【标准版点评】：

这次四级作文出了图表题，可能让大家有些意外，但是四六级考察图表作文已经并不是第一次，早在2002年的时候就已经出现过，是图表+提纲的形式，图表反应的是大学生使用计算机的情况。

由于备考时大家只是关注近几年的题型，可能没有关注到以往考察过图表作文。

我们在备考作文的时候，一般会从以下几个方面着手准备，如何描述现象、如何分析原因、如何分析影响、如何给出解决措施、如何进行观点论战等。

其实，图表作文也是从这几个方面展开，只是将第一段的描述现象改为描述图表即可。

可见，无论是考察哪种作文题，我们都可以将它转化为我们熟悉的提纲式。

这次作文题目有两个版本。

题目都是educationalpays（教育回报），一个版本的图表显示的是教育水平越高，收入越高，另一个版本的图表显示的是教育水平越高，失业率越低。

虽然图表描述的具体内容不同，但主题是一致的：

教育是值得投资的。

写作思路也是一致的。

两篇范文都是采取三段式的描述方法。

第一段：

描述图表。

先一句话引出图表总体内容theabovebarchartclearlyshowsus…然后具体描述现象weseethat…。

最后用forinstance引出一些具体数据来例证现象。

第二段：

分析原因。

先写一个引出原因的句子，然后具体列举一到两个原因即可。

由于字数限制，原因不必列太多。

第三段：

给出建议。

先是总结这个现象thisphenomenontellsusthateducationisaworthyinvestment.（教育值得投资）。

然后是建议国家增大教育投资，以及个人要努力学习。

这种三段式的写作模式容易掌握，在考场中比较实用，建议大家仿写。

【高分版点评】：

本次四级作文围绕着同一个话题，educationpay（教育回报），出现了两个版本，一个是教育和失业率的关系，另一个是教育和收入的关系。

就话题而言，命题难度并不高，选用的是贴近考生实际生活的熟悉话题。

形式上则采取图表作文的形式，图表作文在四级考试中较少出现，很多考生可能刚拿到题目会束手无策，但是只要考生仔细阅读题目，就不难发现，除了需要简单描述图表之外，其写作思路和话题作文非常类似。

写好这篇作文，主要抓住三点：

首先，描述图表内容。

对于柱状图，抓住横抽和纵轴之间的关系，对数字的变化趋势进行总体描述即可。

用词不宜超过总字数的1/3。

其次，要一句话揭示图表背后的隐含意思，引入文章的立意。

最后，文章的立意可以采取两种思路，保守的写法是直接阐释产生现象的原因，如写失业率那篇范文;另一个则是，根据图表上的结果，借题发挥，发表自己的观点，如写收入的那篇范文。
