Writing Task I:自16年1月起至現(xiàn)在，我們的小作文主要考了線圖、柱圖、表格和餅圖，除了在16年1月30日當(dāng)天考察了地圖題的歷史變遷題，在接下來著兩個(gè)月中，沒有再出現(xiàn)過地圖題，而流程圖更是從15年12月5日考察了烤鴨們對(duì)橄欖油的生產(chǎn)過程描述之后，在接下來的三個(gè)月中沒出現(xiàn)，所以在4月21日雅思考試中，需要特別注意的首先是這兩個(gè)題型。當(dāng)然，對(duì)其他的常規(guī)圖表題也不能掉以輕心。
Process diagram，即流程圖的出現(xiàn)幾率是最高的，因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都沒有考到了。很多童鞋們把流程圖看作是一種“餓狼傳說”，在考場(chǎng)中碰到流程圖和地圖題簡(jiǎn)直想立刻離場(chǎng)下次重來，但是，從實(shí)際給分情況上來講，反而是碰到流程圖與地圖題，童鞋們更容易拿高分。
常規(guī)的流程圖對(duì)大家來說其實(shí)并不陌生，比如劍橋中常見的水泥的生產(chǎn)過程，蠶寶寶的生命周期和絲綢的生產(chǎn)過程。但對(duì)于多圖的流程圖，同學(xué)們就有些無從下手。我們來以一題磚塊的生產(chǎn)過程為例：
The illustrations below show how bricks are manufactured.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
如圖，這道流程圖并不似常見的流暢圖只有兩幅圖，主體段大家可以一幅圖一段，如以往的水泥的生產(chǎn)過程一段，混凝土的生產(chǎn)過程一段。這幅圖我們可以如何來將主體段分段呢？我們來看一下例文。
例文：
The process by which bricks are manufactured for the building industry can be outlined in seven consecutive steps.
First the raw material, clay, which was just below the surface of soil in certain clay-rich areas has to be dug up by a digger. Then the lumps of clay are placed on a metal grid in order to break up the big chunks of clay into much smaller areas, which fall through the metal grid onto a roller, whose motion further segregates the bits of clay. Sand and water are added to make a homogenous mixture, which is then either formed in mouldsor cut into brick-shaped pieces by means of a wire cutter.
Those fresh bricks arethen kept in a drying oven for at least 24 and a maximum of 48 hours, several dozens if not hundreds of bricks at a time. The dried bricksare thentransferred to a so-called kiln, another type of high temperature oven. Firstthey are kept at a moderate temperature of 200 ℃-1300℃. This process is followed by cooling down the finished bricks for 48 to 72 hours in a cooling chamber.
Once the bricks have cooled down and have become hard, they get packaged and delivered to their final destination-a building site or storage.
處理流程圖的過程中，大家記住三個(gè)步驟：
一、確定材料：clay
二、確定工具：digger
三、根據(jù)工具工具確定動(dòng)詞：dig（為了避免寫成說明書，請(qǐng)使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)）
例句：
First the raw material, clay, which was just below the surface of soil in certain clay-rich areas has to be dug up by a digger.
這是流程圖三步驟在經(jīng)過美化后的例句，大家可以進(jìn)行仿寫。
》》》地圖題作為第二可能出現(xiàn)的題型，解題思路也很清晰。一般最常出現(xiàn)的是歷史變遷題，另一種選址比較題大家可以參照劍5里面的第3套題。這邊給大家?guī)淼氖且坏辣容^難的一張圖的歷史變遷題，按照時(shí)間的規(guī)律來解題。
Chorleywood is a village near London whose population has increased steadily since the middle of the nineteenth century.The map below shows the development of the village.
例文：
The map illustrates the development of a village called Chorleywood over four main periods between 1868 and 1994.
From 1868 to 1883, the village of Chorleywood only covered a small area near a main road. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located close to this area. Over the next period (1883 to 1922), the village expanded southwards along the main road and more than doubled in land area. In 1909, a railway line was built crossing the village of Chorleywood. The village then grew along the railway line to the east and west until 1970. In 1970, a motorway was built to the east of the village. The last period (1970 to 1994) saw further development of Chorleywood taking place around motorway intersections with the railway line and a main road.
It is clear that the village of Chorleywood grew significantly as the transport infrastructure developed between 1868 and 1994.
