餅圖寫作題目范例：

WRITING TASK 1:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

* The charts below show US spending patterns from 1966 to 1996.

* Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

餅形圖與柱形圖或者是線形圖所截然不同的是它沒有了橫軸與縱軸，而以餅形的分割來表示百分比，但我們仍可以依照三步的審題分析法來進行觀察：

Step 1: 觀察共有幾張餅圖，以及它們之間的關系是什么(一般說來，雅思圖表題中極少見到單餅圖);

Step 2: 觀察每張餅圖中有哪幾個區域，以及各個區域分別代表什么;

Step 3: 觀察單個餅圖中各區域間的百分比差異，以及相同區域在各個餅圖間的百分比的比較或發展。

由于餅圖主要以比例說明和數字列舉為主，我們需要在考前準備好以下素材：

① 動詞“占”的表達：

account for, hold, make up, take up, constitute, comprise, represent

② 百分比的表達

percentage，proportion, share, 某些情況下可以用rate，如literacy rate

③ 約數表達

the majority of, most of, a considerable number of, a minority of , just over…, slightly more than…/less than…, nearly half… 等

④ 確切數字表達

分數與百分比的轉化：one third, two fifths，one tenth

常見表達：a quarter, a half

⑤ 句式

要靈活運用以上的詞匯結合一定的句子，變換表達方式。

例：亞洲人口占世界比例近50%。

— Asia accounts for almost a half of world population.

— Nearly 50% of people in the world come from Asia.

— The percentage of Asian in the world population is slightly less than a half.

— Asia has the largest percentage of population in the world( approximately 50%).

⑥ 排序段

在列舉餅圖數據時，為了防止單調枯燥，我們常常運用排序的方式進行說明：

— China takes the lead in world population.

類似的表達還有“be leading, the majority, mostly, most等”

— Next comes food, whose percentage is higher than that of clothing.

類似的表達還有“follow”

— People seem to show no interest in reference books, which lies last in the percentage.

類似表達還有“fall behind other items, the lowest proportion”.
