今年不知咋了，
从1月至今，
雅思考试频繁登上微博热搜。
每场考试结束后，
烤鸭们都是含泪跪求雅思爸爸这次让我过吧！
在写作中，很多同学将流程图视作“洪水猛兽”，经常会有学生问我，”老师，考试遇到流程图该怎么办？”“流程图的范文那么少，我去哪里找文章来看看呢？”
剑5Test2Passage1的阅读相信正在准备考试的小烤鸭们一定不陌生，就是那篇讲“酚醛塑料诞生”的文章。我们先来看看在这篇文章中第五段，对于“酚醛树脂制备”描述。
文章原文如下：
“
Theoriginal patent outlined a three-stage process， inwhich phenol and formaldehyde （from wood or coal) wereinitially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle. The resultwas a resin known as Novalak， which became soluble andmalleable when heated. The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until ithardened， and then broken up and ground into powder.Other substances were then introduced： includingfillers， such as woodflour，asbestos or cotton， which increase strength and moistureresistance， catalysts (substances to speed up thereaction between two chemicals without joining to either) and hexa， a compound of ammonia and formaldehyde which suppliedthe additional formaldehyde necessary to form a thermosetting resin. This resinwas then left to cool and harden， and ground up asecond time. The resulting granular powder was raw Bakelite， ready to be made into a vast range of manufactured objects. In thelast stage， the heated Bakelite was poured into ahollow mould of the required shape and subjected to extreme heat and pressure， thereby ‘setting’its form for life.
”
首先，我们看到文章的第一句话，The original patent outlined a three-stage process， in which phenol and formaldehyde （from woodor coal) were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle.
在这句话中，除了说到酚醛树脂的制作有三个步骤之外，运用“in which”引导的定语从句结合表示时间顺序的”initially“把第一个步骤也一起说完了。句型中用到了一个表达”a three-stage process“，这样我们就积累了一个表示共有多少步的表达。
在流程图开头的写作中，我们除了写The whole process can be divided into XX stages.之外，还可以说 It is a XX-stage process. (XX填入具体的数字）。后面加入一个定语从句，表示在这个步骤中，两个物质进行反应，而initially的出现表示顺序。
第二句话，Theresult was a resin known as Novalak... 生成一种叫Novalak的树脂，这个结构我们可以用于两个物质相结合产生一个新的物质的时候。
第三句话，Theresin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened， and then broken up and ground into powder.
运用了beallowed to do sth这个结构，还是我们强调过小作文流程图在写工序图的时候需要用到被动语态，介词in后面接的是动作发生的地点。until引导的状语从句表述动作的结点，and then衔接下一个动作，体现衔接性。
第六句话，Theresulting granular powder was raw Bakelite， ready to bemade into a vast range of manufactured objects.
“theresulting XX”可以用来表示新产生出来的物质。“be ready to do”准备去做某事，后面用来衔接接下来需要做到的事情，这样可以规避掉机械使用逻辑词的情况，段落的最后是常规的被动语态运用。
有了上面阅读文章的讲解，我们一起来看看面对C8T3的小作文关于水泥的制作，我们可以怎么写呢？
下面是题目中的原图：
Theproduction of cement shows a six-stage process， inwhich limestone and clay are initially crushed. The result is powder， which is then delivered to the mixer， whereit is mixed. The mixture is subsequently allowed to be heated in the rotatingheater until it is heated well， after which the rotatedpowder is placed on a conveyor belt. The powder is sent to a grinder， where it is ground into cement. The resulting powder is cement， ready to be packed into bags in the final stage.
(标红的部分是运用到了上面提及的句型和结构）
总结
1. 在流程图写作中，经常会出现一些表示器具的名词，如上面列举的这篇文章中的mixer，heater，grinder，同学们需要改成动词使用，如mixed，heated，ground。
2. 在流程图工序图的写作中，我们经常会需要用到表示“传送”“转化”“使用”的动词，但是需要注意要使用被动语态。
传送：deliver， send， transfer，transport
转化：convertinto， transform into
使用：use， utilize
3. 在小作文流程图写作过程中，有5个需要同学们必须要掌握的句式。
句式1：and并列句。
句式2：after which引导的定语从句
句式3：where引导的定语从句
句式4：until引导的状语从句
句式5：before + 分词
其实，阅读真题中还有很多值得我们去挖掘的“宝藏”来运用到写作中，小烤鸭们一定要好好运用手上的真题，认真分析，积累表达和观点，北京新东方雅思老师祝大家争取早日屠鸭成功！
