📖 Simon小作文核心方法

Simon（ielts-simon.com）的Task 1方法：4段结构，固定模板，简单直接。

① Intro 改写题目

② Overview 概括2个主要特征

③ Body 1 描述特征1+数据

④ Body 2 描述特征2+数据

💡 关键原则：Overview段不放具体数字，只说趋势/特征。Body段才放数据。全文150词+，建议写170-190词。

第一段：Intro 改写题目

Paraphrase the question

方法

用同义替换改写题目，1-2句话。不要照抄原题。

技巧：换主语、换动词、换句型
The chart shows → The bar chart illustrates / The graph compares
changes in → trends in / differences between
from 2000 to 2020 → between 2000 and 2020 / over a 20-year period

范文示例

题目：The chart below shows changes in the types of fast food consumed by teenagers in Australia between 1970 and 2020.

The line graph illustrates changes in the types of fast food consumed by Australian teenagers over a 50-year period from 1970 to 2020.

分析：chart→line graph, shows→illustrates, teenagers in Australia→Australian teenagers, between 1970 and 2020→over a 50-year period from 1970 to 2020

第二段：Overview 概括特征

2 main features, NO numbers

方法

用2句话概括图表的2个最明显特征。不放具体数字！只说趋势。

常用句型：
Overall, it is clear that [特征1].
It is also noticeable that [特征2].

⚠️ 注意：Overview是Simon方法的灵魂。考官看这段判断你的分数段。必须有Overall/In summary开头词。

范文示例

同上题

Overall, it is clear that the consumption of pizza and hamburgers increased over the period, while the consumption of fish and chips decreased. It is also noticeable that pizza became the most popular type of fast food by the end of the period.

分析：特征1=披萨汉堡上升+鱼薯条下降。特征2=披萨最终最受欢迎。没有放任何具体数字。

第三段：Body 1 描述+数据

First feature with data

方法

选一个特征详细描述，必须放具体数字。比较起点和终点。

常用表达：
rose from X to Y / increased by Z% / peaked at / reached a high of
there was a significant rise in / a dramatic increase can be seen in

范文示例

In 1970, the consumption of pizza was approximately 5 times per year. This figure rose steadily to reach a peak of just over 80 times per year in 1995, before falling slightly to around 60 times in 2020. The consumption of hamburgers followed a similar pattern, rising from about 10 times in 1970 to a high of nearly 100 times in 1990, and then declining to approximately 85 times by the end of the period.

第四段：Body 2 描述+数据

Second feature with data

方法

描述第二个特征，同样放具体数字。和Body 1形成对比。

常用表达：
By contrast / However / On the other hand
fell from X to Y / declined steadily / dropped to a low of
there was a gradual decrease in

范文示例

By contrast, the consumption of fish and chips, which was the most popular fast food in 1970 at 100 times per year, declined steadily throughout the period. It fell to approximately 40 times per year in 1995, and ended the period at around 30 times per year, making it the least popular of the three types by 2020.

图表类型速查

Line / Bar / Pie / Table / Map / Process

6种图表类型

📈 Line graph（线图）：描述趋势变化（rise/fall/fluctuate）

📊 Bar chart（柱图）：比较数量大小（the highest/the lowest/compared to）

🥧 Pie chart（饼图）：描述占比（accounted for / made up / represented）

📋 Table（表格）：提取关键数据对比（as can be seen from / the table shows）

🗺️ Map（地图）：描述变化（was converted into / replaced / built on）

⚙️ Process（流程图）：描述步骤（firstly / next / then / finally）

💡 Simon建议：不管什么图表，4段结构不变。Intro改写题目→Overview概括→Body 1+2放数据。
