#回憶題目#據考生回憶2013年1月5日雅思寫作部分(A類)小作文為兩餅圖,一張為某年人們離開英國的原因,令一張為同年人們抵達英國的原因。(見下圖)官方備考指南可參見劍橋B8P30(PIE和TABLE拼圖)、B8P53(三餅圖)和B7P101(四餅圖)
#備考點睛#餅圖分為兩類:一是數值類;二為百分比類。在實戰中又以百分比類題目出現的次數居多。相對于bar, line, table, map和diagram來說,餅圖如果提供的是一個時間點,那么在具體措辭時,“占”無疑為首選,如若為多個時間點,可參照對line的描述,這里列舉一下B8P53中如何對furniture and equipment的數據變化進行寫作:The year 1991 saw a sharp decrease of 10 percent in expense on furniture and equipment which rose to 23 percent in 2001.所以建議諸位考生在對待某一類題目時,要全方位考量寫作出發點,能否利用發散性思維,由此及彼,環環相扣!所以之前花些時間進行思考就顯得尤為重要。
#備考語匯#
1-“如圖所示”According to the pie chart(s),.../As is shown in the pie chart(s),...;
2-“占”take up/represent/account for/constitute/make up;
3-“分數”a quarter of/half of/three-fifths/a third;
4-“大/少部分”a large/thumping majority(minority) of/be in the majority(minority)/a large portion/proportion of;
5-“形容詞”meager/unbelievable/negligible/trifling/moderate
#2013年1月10日寄語#
2013年一個新的輪回已悄然開始(Quietly 2012 took his/her leave as quietly as the year 2013 came.),就小作文而言,六大類題型會逐一拜訪各位備戰中的烤鴨,如果細分的話,餅柱線表四位一體,地圖流程合二為一,建議兩大類時間分配比為4:1。1月10號,在這短短不到一周的時間里,建議各位練習一下:
B7P78: The chart below shows information about changes in average house prices in five different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average house prices in 1989.
B7P53: The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004.

大作文-Some people spend more time reading books, while others prefer to watch TV.The former group are more likely to develop creative imaginations and have a much better grasp of language skills. Do you agree or disagree?

introductory paragraph需要交代一下background information+thesis statement+a clear position;
Reference Answer:
When people are requested to make a reply to how they can cultivate their language skills or turn out to be imaginative. Reading and watching TV are two possible answers. Some people forcefully argue that reading is more conducive than TV viewing to our fellow human beings' personal development. From my perspective, it is fully justified. This essay will analyze the aforementioned issue from two aspects.
supporting paragraphs用兩段可分別闡述:一方面,讀書可以讓我們有充裕的時間進行思考,這無疑會讓我們插上想象力的翅膀而飛翔在知識的天空,更便于打下堅實的語言基礎;相反,看電視則是屬于一種快餐式的消費,隨著電視節目不斷往下進行,似乎觀眾無暇去思考太多;
concluding paragraph為全文做summary+closing remarks
Reference Answer:
To conclude, there is no doubt that a bigger population can garner benefits from TV watching, however, as for those who are willing to develop their imaginative abilities and have an excellent command of language skills, reading is admittedly a better choice.
