The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours) in France and Germany between 1980 and 2010.
范文:
The line graph compares how much electricity was generated in two European nations over three decades, measured in terawatt hours.
Overall, France’s electricity output grew steadily despite minor fluctuations, overtaking Germany in the final decade. By contrast, Germany’s production remained relatively stable with a slight downward trend after 1990.
In 1980, Germany produced significantly more electricity at 120 terawatt hours, nearly double France’s 65 terawatt hours. Over the next 15 years, both countries saw growth, though Germany’s increase was more erratic with a sharp drop in 1985. By 1995, the gap had narrowed to just 20 terawatt hours.
From 1995 onwards, France’s production rose consistently, peaking at 150 terawatt hours in 2010. Meanwhile, Germany’s output declined gradually to 110 terawatt hours by 2005 before recovering slightly to 120 terawatt hours at the end of the period. Notably, France surpassed Germany around 2002, establishing a clear lead in the latter years.
考官评析:
- Task Achievement:清晰呈现所有关键数据,包含对比与转折
- Coherence:分段合理,使用while, meanwhile等连接词
- Lexical Resource:避免重复(e.g. 用overtake/surpass替换exceed)
- Grammar:混合使用简单句与复杂句(e.g. Despite..., ...)
常见错误规避
- 数据误读:将“output”误解为“consumption”,务必核对坐标轴标签
- 时态混乱:过去数据用一般过去时(produced),预测用将来时(is projected to)
- 过度描述:非关键波动(如<5%的变化)可忽略,优先分析显著特征
- 主观臆断:避免解释原因(e.g. “由于政策改革”),仅陈述可见数据
备考建议
- 限时训练:用官方真题练习,15分钟完成写作,5分钟检查语法与数据准确性
- 词汇分类:建立个人词库(如上升/下降/稳定三类,每类储备5个替换词)
- 范文拆解:分析剑桥雅思范文的段落分配与数据选取逻辑
- 工具辅助:Grammarly检查语法,IELTS-Bro纠正常见中式英语表达
