流程图〔process diagram〕一般来说，每年只考两到三次，属于雅思小作文中的非主流

题型。事实上，流程图和其他数据图最大的区别在于：流程图是纯文字的，以描述为主，属

于说明文。相比之下，柱状图、饼状图、表格等数据图则需要对数据进行分析和比较。写好

流程图，需要注意以下五个方面：

一、时态相对单一，主要用一般现在时。

二、经常使用被动语态，显得比较客观和正式。

三、找出流程图的始末点，并划分中间的步骤或阶段。

四、掌握表示“顺序”的连接词(Sequencing Words)，用来说明过程的各个步骤和先后

顺序。

重点掌握以下几个词。例如，表示过程用\"process\" 或\"procedure\"，过程的各个阶段和

步骤可以用\"stage\"或\"step\"来描述。在谈到第一个步骤时可以用连接词\"At first\"、\"To

begin with\"、\"In the first stage\"等引出。在进入中间的步骤时可以用\"Then\"、\"Next\"、

\"After that\"或\"The second stage\"等，最后一个步骤可以用\"Finally\"、\"Lastly\"或\"The

final stage\"。当然，如果有一些平行的步骤也可以用\"At the same time\"、\"Meanwhile\"

等来引出。

五、对于题目里出现的专业词汇或生词，不认识也没关系，只需照抄即可。

简单地说, 流程图的本质其实就是要求学生将图中出现的文字信息用连贯的语言串起来，不

需要过多地发挥。

建议同学们考前可以多看几篇流程图作文的范文，例如剑6的Test3，以及写作机经里的

流程图例子等等。只要熟悉流程图的特点和写作方法，真正做到有备而来，那么流程图作文

对你来说将会是小菜一碟。

2010年雅思小作文流程图

流程图 基本要领关键就在于要把考官当做“盲人”来对待，而你的任务就是用语言文字把流

程图的main features说明给他，使得他能通过文字在脑海里再现一个清晰的图形。而这就是

流程图的解题要领精髓所在。如果能够全面的展示图中的每个要点〔TA〕，又能使文章连

贯流畅而有逻辑性〔CC〕，并辅之以精确丰富的词汇与语法〔LR, GRA〕那么好的流程图

就应运而生了。

流程图 写作特点解析

流程图写作特点之一： 一般来说，介绍过程要使用一般现在时，而除了要通篇时态一

致之外，还要注意主谓一致与单复数一致的问题。

流程图写作特点之二：定语从句与被动语态要在流程图中经常使用，定语从句的使用是

为了将有关联的两个过程连接。而被动语态的使用是为了增强文章表述的客观性。

流程图写作特点之三：顺序词，雅思写作的得分要点，在流程图里尤为重要，既是流程

〔过程〕，就有顺序，要使过程清晰化，就要有顺序词。

流程图写作特点之四：要适当地添加个别图中没有交代但能从图片中直接读出来的的一

些内容，否则可能达不到字数要求。但是一定要把握尺度，千万不要加上自己的主观观点，

否则会扣分

流程图写作特点之五：所有流程图都是示意图，这意味着在描述时，不要只拘泥于图形

标示是什么，而要写出其代表的含义。

流程图 写作常见问题

在流程图的写作当中，学生在遣词造句的时候会出现一些常见错误。有些是因为词汇和

语法的功底不扎实，有些是因为没有遵循雅思写作的规则，下面的就是一些常见错误的例子

和修改方法。

问题句：The charts show how chocolate is produced

错误分析：由于该题的题目是The illustrations above show how chocolate is produced… 而

学生在写该句时只对题目里的句子做了微小的调整，有照抄原题的嫌疑，所以该开场句不但

不计入有效字数，而且会失分。

修改方法：paraphrasing与细节添加扩展：The ten pictures demonstrates/ illustrates / exhibits

/ depicts / describes / gives information about the different stages of making liquid chocolate .

问题句：cacao tree grow in South America, Africa and Indonesia

错误分析：〔1〕名词表种类时，前面的冠词不能省略，或使用其复数形式，所以应该

是a /the cacao tree或cacao trees。〔2〕开头不能冲上来就直接介绍cacao tree，而是通过主

题词chocolate引出，否则显得太唐突

修改后：Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, which is growing in parts of South America,

Africa and Indonesia.

问题句：The tree produces large red pods，and the pods contain white cocoa beans.

错误分析：该句语法上虽然说的过去但是不符合英语表达习惯，当前后有重复的关联部

分时，可使用定语从句，将有关联的两句话连接。同时，这样还可以增加句型复杂程度。

修改后：The tree produces large red pods which contain white cocoa beans.

问题句： the pods are ripe, they are harvested, the beans are removed, they are fermented for

several days in large wooden boxes.

错误分析：此错误在中国学生中非常常见，由于汉语里的连词数量很少，而又不常用，

所以中国学生通常没有使用连词的习惯，而英语则不同，其“形和”特点使得连词成为英语里

最常用的词类之一，而且连词也是雅思写作的得分点之一〔CC〕.所以，应使用一些表示顺

序的连接词。

修改后：when the pods are ripe,they are harvested, then the beans are removed and they are

fermented for several days in large wooden boxes.

利用写作框架观察阅读文章结构

1. 主题性

阅读文章和雅思写作题目涵盖的范围比较广，具有极强的主题性，其重合话题有：环境、

社会、教育三大方面。阅读文章的内容能帮助考生更好地理解题目的文化背景，积累观点素

材，在备考过程中，考生可以将这两项结合起来。

剑四test 2的reading passage 1“Lost for Words”极好的答复了雅思一道较难的文化类

考题：what are the reasons for the loss of many cultures and languages? How to solve this

problem?”

许多学生因为缺少对这一背景的了解而无从下手，我们完全可以看看这篇阅读文章提供

了哪些素材：

1 “What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old

they are. If it is spoken by children, it is relatively safe。”

2 “…people reject the language of their parents… It begins with a crisis of confidence,

when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society…”

3 “Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public

or discouraging its use in schools, all to promote national unity。”

4 “… They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English…”

这些都是十分准确而又全面的答复，说明了许多语言丧失的原因，甚至连语言丧失对于

文化的连带影响也有所涉及：“Language is also intimately bound with culture, so it may be

difficult to preserve one without the other。”

这篇文章在后文也对如何解决这一问题做出了答复：

“ …a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst prediction from coming

true….’apprentice’ programs have provided life support t several indigenous languages。”

值得注意的是，这篇阅读文章的结构是遵循“背景—原因—解决方式”的架构来安排的，

对于写作结构也有很好的架构作用。

2010年雅思写作Task I图画题频现，许多学生不太熟悉流程图，对于如何描述其过程极

为担忧。其实分析发现，这样的句式在说明型的阅读文章中屡见不鲜，这类阅读文章常常涉

及某个事物的发展过程或者制作方式，其遣词造句都是可以进行学习和利用。

剑五Test 2 Reading passage 1是一篇关于对现代塑料的说明文章，其中有一段就是对塑

料制作过程的描述，很多句式都可以“拿来我用”。

首先是对这一流程的总体概括“The original patent outlined a three-stage process, in which

phenol and formaldehyde were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped

kettle。” 我们可以根据这个句式来描写2009年9月一道关于玻璃瓶子回收过程的题目，如：

“A three-stage process is outlined, in which the used bottles are collected and re-produced

in the plant. “

接着，制作过程中的细节按照先后顺序铺开，并结合被动语态与准确的动词选择：“The

resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into

powder. Other substances were then introduced, including…. . In the last stage, the heated

Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould of the required shape …”，其中的”cool, break, grind,

pour”等动词都是在工作流程中的高频词汇。“then, in the last stage”也可以作为极好的连

接过渡词。

剑五Test 4 Reading passage 2关于强化玻璃的说明文中也有类似的描述句式：“… used

to make glass, and nickel can also be introduced by fragments of nickel alloys falling into the

molten glass. As the glass is heated, these atoms react to form …”

其中的“be used to, introduce, melt, heat”也都可以用在描述中。

由于阅读文章中也不乏对于数据的说明，我们也很容易找到可以在雅思图表作文中使用

的句式。

剑四 Test 2 Reading passage 2中的一段“According to…, 18% of patients…; 12% suffer

from…, which is only 1% more than those…. . Those suffering from… represents 7% of their

patients, and candida sufferers represent an equal percentage. … represent 6% and 5%

respectively, and a further 4% see… “

这是一段很好的排序段范例，在描写数据的同时也比较了大小，句式变化多样，考生也

不妨学习一下。

尽管没有与雅思写作辩论文章完全对应的形式，阅读文章中也有很多可以效仿的观点表

述句式，与学生动辄“some people think…”的单调表述相比，其表达生动多样。在此进行

了一些总结：

如“… reject this, pointing out that… ”， “When it comes to…,…”， “… believe the

main reason for… is…”， “there is a widespread belief that…”， “It was once assumed that…. .

However,…”， “There is an abundance of evidence to support the belief that…” , “the answer

to… depends on…”，等。

总之，作为较为正式的英文表达，雅思阅读是极好的写作模仿对象。考生可以从阅读文

章里汲取许多好的句式，以克服在日常写作中“中式英语”的问题。

5. 用词

雅思写作对词汇的要求主要是准确性和多样性，许多学生对这一标准没有明确的认识和

把握，而在阅读文章中可以很清楚地了解到什么样的词汇更适合书面表达。
