雅思天气小作文是雅思学术类写作Task 1中常见的图表题型,主要考察考生对天气、气候相关数据的描述、分析和比较能力,这类题目通常以折线图、柱状图、饼图、表格或组合图的形式出现,要求考生在20分钟内完成至少150字的写作任务,以下从题型特点、结构框架、常用词汇、高分技巧及真题示例等方面进行全面解析,帮助考生高效备考。

题型特点与核心要求
雅思天气小作文的核心在于“客观描述数据+合理分析比较”,图表内容可能涉及某地不同月份的气温变化、降水量统计、风速对比、不同天气类型的占比等,考生需注意以下要求:
- 客观性:基于图表数据写作,不添加个人主观观点或未提及的信息。
- 准确性:数据描述需精确(如“最高气温达25℃”而非“气温较高”),单位、时间等细节不可遗漏。
- 逻辑性:按时间顺序、数据大小或类别分组进行描述,段落结构清晰。
- 多样性:避免重复使用简单句式,需运用复合句、数据对比词汇(如“while”“whereas”)及同义替换(如“rise”替换“increase”)。
结构框架:四段式写作法
开头段:图表概述(约30词)
功能:简要说明图表类型、反映的核心信息及时间/范围。
句式:
- The line graph illustrates the changes in [数据类型] in [地点] from [时间1] to [时间2].
- The table compares the average [数据类型] of [地点A] and [地点B] in [时间段].
示例:
The line graph shows the average monthly temperature and precipitation in London throughout 2025.
主体段一:核心数据描述(约60词)
功能:选取图表中最显著的数据(如最高/最低值、峰值、波动较大的部分)进行重点描述。
方法:按时间顺序或数据大小排序,用“数据+趋势”的结构呈现。
示例:
As can be seen from the graph, January was the coldest month, with the temperature dropping to 2°C, while July recorded the highest temperature at 23°C. Precipitation peaked in October, reaching 80 mm, whereas it was lowest in April, only 30 mm.
主体段二:数据对比与分析(约70词)
功能:比较不同数据间的差异、关联或趋势,体现分析能力。
方法:使用对比词汇(while, whereas, in contrast)、倍数关系(twice as much as)及占比(accounted for 30% of)。
示例:
In terms of seasonal variation, summer months (June-August) experienced consistently high temperatures, ranging from 20°C to 23°C, with moderate precipitation around 50 mm. In contrast, winter months (December-February) were characterized by low temperatures (2°C-6°C) and higher precipitation, exceeding 60 mm in December and January.
结尾段:总结主要趋势(约40词)
功能:概括图表整体规律,无需重复具体数据。
句式:
- Overall, [地点] witnessed a clear trend of [趋势1] and [趋势2].
- In summary, the data suggests that [核心结论].
示例:
Overall, London’s climate in 2025 showed a distinct pattern of warm summers and cold, wet winters, with temperature and precipitation showing opposite trends throughout the year.
高频词汇与表达
描述趋势
- 上升:increase, rise, grow, surge, climb
- 下降:decrease, drop, fall, decline, reduce
- 波动:fluctuate, vary, oscillate
- 稳定:remain stable/constant, level off

时间与频率
- 逐月:monthly, on a monthly basis
- 季节性:seasonal, seasonally
- 周期性:periodic, periodically
高分技巧与注意事项
-
数据分组:若数据较多,按时间(季节、月份)、类别(不同城市、天气类型)分组描述,避免罗列数据。
- 示例:将12个月的气温分为“春(3-5月)夏(6-8月)秋(9-11月)冬(12-2月)”四组,每组提炼平均温度和趋势。
-
避免语法错误:
- 时态统一:描述过去数据用一般过去时,预测趋势用一般将来时或现在时。
- 数据单位:确保单位(°C, mm, %)与图表一致,避免遗漏。
-
灵活运用句式:
- 使用分词结构简化句子(如“Increasing from 10°C to 20°C, the temperature in April…”)。
- 采用“With+名词+分词”结构(如“With precipitation decreasing steadily, July became the driest month”)。
-
检查逻辑连贯:通过连接词(however, therefore, additionally)衔接段落,确保行文流畅。
真题示例与范文
The line graph below shows the average daily temperature and hours of sunshine in Miami, USA, from January to December.
范文:
The line graph illustrates the changes in average daily temperature and hours of sunshine in Miami throughout a year. Overall, both temperature and sunshine hours exhibited seasonal patterns, with peaks in summer and troughs in winter.
In terms of temperature, it started at around 20°C in January, gradually increasing to a peak of 28°C in July and August before declining to 22°C by December. Sunshine hours followed a similar trend, beginning at 7 hours in January, rising steadily to 11 hours in June and July, and then decreasing to 8 hours in December.
A closer comparison reveals that temperature and sunshine hours were closely correlated. Summer months (June-August) not only had the highest temperatures (26-28°C) but also the longest sunshine duration (10-11 hours). In contrast, winter months (December-February) recorded the lowest temperatures (18-22°C) and shortest sunshine hours (7-8 hours). For instance, January had both the minimum temperature (20°C) and the least sunshine (7 hours), while July shared the maximum temperature (28°C) with the highest sunshine (11 hours).
In summary, Miami’s climate is characterized by hot, sunny summers and mild, less sunny winters, with temperature and sunshine hours showing consistent seasonal variations.
相关问答FAQs
Q1: 雅思天气小作文中,数据较多时如何避免内容冗长?
A1: 可采用“数据分组+提炼趋势”的方法,若图表显示12个月的降水量,可按春、夏、秋、冬四季分组,计算每季平均降水量并描述整体趋势(如“夏季降水量最高,平均达120mm,而冬季仅为60mm”),而非逐月罗列数据,优先描述极值(最高/最低)、显著变化(大幅上升/下降)及异常点(如某月突增),忽略次要波动数据。
Q2: 天气小作文中如何正确使用“占比”相关词汇?
A2: 常用“account for”“constitute”“make up”表达占比,需注意搭配数据准确性。“Rainy days accounted for 30% of the total days in July”表示“7月雨天占总天数的30%”,若占比小于1%,可用“a small percentage of…”(如“Snow constituted less than 1% of the total precipitation”),避免模糊表达(如“most”“many”),尽量用具体数据支撑,如“60% of the days had over 8 hours of sunshine”。
