考生在描述小作文中题目所给的信息时，务必含括图表细节并对重点加以评述，如此考官便能清楚明白考生表述了哪些是极其重要的特点（critically important features）。写作内容若不够详细，那就如同“隔靴搔痒”，让人读起来既不痛快更白费力气。细节亦须加以比较（compare and contrast）并说出时间点（time period），图表所示之趋势（trends）也须着墨，读者会更易明了您的思路及欲表达之意。以下提供两项考生可应用于小作文中的写作技巧:

1、如何完整描述信息

信息的完整性取决于以下三点:
a.陈述（statement）: Computer sales increased dramatically.
b.数据资料（data）: between 2000 and 2005 / from two to three million
c.评论（comment）: a rise of 50% / a significant growth

组句：Between 2000 and 2005, computer sales increased dramatically, from two to three million. This was a rise of 50%, quite a significant growth.
句中文字顺序并无固定模式，因此本句也可写成如下:
Sales of computers showed a significant growth, rising from two to three million between 2000 and 2005 – an increase of 50%.
另举一例:
a.The number of candidates taking IELTS increased again
b.in 2010 from 355,000 to well over 475,000
c.a rise of 34%
组句：The number of candidates taking IELTS increased again in 2010 from 355,000 to well over 475,000–a rise of 34%.
考生须引用数据资料（data）作为例子（examples）以支持您的论点（support your description），再下个评论（comment）以示您了解所描述的重点为何。遵从以下步骤即可轻松写出高分句子：
首先，找出图表趋势走向（identify the trend）：Computer production increased；并且，含括证据（include evidence）：from 1000 to 1250 units；再者，写出时间（include the period）：for the first six months of 2012；最后，下评论（include comment）：This is a growth of 25%.

2.运用多样词汇

词汇的多样性能让文章更生动活泼。在描述趋势及重点时，考生可用”形容词+名词”的形式或”动词+副词”的写法:
a.形容词+名词:
From 2000 until 2005, there was a gradual increase in computer sales in Canada, from two to three million–a growth of 50%.
b.动词+副词:
From 2000 until 2005, computer sales in Canada increased gradually from two to three million–a growth of 50%.
以上方法希望对各位考生有帮助!
