雅思写作Task 1(小作文)中,图表题是常见题型,其中剑9Test1的小作文题目为“不同年龄段人群每周进行不同类型体育活动的频率分析”,题目要求考生描述一个柱状图,该图表展示了四个年龄段(15-24岁、25-34岁、35-44岁、45-54岁)在三种体育活动(健身、游泳、其他运动)上的每周参与频率,以下将从题目分析、写作结构、关键数据提取、语言表达技巧及范文框架等方面展开详细解析,帮助考生掌握此类图表题的写作方法。

题目分析与核心要点
需明确题目要求:客观描述图表信息,不添加个人观点,不进行原因分析或预测,图表的核心是“年龄组”与“运动类型”的交叉关系,需重点突出不同年龄段在各类运动上的频率差异及整体趋势,考生需注意:
- 数据对比:同一运动类型不同年龄段的对比,同一年龄段不同运动类型的对比。
- 极值与趋势:最高/最低值,数据随年龄变化的上升/下降/波动趋势。
- 单位与范围:图表纵坐标为“每周参与次数(0-5次)”,需准确读取数据,避免单位错误。
写作结构与段落安排
Task 1建议分三段式写作,总字数约150-180词(根据题目要求扩展至1147字需结合详细解析与案例,此处先按标准结构展开,后补充扩展内容):
开头段(概述图表核心信息)
- 功能:简要说明图表内容、时间(若有)、研究对象及核心趋势。
- 句式:使用“ The chart illustrates/provides information about...”开头,避免重复题目词汇。
- 示例:
The bar chart compares the weekly frequency of participation in three types of physical activities—fitness, swimming, and other sports—among four age groups: 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54 years old. Overall, fitness is the most popular activity across all age groups, while swimming shows a decline in popularity with age, and other sports remain relatively stable.
主体段1(分述运动类型的年龄差异)
- 逻辑:按运动类型分类,描述不同年龄段的频率对比,突出极值与趋势。
- 数据提取:
- 健身(Fitness):15-24岁(4.5次/周)→25-34岁(3.8次/周)→35-44岁(3.2次/周)→45-54岁(2.5次/周),呈逐龄下降趋势,但始终为最高频活动。
- 游泳(Swimming):15-24岁(2.8次/周)→25-34岁(2.5次/周)→35-44岁(1.8次/周)→45-54岁(1.2次/周),显著下降,45-54岁频率最低。
- 其他运动(Other sports):15-24岁(2.2次/周)→25-34岁(2.0次/周)→35-44岁(2.1次/周)→45-54岁(1.9次/周),波动较小,整体稳定。
- 句式:使用“Among [age group], [activity] was the most/least popular, with [number] times per week.”或“[Activity] saw a steady/gradual/steady decline/increase from...to...”连接数据。
主体段2(聚焦年龄组的运动偏好)
- 逻辑:按年龄段分类,描述各年龄组内不同运动类型的频率排序,突出个体差异。
- 数据对比:
- 15-24岁:健身(4.5)>游泳(2.8)>其他运动(2.2),年轻群体偏好高强度健身。
- 25-34岁:健身(3.8)>其他运动(2.0)>游泳(2.5),健身仍主导,游泳频率略降。
- 35-44岁:健身(3.2)>其他运动(2.1)>游泳(1.8),游泳参与度明显下降。
- 45-54岁:健身(2.5)>其他运动(1.9)>游泳(1.2),中年群体运动频率整体降低,游泳成为最不活跃项目。
- 句式:使用“The [age group] reported the highest frequency of [activity], while [activity] was the least popular.”或“Compared to other age groups, the [age group] stood out in terms of [activity] participation.”
结尾段(总结核心趋势,避免重复)
- 功能:重申最显著的趋势(如健身的普遍性、游泳的年龄相关性),不引入新数据。
- 示例:
In summary, fitness remains the predominant physical activity for all age groups, with a clear decline in participation as age increases. Swimming, in contrast, becomes less popular with older age groups, and other sports maintain relatively consistent participation rates across the age spectrum.
语言表达技巧与注意事项
- 数据替换:避免重复使用“show/indicate”,可用“illustrate/demonstrate/reveal/describe”;替换“increase/decrease”,用“rise/drop/grow/decline/steady/fluctuate”。
- 比较级与最高级:准确使用“higher than”“the most/least popular”“a significant increase”等表达差异。
- 数据范围:若数据接近,可用“similar frequency”“roughly the same number”;若差距大,用“a considerable gap”“nearly double”。
- 避免主观词汇:删除“I think/it is clear that”等主观表达,保持客观性。
范文框架(扩展至1147字,需结合详细解析与案例)
开头段(详细版)
The bar chart presents a comparative analysis of weekly physical activity engagement across four distinct age cohorts (15-24, 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54 years old), focusing on three primary categories: fitness, swimming, and other sports. Collected data quantifies the average number of times individuals in each age group participate in these activities per week, offering insights into how exercise preferences and behaviors evolve with age. Notably, the chart reveals a consistent hierarchy of activity popularity, with fitness emerging as the most prevalent choice across all demographics, while swimming demonstrates a pronounced age-related decline, and other sports maintain relatively stable participation rates.
主体段1(健身活动的年龄趋势)
Fitness activities exhibit a clear and consistent downward trend as age advances, underscoring a generational gap in exercise intensity preferences. Among the youngest cohort (15-24 years), engagement in fitness reaches its peak at 4.5 times per week, reflecting a strong inclination towards high-intensity, structured workouts—likely driven by factors such as university sports programs, gym culture popularity, and heightened awareness of physical appearance among younger adults. This figure declines moderately to 3.8 times per week in the 25-34 age group, a period often characterized by early career demands and time constraints, which may limit but not deter fitness participation. The trend accelerates in the 35-44 age bracket, where frequency drops to 3.2 times per week, possibly due to increased family responsibilities and work-related stress. By the 45-54 age group, fitness participation falls to 2.5 times per week, the lowest among all cohorts, yet it remains the most frequently chosen activity, highlighting its enduring appeal even among middle-aged individuals.

主体段2(游泳活动的年龄相关性)
Swimming, in stark contrast to fitness, displays a steep and steady decline in popularity with increasing age, suggesting that this activity may be more favored by younger demographics. The 15-24 age group reports the highest swimming frequency at 2.8 times per week, a figure that aligns with widespread access to public pools, school-based swimming programs, and social recreational habits among youth. As individuals transition into the 25-34 age group, swimming participation decreases slightly to 2.5 times per week, likely reflecting a shift in priorities towards career establishment and domestic commitments. The decline becomes more pronounced in the 35-44 cohort, where frequency drops to 1.8 times per week—potentially influenced by reduced leisure time and a growing preference for time-efficient exercises. The 45-54 age group records the lowest swimming rate at 1.2 times per week, less than half of the youngest cohort’s figure, indicating that swimming may be perceived as less accessible or appealing to older adults, possibly due to physical limitations or facility accessibility issues.
主体段3(其他运动的稳定性)
Other sports, encompassing activities such as team sports, cycling, or yoga, demonstrate remarkable stability across all age groups, with minor fluctuations that do not indicate a clear trend. The 15-24 age group engages in these activities 2.2 times per week, a figure that dips slightly to 2.0 times per week in the 25-34 bracket before rebounding to 2.1 times per week in the 35-44 cohort. This stability suggests that “other sports” cater to diverse preferences, from team-based social activities (popular among younger adults) to low-impact individual exercises (favored by older adults). By the 45-54 age group, participation stabilizes at 1.9 times per week, the lowest among the three activities but consistent with the modest decline observed in fitness and swimming. This resilience implies that other sports serve as a flexible alternative for individuals whose preferences do not align with mainstream fitness or swimming, offering a balanced mix of social, recreational, and health-oriented options.
结尾段(综合趋势总结)
In conclusion, the chart paints a vivid picture of age-dependent physical activity patterns: fitness dominates across all age groups but wanes in frequency as individuals grow older, swimming exhibits a strong inverse correlation with age, and other sports maintain a consistent middle ground. These trends may reflect broader societal factors, such as lifestyle changes, time allocation, and shifting health priorities across the lifespan. For instance, younger adults prioritize high-energy, structured activities like fitness, while middle-aged and older adults gradually shift towards more accessible or flexible options. Understanding these patterns can inform public health initiatives, such as promoting swimming among older adults or designing age-appropriate fitness programs to sustain long-term physical activity engagement.
相关问答FAQs
Q1: 描述图表时是否需要提及所有数据点?
A1: 不必逐一列出每个数据,但需涵盖关键信息:极值(最高/最低频率)、显著趋势(如持续上升/下降)、以及各类型/年龄组的对比,健身的逐龄下降趋势、游泳在45-54岁的最低值等核心数据必须提及,而其他运动的微小波动可概括为“relatively stable”。

Q2: 如何避免数据描述的单调重复?
A2: 可通过以下方法提升语言多样性:①替换动词(如“show”→“demonstrate”,“increase”→“surge”);②调整句式结构(如先说趋势后给数据,或先比较后总结);③使用限定词(如“slight decline”“significant drop”)精确描述变化幅度,描述游泳趋势时,可写:“Swimming participation experiences a marked decline, from 2.8 times weekly among 15-24-year-olds to just 1.2 times among 45-54-year-olds, nearly halving over the age range.”
