搶一個現在。 '因為它'將是絕對有益的。

Let's get crackin'.

讓我們'的破解'。

Decide what will be in each paragraph.

決定每段的內容。

This is what you need to do:

這是你需要做的。

You need to group the information.

你需要對資訊進行分組。

Now, you can't see it (of course, 'cause you're listening to the podcast). However, if you

現在，你無法看到它（當然，'因為你&39;正在聽播客）。然而，如果你

go to the website you'd be able to find the post.

去網站你'就能找到帖子。

Go to podcast number 66 and you'll be able to see all the graphic information.

進入播客66號，你'就能看到所有的圖文資訊。

You'll be able to see the whole presentation.

你'就能夠看到整個演示。

There's a graph I'll be using to describe as an example and it's basically UK supermarket

有一張圖我'會用來作為例子來描述，它基本上是英國的超市'。

sales between 2001 and 2009, in million pounds sterling.

2001年至2009年期間的銷售額，組織、部門為百萬英鎊。

I'll just briefly describe it.

我'就簡單介紹一下。

There's 5 lines. Each one representing a supermarket: Sainsbury�s, Tesco, Asda, Morrison�s,

有'的5條線。每一個都代表著一家超市。Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda, Morrison。

and the Co-op.

和合作社。

Now in this stage, when you see the graph, what you need to do is group it.

現在在這個階段，當你看到這個圖形的時候，你需要做的是分組。

And I recommend doing 4 paragraphs in total.

而且我建議一共做4段。

One for your introduction.

一個給你介紹。

One for your main body paragraph #1.

你的正文第1段有一個。

Then main body paragraph #2.

然後正文第2段。

And then for the conclusion (final paragraph).

然後是結論（最後一段）。

When you're grouping the information...

當你'對資訊進行分組時...

I'm telling you about grouping the information first because when you're in the exam room,

我'告訴你先把資料分組，因為當你'在考場上。

what you need to do is get a solid plan together, and then follow the plan.

你需要做的是制定一個堅實的計劃，然後按照計劃行事。

So I always recommend that you plan your essays.

所以，我一直建議你規劃好自己的作文。

You plan your body paragraphs,

你要規劃好你的正文段落。

get a rough idea about what you're going to do,

對自己要做的事情有一個大概的瞭解。

and then when you start writing, you start off with your introduction (which I'll tell

然後當你開始寫的時候，你就從你的介紹開始（我'會告訴你的）。

you how to do in a second)

你如何在一秒鐘內做)

then you transfer your notes from your plan (body pragraph#1, body paragraph #2)

然後你把你的計劃中的筆記轉移到你的計劃中（正文第1段，正文第2段）。

and then you stick in your conclusion.

然後你堅持你的結論。

So that's why I'm trying to teach you now how to group the information.

所以，這就是為什麼我'現在要教你如何將資訊分組。

With the graph, I can see (in front of me) the 2 companies that represent more or less

通過這張圖，我可以看到（在我面前）2家公司或多或少地代表著

similar evolution.

類似的演變。

So in the first paragraph, I'm going to talk in detail about these 2 'cause they're the

所以在第一段，我'要詳細談談這2個'，因為它們'是

ones that have basically just increased all the way.

的，基本上就是一路增加。

And then in the next paragraph, I'll talk about the second grouping, which is the ones

然後在下一段，我就說說第二組，也就是那些。

that haven't done as well, which have levelled off and just remained stable.

沒有做得很好，已經趨於平穩，只是保持穩定。

For the second part, and I'll mention one (which is the exception; the co-op, which

對於第二部分，我'會提到一個（這是例外；合作社，這

rolls, stabilized, and then sank or levelled off).

卷，穩定下來，然後下沉或平復）。)

So I get a rough plan in front of me.

於是，我面前有了一個大致的計劃。

Then you keep it apart and then go straight into the introduction.

然後你把它分開，然後直接進入介紹。

So for the introduction, what I strongly recommend you do is:

所以對於介紹，我強烈建議你做的是。

You write 1 sentence that describes the graph and the general idea.

你寫1句話，描述圖形和大意。

So in this case, if I'll describe the graph I'll say "The line graph shows the sales of

所以在這種情況下，如果我'會描述這個圖，我就會說"線圖顯示了銷售的

5 UK supermarkets between 2001 and 2009."

2001年至2009年期間，英國5家超市.&quot。

Now, that's one description. But what I recommend is that you do both.

現在，這是一個描述。但我建議的是，你兩者都要做。

Where you describe what the graph is and the general idea of what the graph is trying to

在這裡，你描述了這個圖形是什麼，以及這個圖形想要表達的大致意思

communicate.

溝通。

So this is another introduction you could use:

所以這是你可以使用的另一個介紹。

"From the line graph, it is clear that the majority of the UK supermarkets saw sales

"從線圖中可以看出，英國大部分超市的銷售額

grow over the ten-year period."

在十年間增長.&quot。

And that's general; it's almost like the summary. But also described what the actual graph is

而這'是一般的，它'幾乎就像總結。但也描述了實際的圖是什麼

showing.

顯示。

So just summarize, describe what the graph is (what it's showing) and what it's trying

所以，只要總結一下，描述一下這個圖是什麼（它顯示的是什麼），它想做的是什麼

to describe as well.

來形容也。

Now, sometimes you won't be as fortunate and you'll get one that just has lots of different

現在，有時你不會'幸運，你'會得到一個，只是有很多不同的。

data, and there's no clear pattern.

數據，並沒有明確的模式。

So you just basically say that. You can say:

所以你就基本上說。你可以說。

"From the lie graph, it is clear that there is no constant pattern with regards to student

"從謊言圖中可以看出，學生的情況沒有恆定的模式。

enrollments in the United States, over the period shown (or over the 50-year period)."

在所示期間(或50年期間)，美國的註冊人數。

And I described what's roughly on both axis, what the graph is showing, the actual subject

而我描述的是'在兩個軸上的大致內容，圖上顯示的是什麼，實際的主題是什麼？

of the graph (in this case the companies, or in here the case of students, the enrollments)

的圖形（在這裡是公司，在這裡是學生的情況下，是入學人數）。

and what it's trying to describe.

以及它所要描述的內容。

Now, for your summary, they do pretty much the same but you don't have to describe (or

現在，對於你的總結，他們做的差不多，但你不必描述（或）。

course) the graph.

當然）的圖形。

But you can go into a little bit more detail.

但你可以再詳細一點。

Now, in this case what I would say is, I would go in and mention the major players.

現在，在這種情況下，我想說的是，我會去提主要的參與者。

Not all the major players but it depends on the graph here (if I only go about 5 so I

不是所有的主要玩家，但要看這裡的圖（如果我只去5個左右，所以我。

can mention them all).

可以一一提及）。)

If I had more I would probably just group them and say "The northern countries..." or

如果我有更多的東西，我可能會把它們歸為一類，然後說"北方國家......"或者。

let's say, "The majority of the western suppliers..." or whatever.

比方說，"大多數西方供應商......"或其他什麼。

In this case (because I've got 5), I can go into a little bit of detail.

在這種情況下(因為我'有5個)，我可以說得更詳細一些。

And basically summarize each one.

並基本總結出每一個。

So here, I'll say:

所以在這裡，我'就說。

"Overall, it is clear that Tesco and Sainsbury's increased sales the most, followed by Asda

"總的來說，很明顯，Tesco和Sainsbury's增加的銷售額最多，其次是Asda。

and Morrison's, the Co-op undoubtedly performed the worst."

和莫里森'的，合作社無疑表現最差.&quot。

So just to quickly summarize, this is the process:

所以就快速總結一下，這是一個過程。

Step 1: Identify the information, group it, and start planning your body paragraph 1 and

第一步：確定資料，進行歸類，開始規劃正文第1段及

2, write a rough plan for each one.

2、為每一個人寫一份粗略的計劃。

Step 2: Write your introduction (describe briefly what the graph is and the general

第二步：寫下你的介紹（簡單描述一下這個圖形是什麼，以及大致的內容

idea).

觀念）。)

Step 3: Write your body paragraphs, following very closely the plan you wrote before.

第三步：按照之前寫的計劃，非常嚴格地寫出你的正文段落。

Step 4: Write your summary. If you can, include the maximums, the minimums and even the exceptions.

第四步：寫出你的總結。如果可以的話，包括最大、最小，甚至是例外情況。

But what I'm trying to say is in the summary, go into a little bit more detail than in the

但我'想說的是，在總結中，要比總結中更詳細一點。

introduction.

導讀：

Now, some 5 tips:

現在，一些5技巧。

1. Your opinion is not necessary.

1.您的意見沒有必要。

Maybe you know the reason why the sales failed or why gold prices increased, but do not mention

也許你知道銷售失敗的原因或金價上漲的原因，但不提

it; it's not necessary.

它；它'沒有必要。

Because what you have to do is a purely objective task (which is describe the bar chart in front

因為你要做的是一個純客觀的任務（就是描述前面的柱狀圖）。

of you).

的你）。)

2. Check to make sure the subject and verb agree.

2.檢查主語和動詞是否一致。

That's a very common problem.

這是一個很常見的問題。

3. Avoid basic words (big, small, good, bad... words like these).

3.避免使用基本詞彙（大、小、好、壞......這樣的詞彙）。

You can usually use more sophisticated vocabulary.

你通常可以使用更復雜的詞彙。

4. Unlike your IELTS Task 2 essay, you do not need a topic sentence in the introduction.

4.與雅思Task 2作文不同的是，你不需要在引言中加入主題句。

You just need to do it like I said before.

你只需要像我之前說的那樣做就可以了。

5. In the final paragraph (this is your summary paragraph, not your conclusion). Do not use

5.在最後一段（這是你的總結段，不是結論）。不要使用

"To conclude..."

"最後......&quot。

Use "In summary..." or "Overall, we can see... blah blah blah."

使用"總之......"或"總的來說，我們可以看到......諸如此類&quot。

Now then, let's have a look at the grammar you would need, and verbs and the nouns and

現在，讓我們來看看你需要的文法，動詞和名詞和。

all the rest of it.

其餘的一切。

First of all, a good skill to have to show the examiner you know a variety of structures,

首先，要有一個好的技能，讓考官看到你對各種結構的瞭解。

is to transform the words and the sentences from active to passive.

就是把詞語和句子由主動轉化為被動。

Let's go through 3 examples here, and I want you to try and transform them before I do:

讓我們在這裡通過3個例子，我希望你能在我之前嘗試著轉化它們。

Sales crashed to new levels.

銷售額砸到了新的水準。

How would we transform that to the passive?

我們將如何將其轉化為被動？

We would say, "There was a crash to new levels in sales."

我們會說，"在銷售方面有一個崩潰到新的水準.&quot。

Now, if we wanted to change, "The sales rose quickly," how would we change that?

現在，如果我們想改變，"銷售額迅速上升，"我們將如何改變？

We would say, "There was a quick rise in the sales." or "... quick rise in sales.)

我們會說，"有一個快速上升的銷售。"或"......快速上升的銷售）。)

Another one, "Employment failed drastically."

另一個，"就業大失敗&quot。

We could say, "There was a drastic fall in employment."

我們可以說，"就業率急劇下降&quot。

Some more. Let's go from passive to active. And this is basically doing the same but in

再來一些。讓我們從被動變成主動。而這基本上是在做同樣的事情，但在

reverse.

反面。

Here's the first one for you to transform, "There was an incredible decrease in output."

這裡'是第一個給你改造的，"輸出有不可思議的下降。

"There was an incredible decrease in output."

"產量下降得令人難以置信.&quot。

How would we transform that?

我們將如何改造？

We would say, "Output decreased incredibly."

我們會說，"產出不可思議地減少了&quot。

I'll say a few more. Write them down and then try and change them.

我'多說幾句。把它們寫下來，然後試著改變它們。

"In 2010 there was a plunge in turnover." Transform that.

"2010年營業額出現暴跌."轉變。

"In 2010 there was a plunge in turnover."

"在2010年，營業額出現了暴跌.&quot。

Of course, "Turnover plunged in 2010."

當然，"營業額在2010年大幅下滑&quot。

"After the crisis there was a crash in profit."

"危機過後，利潤出現了崩盤。

Transformation, "Profit crashed after the crisis."

轉型，"危機後利潤崩盤&quot。

Now, let's have a look at adverbs...

現在，讓我們來看看副詞......。

If we have an "It is..." sentence, for example

如果我們有一個"It is..."句子，例如

"It is clear the trend is downward."

"很明顯，趨勢是向下的&quot。

We can transform that and we can say,

我們可以轉化，我們可以說。

Clearly the trend is downward."

顯然，趨勢是向下的&quot。

Another way; I'll give you another example.

另一種方式；我'再舉一個例子。

"It is evident that sales dropped in the first quarter."

"很明顯，一季度的銷售量有所下降.&quot。

Here we could say, "Evidently sales in the first quarter dropped."

在這裡，我們可以說，"顯然，第一季度的銷售額下降了&quot。

What I'm doing is I'm showing you a variety of different structures that you can use in

我正在做的是我'向你展示各種不同的結構，你可以使用在

the exam, to increase your grammatical range and pick up some points.

考試，增加自己的文法範圍，拿下一些分數。

Now, here's some useful expressions. Hopefully, you've got a pen in front of you and you can

現在，這裡'是一些有用的表達方式。希望你有一支筆在你的面前，你能

write these down because:

寫下這些是因為：

1. Not only is it going to increase the chances that you'll remember them.

1.不僅會增加你'記住它們的機會。

2. You also got a handy list in front of you.

2.你的面前也有一張方便的清單。

"Over a five-year period..." (Of course you can adapt that) "Over a ten-year period..."

"五年內......"（當然你可以改編）"十年內......&quot。

"Over a five-day period..."

"在五天的時間裡......&quot。

Here's another one: "Throughout the 1980s..." or "Throughout the 1990s..." "Throughout the

Here's another one: "Through the 1980s..." or "Through the 1990s..." "Through the...

1810s..." It just shows the actual duration.

1810年代......"它只是顯示了實際的時間。

"Throughout the 1980s sales were climbing consistently." For example.

"在整個20世紀80年代，銷售額一直在攀升."例如。

Here's another one:

這裡還有一個。

"The period from 1944 to 1999 witnessed... ("a spectacular growth," for example)"

"從1944年到1999年期間見證了......。("驚人的增長，"例如)&quot。

"The period from 1950 to 1960 witnessed explosive growth."

"從1950年到1960年，這段時間見證了爆炸性的增長.&quot。

And then another one:

然後再來一個。

"... from that time on..."

"......從那時起......&quot。

So we could have said, "In July, sales failed. And from that time on they continued to fall

所以我們可以說，"7月，銷售失敗。從那時起，他們繼續下降

until May."

直到5月.&quot。

So hopefully you've wrote those down and you've got a nice list of time expressions.

所以希望你'已經把這些寫下來了，你'已經有了一個不錯的時間表達列表。

Here are some useful verbs... Here's a tip as well:

這裡有一些有用的動詞...這裡'也有一個提示。

Get used to using these verbs and learn the past of these verbs (the "past" form).

習慣使用這些動詞，學習這些動詞的過去式（the "past"形式）。

For example: "Sink," "Sank," "Sunk," and "Fall," "Fell," "Fallen."

例如："沉沒，""下沉，""沉沒，"和"墜落，""墜落，"墮落.&quot。

For the ones that describe a downfall or negative reaction, we've got:

對於那些描述倒黴或負面反應的，我們'了。

"Plunge"

"暴跌&quot。

"Crash"

崩潰&quot。

"Tumble"

Tumble&quot。

"Sink"

匯&quot。

"Fall"

秋天和quot。

"Drop"

滴&quot。

"Decline"

"拒絕&quot。

And once again, we're just improving the lexical resource.

再一次，我們'只是在改善詞彙資源。

So write them down and try to incorporate them in the next essay you write.

所以，把它們寫下來，並試著把它們融入到你下次寫的作文中。

"Plunge," "crash," "tumble," "sink," "fall," "drop," and "decline."

"暴跌,""崩潰,""翻滾,""下沉,""下跌,""下降,"和"下降.&quot。

And then some verbs that describe a stabilization. We've got:

然後是一些形容穩定的動詞。我們&#39；了。

"Stabilize"

Stabilize"Stabilize&quot。

"Remain stable"

"保持穩定&quot。
