　　15天搞定雅思写作Task 1：Bar Chart Exercise

　　The bar chart illustrates information on the quantity of drugs school children in New Zealand take, divided by gender and measured in percentages. Overall, it is immediately apparent that hashish or marijuana is used more than any of the other drugs, whereasLSD is used the least. At first glance we can see that boys take more drugs than girls for 6 out of 7 of the drugs listed, however an equal number of boys and girls take cocaine.

　　To begin with, boys use more hashish or marijuana than girls at around 33% and 29% respectively. Following this, boys take heroin, opium or morphine at approximately 8%, but girls 10. at only 5%.

　　On the other hand, the numbers for amphetamines and solvents are similar for both boys and girls at 2% and 3% for girls and 4% for both drugs for boys. Next, the pattern for LSD and medical drugs is exactly the same for both genders at 1% for girls and 3% for boys. Finally, boys and girls take cocaine at the same level, 4%.

　　Being well-organised

　　雅思写作需要条理清晰且有逻辑。在阐述几个不同现象或想法时，可以用first,second,third或on the one hand,on the other hand等词连接不同的段落或句子。文中的句子就用了几个词连接，显得条理更为清晰，大家来体会一下：

　　To begin with, boys use more hashish or marijuana than girls at around 33% and 29% respectively. Following this, boys take heroin, opium or morphine at approximately 8%, but girls at only 5%.

　　On the other hand, the numbers for amphetamines and solvents are similar for both boys and girls at 2% and 3% for girls and 4% for both drugs for boys. Next, the pattern for LSD and medical drugs is exactly the same for both genders at 1% for girls and 3% for boys. Finally, boys and girls take cocaine 15. at the same level, 4%.
