,更地道或是更高级的表示也是必须要掌握的,主体段要想写的精彩,除了各式用词之外,也绝对离不开句式的搭配运用,简单的“淡妆”相信是难不倒考生的,但也必须注意结合“浓妆”,适当加入高级的表示方法。

如:中国的出生率从19xx年至19xx年上升,之后下降到19xx年的5%左右。运用不同级别的词汇句式即可写出如下3种表达方式:

“淡妆”级别:China’s birth rate rose from 1920 to 1935. It then decreased to 1940 at about 5%.(用词简单,直接翻译的简单句)

“浓抹”级别:China’s birth rate rose from around 10 percent in 1920 to 15 percent in 1935, and then it fell sharply to somewhere at the vicinity of 5 percent in 1940.(用词调整的并列句)

考官提供范文中也有类似表达:In spite of some fluctuations in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries.(剑5 P162 Model Answer)

“烟熏妆”级别:Increasing from approximately 10 percent in 1920 to 15 percent in 1935, China’s birth rate then plunged to a low of just 5 percent in 1940.(首先导入分词伴随代替常规的China’s birth rate开头,且用词更高深);

十分建议各位考生可根据自己的语言功底适当添加此类级别的句子,以增加新鲜感和色彩,从而提高分数。

当然此类句式也能时常在考官提供的范文中找到:The first potential location is outside the town itself, and is sited just off themain road to the town of Hindon, lying 12 kms to the north-west.(剑5 P166 Model Answer)

从就可以看出来,雅思小作文主体部分的写作方法是有很多种的,但是复杂一些的写作方法总是会更容易吸引考官的眼球而且也更容易达到写作的字数要求,所以建议大家都向最后一种表达方式靠拢。

总之,丰富的句型能让你的雅思小作文写作更出彩,当然也不是通篇都是相当复杂的句型和生僻词汇就是好事,这样反而让考官觉得整篇雅思小作文写作的表达不够地道,甚至太过生硬,总之要把握好雅思小作文写作中复杂句式使用的度。

第二部分:Task1 写作常识

一、图形种类及概述法:

泛指一份数据图表:a data graph/chart/diagram/illustration/table

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

The table/chart diagram/graph shows (that)

According to the table/chart diagram/graph

As (is) shown in the table/chart diagram/graph

As can be seen from the table/chart/diagram/graph/figures,

figures/statistics shows (that)...

It can be seen from the figures/statistics

We can see from the figures/statistics

It is clear from the figures/statistics

It is apparent from the figures/statistics

table/chart/diagram/graph figures (that) ...

table/chart/diagram/graph shows/describes/illustrates how

......

开篇的第一句话可以是一句高度概括性的introduction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 / undulate / wave ... The price of vegetables fluctuates seasonally. 稳定:remain stable / stabilize

最常用的两种表达法:

动词 + 副词形式(Verb+Adverb form)

形容词 + 名词形式(Adjective+Noun form)

1. Verb+Adverb form 动词+副词格式

The number of XXX

+ increase/jump/rise/decrease/drop/fall/fluctuate...

+insignificantly/significantly/slightly/suddenly/rapidly/dramatically/sharply/steeply/steadily/gradually/slowly... +from (第一时间) to (第二时间) / between (第一时间) and (第二时间)

2. Adjective+Noun form 形容词+名词格式

There was a (very) sudden/rapid/dramatic/significant/sharp/steep/steady/gradual/slow/slight

+ increase/jump/rise/decrease/drop/fall/fluctuation (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 (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&nb

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 (降至最低点)/ reached

+ the bottom / a low point

或者hit a trough (低谷,低谷期)

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

事实: as a matter of fact, in fact, actually, as long as, so long as ...

雷同/近似:similarly, likewise(句首/尾), at the same time, equally ...

转折: however, whereas, nevertheless, nonetheless, though, although, even though, while, yet, on the contrary, contrarily, in contrast, conversely, on the other hand, unlikely, instead (of), in spite of, despite of ...

原因与结果

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)

XXX be caused by / result from / be the result of / be the effect of / be the consequence of ... (一个句子), because ...
