(Eight hours are) pared with seventy hours, 注意比較的成分應(yīng)當(dāng)是對等的，時間對應(yīng)時間， pare這個詞在 雅思寫作中以被動態(tài)比較常見，很少出現(xiàn) paring with的形式，切記 第四段 Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fiftyfour hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! ? 說明了 housewives 的 leisure time，很明顯， househusbands 為缺失值 Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time. ? Overall 代表是文章的總結(jié)句，但是作者從另外一個邏輯角度，即按照總體性別來看， men比 women的 leisure time要多，這就說明了應(yīng)當(dāng)按照清晰的邏輯順序，把文章中各個信息都需要描述 詞匯句型積累 對比說明 兩個事物的對比說明，這是必考內(nèi)容之一，所采用的方法有 ? 采用 連詞 while, whereas ? 還可以用 pared with過去分詞短語 來補充說明對比關(guān)系 ? 還有一種就是用 比較句型 more…than, n times as…as 等句型來作直接比較 合并同類項 對一個變量含有較多的值，比如這里的工作種類就有 5種，將其合并成為 3項；還有多個種類的隨時間變化趨勢，我們也可以將其按照上升或下降的趨勢分類，當(dāng)然這個需要圖形本身的特征來考慮。 go from 12 to 20 主體三段 Finally, the figures for spending on research and development show that industrialized countries more than doubled the spending, from $200bn to $400bn, whereas developing countries actually decreased theirs, from $75bn down to $25bn. ? The figures show 接從句表明圖三的特征， whereas 表示比較，連接了industrialized countries 和 developing countries 的變化情形 ? 注意表示變化的主語是 countries, 并非是主體二段中的 numbers, 因此賓語也變成了 spending, from…to… 接具體數(shù)據(jù)補充說明 結(jié)尾段 Overall we can see that not only are there very large difference between the two economies but that these gaps are widening. ? Overall總結(jié)說明， 注意 ：雅思圖表的特征都是一些常識性的東西，不會出現(xiàn)一些雷人的發(fā)現(xiàn) 詞匯句型積累 表示 數(shù)據(jù)的變化趨勢 本文展示了兩種， ? The number of people increased from 55 to 85. 這句的主語為 the number, 表示變化的不及物動詞為 increase, ? Industrialized countries doubled their spending， from $200bn to $420bn. 這句的主語為 countries, 表示變化的及物動詞為 double，當(dāng)然也可以為及物動詞increase, decrease (這些詞可以是及物動詞，也可以是不及物動詞 )，賓語類似于上句的 number 表示 比較 的句型 ? pared to 過去分詞短語 ： The length of time people spend at
