下面是若水给大家写的高分范文：
The bar graph illustrates the number of international students from four countries (China, Japan, America and Russia) that a European university admitted in a five year period from 2004 to 2008.
Generally speaking, the international students coming from China and America constitute a significant majority of the student populace while Russia sends the lowest number of international applicants to the university in Europe with its students figure accounting for less than 10%. The total number of students each year of the four countries reflects a slight undulatory upward trend to 55,000 from around 45,000 at the bottom during the first four years (2004 to 2007).
During the five year time span (2004 to 2008), both the number of international students from China and Russia dropped to some extent. China experienced a steady decline in the number of students studying in the European university from 2004 to 2006 from 27,000 to 17,000 and remained constant in the following year (2007) then a slight fall in 2008 to 15,000. While Russia witnessed a significant eight time rise in the first four years (2004 to 2007) from 1000 to 8000 yet a sharp fall to 4000 in 2008.
Nevertheless, the number of Japanese international students continuously increased and doubled to 10,000 from 5000 in the five year period. In contrast, the figure of American overseas candidates decreased noticeably from 20,000 to 15,000 in the first two years (2004 to 2005), then went up slightly from 15,000 to 17,500 in the following two years (2005 to 2006). The figure then plummeted a good proportion from 17,500 to the bottom at 10000 from 2006 to 2007 until peaked at 27,500 in 2008.
写作点评：
这篇小作文第一段我对题目做了同义改写，第二段我主要报告了我从图表中发现的两大主要特征即最大留学生来源地和5年年度四国留学生总人数走势。第三段主体段我报告了2004至2008年5年期间留学生人数下降的中国和俄国的情况。第四段我主要报告的是留学生人数稳定上升的日本和留学生人数波动较大的美国的情况。
我描述和报告本柱状图和对图表中出现的各个项目的分组的思路是数量的极值、总体趋势变化、上升、下降、持平和波动的情况。建议大家把概述总体特征的段落写在第二位，因为这一段可以对全文做一个统领，同时对于拿到一个理想的雅思小作文写作分数非常重要。如果放在末尾因为时间关系完成不了就会非常遗憾。
好了，今天的雅思小作文写作分享到此结束。多谢浏览和关注，我们下一期讲坛再会。
