很多考生非常害怕看到雅思作文中的流程图题型，一旦作文考到流程图就不能很好的发挥出应有的水平。但事实上只要把握流程图写作的要领，流程图写作是很容易攻破的。
1. 找到流程图的过程，起点，终点。
2. 找到图上标出的已知动作，如果出现生词，尽量猜测。无词，用自己的语言。
3. 按照步骤，分段描述，千万不能省略任何一步。
4. 切记!加入流畅合理的表示顺序的关联词。
5. 句型以主动为主，搭配被动，以及主语从句。（例如：It can be seen from the graph that...）
6. 时态要使用一般现在时。
例文分析：
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The illustrations below show how chocolate is produced.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features.
Writeat least 150 words.
The diagram shows the stages in the process of making chocolate.【所有的小作文第一句话都要用一般现在时。流程图必备三个词：process整个过程；stage阶段；step步骤】
Chocolatecomes from the cacao tree, which is grown in parts of South America, Africa andIndonesia.【开头不能一上来就直接介绍cacao tree，而是通过主题词chocolate引出，否则显得太唐突】
【流程图特点之一：介绍过程要使用一般现在时】
【流程图特点之二：大量使用定语从句，将有关联的两句话连接。】
【流程图特点之三：大量使用被动语态】Thetree produces large red pods which contain white cocoa beans.
【流程图特点之四：使用一些表示顺序的连接词】Firstly, when the pods are ripe, they are harvested, the beans areremoved and they are fermented for several days in large wooden boxes.【三个句子的并列：“句子A, 句子Band 句子C”。】
Duringthe fermenting process, the beans turn brown.
【流程图特点之五：要适当地添加个别图中没有交代但能从图片中直接读出来的一些内容，否则可能达不到字数要求。但是一定要把握尺度，千万不要加上自己的主观观点，否则会扣分】
Next,the brown beans are spread in the sun to dry. They are then put in large sacksand transported by train or lorry. After this, the beans are taken to achocolate factory where they are roasted in an oven at temperatures of between250 and 350 degree Celsius.
Afterbeing roasted, the beans are crushed and the outer shell is removed. This partis not needed for making chocolate. Finally, the inner part of the bean ispressed and liquid chocolate is produced.
【流程图特点之六：一般不需要写总结】
以上就是雅思作文流程图写作的一些技巧，最后再总结一下流程图的特点：①务必现在时；②多用定语从句；③多用被动语态；④巧用顺序词；⑤适当添加；⑥无需总结;相信考生们在了解之后对症下药一定能够突破雅思写作流程图这道门槛的。
