真題為C4 Test3Task1: The chart gives information about post-school qualifications in terms of the different levels of further education reached by men and women in Australia in 1999.
知識點1:對于靜態(tài)圖在改寫第一段的時候采取“give the information about”或者是“compare the differences between/among”是比較方便的,因為所謂靜態(tài)圖就是不涉及趨勢的變化,所以用這兩種比較概述性的表達比較容易完成首段的改寫。之后只需要從題目中或者圖表的標題中選出相應的名詞或者名詞性詞組加在后面即可。
知識點2:在開頭段的改寫中,有的時候中心名詞的修飾限定部分僅僅通過形容詞是說不清楚的,此時同學們一定要把握機會秀出自己的語法,而且此時多數(shù)情況會使用“非謂語動詞”“或者定語從句”
We can see immediately that there were substantial differences in the proportion of men and women at different levels. The biggest gender difference is at the lowest post-school level, where 90% of those who held a skilled vocational diploma were men, compared with only 10% of women. By contrast, more women held undergraduate diplomas (70%) and marginally more women reached degree level (55%).
知識點3:中間段的首句一般情況下是用來寫概述性總括句的,也就是我們所謂的overview,overview意味著是該段落所涉及的描述對象的明顯的且概括性的特征,考官通過“we can see immediately that”和“substantial”簡單利落的做到了overview應行使的表達作用。
知識點4:通過“biggest gender difference”我們可以充分體會到西方人的表達習慣--先從最高值說起
知識點5:where引出了一個新穎有容易理解的定語從句,替代at this level,句中又嵌套一個who 引導的定語從句,盡管是雙重定語從句但是表達上層次清晰,意思明了。這是一句極易模仿的高分表達,大家學起來呦。
知識點5:By contrast,引出與之前相反的情況描述,關聯(lián)詞同樣清晰利落,之后句子的描述簡潔易懂。做到了9分,評分準則中所說的“uses a wide range of structures with full flexibility and accuracy”,復合句簡單句交錯使用
知識點6:marginally more than其實就等于咱們所說的a little more than,一個marginally瞬間變高端。
知識點7:同樣都是拿學歷,同樣都是簡單句,分別通過“held..... diplomas....”“reach....level”,以及下一段的”men with....diplomas”解決了表達重復的問題。
At the higher levels of education, men with postgraduate diplomas clearly outnumbered their female counterparts (70% and 30%, respectively), and also constituted 60% of Master’s graduates.
知識點8:outnumber比起surpass和exceed更適合靜態(tài)圖用來描述“超過”。
知識點9:counterpart一個非常實用而且高端的代詞counterpart在這里就等于“people with postgraduate diplomas”。
知識點10:“respectively,分別地“,constitute表示占據,都是靜態(tài)圖的高頻實用詞匯,大家不要忘記使用呦。
Thus we can see that more men than women hold qualifications at the lower and higher levels of education, while more women reach undergraduate diploma level than men. The gender difference is smallest at the level of Bachelor’s degree, however.
知識點11:看到了考官的結尾段,大家對于結尾段不用再有什么不甘心了吧,不用太奢華的內容升華,信息交代全面即可?;蛘咴偌右痪渥蠲黠@的特征就一切剛剛好了。
搞定了這些,靜態(tài)圖一定不再是大家沖擊雅思寫作高分的絆腳石,加油!預祝大家屠鴨成功。
