雅思小作文中需要使用較簡單的用詞和表達方法，但卻不失準確;同時雅思小作文中也除了簡單也要側重文中偏難度復雜的用詞和表達方式，但卻不失地道。這也正好解釋了不少考生的壹個誤區：以為所有的用詞都該是高級的，所有的句式都該是復雜的。其實，不論是針對大作文還是小作文，如果仔細研讀考官所提供的範文，我們並不難發現類似?淡妝濃抹?的完美組合。如劍5 Test1, writing task1中考官給出的Model Answer中我們可以發現類似的句子：In 1940, the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan(最基本的簡單句結構). However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again at the present time(有轉折有對比的復雜並列句式，並且添加時間狀語從句before引導，而且用詞也並非簡單的drop卻代替用了dip to下降到?程度的意思). 既然有考官的範文為榜樣，考生們自然應該多靠近模仿?朝拜?才是，將難易相結合進行到底!
雅思小作文開頭段部分：
1. 使用多種表達方式替換圖表chart的說法，如figure圖形, graph圖表;曲線圖, diagram圖表;圖解以及各種圖形各自的英文表達方法;而且為了表示強調題中所給的圖時可加入：given或是provided 等放在chart的後面 ?The figure given shows?.?
2. 當然?萬事開頭難?，所以如何給考官壹個非常不錯的第壹印象也顯得十分重要了。而?The graph shows? 之類的表示方法肯定不是最佳的選擇，因為其他考生也會用幾乎雷同的方式來引言，所以朗閣海外考試研究中心推薦考生們可以嘗試以下寫法：
1) The graph provided reveals?.2) Given is a line chart concerning/ providing a comparison of/ illustrating ?3) A glance at the figure provided reveals? (推薦)
3. 若想通過開頭段給考官留下不錯的印象，那麽壹定要在介紹圖表描述後，加上壹句話概括圖表能反映出的總體情況，並且可以選擇放入壹些插入語，增強色彩，如：
1) Clearly, both rates fluctuated dramatically during this period.2) It is evident that both nations saw considerable fluctuations in rates?
4. 完整看來，以下給出3個不同等級的開頭段(關於中美兩國的出生率情況)可供學會模仿參考：
1) IELTS5 The graph shows some similarities between the birth rates of China and the USA from 1920 to 2000.2) IELTS6 The graph provided reveals some surprising similarities between the Chinese and US birth rates during the period from 1920 to 2000. Clearly,both rates fluctuated dramatically during this period.3) IELTS7 A glance at the graph provided reveals some striking similarities between the Chinese and US birth rates during the period from 1920 to 2000.It is evident that both nations saw considerable fluctuations in fertility, with lows during the 1940s and highs during the 1950s.
雅思小作文主體部分：
壹般小作文題目中就有明確要求在文中對所給數據進行分析比較，因此要想將主體段完成好肯定少不了?對比，比較，連接?等連接詞以及語句，如while, however, in spite of, in stark contrast等連詞，也包括類似it is clear that等插入語。當然為了拿到高分，除了壹些常用的搭配與表達之外，更地道或是更高級的表示也是必須要掌握的，具體如下：當然主體段要想寫的精彩，除了各式用詞之外，也絕對離不開句式的搭配運用，簡單的?淡妝?相信是難不倒考生的，但也必須註意結合?濃妝?，適當加入高級的表示方法，如：中國的出生率從1920年至1935年上升，之後下降到1940年的5%左右。運用不同級別的詞匯句式即可寫出如下3種表達方式：
?淡妝?級別：China?s birth rate rose from 1920 to 1935. It then decreased to 1940 at about 5%.(用詞簡單，直接翻譯的簡單句)
?濃抹?級別：China?s birth rate rose from around 10 percent in 1920 to 15 percent in 1935, and then it fell sharply to somewhere at the vicinity of 5percent in 1940.(用詞調整的並列句)考官提供範文中也有類似表達：In spite of some fluctuations in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people willprobably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries.(劍5 P162 Model Answer)
?煙熏妝?級別：Increasing from approximately 10 percent in 1920 to 15 percent in 1935, China?s birth rate then plunged to a low of just 5 percent in1940.(首先導入分詞伴隨代替常規的China?s birth rate開頭，且用詞更高深);建議各位考生可根據自己的語言功底適當添加此類級別的句子，以增加新鮮感和色彩，從而提高分數。當然此類句式也能時常在考官提供的範文中找到：The first potential location is outside the town itself, and is sited just off themain road to the town of Hindon, lying 12 kms to the north-west.(劍5 P166 Model Answer)
不少考生之所以會出現小作文耗時的現象除了上述羅列的兩大問題，還與平時缺乏練習有著密不可分的關系，因此老師們也強烈建議各位考生參考以上所提，加強練習，真正提升自己的應對能力。最後，祝願大家學習愉快!
