大家好,我是小K!

烤鸭们在面对饼状图描述的时候,是不是感觉无从下手?

该从哪一步开始呢?如何写才是完整的数据分析呢?

今天我们就来讲一讲如何描述饼状图

01

Prepare 准备

Let’s start withselecting and reporting the main features of the pie chart. What does the pie chart show? Can you quickly think of any synonyms?

Write these words under the IELTS pie chart diagram.

Look forthe biggest and smallest sections of your pie charts– What do they represent? What is the percentage? Make a quick analysis – note down the period of time, dates and measurements.

See the big picture, avoid getting lost in the details. After all, this is asummarizing task.

  • 首先从选择和报告饼图的主要功能开始。

    饼图显示的是什么?你能快速想到任何相关的同义词吗?在饼图下面写下这些词。

  • 找出饼图中占比最大和最小的部分。

    它们分别代表什么?百分比是多少?

  • 进行快速分析。

    关注饼图的时间段、日期和相关测量数据。

应纵观全局,避免迷失在细节中。毕竟,这是一项总结任务。

02

Organize your findings into two groups将发现分为两组

When organizing the information into two separate groups focus on these topics for your pie charts:

-Major trends

-Major groups

-Exceptions

-Group information

-Other similar ideas

Note – you do not have to find examples for all these. The point is that by organizing information into groups, you are doing two things at once; reporting the main features (two main trends) and you can also make comparisons where relevant (one group is bigger than the other).

分组时,要重点关注饼状图的几点信息:

-主要趋势

-主要群体

-例外

-群组信息

-其他类似的信息

不必找到所有这些信息点。

关键是要通过将信息分组,同时进行两个分析:报告的主要特征(也就是两个主要趋势),你还可以在相关的地方进行比较(一个组比另一个组数据更大)。

A trend could be that over time, students at the University of Cambridge always spent the most money while students at the British Council spent the least. Another trend could be that one category started out the least popular and became the 2nd most popular by the end of the period studied.

举个例子

一个趋势可能是,随着时间的推移,剑桥大学的学生花的钱是最多的;而英国文化协会学生花的钱最少。另外一个趋势可能是,A类开始时最不受欢迎,到研究结束时成为第二大最受欢迎的类别。

How to organize your paragraphs

组织段落

Structure everything into thisfour-paragraph model.

How many paragraphs do we need – one paragraph is never enough. In fact, we are encouraged to write in paragraphs. Decide on a simple paragraph structure – there’s only 20 minutes for this. The best is the traditional “introduction”, summary “body”, structure with the main “body” part divided into two or three body paragraphs. Overall, you must write at least 150 words.

将所有内容构建到这个四段模型中:

我们需要写多少段(一段是远远不够的)

因为这一部分在雅思考试中只占20分钟,要确定一个简单的段落结构,最好是用传统的“引言”,总结“主体部分”来写。将主体部分分为2-3个段落会比较好,记住字数至少150个单词。

Paragraph 1

In your essay introduction, write one sentence explaining what the graphs show. You can paraphrase the title.

第一段:首先要用一句话来解释图表显示的内容。你可以解释标题。

Pie Chart title: Holiday destinations chosen by Welsh people 1955-2005.

饼图标题:1955-2005年威尔士人选择的度假胜地。

Your first sentence: The pie chart shows the vacation preferences of Welsh people over a fifty-year period starting in 1955 and finishing in 2005.

你的开头:饼图显示了从1955年开始到2005年结束的五十年间威尔士人的度假偏好。

Paragraph 2

In paragraph 2, you should talk about the information that you identified in step 2. This paragraph should focus on the first group. However, it’s good to include half a sentence if you can compare the first group to other data.

在第二段中,应该显示在第二步确定的信息。这一段侧重于展示第一组信息,也可以将第一组信息与其他数据进行比较。

For example; Consumers in Sweden, who spent more than twice as much in total than any other country…. follow with more detail about Sweden.

比如:瑞典消费者的总支出是任何其他国家的两倍多…接下来是关于瑞典更多的数据细节。

Paragraph 3

Talk about the information that you have separated in step 2. This paragraph should focus on the second group.

这一段主要写在第二步获得的信息,侧重于第二组。

For example; In contrast, Belgian shoppers, who spent the least of any group… follow with more detail about Belgian shoppers.

比如:相比之下,比利时购物者是所有群体中消费最少的…接下来是关于比利时购物者的更多细节。

Paragraph 4

Two sentences summarising your description. (What are the major overall trends, changes, etc.)

第四段要用两句话总结你的描述(主要的整体趋势、变化等什么)。

描述饼图的技巧

If you cannot compare the information on your pie charts, don’t panic. In such a case giving a summary of each picture is fine. Make comparisons where relevant.

如果你无法比较饼状图上的信息,可以给出每张图片的摘要,在相关的地方进行比较。

-Avoid giving personal opinions at all costs.(E.g. If the graph shows rising prices and you know it’s because of a war in the Middle East, do not say anything. Your personal opinion must not be mentioned.)

描述要客观,不要发表个人意见。

(例如,如果图表显示石油价格上涨,你的题外认知告诉你是因为中东战争,请不要写出来。因为这是你的个人意见。)

-Always pay attention to the time frame of your pie charts and use the appropriate tense(past, present or future).

始终注意饼状图的时间范围并在写作时使用适当的时态(过去、现在或将来)。

-Focus on getting all of the appropriate data from the pie charts/graphs into your writing.

将饼状图中的所有适当的数据放入写作中。

Vocabulary

描述饼图的表达

One of the EASIEST WAYS to make sure you ‘make comparisons where relevant’ is to use superlatives:the biggest, the smallest, the largest, the most expensive, the least expensive.

Every superlative you use is an automatic comparison.

你使用的每一个最高级都是自动比较。

Using referencing (which, it, that) helps you summarise the information and if you think carefully you can also include a superlative – potatoes, which were the most expensive type of root vegetable in 2019…

使用which, it, that可以帮助你总结信息

Here are a few examples of good wording for the largest section of your pie charts:

最大部分的措辞

It is clear that ____represents the largest portion of _____, whereas _____ is undoubtedly the smallest.

Sales of _____ stood at __% in 1925, which is the majority of_____.

(If the percentage is around 60%) – Nearly a third…

(If the percentage is around 52%) – Over a half of all respondents…

Here are a few examples of good wording for the smallest section of your pie chart:

最小部分的措辞

A small fraction…

Exactly 30% of students…

(If the percentage is around 25%) Roughly a quarter of respondents

…whereas sales for _____ were just 10%.

In 1955 approximately three quarters were ____, whereas in 1960 this had fallen to just under a fifth.

Written forms of percentages and fractions look like this:

百分比和分数的书面形式如下

a half, 50%, 1/2,

a third, 33%, 1/3,

two thirds, 66%, 2/3,

three quarters, 75%, 3/4,

a quarter, 25%, 1/4
