今天我们来说一下小作文线图的趋势特征。
小作文的线图包含了四个基本趋势，分别是上升，下降，平稳，波动。那我给出的都是动词表达，既然是动词，你就需要注意它的过去式，小作文最重要的一个时态就是一般过去时态，所以说所有的动词的过去式你都需要注意。在这就说两个比较重要的，一个是rise，过去式是rose，还有一个grow，过去式是grew，这两个容易出错。除了这些动词表达之外，你还需要注意它的名词表达，因为你不仅要学会用动词表达上升，你还需要用名词去表达上升画红线的部分，可以做动词也可以做名词。有一些动词的名词形式，比如说像grow，它的名词是growth，然后fluctuate 就是flutuating，是去e+ing就可以了，那么其他的名词我就不多说了。
很多同学为了去投机取巧，就会说老师那我只记住其中的一两个或两三个，可不可以？因为在一篇文章当中我们会出现很多次的上下，平稳，波动，特别是当线数比较多的时候，你光去记住两三个是远远不够的，这样会造成句式非常重复。
同学们，今天为大家带来了最近一次雅思考试（5月12日）的真题预测和分析，来不及看完的记得先收藏好哦~

A类小作文
小作文重点关注流程图、表格、饼图、柱图。
以下为饼图例题及范文解析：
题目：
The pie charts show thepercentage of five kinds of books sold by a bookseller between 1972 and 2012.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, andmake comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
解题思路：
在观察饼图时，我们可在脑海中将它转化为柱状图或者折线图，重点关注其变化趋势。可以将上升趋势的Adult fiction和Children's fiction 放在一起描述，下降趋势的Biography和Others以及先升后降的Travel可以放在一起描述
参考范文：
These three pie charts comparethe popularity of five different kinds of books according to the sales of abookseller during forty years.
From 1972 to 2012, the sales offictions witnessed a gradual rise and always ranked the top among thesecategories. In 1972, adult fiction and children's fiction were equally popular,and the sales of these two were both 20%. Then the percentage of adult fictionsurged to 45% in the following 40 years. On the other hand, the sales ofchildren's fiction experienced steady growth and reached 25% in the year 2012.

To what extent do you agree ordisagree?
题型：同意与否题
话题：科技类

Over the past century, scienceand technology has been developing sounprecedentedlythat it has changed human life dramatically. Somepeople believe that we should return to basics and live without technology. Inmy opinion, technology has greatly improved our life quality and workefficiency despite the troubles it brought us.
Admittedly, with the advances of technology, there emergesome unexpected inconvenience and confusion. Take the constantly updatedcomputer viruses as an example, if infected by a virus, the computer system maybreak down suddenly and tons of data will get lost, and it may even lead toindividual information disclosureeventually. Another example is severeenvironmental pollution and the accompanying species extinction nowadays. Thevast use of cars and the exhaust emission have undoubtedly speeded up theworld's air pollution.
However, it does not mean thatby getting rid of technology we can lead a simpler life without worries.Instead, every aspect of our life has already been intimately connected withtechnology and it has made our work and life much easier. There is no doubtthat technological progressions have significantly improved the productivity ofhuman society. For instance, the invention of robots are helpful in dealingwith thoserepetitiveand mechanicaltasks. With the helpof internet, people around the world are able to communicate with each other atthe fastest speed and the lowest cost.
Indeed, it is your right tochoose the lifestyle of a hermit and stick only with the simplicity. But it isundeniable that science and technology has made the world a better place tolive, and as long as wekeepin mindof its negative influences, Ibelieve technology will lead us to a bright future.
