雅思寫作是中國考生們的一大頭疼科目，也是難以提高的科目。新航道 章躍老師分享小作文的柱圖3：看似柱圖，其實線圖!，希望能對即將要參加考試的烤鴨們有所幫助!

  * 數據圖：【柱圖】

  注意：

  1)年份連續，可以同色柱子的頂點連線，從而柱圖變成四線圖。

  2)尤其要會寫“沒有貫穿全時段的線”。

  # Introduction

  Shown in the chart are a particular store’s annual numbers of rentals and sales of films in three formats. And the investigated period spans from 2002 to 2011.

  * 本段第1句是倒裝現象。這個倒裝句型可以當成套話記住和使用。Shown in the xxxx are/is xxxxxxx.

  * 第二句話的寫作方式在之前的范文中也經常出現。就是把年份或者地點拿出來寫成單獨一句。

  * 對于圖形的總述，如果在開頭沒有就在結尾必須有。

  # Body

  Firstly, there was an obvious slide in the number of rentals– from approximately 185,000 to barely 60,000 over the year. Secondly, following a different trend, DVD sales had a surge and reached over 170,000 copies in 2004. In that year, DVD sales for the first time overtook / exceeded the number of rentals. During the subsequent years, increasing numbers of DVD copies were sold, and the peak of sales – 215,000 copies – occurred in 2007. Thereafter, the salesslid gradually to 170,000 copies. However, DVD remained most popular / the most popular format.

  * 既然是線圖，就是線圖的寫法。

  * 但是別忘記對圖中的信息進行分組。主體部分的第1段是兩條貫穿了整個period的線。

  * 下一段是兩條“沒有貫穿全時段”的線。

  VHSdisappeared in the store in 2006, and the four years before 2006witnessed its plummeting sales from over 80,000 to 10,000 copies. By marked contrast, it was not until the year of 2007 that Blu-ray films were sold in that store, and in that year, the sales were merely a few thousands. After that, there was a slow growth to roughly 15,000 copies.

  * 這一段尤其值得注意。

  * “沒有貫穿全時段”的線怎么寫。

  * 尤其是在寫Blu-ray時的強調(時間狀語)句。

  # Conclusion

  Overall, the situation varied enormously from kind to kind / from one kind to another.

  * 對于圖形的總述，如果在開頭沒有就在結尾必須有。
