  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饼图4 六个大饼，希望能对即将要参加考试的烤鸭们有所帮助!

  * 饼图，选自《剑桥雅思真题集11》

  【内容思路】

  通过找异同(similarities and differences)确定分组(groups)：

  * North America and Europe一组。

  * South America、Africa、Central Asia、Southeast Asia另一组。

  * 同时，第二组内再进一步分组：1)Africa、Central Asia、Southeast Asia一组，和2)South America、单独一组。

  Introduction

  Shown in the charts is how water is used in six regions of the world, and there are three uses — the industrial use, the agricultural use, and the domestic use. Overall, there are apparent similarities and differences between the six areas // the six areas can be divided into three groups.

  * 第一句的句子开头的倒装，可以当成套话用。

  * 第一句的句子末尾同位语。

  Body(按照【内容思路】来写)

  North America and Europe are highly similar. In these two areas, roughly half of the usage of water goes to industrial production, and the agricultural sector uses 30% to 40% of the total usage, and water used in households account for 13% to 15%. Likewise, there is a high level of similarity between Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. Agriculture uses over 80% or even almost 90% of the total usage of water, and accordingly, the other two sectors use rather small portions of water, and the individual percentage ranges from 5% to 12%.

  * 这个段落遵循“总—分”原则展开写作。第一句“浓缩”为总写，后面把“浓缩”的内容解释清楚。第三句用样为浓缩总写，后面的内容把细节解释清楚。

  * 下划线的部分构建了信息之间或句子之间的联系。建立语句间或信息间的联系很重要。

  South America is a special area. Although it is another area where agriculture is the predominant water user, which takes 71% of the total usage, it has the greatest proportion of domestic use of water (20%) among all the six regions.

  * 这个段落依然遵循“总—分”原则展开写作。第一句“浓缩”为总写。后面一句把“浓缩”的内容解释清楚。

  * 首先注意：不要在数据上面面俱到，要有数据上的取舍。取舍的原则很简单：main features一定写，其它可以按需取舍。

  * 主体部分的两个段落中，句子主语或开头的多样性是得分点。文中分别用了地区名、用水部门、用水量、百分比等概念为主语。

  * 两个段落中，总写的句子都是采用了“短句”的模式，从而在文中形成长句与短句的搭配。

  Conclusion

  In general, there are apparent similarities and differences between the six areas.
