5条线的折线图:拿7分的关键在分类!
看到5条线就头大?别慌!分类描述,向考官展示你的缜密逻辑。
今天用一个真题,带你走一遍开头→概述→分类描述细节的完整流程。
真题示例:👉 点击查看原题
The graph below gives information on the numbers of participants for different activities at one social centre in Melbourne, Australia for the period 2000 to 2020.

第一步:开头段(改写题目)
雅思小作文的结构分三部分:开头、概述、细节描述。
开头直接改写题目,把能换的词尽量换掉,大原则是不要改变原文的意思。
原题:
The graph below gives information on the numbers of participants for different activities at one social centre in Melbourne, Australia for the period 2000 to 2020.
改写后:
The line graph compares the number of people who attended five activities offered at a social centre in Melbourne, Australia from 2000 to 2020.
同义替换策略:
- 近义替换:gives information on → compares
- 近义替换:for the period 2000 to 2020 → from 2000 to 2020
- 解释词义:participants → people who attended
- 加词:offered
- 加词说明图表类型:line graph
✅ 小贴士:开头简练、准确,不必复杂。
第二步:概述段(写出2个最突出的特征)
所谓突出的特点,就是图表最引人注意的地方,最容易让人记住的特征,如整体走向,极值,形成强烈对比的等。
概述段只写最明显的趋势,不写具体数据,不提年份。
图中最突出的2个特征:
- 电影俱乐部始终第一。
- 乒乓球上升最猛,业余表演**下降明显:**对比强烈。
参考写法:
Overall, the film club remained the most popular activity over the given period. Table Tennis experienced the greatest increase in popularity, rising from 4th to 2nd, while the number of amateur dramatics participants fell notably.
👉 while 强调对比、不同。
⚠️ 注意:不要在概述段出现具体数字(如65人、2005年)。
第三步:细节描述,给5条线分类!
核心原则:按"线的变化特征"分组,千万不要逐条写!
这5条线可以分成 3类。
第1类:平稳型(变化不大)
电影俱乐部和武术,20年间人数较稳定。
During the 20 years, the film club consistently attracted the most attendees, about 65. Similarly, martial arts also received a stable number of participants, at around 36.
👉 Similarly 和 also 清晰表达了两条线的相似性。
第2类:反差型(一条升,一条降)
业余表演 vs 乒乓球,走向相反:概述段已提过,这里详述,给具体的人数和时间。
In 2000, 27 people joined the amateur dramatics club, but from 2005 the number of its members fell gradually from 30 to 6. In contrast, the number of table tennis players witnessed a slight rise in the first 10 years and then a sharp increase in the next 10 years, from 18 to 60, overtaking(超过)amateur dramatics in 2010 and martial arts in 2015.
👉 In contrast、fell、rise/increase 写出了二者的不同走向;overtaking 写出了乒乓球持续增长的结果,回应前文提到了从第4位跃居到第2位。
第3类:与众不同(单成一段)
音乐表演俱乐部有3个特点:比其他活动晚5年,从零起步,持续上升。
The musical performance club was founded in 2005 with zero members. However, it recruited more and more participants in the following years, reaching over 20 participants in 2020.
👉 However 表示转折,从无到有,reaching 给出终点数据。
⚠️ 注意这两点,多拿1分!
- 所有线条都要写到,可有详略,但不能遗漏任何一条线。
- 时态统一用过去时:图中时间是2000—2020,已经结束。
