雅思数据类小作文主要包括:
Pie chart 饼状图
Line graph 曲线图
Bar chart 柱状图
Table 表格图
Combination 混合图表
本文主要分析Bar chart数据类小作文的写作技巧
Bar chart柱状图
考生在完成小作文时容易出现以下两个问题:
一.是分不清楚动态图与静态图的区别,即而找不到图表中的有效数据,导致数据描写过多写成流水账或是描写数据过少无法完整表达整个表格内容;
二.是对于时间把握不准确,不知道重合入手,常常一不小心就超出20分钟,导致小作文写不完
小作文数据类别共分成两种:静态图和动态图。这不是由四种图形(Table,Pie, Line, Bar)来决定的,而是由数据特征来定。
如何判断动态or静态图
在雅思考试中,线图没有静态图,一定是动态图!
柱图有动态也有静态(常考动态变化);
饼图有动态有静态(饼图动、静都会考);
表格图有动态也有静态(常考静态图)
*主要是随着时间的变化而变化的必是动态图表,也是雅思考试趋势中最常考的数据类小作文。

写作题目:
The bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006.
Writing analysis:
首先来构思一下段落结构
For the task 1 report, I aim for 9 sentences
Writing structure:
· Introduction: 1 sentence
· Overview (summary): 2 sentences
· First 'details' paragraph: 3 sentences
· Second 'details' paragraph: 3 sentences
写之前需要思考三件事:
- how you would paraphrase the question for your introduction如何在Introduction段复述问题
- what two things to include in your overview paragraph如何在Overview段总结两点信息
- how to separate your description of details into two paragraphs如何将图中的细节写入两个段落
Sample answer:
The bar chart compares the turnover in dollars from sales of video games for four different platforms, namely mobile phones, online, consoles and handheld devices, from 2000 to 2006.
It is clear that sales of games for three out of the four platforms rose each year, leading to a significant rise in total global turnover over the 7-year period. Sales figures for handheld games were at least twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year.
In 2000, worldwide sales of handheld games stood at around $11 billion, while console games earned just under $6 billion. No figures are given for mobile or online games in that year. Over the next 3 years, sales of handheld video games rose by about $4 billion, but the figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. Mobile phone and online games started to become popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion in 2003.
In 2006, sales of handheld, online and mobile games reached peaks of 17, 9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, turnover from console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2.5 billion.
