相信很多參加過雅思考試的學員都會認爲小作文要比大作文要難寫，認爲小作文很難寫得出彩。根據多年的教學經驗，主要原因是他們的句型都過於單一。其實要想讓小作文寫得好，也並非就是一件很難的事情。今天小編就來教大家一個幫助大家提高折線圖表達的技巧。
在介紹技巧之前，請大家對比一下關於描述電視機觀衆人數變化的一個折線圖5.5分的.考生例文和6.5分高分範文的節選片段。
5.5分考生例文：
at 6 a.m., the proportion of TV viewers was much lower than that of radio listeners, with only 2%. After that, it increased with fluctuation and overtook that of radio listeners at 12.40, with 15%. Then it continued to ascend until it reached a peak at 45% at 8 p.m., when it started to drop, before it levelled off between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
6.5分高分範文：
At 6 a.m., the percentage of TV viewers was only 2%. during the next 8 hours, it showed a gradual upward trend and outnumbered the figure of radio listeners. Then, it rose continuously and peaked at 45% at 8p.m.. After there was a considerable decline until 2 a.m. in the next morning, it levelled off at 2% in the last few hours.
對比了兩篇文章之後，我們很容易發現考生例文中，整個文章句型基本上都是主謂賓句型，儘管這位學員注意到了詞彙的多樣性。而高分范文同時具備了句型和詞彙的多樣性。因此這說明了，如果想獲得6分或者以上的寫作分數，要注意詞彙和句型的豐富性。
那麼我們一共有哪些不同的句型呢？小編一共羅列了以下五種不同的句型，包括： number of TV viewers rose/increased/ascended/grew/ jumped/ climbed/ soared/ shot up/ showed upward trend number of TV viewers showed an upward trennd e was a rise/increase/growth in the figure of TV viewers ...4.a rise was seen/showed in the number of TV viewers from…to… period between 6 and 9 witnessed/experienced/saw a rise in the figure of TV viewers between… and…
我相信這五種句型都是大家所熟知的，而且大家應該都能夠正確地組織成完整的句子。所以如果能夠加以意識性地運用到我們的折線圖的創作中去，就會讓整個文章看起來豐富了很多，再結合一下同義詞的替換使用，相信一定會給大家的寫作分數加分不少。
當然，要想寫作拿高分，要注意檢查自己文章以確保整篇文章中不存在任何語法錯誤。一旦存在這些失誤，會給考官不好的印象，分數自然就上不去。
