本文内容紧接本人3月11号所发表之博文《剑6图表作文范文大PK》。 在该文中,我提供了两篇剑6上没有提供范文的图表作文高分范文,并设了一个小小的竞猜-哪篇范文更符合雅思高分作文的标准?今天我就来帮大家把两篇文章的优缺得失详细地来分析一下,看看高手之间的对决究竟谁能胜出。
PK选手介绍:
1号选手: Mark Griffiths,北京新航道学校外教。所写范文来自胡敏主编的《剑桥雅思真题点石成金6》。
2号选手: 吴建业,慎小嶷,环球雅思学校写作主讲。所写范文来自《剑桥雅思全真试题原版解析6》。
PK题目:剑6A类Test2图表作文(P52)
The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England
between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting
the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Average distance in miles travelled per person per year, by mode of travel

PK规则:将两篇范文分为Introduction,Body和Conclusion三大部分分别PK,根据雅思作文评分标准将文章质量按“真的超级好!!”(积分3分),“还不错!”(积分2分)和“其实也还~好......”(积分1分)分为3档(毕竟是范文,不可能有写得很差的),最后计算总分决出高手中的高手!
Introduction PK:
1号选手:The table indicates the number of miles by the average English person in 1985 and 2000, using various means of transport.
2号选手:The table demonstrates how different modes of travel changed in England in 15 years
spanning from 1985 to 2000. In general, the modes are classified into two kinds in
terms of average miles travelled per person per year: one enjoyed rising popularity
while the other decreasing.
Akata点评:
Introduction的部分我觉得明显1号更胜一筹。原因如下:
1. 1号的开头更加概括。
图表作文的要求是summarise the information,而图表作文第一段只要求把这个图表表现的是什么内容写清楚就可以了,能够用一句话把意思表达清楚的就不要用第二句话。
2. 2号的开头犯了一个原则性的错误。
2号范文的第一句话The table demonstrates how different modes of travel changed in England in 15 years spanning from 1985 to 2000 时间状语有问题。图表当中只有1985年和2000年两个时间概念,时间状语用in 15 years spanning from 1985 to 2000 如果读者没有看过表格的话就会误认为图表当中包含了从1985,1986,1987......一直到2000年一共15个时间点!图表作文的最高境界就是让读者光看你的report,脑海当中就能够直接浮现出图表本身。从这个意义上来说,2号文章在这方面做的不好。这里的时间状语就应该像1号文章一样写成in 1985 and 2000。
PK结果:1号的introduction“真的超级好!!”,获得积分3分。2号的开头由于语言罗嗦且时间表达有问题因此评为“其实也还~好......”,积分1分。第一轮比拼1号选手3:1领先!
Body PK:
1号选手:The number of miles walked, cycled and travelled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles travelled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 2000.
The number of miles travelled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased.
The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 1985 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 2000. The number of miles travelled by long distance bus more than doubled from 54 miles (1985)to 124 miles (2000). The number of miles driven by taxi trebled from 13 miles (1985) to 42 miles (2000). The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport also increased.
2号选手:The travel modes which gained popularity in the period included cars, long distance buses, trains, taxis and others. Cars remained top among the modes in the 15 years,with its average miles increasing considerably from 3,199 in 1985 to 4,806 in 2000. Long distance buses and taxis seemed to be warmly welcomed by travelers, so average miles travelled in the two modes almost tripled.
Travels by walking, bicycles and local buses lost travelers’ favor in the one and a half decade. Average travelling distance by local buses suffered the biggest decrease, dropping from 429 to 274, whilst the number of miles by walking and bikes fell mildly from 255 to 237 and from 51 to 41 respectively. Despite the decreases, however, the total miles travelled grew from 4,740 to 6,475.
Akata点评:
Body的部分双方的思路都是一致的,按照分类原则把表格当中的数据分为“2000年相比1985年增长的”和“2000年相比1985年下降的”两大类,然后在每一个大类当中在分别具体分析重点数据。不同的是1号是先写下降的数据再写上升的数据,2号则是相反,这个先后顺序其实都无所谓,我个人是倾向于像1号一样先写数据少的一组再写数据比较多的一组。
在主体段的语言质量方面两篇范文可谓旗鼓相当。显然,这篇图表作文当中“增加”和"减少"两个概念会频繁用到,因此语言表达的variety就特别重要。在这方面我觉得1号这次略逊一筹-因为几乎所有表示“增加”和“减少”的单词用的都是千篇一律的increase和decrease;而2号的文章用"gain popularity"表示数量增加,"lose travelers' favor"来表示数量减少就显得更有新意。两篇范文当中值得同学们借鉴的比较地道的表达我在上面已经用红色字体标出来了。是谁的文章比较“红”呢?显然是2号的文章,虽然1号的语言质量其实也已经相当高了......
综上,在Body部分1号文章评为“还不错!”,积分2分;2号文章评为“真的超级好!!”,积分3分。这个部分2号选手3:2扳回一城,但总比分仍以5:4稍稍落后。
Conclusion PK:
1号选手:Overall, the number of miles travelled by the average English person rose from 4,740
miles in 1985 to 6,475 miles in 2000, with the increase of cars accounting for almost all of that increase.
2号选手: In brief, the total travelling distance in the country grew in 15 years when cars,
long distance buses, trains, taxis and other modes of travel were more popular
and walking, bicycling and local transportation less popular.
Akata点评:
结尾的部分双方同样势均力敌,基本上都是比较归纳表格的总体趋势特点。双方的语言质量都属于“还不错”(要想在结尾部分写出“真的超级好”的句子说实话也挺难的),各得2分!
PK最终结果:
虽然在不同的部分互有胜负,但1号文章凭借着introduction部分的优势以总比分7:6小胜2号文章。按照我的经验,1号文章如果按照雅思考试标准评分至少8分,2号文章虽然开头段略逊一筹但总体也可以达到7.5以上。如果把1号的introduction部分加上2号的body部分再加两者中任何一篇的conclusion就绝对是一篇可以说几乎完美无缺的9分满分作文了!
