那些四两拨千斤的小作文技巧

            ——环球教育天津分校写作老师 林圣婴

相比于大作文，小作文不受广大烤鸭们的重视。对于学霸们，小作文的难度确实要远远低于大作文。但是对于广大的学酥学弱们，这两种作文并没有本质区别，都是两个字—不会！接下来，我会通过这个小专题详细讲解下那些鲜为人知的小作文技法，套路，规律，来帮助大家短时间突破小作文的障碍。

咱们以最近一道剑13Test2的题目为例：

The chart below shows the percentage ofhouseholds in owned and rented accommodation in England and Wales between 1918and 2011.

当我在课上让同学描述1918年的租房数据时，大多数人是这样写的：households in rented accommodation was 78%. 基本是图上的信息的复制粘贴，简直不要太舒服！如果在考场上的作文大量充斥这样的句子，等待你的也只能是考官的白眼和万年低分了。

所以，为了帮助大家更顺利的写出小作文，我给大家介绍第一个四两拨千斤的小作文技巧：读取数据。

ü  最基本的一种描述方法就是开门见山说数据：

78% of householdslived in rented accommodation in 1918.

ü  它的简单变形就是把数字放到句尾，这样句子就变成了：

The proportion ofhouseholds in rented accommodation was 78% in 1918.

ü  还可以用there be句型改写：

There was 78% ofhouseholds in rented accommodation in 1918.

ü  也可以用account for改写：

Households inrented accommodation accounted for 78% of all British families in 1918.

ü  如果用时间做主语就形成了拟人句：

The year 1918 saw78% of households living in rented accommodation.

竟然能有这么多种方式表达“在1918，78%的英国家庭住在出租房里”！这种方法get了吗？咱们拿一道题目来练练手把。

剑12Test5:

The bar chart below shows the percentage of Australianmen and women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in2010. C12T5
