For the majority of IELTS candidates, writing test is the most difficult of the four subjects; Whenever some students who have experience in studying exams are asked "which of the two topics is more difficult to write", everyone's answer is often surprisingly similar: the small composition (chart analysis) is simply bald! Here, Mr. Xiaoqi will show you a simple taste first. The success or failure of small composition writing lies in recognizing the types of graphics.

At this time, some "roast ducks" may say: What's the difficulty? Isn't it just line charts, bar charts, pie charts, tables, plus the general map questions and flow charts of Hell's Gate? Hehe, Tai Yang, Tai Na? Ve, sometimes it's simple!

In addition to the above map questions and flow charts, the other four are data charts, and candidates need to analyze and compare all kinds of data in the charts. But students who have experience in computer office software drawing know that when drawing, we can input the same data and choose the type of output graphics according to our own preferences: the same set of data, I can make it into a histogram, a tabular chart or a pie chart. Therefore, the external form of the chart is not important. If the "roast duck" want to write the data chart clearly and appropriately, they must master the ability to see the essence through the phenomenon: whether the chart is dynamic or static. For example, the following two table questions:

Table 1: C6T2

Table 2: C5T4

Both questions are tabular graphs. If many inexperienced candidates write one of them, they may think that the writing method should be the same when writing the other one, and they will rush to start writing, which will eventually lead to the "rollover" of the small composition. I don't know why, although these two tables look like "brothers", in fact, the analysis ideas are very different, because figure 1 is a dynamic diagram and figure 2 is a static diagram. The difference between dynamic diagram and static diagram directly leads to different principles for selecting the main features that must be written, different methods for comparison in relevant places, and completely different applications of target sentence patterns. Therefore, a clear understanding of dynamic/static diagrams is the primary condition for the success or failure of writing small compositions with data diagrams.

Then, how to distinguish the dynamic/static diagram and how to write the follow-up essay well can we achieve detailed content, clear thinking, rigorous structure and proper expression. Search Chengdu Situo Education on the Internet and ask a professional writing teacher for guidance ~

IELTS writing: IELTS writing requires high language ability and generally follows three principles: formality, appropriateness and accuracy.

1. Formality of language: Try to use the third person in person, and the first person is acceptable. The second person is actually very inappropriate, because we only use "you" in the conversation. In addition, try to avoid too many colloquial expressions, such as "buddy", "want" and "want".

2. The appropriateness of language is first reflected in naturalness, that is, it needs to have a certain sense of language and be able to distinguish English expressions. However, many students' English expressions are easily interfered by Chinese and forced to turn over their books. For example, many students will write "learning knowledge" in their compositions, but the common collocation in English is "acquiring/acquiring/acquiring knowledge".

Secondly, the appropriateness of language is also reflected in tone. In fact, using euphemism in English expression will be more objective, and more expressions such as "inclined", "included" and "possible" can be used.

3. To be accurate in language expression, we should replace the simple and abstract words we are often used to and use more specific words. For example, many students will write that this is "a very good means to do something". In fact, "good" is a very abstract word with a vague meaning, which simply does not reflect students' English level. We can use "effective means to do something" instead, which shows where this method is "good". If the whole article focuses on this replacement, it will be more "meaningful".
