What to confirm before writing
Mark the overall rise or fall, highest and lowest points, turning points, crossovers, and scale gaps, then choose two headline trends.
Task 1 chart judgement
Line graphs start by diagnosing the main trends, then deciding which figures deserve space.
Turn the chart type into an overview, data selection, comparisons, and sentence control first. The goal is not memorising one sample; it is knowing what this chart needs most.
Decide which relationship the chart requires first, then choose the figures and language that support the overview.
Common mistake
Reporting every year in order, or writing only that changes occurred in the overview, weakens both the summary and data selection.
Diagnostic evidence
Check whether the overview states the main direction, largest turning point, crossover, or scale; omitting the chart’s clearest feature is the first rewrite signal.
How to revise the next version
Rewrite the overview without detailed figures, then keep only data that proves those two headline trends in the body.
- Whether headline trends come before yearly figures
- Whether a turning point or crossover is missing
- Whether body figures support the overview
Run four checks before writing the overview
First check direction: which lines rise, fall, or remain stable overall. Second, turning points: which line changes direction. Third, crossovers: when rankings switch. Fourth, scale: whether the highest and lowest are far apart. The overview need not include all four; choose the two that best summarise the chart. Missing the clearest crossover or reversal usually means the summary is still incomplete.
- Direction: overall rise, fall, fluctuation, or stability
- Structure: turning points and crossovers
- Scale: highs, lows, and major gaps
Use body figures only to prove the overview
If the overview says A rose steadily and overtook B, the body needs A’s start, crossover, and end plus the matching B values; every intervening year is unnecessary. Write the overview judgement first, then choose two or three pieces of evidence for each claim. This produces clearer groups than copying figures from left to right.

Writing guides
按正在写的题目查找雅思写作指南：小作文图型、overview 与数据取舍，大作文题型、立场与主体段展开，以及批改后的同题重写步骤。每篇指南都要求你回到自己的作文验证一个具体改动。
Chinese Task 1 overview
雅思小作文 overview 不是报最高最低。先概括全图趋势、最大差异和异常点，再决定哪些数字进主体段；适合 6.0–7.0 同学检查是否把总览写成了细节清单。
Chinese Task 1 template
雅思小作文模板只能帮你表达，不能替你选择 overview、关键数据和比较关系。如果去掉数字后文章仍然成立，说明它没有真正描述这张图。先圈出最高、最低、最大变化、共同趋势和异常点。
Task 1 overview template
雅思小作文 Overview 模板只能帮助组织表达，不能替代对图表整体特征的判断。先找最高与最低、主要趋势、最大差异、交叉点或异常值，再选择能承载这些信息的句型。写完后删除不来自图表的空话，并检查总览是否覆盖全图、避免堆具体数字、能统领后续分组；最后用另一张图重写一次，验证方法可以迁移而不是只会套句。
Task 1 comparison sentences
雅思小作文比较句要把数据按相似、差异、极值、排名或变化幅度成组表达，而不是逐个数字写成清单。先确定比较对象与尺度，再选择 while、whereas、compared with 或倍数结构，并核对数字关系。结合 overview 检查每组比较为何重要，把两个孤立数据句合并成有信息量的句子，再用新图表验证分组方法。
Chinese line graph
雅思小作文线图写作要先识别总体上升或下降、交叉点、峰值、波动、平台期和最大变化段，再决定 overview 与主体段分组，而不是按年份逐个报数。标出起点、终点和变化幅度，用有限关键数据比较不同线条的速度与位置；写完后检查趋势词和比较句是否准确，把最像流水账的一段改成可验证的重写目标，并对照图表复查。
Line graph
IELTS Task 1 line graph 折线图写作要优先识别总体上升或下降、波动、峰值、交叉点和最终差距，逐年数字只挑关键的写。学习把主要趋势放进 overview，再按阶段或可比较对象组织两段细节，用关键数据证明关系。提交报告后，检查趋势选择、段落分组、比较句和数据准确性，确定下一版最该重写的部分。
Line graph vocabulary
IELTS Task 1 line graph vocabulary 要先表达上升、下降、峰值、波动和幅度，而不是随机替换同义词。同一组数据写三句：趋势、幅度、与另一条线比较。
Task 1 data selection
IELTS Academic Task 1 数据选择决定报告是否真正回应图表。学习如何从折线图、柱状图、表格或饼图中识别主趋势、极值、交叉点和关键分组，先写有信息量的 overview，再用有限数据支持比较。结合常见漏选与逐点复述案例，检查自己的报告最该重写总览句、数据句还是段落分组，并验证是否改善。
Chinese map task
雅思小作文地图题要先识别新增、拆除、替换、搬迁、扩建和功能变化，再按区域、时期或用途组织信息，而不是沿方位逐点罗列。学习在 overview 概括整体规划方向，用准确位置词和比较句支持主要变化。提交自己的地图报告后，检查总览、分组与细节取舍中的主卡分点，并决定下一版先重写哪一段，再验证明显改善效果。
How to write map question
雅思小作文地图题要先看区域、方向、替换和新增设施，再概括主要变化。先把问题拆成一个卡分点、一条诊断证据和一个下一版重写目标。问题越小，重写越容易真正聚焦。
Map sample
雅思小作文地图题范文先识别 before/after 状态和最大的空间变化，在 overview 概括整体改造，再按区域或变化类型分组，不要随机罗列设施。
Start practising
Turn the chart type into scoreable report actions first.
After submitting a Task 1 report, inspect the overview, key data, comparisons, and sentence accuracy first, then decide whether to rewrite the overview, data sentences, or linking.
