由于国内英文考试题型极少涉及到数据图表的描述，所以雅思小作文让很多烤鸭们不知如何下笔。虽然范文看了不少，看懂范文也很容易，但是提笔完成一篇看似简简单单的150字要求的小作文却不是一件容易的事情。

下面苏苏老师会带领大家如何在半个小时内构建好小作文的写作流程。同学们只需要遵循如下三个步骤即可：首先，同学们要先搭建好写作框架，其次，对框架进行内容填充，最后，注意语言质量，包括词汇和语法准确性和多样性。

第一步：写作框架的搭建

小作文常规上是写4-5段，段落结构搭建如下

第二步：框架内容填充

以剑9 Test 2 的小作文为范例

The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories from 1995-2002.

开头段：对上述方框中的内容进行逐一同义词替换，即改为：

The bar chart compares the changes in how much time the UK residents spent on three types of telephone calls from 1995 to 2002.

概述段：归纳描述对象的趋势变化

Overall,the use of local fixed lines remained constant across the years ,while national and international fixed lines as well as mobiles all gained popularity.

主体段：数据细节描述

1.全文都是文字性描述，没有数据支撑是不完整的小作文；

2.全文大篇幅进行大量数据堆积，而没有按照一定的逻辑性呈现数据，也不是一篇好的小作文；

3.主体段落写作注意时态；

4..注意描述对象是否写正确；

主体段范例：

Local fixed line was the most widely used in 1995, with around 70 billion minutes spent on it, which was nearly twice the figure for national and international fixed-line and 23 times the figure for mobile.

The following four years witnessed steady increments in the use of all three types of telephone calls. While local-fixed line reached the peak at 90 billion minutes in 1999, national and international fixed-line was still half the prevalence of local fixed line and the use of mobile remained fairly low,at only 15 billion minutes.

However, the gap between the types narrowed significantly over the subsequent 4 year period, with the popularity of local fixed line dropping dramatically to 70 billion in 2000 and the use of mobile tripling to 45 billion. Similarly, there was a gradual rise in the use of national and international fixed line, ending at roughly 58 billion.
