3.缺乏对比

小作文的题干对其写作有很明确的要求，"Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant". （在相关的地方作比较）所以，考生在对重要特点进行描述的同时，切勿忘记作比较。

例如：《剑7》Test 1

考生文章主体段第一段：

Food, drinks and tobacco were in the most important position on consumer spending in all of the five countries, and in a different percentage. In Ireland and Turkey, they were near 30%, while in the other three countries they are under 20%.

考官评语：

There is no clear reference to what the percentage represent and key comparisons need more expansion.（关键的比较需要更多的阐述）
