新航道

  雅思写作是中国考生们的一大头疼科目，也是难以提高的科目。新航道章跃老师分享小作文的线图3：过去到将来的时态变化和比较，希望能对即将要参加考试的烤鸭们有所帮助!

  数据图：线图

  主要描述变化

  可能描述比较

  时间：从过去到将来

  注意：图中的时间轴是从过去到将来，强烈提醒对于“现在完成时”的使用。

  Introduction

  第一句话说明图的大意：In the graph are four lines that respectively depict four country’s urban population counted in percentage terms since 1970 and the projected percentages till 2030.

  划线的部分是倒装现象，然后对four lines进行定语从句修饰，可以干脆背下来当套话用(这里的倒装的实用目的是让four lines在主句的最后面从而方便承接后面的长度可观的定语从句)。可不可以在开头段落里没有对于图的总述?可以。但是，那就必须要有结尾段落去对图的宏观特点进行陈述。

  Body

  In 1970, the respective numbers, in descending order, were America’s 60%, India’s 40% and 20% in both the UK and South Korea. Since then, there has been apparent growth in all the four countries.

  第一句“罗列法”是个快速省劲的办法，尤其适合老章的思路：先把四个起点介绍了，毕竟起点数值是重要信息。这也可以为接下来正好用“现在完成时”创造语境。

  India, with the percentage ascending by 30 points, and South Korea, whose percentage has increased twofold, have seen the most marked growth. By contrast, America’s 20% increase and the UK’s 15% increase are comparatively moderate. Other three things during the years are also notable: first, South Korea has taken the UK’s initial third place since 1990; second, India has been approaching the US; third, however fast India’s growth has been, the leading country has always been the US.

  第一句话写印度和韩国，因为这两个国家的增长更显著。并且一句话了事。尤其注意：India那里的状语修饰，和South Korea那里的定语修饰 第二句话写美国和英国。句子之间用by contrast建立联系，那么就兼顾了【变化】和【比较】。老章的这个写法是很妙的，彻底摆脱了线形的束缚和思维定式。第三句话的写法其实不难，就是学会冒号的用法(前一句以冒号结尾，那么冒号后的内容就是去讲前一句的具体情况)和分号的用法(关系密切的三个分句放在同一个句子里)。这是老章惯用的句法。每个分句都很简单，但是句子就是不停，把读者的注意力控住。同时要注意第三个分句时，句子主语变了(不就是主语和表语颠倒一下嘛)，以及however在句中的意思是“不管怎样”。总之，这一段的学习点包括：写作内容取舍;信息的组织方式;黄色高亮部分的形容词、动词、副词;语法现象和句型。

  In the future, except in South Korea, greater portions of urban dwellers are expected in those countries by 2030, whereas the current rankings may not change.

  这一段注意：1、对于预测得出的信息，动词不要带有肯定语气。2、by+时间，意思是“到什么时候”。3、黄色高亮的词汇肯定要学会。4、用except时，要注意逻辑一致。

  Conclusion

  Overall, although the growth has been universal in those countries, it has shown pattens that vary.

  因为开头段落没有对于图的总述，那么，必须要有结尾段落，去对图的宏观特点进行陈述。
