IELTS Writing Task 1:
band 9 sample
'maps' answer
The mapsillustratesome changes that were made to a city hospital's transport infrastructure between the years 2007 and 2010.
It isnoticeablethat three main modifications were made to the hospital’s vehicle access. These involved the building of a new bus station, new roundabouts and new parking facilities.
Looking at the changes in more detail, we can see that in 2007 there were three bus stops on either side of Hospital Road. These were no longer present in 2010, and instead we see the addition of a bus station on the west side of Hospital Road. This bus station is accessed via two new roundabouts; the first roundabout is at the intersection of City Road and Hospital Road, while the second is at the other end of Hospital Road, at the junction with the hospital ring road.
The two maps also show that changes were made to public and staff parking areas. In 2007, staff and visitors used the same car park, which was situated to the east of Hospital Road and accessed via the ring road. However, by 2010 this original car park had become a designated area for staff parking only. A new car park, located on the east side of the ring road, provided parking for members of the public.
从以上范文可以看出,小作文一般的结构是四段。
头一段:Paraphrasing,这也是雅思听说读写每项都要考到的能力。
在这里,即对题目用自己的话进行改写。
第二段:总述图标的结构,特别是比较突出的数据进行描写。
第三、四段:分两段对图表数据进行叙述。
注意:这里和很多同学在很多地方学到的不一样,这里并没有 “In conclusion ” 这一段!
为什么呢?
因为雅思小作文是对所给数据的客观描述,而很多学生会在之后一段总结中,不知不觉加入自己主观臆断的观点,导致文章不够客观和准确。
这也是很多童鞋怎么写都拿不到高分的一个原因。
毕竟写作要用英文的思维,要符合西方人的逻辑鸭。
