剑桥雅思8 test 1小作文考官范文解析 农业土地退化
这篇雅思小作文为饼状图和表格的混合。这种类型的题目分段比较简单，一般都是饼状图一段，表格一段。同时在第二段的开头要有一句承上启下的句子，表明两者的联系。
饼状图部分虽然有各种各样花哨的图案，但数据并不复杂。下面的表格数据偏多，各项之间的差别也很大，大家需要在不忽略每一项的基础上选取重点，进行对比，难度较大。下面让我们看看考官是如何做的。

The pie chart shows that there are four main causes of farmland becoming degraded in the world today. Globally, 65% of degradation is caused by too much animal grazing and tree clearance, constituting 35% and 30% respectively. A further 28% of global degradation is due to over-cultivation of crops. Other causes account for only 7% collectively.
These causes affected different regions differently in the 1990s, with Europe having as much as 9. 8% of degradation due to deforestation, while the impact of this on Oceania and North America was minimal, with only 1. 7% and 0. 2% of land affected respectively. Europe, with the highest overall percentage of land degraded (23%), also suffered from over-cultivation (7. 7%) and over-grazing (5. 5%). This article is from Laokaoya website. In contrast, Oceania had 13% of degraded farmland and this was mainly due to over-grazing (11. 3%). North America had a lower proportion of degraded land at only 5%, and the main causes of this were over-cultivation (3. 3%) and, to a lesser extent, over-grazing (1. 5%).
Overall, it is clear that Europe suffered more from farmland degradation than the other regions, and the main causes there were deforestation and over-cultivation.

Task achievement
1. 数据选取方面。文章涉及到了表格中的所有数据，无一遗漏。尤其是表格中的那么多数据都有提到，非常厉害。
2. 文章第一段的开头和最后一段分别对饼状图和表格进行了总结。前者强调整体，后者强调表格中最突出的一项。可见，在我们自己写作过程中，如果图表整体趋势不好总结，可以描述其中最有特点的一项。
总结是小作文中非常非常重要的一部分。如果缺失的话，在Task achievement这一项的分数就会直接降到5分。
3. 文章对数据进行了合理的对比。第一段按照从大到小的顺序进行排列，而且一开始还对animal grazing和tree clearance进行了合并。第二段从deforestation说起，比较它对Europe和Oceania, North America的影响。随后对表格进行横向描述，说明不同地区受不同因素的影响。
突显对比的词汇：a further, only, minimal, highest, in contrast, lower, to a lesser extent
Coherence and Cohesion
1. 文章逻辑结构合理。题目转述被分散到了两个主题段的开头。第一段重点描述饼状图，第二段重点描述表格，最后一段进行总结概括。
2. 文章主要使用各种各样的词汇短语来进行逻辑连接，不同于我们常见的and, but, however。比如第一段中的globally, 随后的a further 28%。第二段的while, also
Lexical Resource
文章用词丰富。尤其是表述原因的词汇几乎没有重复的地方，具体词汇短语总结请参考下方“高分词汇短语”部分。
Grammatical Range
