雅思写作考试分为Task 1和Task 2,其中小作文(Task 1)主要考察考生对数据的描述、分析和比较能力,无论是学术类(Academic)还是培训类(General Training),小作文的题型和评分标准都有明确要求,本文将结合最新题库趋势,提供高分写作技巧,并附上权威数据示例,帮助考生高效备考。
雅思小作文常见题型
雅思小作文的题型相对固定,主要包括以下几种:
- 线形图(Line Graph):展示数据随时间变化的趋势。
- 柱状图(Bar Chart):比较不同类别之间的数据差异。
- 饼图(Pie Chart):显示各部分占整体的比例。
- 表格(Table):呈现具体数值,需进行对比分析。
- 流程图(Process Diagram):描述某个过程的步骤或阶段。
- 地图(Map):比较不同时间或方案下的地理变化。
根据2023年雅思官方报告(来源:IELTS.org),线形图和柱状图出现频率最高,占比约35%,其次是表格(20%)和饼图(15%),流程图和地图占比相对较低,但考生仍需掌握基本写作方法。
最新数据示例与高分表达
线形图:全球碳排放趋势(2020-2023)
根据国际能源署(IEA)2023年报告,全球主要国家的碳排放量变化如下(单位:百万吨CO₂):
国家/地区 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023(预估) |
---|---|---|---|---|
中国 | 10,500 | 11,200 | 11,800 | 12,000 |

印度 | 2,600 | 2,900 | 3,200 | 3,400 |
高分表达示例:
- "China’s carbon emissions showed a steady increase, rising from 10,500 million tons in 2020 to an estimated 12,000 million tons in 2023."
- "In contrast, the EU experienced a decline, with emissions dropping to 2,900 million tons in 2023."

- "The US allocated the highest proportion of GDP to higher education (2.5%), while China’s investment was significantly lower (1.0%)."
雅思小作文写作技巧
结构清晰,逻辑连贯
小作文通常采用四段式结构:
- 引言(Introduction):改写题目,说明图表主要内容。 Overview)**:概括主要趋势或关键特征。
- 细节段1(Detail Paragraph 1):描述具体数据,支持概述。
- 细节段2(Detail Paragraph 2):进一步分析对比数据。
示例(线形图):
"The line graph illustrates changes in carbon emissions across four regions from 2020 to 2023. Overall, China and India saw upward trends, whereas the EU’s emissions decreased. The US remained relatively stable."
数据选择与对比
避免罗列所有数据,重点描述:
- 最高值/最低值
- 显著变化(如急剧上升或下降)
- 相似或相反趋势
示例(柱状图):
"While Samsung and Apple held the largest shares, Xiaomi’s 12% placed it as the third most popular brand."
多样化句式与词汇
避免重复使用相同表达,灵活运用:
- 趋势描述:increase, decline, fluctuate, stabilize
- 程度修饰:significantly, slightly, steadily, sharply
- 比较表达:compared to, in contrast, similarly
示例:
"Emissions in India rose sharply by 23% between 2020 and 2023, while the EU’s figures dropped by 9% over the same period."
流程图与地图的写作要点
- 流程图:使用被动语态(如"The materials are processed..."),按步骤顺序描述。
- 地图:注意方位词(north, southeast)和变化动词(expand, replace, demolish)。
示例(地图题):
"The northern area was transformed from farmland into a residential zone, and a new road was constructed to connect the east and west sections."
高分范文示例(线形图)
** The graph below shows the percentage of urban population in four countries from 1980 to 2020.
范文:
The line graph compares urbanisation rates in Brazil, India, Japan, and South Africa over four decades. Overall, all countries experienced growth, but Brazil’s increase was the most dramatic.
In 1980, Japan had the highest urban population (75%), followed by Brazil (60%). India and South Africa lagged behind at around 25% and 40%, respectively. By 2020, Brazil’s urban dwellers surged to 90%, surpassing Japan’s 85%. India’s growth was steady but slower, reaching 35%, while South Africa climbed to 65%.
The most notable trend was Brazil’s rapid urbanisation, which exceeded Japan’s by 2020. In contrast, India remained the least urbanised despite its upward trajectory.
