例1Changes in People's Diet:Changes in People’s DietDiet is very important in people’s life . From 1987 to 1990. people’s diet changed a lot . Grain was no longer regarded as the main food. And as the proportion of fruit and vegetables declined, the consumption of milk and meat increased.What caused these changes? There are two reasons. One is that with the development of science, people began to realize the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. The other is that people had more money to spend and could afford more expensive food. They tried to change their low-priced diet into a more varied one. They were eager to build up a strong body by improving their living standards.With the development of our economy and the improvement of our food supply, further changes will take place in people’s diet.例2Directions: Write a composition based on the charts of the average family expenses in the United Stated. The opening sentence is given and you are required to develop it into a full composition.The opening sentence: The average family income in the United States increased from 12,000 dollars per year in 1980 to 16,000 dollars in 1985.The Average Family ExpensesThe average family income in the United States has increased from 12,000 dollars per year in 1980 to 16,000 dollars in 1985. In the meantime, the structure of the average family expenses has changed, too. These graphs show the change clearly.The biggest part of the average family expenses was housing. In 1980, the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing. In 1985, expenses on housing rose to 32 percent. Food and drink were the second biggest part of the average family expenses .In 1980, about 18% of the average income was spent on this item. In 1985, the figure grew to 22%. As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1980 to 46% in 1985.Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step by step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the essential needs.例3Health Gains in Developing Countries①以下图为依据，描述发展中国家的期望寿命（life expectancy）和婴儿死亡率（infant mortality）的变化情况。

②说明引起变化的种种原因。

250 80 200 6015040 10020 501960 1990 1960 1990这是一个“两段式”图表作文。

段1要求描述“期望寿命”和“婴儿死亡率”的变化情况。

首先要看懂图表中数字间的相关意义。

两个图表中两组数字间的关系是不同的。

在“期望寿命”变化图中，横坐标的数字是时间（从1960到1990年），纵坐标的数字是期望寿命。

从图中矩形图的变化情况可以看出，在30年里，发展中国家的“期望寿命”提高了20岁。

在“婴儿死亡率”变化图中，横坐标还是表示时间（这就与左图有了可比性），而纵坐标的数字表示每1，000新生儿中的死亡率。

从矩形图的变化趋势看，在30年里，发展中国家的“婴儿死亡率”从200降到了100。

从上述对图表的观察，可以看出图表所反映的情况是，从1960到1990的30年中，发展中国家的“婴儿死亡率”下降了100个千分点，而“期望寿命”提高了20岁。

那么发生这种变化的原因是什么呢？在段2中，要从社会的、经济的、文化的角度来分析各种可能的原因。

因此，学生必须善于分析问题，思考问题，能够从现象中挖掘出问题的本质。

如果平时在阅读中不注重分析能力的培养，课外阅读兴趣又十分狭窄，那么反映到作文上，就是思维简单，分析表面化。

就“婴儿死亡率”和“期望寿命”而言，应该可以从以下几个方面寻找原因：—社会的：经济发展，生活水平提高，人的寿命增加。

—科学的：医疗技术进步，婴儿的健康得到进一步保障。

—文化的：文明程度的提高，使人们更加注意生活质量。

通过上述分析，这篇图表作文的“发展提纲”就可以写出来了：①the changes of life expectancy and infant mortality:—the change of life expectancy: it has risen by 20 years old.—the change of infant mortality: it has decreased by 100‰.②the reasons for the great changes:—the social and economical development.—the improvement of living conditions.—the advancement of medical technology.—the change of people’s i deas of life and health.范文：In the developing countries great changes took place in life expectancy and infant mortality in the period from 1960 to 1990. In 1960 life expectancy was very low, while infant mortality was very high. However, in 1990 life expectancy increased, whereas infant mortality declined.There are many reasons for the changes, but in general, they come down to three major ones. First, their living conditions were improved. In the old days people in the developing countries suffered hunger and were exposed to the elements. Nowadays they are well fed and housed. Naturally they live longer than before. Besides, the medical condition was also improved and so the adequate medical treatment ensures the adults’ health and reduces infant mortality. Most important of all, in the early 60sthere were constant wars in some developing countries because of the colonial rule and so a lot of people were killed in wars. Nowadays most developing countries have become independent countries and their people live a peaceful life.In conclusion, the national independence and social stability are responsible for these changes.数据式图表作文写作要素数据式图表作文规律出现的语句：反映数量变化的rise/increase/go up/grow drop/godown/decrease/fall/reduce to, morethan, less than, more and more；反映背景对比的compare…to, compare…with, contrast to；反映现象相互间关系的as…as, the same as, be similar to, be different from；反映数量比例的four-fiths, eighty percent, half of, a quarter of, three times as…as；交待社会现象产生背景的be caused by, be made by, lead to数据式图表作文常见的过渡性词汇：表对比的but, however, while, on the contrary；表递进关系的what's more/besides, what's worse/to make the matter worse/worse than all/worse than ever/worse still；表因果关系的thanks to, as a result (of), therefore；表并列关系的for one thing, for the other thing, on the one hand, on the other hand；表总结的in a word, in brief/short, It's clear that…；表情感反映的to our surprise, to our joy, even, still, also, too, of course, certainly；表引起下文的as a rule, generally speaking, as we all know图表作文的常用表达段首表达方式：table/bar1)According to pie / chart,As can be seen from + the + diagram / graph we can see clearly that…As is shown in figures/ picture2)The purpose of this picture (table…) is to show (indicate) that …3)The figure indicates (shows/ suggests) that X% of sth. / sb…数字信息表达方式：1)By 1999, the number of sth. / sb. had less than (more than / nearly)doubled (tripled) compared with that of 1991.2)The number of sth. / sb. remained steady (stable) from 1990 to 1999.3)The number of sth. / sb. stayed the same between 1990 and 1999.4)There was little (hardly and / no) change in the number of sth. / sb.from… to… (between…and)5)The figures reached a high point (a low point) at X% (in 1990).6)The number of sth. / sb. increased (rose/ decreased/ dropped) rapidly(slightly) from… to …(between…and) by X%.7)There was a rapid (slight) increase (rise/decrease/drop) in the numberof sth. / sb. from… to…(between…and…)8)The life expectancy in 1990 is twice the number in 1960.9)The infant mortality in 1960 is twice as much that as in 1990.10)A has about (approximately) the same number of sth. / sb. as B.总结概述表达方式：by and large in a word to sum upon the whole in brief in conclusionin general in short in summarygenerally speaking all in all to summarize图表式作文写作模版（1）It is obvious in the graphic/table that the rate/number/amount of Y has undergone dramatic changes.
