在雅思寫作中，我們經(jīng)常要表達“A是B的n倍。”也就是說，我們要學(xué)會比較數(shù)據(jù)，今天，小編就教大家如何正確運用形容詞比較級和百分比對比、描述數(shù)據(jù)。同時，還為大家總結(jié)了經(jīng)常容易混淆的時間介詞。

雅思寫作如何正確表達倍數(shù)與百分比

一、用“平級”或“比較級”表達倍數(shù)

表達倍數(shù)時，既可以用“平級”，也可以用“比較級”。

如：A樓的高度是B樓的三倍(A樓比B樓高兩倍)。

Building A is three times as tall as Building B. (平級)

Building A is three times taller than Building B. (比較級)

在倍數(shù)比較的句子中，常見的錯誤之一，是形容詞與其所修飾的名詞不搭配。

例如：

The population of China is five times as big as that of Pakistan. √

The population of China is five times as many as that of Pakistan. ×

在漢語里，可以用“多”和“少”來形容人口，于是很多人會用as many as。而句中的主語是population, 只可以用large/big/small來形容。

二、百分數(shù)的表達percent or percentage?

◆Percent : it is used to express proportions out of a hundred. Percent is always used with a number.

2 percent = 2%

percent = per centum

數(shù)詞+percent+of+sth：后面謂語的單復(fù)數(shù)以percent后面跟接的主語(sth)為主

例如:

20 percent of the apples are eaten. (這里是復(fù)數(shù)的可數(shù)名詞，所以用復(fù)數(shù)。)

20 percent of the water is drunk.(這里是不可數(shù)名詞，所以用單數(shù)。)

◆Percentage: portion or amount of something

The percentage of +sth+ is：注意這里不管后面跟的是什么詞,都用第三人稱單數(shù)

The percentage of the students is 46.

The percentage of the water is 46.

That was a high percentage.

常見錯誤：

Percent is only used after a number. If you are referring more generally to part of an amount, use percentage.

Percent僅用在數(shù)字之后，如果更籠統(tǒng)表示數(shù)量中的一部分，可用percentage:

A high percentage (不說percent) of the population was illiterate.

絕大部分人口是文盲。

三、時間介詞at on in

◆at用在時間點前：

The lecture is at 7.00.

◆on用在星期和日期前：

The lecture is on Thursday.

The lecture is on 27 October.

◆in用在時間段，月份，年和季節(jié)前：

The lecture is in the morning.

The lecture is in June.

The lecture is in 2004.

The lecture is in winter.

我們把這幾個時間介詞都放在一句話中：

The lecture is at 7.00, in the morning, on Thursday, on 27 October, in 2004.
