learned that just last Saturday, a figure that students did not want to see appeared in the IELTS writing test! It’s the little composition that everyone has heard of flow chart !
You don’t usually practice much, many students will practice more bar chart, pie chart, line chart, table, map questions, etc. but there are many rare flowchart questions The classmates are often ignored for various reasons, causing some friends to be scared in the exam.
Just like seeing the question of the process of recycling rainwater to produce drinking water last Saturday, many students are ready for the next exam. . .
In fact, small IELTS essays are relatively easy compared to later large essays. After all, we don’t need us to have such a strong divergent thinking and argumentation mode, as long as we don’t ignore any strong 3 spanstrong A variety of question-type exercises, will not have such a strong feeling after the exam.
In order for everyone to practice flowchart questions better in daily life, the editor briefly summarizes and introduces the ideas for doing this kind of questions, and what knowledge points we need to accumulate~
How does deal with the new words in the title
The flowcharts are all in the context of a specific field.There will be many professional words in the picture, as well as some related production methods.
Don’t panic. The examiner has taken this into consideration. The main test is the description of the overall process. As long as the examinee can read the picture and speak, when the process is explained, is the proper noun in the picture. Just use it directly, you don't have to think about how to replace it with synonyms.
The editor will give you an example. The picture below shows the process of cement production, but there are many professional words in it.
example: left in Limestone MAIN (limestone), Clay (clay), Crusher (crusher), For those of you who don’t know much about the 4 words Grinder, learn to guess the general meaning by using the icons:
● Limestone and Clay are two types of sand to be mixed. The shape is different, so it can be directly understood as "mixed sand";
● Crusher and Grider both look like sandstone tools,It's just the difference between grinding coarse sand and grinding sand, so both can be understood as "grater".
After carefully observing the picture and guessing the word, we will officially enter the writing stage.
understand the writing process steps and sub-
flow chart must first know where to start and end points, then observe The steps in the process have several stages and how they are structured. can begin to conceive paragraphs.
Generally speaking, the flowchart can be divided into 3-6 natural segments:
● What is the topic of this article? And roughly speaking, there are a few steps.
● The middle paragraph is written in the order of the flowchart,Introduce how to complete it, but it is not necessary to explain every step and every detail in detail. Some more detailed content can be combined and explained. Here is a little trick: When describing information, you can appropriately express it based on common sense in daily life, and it can also enrich the content of the article.
● The ending paragraph can be written as an introduction to the last step of the process.
Writing Notes
full uniform use of general present tense and passive voice
This is Since there will be no persons involved in the specific operation process in the flowchart, and the process does not involve events in the past or the future, the full text generally uses the general present tense and passive voice.
For example, it is still the first step of the above cement production diagram, it should be expressed as:
span1 are crushed into the lime crush, which is placed in the first lime crushed into a1span ready to be mixed in the next step.
Use more synonymous substitutions of verbs _1span2span1 span1 span1 span2span1 span1 in the flowchartSince there is no room for substitution of fixed nouns, more substitutions should be made when using verbs to increase the vocabulary richness of the entire article.
Let’s give a chestnut:
are crushed in crushed into the sentence, which are crushed into the lime to be mixed in a crushed stone first and . the next step. ”
●The place here can also be replaced with dumped/poured/put...; ●
/squeezed/grinded...
Of course, this will depend on the accumulation of synonymous expressions in the examination room.
can be used flexibly with link words _1span 10So everyone must consciously join the connective. 1
Finally, I will share with you a wave of span1 span1 strong span1 _span2 _span2 _span2. Firstly / Secondly / Thirdly / Finally
...
3) The first stage is to ... ../ In the following stage / In the next stage
4) I n the first place / Then
5) First of all / To begin with
6) At the same time / Simultaneously
7) Subsequently / Consequently
8) During / Before this / after this / In the course of
9) In order to/ in order not to/In order that/So as to/ So as not to
The above is the writing method of the flowchart,I hope that students can use it in their daily exercises, and strive for what makes perfect, so that their writing level can be improved.
If you have the conditions, you can ask the teacher for correction after you finish writing. What are your deficiencies and make targeted improvements.
