雅思「小」作文比他人更早一步進階！你需要....

02-25

如果你的「小作文」總是5.5，請反覆閱讀本文…

在收到的小作文評語中，外教是否反覆跟你強調：

「You must not recount the information.」

——如果是，請放寬心，因為還有無數同伴和你犯同樣錯誤，陪你走在寫作5.5的二刷大道上。

本期內容：如何描述chart。

【如何描述line graph】請戳往期推送：

你用的那些套路，讓你英語永不翻身

雖然本期主要介紹「如何描述chart」，但若能理解其中「比較與對比」的精髓...

那你的小作文，還是可以先人一步進階。

你需要：

1. 學會描述數量

舉個栗子：

a. 85%
b. 75%
c. 46%

d. 31%
e. 24%
f . 15%

你會如何描述這些百分比呢？

我們可以說：

nearly half = 46%
the vast majority = 85%
a small minority = 15%
three quarters = 75%
just under a third = 31%
roughly one in four = 24%

你以為僅僅學了上述表達就可以嗎？

不，可，能...！

只介紹知識點，不讓你真操實練的老師都是耍流氓。

所以…

習題一

以下圖為例：

The bar chart below shows the results of a survey of how people felt about examinations.

試著用上文給出的片語填空吧！

a. __________ of those surveyed said they found the challenge exciting.
b. __________ of respondents said they felt anxious.

c. __________ said they felt more competitive.
d. __________ of those surveyed replied that they felt more focused.
e. __________ indicated that examinations made them lose interest in their studies.
f. __________ of those who responded said they felt motivated to work harder.

答案：

a. a small minority
b. the vast majority
c. just under a third
d. nearly half
e. roughly one in four
f . three quarters

2. 學會比較、對比信息

劃重點：比較、對比信息真的非常非常重要！

在批改的N篇小作文中，我們發現：

大多數考生不懂「compare and contrast the information」與「describe quantity」的區別！

儘管考生用於describe quantity的句子無任何語法錯誤，邏輯銜接也毫無問題，但通篇缺乏【比較+對比】！

如果你在寫小作文時，外教總建議你：不要recount the information，一定要summarize。

那請你把下方栗子來回看三遍…

栗子一：

用比較級 / 最高級來「比較對比信息」

（以上圖為例）

a. more / fewer / less + 名詞 + than

b. 單音節形容詞-er + than
A higher percentage of students gained top marks in Mathematics than in Chemistry.

c. more / less +雙音節/多音節形容詞 + than
Science-related subjects were more popular than arts-related subjects.

d. 用最高級
1) The most popular subject was Mathematics.
2) The highest percentage of students gaining top marks was in Mathematics.

e. as + 形容詞 + as
Art and Design was nearly as popular as Chemistry.

f. 用副詞修飾比較的程度（例如many, much, far, significantly）
1) Many more students sat examinations in science subjects.
2) Science-related subjects were much more popular than arts-related subjects.

g. 對於small differences，你可以用slightly / nearly as … as
1) The percentage of students gaining top marks in Chemistry was slightly higher than the percentage of students gaining top marks in Art and Design.
2) Nearly as many students sat the Art and Design exam as did the Chemistry exam.
