流程图题型特点与评分标准 雅思小作文流程图主要考察考生描述制造过程、自然现象循环或工作原理的能力,与数据图表不同,流程图更强调步骤的连贯性和逻辑关系,考官重点关注四个方面:任务完成度、连贯与衔接、词汇丰富度、语法多样性,流程衔接是否自然、步骤描述是否准确直接影响分数。
高分范文结构拆解 以"水泥生产流程"为例,优秀范文通常采用四段式结构:
-
引言段:改写题目+总述步骤数量
"The diagram illustrates how cement is produced through a series of 5 key stages, beginning with raw material collection and ending with packaging." 段**:指出核心阶段与显著特征
"Overall, the process involves both mechanical processing and chemical transformation, with limestone and clay undergoing crushing, mixing, heating before final grinding." -
细节段1:描述前半段流程
"Initially, limestone and clay are crushed into powder by a crusher. This powdered mixture then enters a rotating mixer where it blends thoroughly before being conveyed to a pre-heating chamber." -
细节段2:描述后半段流程+结果
"The heated mixture subsequently moves into a kiln where it is exposed to high temperatures, forming cement clinker. After cooling, these clinkers are ground into fine cement powder which is eventually packed in bags for distribution."
提升表达的7个关键技巧
- 步骤衔接词升级
基础词:first, then, finally
高级替换:
- 初始阶段:At the commencement of the process, Initially
- 中间阶段:Subsequently, Concurrently, Meanwhile
- 最终阶段:Ultimately, The cycle concludes when
-
被动语态灵活运用
"The clay is transported" → "The clay undergoes transportation"
"Water is added" → "Addition of water occurs" -
动词精准化表达
- 物理变化:crush, grind, filter, compress
- 化学变化:ferment, oxidize, catalyze
- 位置移动:convey, discharge, circulate
-
数据补充技巧
即使流程图未标注数据,可合理添加:
"Approximately 80% of the mixture"
"The temperature reaches around 1450°C" -
比较结构运用
"Unlike the dry method, the wet process requires..."
"Similar to the previous stage, this phase also..." -
分词结构简化句子
"After being crushed, the materials..." → "Having been crushed, the materials..." -
流程分支处理方法
使用分支描述框架:
"The process diverges into two pathways: one where... while the other..."
常见错误规避指南
- 时态混乱:流程图用一般现在时,历史流程用过去时
- 主次不分:每个步骤平均用力,应突出关键转折点
- 衔接生硬:连续使用三个以上"then"
- 词汇重复:同一动词出现超过三次
- 过度解读:添加原文未体现的因果关系
备考训练建议
- 每日分析一篇官方范文,标注衔接词与专业词汇
- 用思维导图分解常见流程:水循环、造纸术、咖啡制作等
- 限时练习后使用检查清单:
- 是否所有步骤覆盖?
- 是否有清晰的阶段划分?
- 动词使用是否多样化?
建立流程图专属词库,分类整理:
- 工业流程:conveyor belt, furnace, mold
- 自然过程:precipitation, evaporation, condensation
考场实战策略
- 前3分钟用箭头标注流程走向,划分2-3个主要阶段
- 遇到生词时根据图形推断,用上义词表述
- 字数控制技巧:复杂步骤用复合句,简单步骤用分词结构
- 最后2分钟检查:
- 是否遗漏箭头或方框内容
- 时态是否统一
- 是否有不恰当的主观评论
流程图写作本质是检验考生用英语解析复杂信息的能力,许多考生认为这是最难题型,但事实上它的套路性最强,通过系统掌握描述框架、积累专业表达、培养流程思维,完全可以在短期内显著提升,剑桥官方数据显示,针对流程图进行专项训练的考生,小作文平均分能提高0.5-1分,真正需要警惕的不是题型本身,而是备考时的轻视心态。
