实战应用范例
对比1990-2020年英美两国碳排放量
高分段落：
While both countries showed fluctuating emission patterns, the UK experienced a more pronounced decline. In 1990, US emissions (6 billion tons) doubled the UK figure (3 billion), but by 2020 this gap had narrowed to just 1.5 times (4.5 vs 3 billion). Notably, the UK's emissions dropped below 1990 levels after 2010, whereas the US consistently remained above initial values until 2015. The most dramatic reduction occurred in the UK between 2005-2015, with a 25% decrease compared to America's modest 8% reduction during the same period.
掌握这些对比表达技巧后,考生能更精准地呈现数据关系，避免简单罗列数字，建议通过真题练习，针对不同类型的图表积累特定表达方式，最终形成自然的写作风格，雅思写作评分标准中的"任务完成度"和"连贯与衔接"两项，都能通过有效的对比分析得到显著提升。
