Writing Task 1
個文章結構之前講過 今次詳細啲講 有埋例子

圖表題文章結構 (Bar chart, pie chart, graph)

1) Introduction
- 描述題目 (重點: 要換下啲字)
- 描述總體趨勢

2) Body
- 仔細描述 (需要數據支持)
- 最多、第二最多、最少同不規則

更正： 唔需要總結!

1a) Introduction
描述題目呢part最主要係表達到What + When + Where
同埋要轉下啲字

最常見既開頭有：
The graph shows/gives/ provides information about …
The chart shows/ illustrates /describes …
The graphs compare … with …

例子：
Q: The bar chart shows the divorce rates in two European countries from 2011 to 2015.
A: The bar chart provides information about divorces/ the statistics on divorces / number of divorces/ percentage of divorces in Finland and Sweden between 2011 and 2015.
其實個意思係一樣
問題用Two countries 你就可以寫個國家名出黎

Q: The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land become less productive. The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s.
A: The pie chart displays the principal causes of farming land deterioration while the table illustrates how North America, Europe and Oceania were affected by these factors in the 1990s.

Q: The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in 2 different countries.
A: The charts compare the amount of water used for agriculture, industry and homes around the world and the use of water in Brazil and Congo.



1b)描述總體趨勢(Overview)
- 個General trend 係好似第一印象咁，第一眼留意到啲咩
- 唔好寫數字、百分比、數量
- 通常會用過去式，但留意有無年份

Overall, Sweden experienced a downward trend while Finland showed an upward trend throughout the period. The divorce rates for both countries had some fluctuations. Although Finland initially has a lower percentage, there were more divorces in Sweden at the end of the period.

In general, fossil fuels are the dominant types of energy and this trend will continue in the future. Nuclear and renewable energy sources have a relatively small proportion of the total energy use. However, there is a notable gradual increase in use of sustainable energy.

IELTS-SIMON.COM既例子
It is clear that calls made via local, fixed lines were the most popular type, in terms of overall usage, throughout the period shown. The lowest figures on the chart are for mobile calls, but this category also saw the most dramatic increase in user minutes.

例子1: (雖然唔係perfect,但個flow係正路)
Q: Government investment in the visual arts, the kind you commonly see in art galleries, is a waste of money. Governments must invest this money in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

e.g.
[重新描述問題] Many local governments spend large portions of their budget not only on public services, but also on the visual arts. [陳述意見] Although I agree that it is important to invest in local amenities, I do not think spending on the visual arts is a waste of money. [文章概要] This essay will discuss this issue using examples to support arguments and demonstrate points.

On the one hand, [陳述立場一] spending a significant amount of the government budget on public services is beneficial for society. [解釋立場] Providing for basic amenities, such as hospitals, roads and schools, helps to determine the quality of life that most citizens will have. [例子] For example, a recent survey by Education Today shows that countries that spend more on schools have a population that is higher in literacy, by 65%, compared to those that dedicate no money to education. [總結段落] Therefore, it is apparent that spending on public services is a worthwhile investment for a government.

[立場二] → [解釋] → [例子] → [總結段落]

[總結文章] To sum up, although there are clear benefits of ensuring a large amount of investment goes into public services, I do not believe spending money on the arts is a waste of money as this too provides important benefits. [最後想法] In the future, governments show consider budgeting for both.

You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because he or she always has friends visiting. They have parties in the room and sometimes borrow your things without asking you.

Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college and ask for a new room next term. You would prefer a single room. Explain your reasons.


Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Peter Park and one of the students living in the rooms provided by the college. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my roommate and request a new room next term.

First, my roommate always bring friends to our room and have parties. He even invited three friends to our room and the night before the final exams. My concentration level was dropped by the noise that was made by them.

Moreover, my things have been disappeared and later I was told that he took them without my consent. My calculator was disappeared right before my mathematics class. I had to do the calculations? by bare hand during the lesson.

I am afraid that my academic result will drop due to the disturbances. It would be appreciated if you could arrange another room for me next term. A single room is preferred to avoid the same problem.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Peter Parker

1. Room出現咗4次 drop 2次, 諗諗佢
2. Roommate第3身單數 之後個動詞要加-s
3. sentence structure
兩個句子 用and連接應該係同一個subject
例如：
a) I have an apple. I have an orange.
再用and連接
b) I have an apple and an orange.
所以應該係
my roommate always brings friends to our room.
my roommate always has parties.
4. 個名
5. My things 用belongings好似更好 but not a big problem
6. result用drop好似有啲怪 scores, marks用drop會更好

writing睇倒grammar 句子連接 結構 用字 表達 各方面既嘢都會評核 可以話最容易最赤裸裸反映倒英文水平

另外 背咗啲罐頭好型既句子兼寫埋落去應該會高分
呢個當然係會加分 但如果考官同時見倒好多其他文法錯誤 佢都會覺得你係死背多過真係有咁既水平

小弟愚見
最基本每個禮拜都寫一篇長文同短文
加 學(背)一啲生字 專攻搞錯咗或弱既問題
係最快可以整體提升水平

樓主有講過篇嘢搞到好長同task2多分啲
CE 同AL篇文大概要600-800字?(唔記得)
不過未聽過有人 寫佢要你寫既字數攞倒A/5* (當然可能有 而唔知)
攞A既起碼寫多一半甚至一倍1000-1500字
當年考IELTS 我都寫多過佢要求既字數

當然你可以話寫得多錯得多
啲時間點分配 寫倒佢要求就得 有咩咁多要寫 宜家考英文唔係考字數 等等等等

呢個可以留俾各位作取捨

係可以寫多minimal word limit好多架 但係囉 紅字
哎 唔想考呀
未考過CE 同AL呀
不過IELTS對你地考過CE 同AL既人黎講應該易好多

其實大家點解會考?
工作需要? Exchange? 報U?
