如何写好图表作文,1.对比分析,寻找数据的变化规律举例(1991.6)ChangesinPeoplesDietDirections:
Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositionofnolessthan100wordsonChangesinPeoplesDiet.Studythefollowingtablecarefullyandyourcompositionmustbebasedontheinformationgiveninthetable.Writethreeparagraphsto:
table,1.Statethechangesinpeoplesdiet(饮食)inthepastfiveyears;2.givenpossiblereasonsforchanges.3.drawyourownconclusions.4.youshouldquoteasfewfiguresaspossible.,通过横向、纵向对比分析,不难发现grain的消费量逐年下降,5年间减少了4%,而milk的消费却逐年增加,meat的消费也逐年增加。
纵向看,milk和meat变化趋势相同,占总消费量的比例在增大,而grain的比例变化正相反,从而归纳出一个总的变化规律:
grain的消费量在减少,而milk和meat的消费量在增加。

Forthispart,youareallowedthirtyminutestowriteacompositiononthetopic:
StudentUseofComputers.Youshouldwriteatleast150words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow:
上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间:
1990年(2hours),1995年(4hours),2000(20hours),请描述变化:
请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明)你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难和问题。
分析:
此柱形图表明,随着时间的推移,大学生越来越多地使用电脑。
Studentstendtousecomputersmoreandmorenowadays.Readingthischart,wecanfindthattheaveragenumberofhoursastudentspendsonthecomputerperweekhasincreasedsharply.In1990,itwaslessthan2hours;andin1995,itincreasedtoalmost4hours;whilein2000,thenumbersoaredto20hours.,Obviously,computersarebecomingmoreandmorepopular.Thereareseveralreasonsforthis.First,computersfacilitateusinmoreaspectsoflife.Also,thefastdevelopmentoftheInternetenlargesourdemandsforusingcomputers.WecaneasilycontactwithfriendsinremoteplacesthroughtheInternet.Besides,thepricesofcomputersaregettinglowerandlower,whichenablesmorestudentstopurchasethem.,Alongwiththetimespentoncomputers,therearisesomeproblems.ThemostseriousoneisthatmanystudentsarespendingsomuchtimeplayingPCgamessothattheyignoretheirstudies.Itisurgenttoletthestudentsusecomputersinaproperway.,2.筛选数据,切忌一一列出!
挑选有说服力的数据,主要是首尾两端的数字或其增减值。
以表1为例:
Thepercentageofgrainconsumptiondecreasedgradually,from49%in1986to45%in1990.-简明扼要。
又如:
milk和meat的变化,都说明了同一观点:
人们的经济收入增加了,生活水平提高了,能够消费得起价格较高的肉奶食品。
这样,描述milk的变化后,就不必要重复meat的变化。
简单一句:
”Thesameisthecasewithmeat.”即可。
或者直接计算出增加值或减少值,如:
”Theamountofgraininpeoplesdiethasdecreasedby4%.However,theamountofmilkhasincreased3%andthatofmeathasincreased4%.,3.强调数据间的关系,突出变化发现数据的变化规律,引用了典型数据,还须进一步强调突出这种变化,使论证更为有力。
以“studentUseofComputers”为例,有学生写到:
Butin2000,studentsspendnearly20hoursperweekonthecomputer.Thisnumberwastentimesthatof1990andfivetimesthatof1995.利用倍数强调突出,给评卷老师留下深刻印象。
4.使用主题句通常第一段的topicsentence说明发生了某种变化。
例如:
Greatchangeshavebeentakingplacein(e.g.peoplesdiet,studentuseofcomputers)from1995to2000.Inrecentyears,thetimestudentsusingcomputershasincreasedgreatly.,第二段topicsentence:
分析变化原因Therearemanyfactorsthathavestimulatedthishugechange.Suchchangesaremainlycausedbytworeasons.第三段总结Inshort,withtheimprovementofpeopleslivingstandards,changesintheirdietwillbegreaterandmoreobvious.Thereissuretobealotofprobleminstudentuseofcomputer,however,2012.12writing,EducationPaysNumerousindividualsarequestioningtheworthofhighereducationasthejobmarketisdepressed,yetthechartofWeeklyearningsin2010revealsaforcefulcounter-evidencethattheincomeisindirectproportiontooneseducationalbackground.Thosewithadoctoraldegreeearnnearly3.5timesasmuchasthosewithlessthanahighschooldiploma.,Asanincreasingnumberofgraduatesfinditdifficulttogetasatisfactoryjobafterstudyingformanyyears,ahotdebatearisesonwhethereducationpays.Supportersofhighereducationinsistthateducationisthetickettoasteadierandbetter-payingjobandthebasisofacomfortablelife.However,theopponentsassumethattheywouldnotstaketheirmoneyonsuchariskyinvestmentwhichdoesnotguaranteeapromisingcareer.,AsfarasIamconcerned,weshouldnotstopeatingforfearofchoking.Abettereducationinmostcases,notonlymeansabetterjob,ahighersalaryandalowerunemploymentrate,butapavingstonetotheintegratedimprovementofoneself.Inabroadsense,itiseducationthatcontributestothedevelopmentandadvancementofthewholenation,whichinturnbenefitseveryindividual.Inconclusion,educationisaworthyinvestment.,2、常用的描述用法Thetable/chart/diagram/graphshows/reveals(that)Accordingtothetable/chartdiagram/graphAs(is)showninthetable/chartdiagram/graphAscanbeseenfromthetable/chart/diagram/graph/figures,Itcanbeseenfromthefigures/statisticsWecanseefromthefigures/statisticsItisclear/apparentfromthefigures/statistics,3、图表中的数据具体表达法在某一个时间段固定不变:
