十天突破雅思写作

1 其实你不懂雅思写作

1.1 多数中国考生无法回答的6个问题

**怎样选择你的考点?**考点不影响

写作考场里应该先写Task 1还是Task 2? 哪个准备充分就先写哪个

句子越长越难就越容易得高分吗? 不是,好的句子是清晰准确恰当

拼写错误会扣分吗? 容忍少量拼写问题,只要不引起歧义

雅思考试与国内的英语考试,比如四六级或者考研英语相比有什么不同?

  • Short time frame ( 时间限制)
  • Different tasks ( 不同的写作任务)
  • Unfamiliar topics (中国考生不熟悉的话题)

英语学术写作到底有哪些特殊要求?

  • 不接受缩写形式
  • 不接受非正式的口语表达:lots of 改成 many/ a large number of
  • 句式不要过短,可以用一些,但不要全文都这么用
  • 祈使句不能用在学术写作中
  • 英语谚语,宗教信仰都不看充当论据

IELTS作文里是否可以使用I和we? 在雅思写作里面可以

2 让你的ideas更充实的秘诀

思考论点的时候可以从以下十二个方面考虑

  • 技能Skill (提高) 效率Efficiency
  • 科技Technology(保障)安全Safety
  • 权利Right(对应)责任Responsibility
  • 环境Environment( 影响)健康Health
  • 就业Employment(获得)财务Money
  • 文化Culture(带来)乐趣Fun

    raise:及物动词,提高(某事物)或者抚养(孩子);

    rise:不及物动词,指自身上升;

    arise:指某个现象或问题“出现”,意思接近于emerge

    不及物动词,benefit from 从……获益:L ow-income families can benefit from this free programme.

4. 经得起推敲的作文结构

题目分类:Report & Argument

Report :必须看清它到底是要你分析causes, solutions, measures,problems还是effects / influence。Report的概率比较小

Argument:

  • Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. (高)

  • Do you agree or disagree? / To what extent do you agree or disagree?(高)

  • Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? / To what extent do you think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?(中)

    outweigh 超过

  • What is your opinion? / What is your view?(低)

四段式 vs 五段式:区别在哪儿?

  • 四段式结构:写两段主体,论证一方
    • 一:1~3句
    • 二:1+6~8句
    • 三:1+4~6句
    • 四:1~2句
  • 五段式结构:写3个主体段,前两个论证一方,第3个论证另一方

    • 二:1+2~4句
    • 三:1+2~4句
    • 四:1+2~4句
    • 五:1~2句

选择四段式还是五段式?

  • 四段式:idea多但supporting少

  • 五段式:idea少但supporting多

如何写好开头?Keep the introduction short and clear.

第一步:相关背景,基本上就是原文改写,而且是小改(有背景就介绍)

第二步:转述题目中的观点

  • Some people think / believe / argue that…
  • Some people think that…,while others believe that…
  • People have different views about…

第三部:量出自己的观点

  • I tend to agree/disagree with this view 较强支持/反对
  • I partly agree with this view 部分同意
  • Although I agree that …,I believe that…
  • While I agree that…,I believe that…

如何写好结尾?简要、概括、不偏离

实际上就是把第一段的观点再换一个方式说一下。

5. 论证充实的关键:写好每个分论点的支持句

why?(为什么)So?(那么会有什么结果)

**IDEA:**Playing violent video games can cause changes in young people’s behaviour.

supporting:

  • These games use a wide variety of (多种多样的) technology to make it fun to fight and kill (why)
  • They also teach young people to use violence to solve problems. (why)
  • As a result ( 因此), many young players become aggressive ( 有攻击性的) towards their teachers, classmates and even their parents.(so)

What?(这样讲的具体意思是什么?)

**IDEA:**Extreme sports involve high risks.

supporting:(风险体现在下面三个方面)

  • They allow people to experience high speed or great height to bring them excitement.
  • For example, bungee jumpers need to jump from very high places.
  • They may be seriously injured if the equipment does not work well.

  3. 对比展开

    • while:句内对比,引导从句,表示然而

      Many adults relax by watching television or browsing the Internet, while children play video games instead of playing outdoor sports.

  8. 限定范围展开:Specifically, … 具体来说,…

  1. 使用代词
    • 人称代词:they
    • 物主代词:their
    • 指示代词:this,those
  2. 与分论点直接有关的名词:可以适当添加定义从句

Use linking words that you fully understand and can use accurately. Avoid using linking words that you only partially understand

8. 真实的高分范文——比你想象的简单

Keep the introduction and conclusion short and clear.

The ideas in the body paragraphs should be well supported.


剑桥官方提供的Agree or Disagree型7. 5分范文

[考 题]Some people think the high sales of products reflect the power of advertising instead of the consumers’ demand. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 一些人认为产品的高销售量所体现的是广告的宣传作用,而不是消费者们的需求。在多大程度上你同意或者不同意这种观点?

There are many advertisements on television or on the streets today. Although I agree that advertising encourages people to buy things unnecessarily, I do not think that consumers are controlled by advertising.

Many advertising companies produce advertisements featuring famous and popular actors or singers. People, especially youngsters, buy goods that their favourite singers advertise, although they do not really need the products. Also, on the television screen, a product may look more attractive and its information only focuses on the benefits. For example, cosmetics advertisements often use edited images and promise consumers that the product can make them look better and feel more confident. As a result, people often buy products without enough consideration after they watch the advertising. Furthermore, an advertising campaign can make many customers buy a particular product. Therefore, other people may be affected by the trend, even if the product is not of the real needs of society.

cosmetic / kɒzˈmetɪk / 化妆品

although / ɔːlˈðəʊ /

Also / ˈɔːlsəʊ /

edited images 编辑过的图片

promise / ˈprɒmɪs / 承诺

be of: 具有……性质,引申为满足

On the other hand, consumers are not controlled by advertising. It is people’s choice to make a decision to buy goods. Individuals have their own spending habits and preferences. If they have got enough income, then the right to make a decision is given to them. In addition, people try to allocate their budgets because there should be a limited amount of income that they are able to spend. This means that they cannot be easily influenced by these advertisements.

Individuals /ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəlz /

allocate / ˈæləkeɪt / 分配

influenced / ˈɪnfluənst /

In conclusion, advertising encourages people to buy products. However, it is difficult to say that everyone is easily influenced by advertising. In some areas of business such as the toy industry, it may be necessary to ban advertising to children as children do not have enough ability to Know what they need.


D & G (Discuss both views and give your own opinion.)型的考官范文

[考 题]People have different expectations for their jobs. Some people prefer to do the same job for the same company, while others prefer to change jobs frequently. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.人们对于工作有着不同的期望。一些人更喜欢在同一个公司里从事相同的工作,而另一些人则喜欢频繁地换工作。讨论这两种观点并且给出你自己的看法。

Today, many workers change jobs frequently. Some people think that changing jobs frequently leads to more opportunities, while others believe that staying in the same job is a better choice.

One of the main benefits of staying in one job is job security. For example, changing jobs often means that one may have to think about moving house, or temporarily losing a steady source of income. Staying in one job means that these problems can be avoided. Another advantage of not changing jobs is that one is able to gain more experience in his or her profession, which increases job security. Their company is also likely to reward their loyalty and service. By contrast, those who often change jobs may be seen as unreliable and employers may not want to hire or invest money in training them.

However, there are also advantages to changing jobs frequently. One advantage is that workers can increase their employability. Working in several different jobs often means that the individuals have more skills. These people are seen by employers as more confident, well-rounded and employable. Another benefit of changing jobs frequently is that one never falls into a routine. People may feel bored and unmotivated when they stay too long in the same job. As a result, the quality of their work would suffer. Also, increased salaries and promotion are often easier to achieve by changing jobs.

employability / ɪmˌplɔɪəˈbɪləti / 就业能力

well-rounded / ˌwel ˈraʊndɪd / 全面的

employable / ɪmˈplɔɪəbl / 可雇用的; 适宜雇用的

fall into a routine : 循规蹈矩

routine n. 惯例; 常规; adj. ①常规的;②平淡的

unmotivated / ˌʌnˈməʊtɪveɪtɪd / 对(工作等)不感兴趣的

[V-I]If something suffers, it becomes worse because it has not been given enough attention or is in a bad situation. 变差
I’m not surprised that your studies are suffering.你功课变差,我并不感到惊讶。

employers / ɪmˈplɔɪər /

In my opinion, while a new job can often lead to a higher salary and more career development opportunities, it is important that the decision to quit a job is made responsibly.


剑桥官方提供的Report型考官范文

[考 题]There are more problems with students’ behavior in many countries. What are the causes and what are your solutions? 在很多国家里,学生们的行为问题增多。这种现象的产生原因是什么?提出你的解决办法。

Poor student behaviour seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are responsible for this.

Poor student behaviour 学生不良行为

widespread / ˈwaɪdspred / 广泛的

The birth rate is declining in many countries so that families are smaller with fewer children. ==These children are often spoilt by their parents, not with love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. The children are allowed to have whatever they want, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.== Also, when they get to school age, they tend to lack self-control. They have less respect for their teachers and do not follow school rules in the way that their parents did.

标黄的有些语法不懂

Teachers often complain about this problem and measures should be taken to change the situation. I think that the solution to the problem lies with the families who need to better understand the harm of spoiling their children. If they could raise their children to be considerate of others and to be responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit. Parenting classes are needed to help parents to achieve this goal, and high quality nursery schools could be set up.

lie with 取决于

be considerate of… 对…体贴的,对…体谅的

be considerate of each other:相互体谅

nursery / ˈnɜːsəri / 托儿所

These measures would support families more in raising their children.Governments should fund this kind of support for parents because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but a problem for communities and for society as a whole.

….as a whole : 整个…

the country as a whole : 整个国家


学生习作之1 (Agree or Disagree型)

[考 题]Some people believe that artists should always be given the freedom to express their ideas. To what extent do you agree or disagree ?

Some people think that artists should always be free to express their ideas. Although I agree that artists’ freedom of expression is important, I do not think that they should always be able to express their ideas without restrictions.

Artistic freedom of expression is important to the development of art and culture. Only when artists do not feel restricted in creating their works, such as musicals, sculptures or photographs, is it possible for them to produce truly original works of art. Their freedom of expression is therefore crucial for art to develop instead of repeating itself. Also, art is one of the most creative and diverse parts of a nation’s culture. To protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions, governments should respect artists’ freedom to choose how to express their ideas and emotions.

sculpture / ˈskʌlptʃə(r) / 雕塑

only +状语(从句)”出现在句首,句子要用部分倒装,而“only +主语”的句子不倒装

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked. (只有当潮水退去,你才知道到底是谁在裸泳。)

Only in China can you find hotels like this.(只有在中国你才能找到这样的酒店。)

Only his mother really understands him.(只有他妈妈真正理解他。)

truly original works of art (名词短语)真正有原创性的艺术作品

crucial / ˈkruːʃ(ə)l / 至关重要的

creative and diverse (形容词短语)有创意的而且多样的

the diversity of (名词短语)多样性

On the other hand, some rules set by governments to limit the freedom of artists may be useful. Some methods or forms of artistic expression are not widely accepted by the general public. By limiting artists’ freedom to use these methods or forms, governments protect the people who are likely to find these artistic expressions unacceptable or offensive. For example, the film rating system that is used in some countries helps to prevent violent or sexual images from reaching the audience who may be negatively affected by them.

offensive / əˈfensɪv / 冒犯性的

In conclusion, while I agree that artists’ freedom to express their ideas should be respected and protected, I believe that there should be effective measures to ensure such freedom does not pose a threat to social order or to other citizens’ well-being.

pose a threat to social order (动宾短语)对社会秩序构成威胁

well-being (n.)良好的生活状态

sense of well-being 幸福感


学生习作之2 (D&G型)

[考 题]Some people think that giving aid to poor countries has positive effects, while others believe that international aid should be stopped. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People have different views about ==whether or not== international aid should be continued.

whether or not 是不是错了

Those who support international aid believe that it can ==benefit poor countries as well as rich ones==. International aid contributes to infrastructure improvements in poor countries. For example, the World Bank, whose key members are mostly rich countries, provides poor countries with low-interest loans each year. These countries can improve their infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals and public transport systems, with the loans. In the poorest countries, international financial aid and food aid can help to save lives because in these countries, many people suffer from starvation and lack basic health care. Rich countries that provide generous aid to poor countries are also regarded as responsible members of the international community and are respected by other countries.

infrastructure improvements (名词短语)对于基础设施的改善

suffer from starvation (动宾短语)忍受极度饥饿

starvation / stɑːˈveɪʃ(ə)n / 饥饿; 饿死

be regarded as : 被视为…

responsible members of the international community (动宾短语)国际社会里有责任感的成员国

People who think that international aid should be stopped tend to focus on the negative effects it may have. A common concern is its fairness. Even in the most developed countries, there are people living below the poverty line. Government spending on aid for poor people in other countries may be unfair to poor people in their own country. Some aid is even used to serve purposes for which is not intended. Some aid is even used to serve unexpected purposes. For instance, in some countries, foreign aid has been used by their government to purchase weapons or has led to more corruption. Sometimes countries that receive international aid also find the aid unfair because it is tied to political objectives.

government spending (名词短语)政府的开支

Some aid is even used to serve purposes for which is not intended.

想表达的意思:一些援助甚至被用于非预期目的。

我认为这个for要去掉,否则定语从句中就没有主语

其次:be intended for: 被用于 (某目的或某人)

This money is intended for the development of the tourist industry. 这笔钱是准备用于发展旅游业的。

Columns are usually intended in architecture to add grandeur and status. 柱子被用于建筑通常是为了增添宏伟和高贵。

为了不不出错,改成这样:Some aid is even used to serve unexpected purposes.

lead to more corruption (动宾短语)导致更多的腐败

/ kəˈrʌpʃ(ə)n /

is tied to political objectives 被和政治目的挂钩

Personally, I think it is important that the aid provided is used for the intended purpose. ==If the donor country cannot ensure this, then the aid should be reduced, if not stopped altogether.==

the intended purpose (名词短语)既定的目的,希望达到的目的

donor country (名词短语)援助国

recipient country 受援国

donor / ˈdəʊnə(r) /

[N-COUNT]A donor is someone who gives a part of their body or some of their blood to be used by doctors to help a person who is ill. 器官捐献者; 献血者

[N-COUNT]A donor is a person or organization who gives something, especially money, to a charity, organization, or country that needs it. 捐赠者

[ADJ]Donor organs or parts are organs or parts of the body which people allow doctors to use to help people who are ill. 捐献的


学生习作之3 (比较利弊型)

[考 题]In many countries, the proportion of elderly people is increasing. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

The proportion of elderly people in the population is rising in many countries. I think this trend creates more problems than benefits for society.

An ageing population places a heavy burden on the social welfare system. The more retired people there are in a society, the more claims are made for state pensions. Governments will have to increase funds for the public pension system, while reducing funds for other social programmes, such as support for low-income families, unemployment benefits and student loans. This will also lead to a heavy burden on taxpayers because the proportion of people who work and pay taxes will be smaller.

places a heavy burden on (动宾短语)给……带来沉重的负担

The more … the more …句型

(原句)If I eat a lot, I gain a lot of weight. = (原句)If I eat a lot, I gain a lot of weight.
如果我吃很多,我的体重也会增加很多。

(原句)If you study more, you learn more. = 改写:The more you study, the more you learn.
如果你多学习,你会学到更多。

If there are the more retired in a society, the more claims are made for state pensions.

翻译:一个社会中退休人员越多,申请国家养老金的人数就越多。

claim 作为名词:a written request asking an organization to pay you an amount of money that you believe they owe you 索款;索赔

After her house was burgled, she made a claim on her insurance. 她家被盗后,她要求按保单赔付。

Please submit your claim for travelling expenses to the accounts department. 请将差旅费的报销单交到会计部办理。

unemployment benefits 失业救济金

student loans 学生贷

while reducing funds for other social programmes:我认为是一个省略主语的独立主格

A higher proportion of elderly people in the population is also likely to cause labour shortages. This will reduce productivity, damage the economy and result in rising labour costs. To cover higher labour costs, businesses will have to raise the prices of their products and services, and then pass on this burden to consumers. As a result, the cost of living will rise while people‘s standard of living will decline.

pass on this burden to consumers 把这个负担转嫁给消费者

pass on

If you pass something on to someone, you give it to them so that they have it instead of you.将…传给;将…交给
The Queen is passing the money on to a selection of her favourite charities.女王要把那笔钱交给她喜欢的一些慈善机构。

If you pass on costs or savings to someone else, you make them pay for your costs or allow them to benefit from your savings.将…转移给;将…转嫁给
They pass on their cost of borrowing and add it to their profit margin.他们将借款成本转嫁,将其算到利润率里面。

You can say that someone passed on to mean that they died, if you want to avoid using the word ‘die’ because you think it might upset or offend people.去世;逝世
He passed on at the age of 72.他72岁去世。

the cost of living (名词短语)生活成本,生活开支

It is true that an ageing population may lead to an increase in the demand for healthcare workers, and therefore may create jobs in healthcare-related fields such as nursing and pharmacy. However, compared with the negative effects that population ageing would have on other industries, the growth in healthcare-related jobs would be insignificant.

healthcare workers (名词短语)医疗工作者

nursing and pharmacy (名词短语)护理和药学

pharmacy / ˈfɑːməsi / ①药店; 药房 ②制药业; 药剂学

A have effect on B : A对B有影响

population ageing 人口老龄化

ageing ①adj. (人) 变衰老的; (物) 老化的 ②un.变老; 变旧

In conclusion, although the rising proportion of elderly people is a result of progress in health care and improvement in the standard of living, I believe that the overall impact of population ageing on the social welfare system, the healthcare system and the economy is negative.

the standard of living (名词短语)生活水平

overall:

①adj 总的:…the overall rise in unemployment: …失业人数的总体上升。

②adv 总体上地 Overall I was disappointed. 总的来说,我感到失望。

9.3.3.1 表格题(table)实例

The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries.

We can see from the second table that Switzerland bought far more bananas than the other four countries. Swiss sales figures rose sharply from 15 to 47 million euros across these five years, while in the UK and Belgium sales only grew from 1 to 5.5 million euros and from 0.6 to 4 million euros respectively. Sweden and Denmark showed a different pattern,with falls in banana sales from 1.8 million euros to 1 million euros and 2 million euros to 0. 9 million euros.

The table below shows changes in the numbers of residents cycling to work in different areas of the UK between 2001 and 2011.

It is clear from the table that the figure for cycling commuters increased significantly in each area between 2001 and 2011. Inner London had the most cycling commuters in both years .In 2001 , 43, 494 residents of inner London cycled to work. This figure increased to 106, 219 in 2011 (a 144% increase), which was much higher than the percentage increase in the other areas. Over the same period, the number of cycling commuters in Bristol increased from 8, 108 to 15, 768 (an increase of 94%). By contrastalthough outer London had the second largest number of people who cycled to work in each year (33, 836 in 2001 and 49, 070 in 2011), its percentage increase was the lowest of the twelve areas (45%).

The other nine areas all had fewer than 10 thousand people cycling to work in 2001 and in 2011, but they also saw a significant increase in the number of cycling commuters over the 10-year period .The area of Brighton and Hove saw the biggest percentage change of these nine areas (109%). The numbers of cycling commuters in Gateshead (816 in 2001 and 1, 314 in 2011) were the lowest of all the areas shown in the table .

The graph below shows the number of people at a London underground station from 6:00 to 16:00 on a typical day in August 2010.

It is clear from the line graph that the number of people using this station fluctuated
significantly over the 10 hours. At 6 am the number of people in the station stood at 100. The figure rose dramatically over the next two hours, peaking at 400 at 8 am. After that, the figure dropped rapidly , reaching 180 at 10 am. The number of people using the station increased between 10 o’clock and 12 o’clock, reaching 280 at midday . The figure then remained stable at just under 300 people over the following two hours. After that, the number of people in the station declined again, reaching its lowest point of 90 at 4 pm.


The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.

It is clear from the line graph that the quantities of water used for agricultural, industrial and domestic purposes all increased between 1900 and 2000 . In 1900, around 500 km^3^ of water was used for agricultural purposes worldwide, while the figures for industrial consumption and domestic water consumption stood at only around 100 km^3^. By 2000,global water use for agriculture had risen to around 3000 km^3^. By contrast, global industrial water use had increased to around half that amount and domestic consumption had only reached around 500 km^3^.


The graph compares the rate of smoking among men and women between the years 1960 and 2000.

It is clear from the line graph that the rate of smoking among women was consistently lower than the rate for men, but the gap between them gradually narrowed over the 40-year period. In 1960, the rate of smoking among women was very low, at only 80 in every 1, 000 women. By 1972 this figure had increased steadily to 320 per 1, 000 women. The rate of female smokers then remained stable at (稳定于 )around 320 per 1, 000 until 1984 when the figure began to decline, reaching 200 per 1,000 women by 2000.

9.3.3.3 柱状图(bar chart)实例

The chart below shows the main reasons for study among students of different age groups.

The bar chart shows that there is a gradual decrease in study for career reasons with age. Around 80% of students aged under 26 study for their career. This percentage consistently declines as students get older. Only 40% of students aged between 40 and 49 and 18% of students aged over 49 study for career reasons .

with age :随着年龄的增长

[ADJ]You use aged followed by a number to say how old someone is. 岁数为…的
Alan has two children, aged eleven and nine.艾伦有两个孩子,岁数为11岁和9岁。

[ADJ]Aged means very old. 年迈的
She has an aged parent who’s capable of being very difficult.她有个年迈的、很难伺候的父亲。

[N-PLURAL]You can refer to all people who are very old as the aged. 老年人
The American Society on Aging provides resource services to those dealing with the aged.美国老年协会为那些处理老年人问题的人提供资源服务。

By contrast ,study for interest increases with age. Only 10% of students aged under 26 study out of interest. This percentage increases steadily as students get older. The proportion of students in the 40 -49 age group who study for interest is the same as the figure for those who study for career (around 40% ). However, 70% of students aged over 49 (study for interest, while only 18% study for career reasons in this age group.


The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status in March, 2002.

leisure / ˈleʒə(r) / ① 空闲时间 leisure time ② at leisure 悠闲地

We can see from the bar chart that in the employed full-time, unemployed and retired groups, men enjoyed more leisure time than women. The men in the unemployed group enjoyed the most leisure time (85 hours), while the women in this group only had 75 hours. In the group of retirees, males had 83 hours of leisure time, whereas females had 75 hours. The difference between the figures for males and females in this group (8 hours)was the smallest of these three groups .Women who were employed on a full-time basis had the least leisure time (38 hours).By contrast,men who worked full-time had 48 hours of leisure time.

on full-time basis : 全职工作

Only the figures for women are given for the groups of part-time employees and housewives, which show that female part-time workers and housewives had 39 and 52 hours of leisure time respectively.

[PREP]For is the preposition that is used after some nouns, adjectives, or verbs in order to introduce more information or to indicate what a quality, thing, or action relates to. 用于某些名词、形容词或动词之后,引出更多信息或指出相关的性质、事物、行为等
Reduced-calorie cheese is a great substitute for cream cheese. 低卡路里干酪是奶油干酪的极好替代品。Parking lot owners should be legally responsible for protecting vehicles.停车场场主应该依法负责保护车辆。


以下为我的理解:

不被动以前:give figures for the groups of….,这里的for是修饰figures 的


only 位于句首要不要倒装:一般来说,“only +状语(从句)”出现在句首,句子要用部分倒装,而“only +主语”的句子不倒装

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked. (只有当潮水退去,你才知道到底是谁在裸泳。)

Only if you pay attention can you learn.(处处留心皆学问。)
=You can learn only if you pay attention.
= You can only learn if you pay attention.

“only +状语从句”置于句首,主句中的主谓须倒装,而不是从句中的主谓要倒装

Only his mother* really understands him.(只有他妈妈真正理解他。)

判断是否要倒装的本质:only及其所修饰的对象若是脱离了它们常规的位置而放在了句首,此时句子就需要用倒装结构

Only when we recognize that Confucian cultures have a completely different understanding of education, and we begin to understand the nature of those differences, are we going to make meaningful progress teaching English.
只有当我们认识到儒家文化对教育的理解与西方存在重大差异并且开始懂得这些差异的本质时,我们才能在英语教学上取得重大进步。

如果没有倒装结构are we going to make,我们会很容易被这么多主谓结构干扰(比如we recognize…,Confucian cultures have…,we begin…)而迷失了断句方向,不知如何建立语义联结。从这个例句我们可以看出倒装标记的重要性。

句子结构有异动,用倒装做标记


a. Only his mother really understands him.(只有他妈妈真正理解他。)

b. Only his mother will he obey.(他只听妈妈的话。)

a句就是 修饰位于句首的主语,句子结构没有异动,不需要倒装。

b句修身的是宾语,句子有异动,需要倒装


Only six months ago did Theresa May seem all-powerful. (就在6个月前,特蕾莎·梅似乎还是权力无限的。)

这里的only不是修饰six months ago,而是做名词性短语 six months
only six months = just six months = as recently as six months 仅仅6个月


We only play Mahjong on Friday nights.
= We play only Mahjong on Friday nights.
(我们周五晚上就只玩麻将(不做别的事))

We only play Mahjong on Friday nights.
= We play Mahjong only on Friday nights.
我们只在周五晚上玩麻将(其他时间不玩)

也就是 We only play Mahjong on Friday nights. 这句话是有歧义的,通过倒装就可以消除这种歧义

Only Mahjong do we play on Friday nights.

Only Mahjong do we play on Friday nights.


The charts below give information about US marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 2000, and the marital status of adult Americans in two of the years.

marital / ˈmærɪt(ə)l / 婚姻的

marriage / ˈmærɪdʒ / ① 婚姻;②结婚; 婚礼

divorce / dɪˈvɔːs / ①n.离婚;② be divorced from… 离开…

widowed / ˈwɪdəʊd / 丧偶的

It is clear from the first bar chart that the marriage rate in the US was significantly higher than the divorce rate over the 30-year period. The number of marriages remained stable at 2. 5 million between 1970 and 1980, while the figure for divorces increased from 1 million to 1. 4 million over the same period. The number of marriages then gradually fell to 2 million over the following twenty years. Similarly, the figure for divorces also showed a downward trend, reaching 1.1 million in 1990 and 1 million in 2000.

The second bar chart shows that married people accounted for the largest proportion of the American adult population in both 1970 and 2000 (70% and 59% respectively).The percentage of adult Americans who were never married was 14% in 1970 and it increased to 20% in 2000. By contrast ,people who were widowed represented 8% of the US adult population in 1970 and the figure declined to 6% in 2000. It is particularly noticeable that although divorced people only constituted 2% of the adult population of the US in 1970, in 2000 the figure was 9% (a 4.5 times increase).

It is particularly noticeable that… 尤其值得注意的是…


The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three types, from 1995 — 2002.

Local fixed line 本地固定电话

The bar chart shows the time spent by UK residents on three different types of telephone calls between 1995 and 2002.

Local fixed line calls were the highest throughout the period, rising from 72 billion minutes in 1995 to just under 90 billion in 1998. After peaking at 90 billion the following year, these calls had fallen back to the 1995 figure by 2002.

National and international fixed line calls grew steadily from 38 billion to 61 billion at the end of the period, though the growth slowed over the last two years .

There was a dramatic increase in mobile calls from 2 billion to 46 billion minutes. This rise was particularly noticeable between 1999 and 2002, during which time the use of mobile phones tripled.

To sum up, although local fixed line calls were still the most popular in 2002, the gap between the three categories had narrowed significantly over the second half of the period.

the second half of … : …的后半部分


9.3.3.4 饼图(pie chart)实例

The graph below shows the demand for electricity in England during typical days in winter and summer. The pie chart shows how electricity is used in an average English home.

heat:vt 加热

oven:/ ˈʌv(ə)n / 烤箱

kettle:/ ˈket(ə)l / 热水壶

The line graph compares the need for electricity in England during typical days in two seasons, while the pie chart illustrates how electricity is used in an average English household.

It is clear that the electricity is used for four purposes. Heating rooms and water accounts for the highest proportion (52.5% )of the total amount of electricity used, while the running of ovens, kettles and washing machines constitutes 17.5% of the total consumption of electricity. Lighting, TV and the radio represent the same proportion (15%) of power consumption as vacuum cleaners, food mixers and electric tools do.

第1句:介绍4个选项


The charts below illustrate the annual spending by a UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001.

annual spending 每年的开支

The pie charts show how much a UK school spent on different running costs in three separate years:1981, 1991 and 2001.

separate / ˈseprət /
①adj 分开的; 不同的 separate years:不同的年份
②v(使)分离;(使) 脱离
They want to separate teaching from research.他们要把教学与研究分离开来。

It is clear that in all three years, ==teachers’ pay== accounted for the largest cost of running the school.This cost increased from 40% to 50% of total spending between 1981 and 1991, and then fell slightly to 48% in 2001. By contrastalthough ==other workers’ salaries== represented the second highest cost in 1981 and 1991 (28% and 22% respectively),the figure had decreased significantly to only 15% by 2001.

Spending on ==resources such as books== had increased from 15% to 20% by 1991, before it decreased to only 9% in 2001. The cost of ==furniture and equipment== saw an opposite trend .This cost had declined from 15% to only 5% of total spending by 1991, but rose dramatically in 2001 when it made up 20% of the total spending. Similarly, the cost of ==insurance== saw a rising trend, growing from only 2% to 8% by 2001.

Overall, teachers’ salaries constituted the largest cost to the school, and although spending increased dramatically for equipment and insurance, there were decreases in spending on things such as books and on other workers’ salaries.

9.4 如何写结尾段

小作文结尾段的写法:写1~2句

结尾段里的结论只要是合理的而且确实是根据图里所给出的信息,而不是自己任意 想象、“添油加醋”编造出来的就是可以接受的,即使是考官们自己也并不希望把结论 想得过于深奥

9.5 IELTS小作文的时态定律

Task 1小作文的时态完全遵循英文写作里的“时态与发生时间一一对应”的法则。

对于”此图展示了……”、”由此图可以看出……”这类陈述永恒事实的句型,主句的谓语动词必定使用一般现在时

主体段内部介绍具体数据或者变化趋势的动词,均根据其所对应的具体时间来确定也就是说:介绍过去时间的数据或趋势就用过去时,介绍将来时间的数据或趋势就用将来时

如果题目里面没有出现时间(是的,大约有五分之一的IELTS小作文考题不含具体时间),那么全文都使用一般现在时。

10 关于流程图的恶狼传说

10.1 流程图(process diagram)的4要素

  1. 流程图的信息比数学图表更零散,而且是“一环扣一环”的。因此,在看图时必须更加仔细

  2. **流程图里面存在生词是完全正常的。**这些生词多数都是名词或动词,而且在生词旁边还配有解释性的图画,我们虽然不一定能准确地猜出它的意思,至少大方向是可以猜出来的。对待流程图里面生词的最好方法就是直接抄到文章里,然后不再理它,根本不会影响我们写。

  3. 表示顺序的单词和短语一定要多用。

    • At the first stage of (或者 in) the process, … / First, / First of all,…

    • At the second (或者 third / fourth 等)stage, …

    • After this,(英式英语里更常用)/After that,(美式英语里更常用)
      =Next, …
      =At the next stage of (或者 in) the process, …
      =At the following stage of (或者 in)the process,…

    • then:可以放句首,也可以放在被动语态里的be动词和过去分词之间

      Then, the information is sent back to the server.
      = The information is then sent back to the server.

    • At this stage, / At this point,(在这个阶段)

    • Finally,

10.2 真题放送

The diagram below shows how The Australian Bureau of Meteorology collects up-to-the-minute information on the weather in order to produce reliable forecasts.

incoming information 信息接收

analysis & forecasting 分析和预报

preparing the broadcast 准备播放

broadcast 播放

meteorology / ˌmiːtiəˈrɒlədʒi / 气象学

bureau / ˈbjʊərəʊ / ①n 局 ;②分公司

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology 澳大利亚气象局

up-to-the-minute : 最新的,最即时的

satellite / ˈsætlˌlaɪt / 人造卫星 satellites / ˈsætlˌlaɪts /

radar / ˈredɑː/ 雷达

drifting / ˈdrɪftɪŋ / 漂流的,飘动的

buoy / bɔɪ / buoys /bɔɪz/

The process diagram illustrates how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecasts the weather.

There are four main stages in the weather forecast process. The process begins with the collection of weather data. At this stage, information about the weather is collected from outer space, on land and at sea, with satellites, radars, and drifting buoys respectively. The information about the weather is then analysed by weather forecast experts, who study the satellite photos, radar screens, and synoptic charts to forecast the weather. At the third stage in the process, the weather forecast is prepared for broadcast, which is done on computers. Finally, the weather forecast is broadcast to the public on TV, on the radio or as a recorded telephone announcement.

broadcast 在英式英语里这个词的被动形式可不加-ed

In summary, the process diagram shows how information on the weather is collected, analysed, prepared for presentation, and finally delivered to the public by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.


The diagram below shows the shaping and growth of the forests in Yellowstone National Park after a fire disaster.

shaping and growth : 形成(塑造)和生长

devastating / ˈdevəsteɪtɪŋ / 破坏性极强的

The process diagram illustrates the main stages in the recovery process of a forest in Yellowstone National Park after a devastating forest fire.

It is clear from the process diagram that the old forest is destroyed by lightning and fire. During the first 50 years after the forest fire, many young trees appear in the burned area. Although some of them continue to grow over the second 50 years, the total number of trees in this area decreases. At the next stage of the recovery process, the number of trees remains stable and they continue to grow in size for two centuries. After that, the total number of trees in this area falls again, eventually becoming similar to that of the old forest.

Overall, the process diagram shows that it can take 300 years or more for a forest in Yellowstone National Park to fully recover from a devastating wildfire.


The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes.

manufacture n. & vt. 制造

raw material n. 原料

i. e. 学术写作里常用的一个拉丁词=that is, …

blend vt. 混合

rotating adj.旋转的

compound n.混合物

feed vt.在描述制造工艺时feed是“输送”的意思,注意它的过去分词是fed

grind vt. 碾压,注意它的过去分词是ground

pack vt.打包

The process diagrams illustrate the main steps in cement production and how cement is used in the manufacture of concrete for construction purposes.

step: 步骤,常用于介绍制造工艺和操作过程的流程图

It is clear that the cement-making process begins with the raw materials — i.e. , limestone and clay, being crushed into powder in a crusher. The powder is blended in a mixer at the next stage of the process, and then transported to a rotating heater. After being heated in the heater, the compound is fed to a grinder and ground into cement, which is then packed into bags.

crush / krʌʃ / vt 压扁; 压碎 crushed/ krʌʃt /

crusher / ˈkrʌʃə(r) / 压碎机

After the cement is prepared, it is mixed in a revolving concrete mixer with water, sand and gravel in the proportion of 15% : 10% :25% :50% to produce concrete, as shown in the second process diagram.

In summary, the two process diagrams show the manufacturing process of cement and its role as a key material in the production of concrete.

role : n. 作用
