雅思小作文中免不了要涉及到描述數字或數量，這絕不單單只是把數字抄下來，以下是國外網站對於一些基本及高端詞彙的總結。雖然那些基本詞彙對烤鴨們來說簡直是小菜一碟，但是小錯也會丟大分，下面就一起來看看native speaker如何介紹這些有用詞彙的!
A little grammar for you
The one thing you need to know is that little words like these fall into 3 categories:
1. words that are only used with countable nouns
2. words that are only used with uncountable nouns
3. words that can be used with both
The basic options
Some common mistakes
There are two common mistakes to look out for:
“less” used with countable nouns eg Less Fewer women chose to go the cinema than men.
“amount of” used with countable nouns eg A large amount number of men do not do as much housework as women.
The MOST/MOST OF problem
This is a mistake that all teachers will recognise. It is super common. I have given you examples here with “most” but the same grammar applies for all the words above.
Most men watch less television than women do. CORRECT
Most of the men in the survey watched less television than women did. CORRECT
Most of men in the survey watched less television than women did. INCORRECT
The most of men less television than women do. INCORRECT
The way to avoid most mistakes is to note that if you use “of” you also need to use “the”
How to describe differences accurately
40 is double 20, but what about 42 and 20? Or 30 and 88?
These are the sort of “complex figures” you may need to describe in the exam and the examiner is looking for an accurate description of just this type of numbers. What you need to do is compare the numbers. Here is some helpful language for you: it is important that you have some variations here
So 40 is exactly double 20
42 is approximately double 20
30 is just over a third of 88
More language of numbers
To do this well, you need some mathematical language too:
