雅思写作Task 1中的动态图表(Dynamic Charts)是常见题型,主要展示数据随时间变化的趋势,这类题目通常涉及线图(Line Graph)、柱状图(Bar Chart)或表格(Table),要求考生准确描述趋势、比较数据并提炼关键信息,以下通过典型例题分析动态小作文的写作策略,帮助考生掌握高分技巧。
动态图表的核心特征
动态图表的核心是“变化”,数据在特定时间段内呈现上升、下降、波动或稳定趋势,常见时间单位包括年(Year)、月(Month)或季度(Quarter)。
例题:The graph below shows the changes in the population of three European countries (Germany, France, and Italy) between 1950 and 2020.
要求考生:
- 描述总体趋势(如人口增长或下降);
- 对比不同对象的变化(如哪国增长最快);
- 突出关键数据点(如峰值或转折年份)。

概述段(Overview)
概括图表最显著的特征,无需具体数据。
Overall, all three countries experienced population growth, though at varying rates. Italy showed the most dramatic increase, while Germany’s growth was relatively modest.
细节段(Details)
