图表式作文

图表式作文图表式作文是四级考试中较难的一种作文类型。

它要求考生根据图表所给出的信息，写出所要表达主题的作文。

图表式作文最大的特点是所给的信息表达很集中，给人以一目了然之感。

四级的图表式作文提示部分包括图表和文字要点提示两部分。

图表的类型主要有：饼型图和直型图（graph）、曲线图（chart）和数据统计表（table）。

图表式作文的写作内容包括综合理解、客观详述和主观表达，一般可分为三部分来写：一，描述图表反映的总情况，用能充分说明主题的典型数据来描写。

二，对数字进行仔细的分析比较，归纳出增减速率并找出产生变化的原因。

三，读图表后的想法或评论，并得出自己的结论。

I. 具体的写作步骤如下：第一步，描述信息。

一，理解并描述整体信息首先，读懂图表标题，包括附标题所提供的信息。

准确了解主题内容，观察趋向和结果，找出变化的规律。

然后，用一两句话，就图表所反映的主题、事物发展的趋向和结果以及所反映出的深层问题等方面做出概括性的评论（一般不包括数字）。

二，描述具体信息为了证明已概括的整体信息，需要从不同角度，对图表列出的数据进行描述。

在说明数据变化时，既要说明结果，也要表明趋势。

对于趋势的描述，至少需引用一组数据变化的例子，有时还需要再举出一组数据与之作比较。

顺着这样的思路写下来，文章不仅内容丰富，而且脉络清晰。

注意：在分析图表时，不必对图表中出现的每个数字纠缠不清，应该关注的是图表中体现的总的情况，要删繁就简，抓住关键数据做文章。

比如，曲线的突然变化，百分比的增加或减少。

第二步，阐述原因用一句话把文章从信息的描述过渡到产生这些现象的原因，然后详细分析原因。

这一部分与同学们熟悉的议论文写法一致，在此不再过多叙述。

第三步，表达个人观点用一句话再次归纳图表内容，与第一段相互照应。

之后根据具体情况来表述观点：如果这篇文章讲的是一个令人担忧的问题，那么谈论一下可能的解决办法；如果这篇文章讲的是一个好的变化，那么这一段很可能是两种情况——可能写负面的影响或存在的问题（这就很象利弊类的文章了），或者写未来趋势或发展方向。

写未来趋势或发展方向时，不宜写得过多或过长，通常一两句话即可。

上述情况都是依提纲而定，提纲中如果没有第三点，那么是问题写办法，是好事写展望，均不宜长。

在表达个人观点时，同学们大可不必为了得出一个正确的观点煞费苦心地思考和描述。

要知道，此作文的目的是考察考生使用英语表达思想的流利程度和明晰程度，而不是市长问卷，让考生为解决某个问题出谋划策（当然解决问题的思路和能力是我们学习的重要目的）。

因此，在写作过程中，要有选择地进行表达。

避开艰涩的或有中国式英语嫌疑的词和词组。

Chan ges in People's DietDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Chan ges in People 'Diet. Study the followi ng table carefully and your compositi on must be based on the in formati on in the table. Write three paragraphs to:(1) state the cha nges in people's diet in the past five years;(2) give possible reas ons for the cha nges;(3) draw your own con clusi ons.You should quote as few figures as possible.Changes in People 'Diet1.From the chart we can see that duri ng the past five years there have bee n great cha nges in people ' diet. The greatest cha nge occurs in grain con sumpti on, which has dropped 4% from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990 in total food consumption. The second greatest change is in milk consumption, which in creased from 10% in 1986 to 13% in 1990. But on the other hand, two trends can be observed in the con sumpti on of meat and fruit and vegetables. From 1986 to 1989, meat con sumpti on in creased from 17% to 23% while that of fruit and vegetables dropped from 24% to 20%. From 1989 to 1990, meat con sumpti on dropped a little to 21%, while that of fruit and vegetables in creased a little to 21%.What has caused the great changes in people' diet? The main reason , I think, lies in the improvement in people 'sincome level. With the development of our society, people are becoming richer and richer, which enables them to purchase more nutritious food such as meat and milk. In the mean time, grain con sumptio n in people 'diet con seque ntly dropped.So from the analysis, we can draw a conclusion that our society is progressing and people are living a better life than ever before. We are now able to purchase more delicious and nutritious food, result ing in an improveme nt in our health.2.Studying the table of people' diet in the past five years, we can see that while the daily components of diet are the same, the proportion of each component is changing. Grain in 1986 made up almost half of people 'diet, but in 1989 and 1990 its percentage decrease to 45%. In contrast, the percentages of milk and meat were on the rise until 1990. as for fruit and vegetables, their percentage had been dropping until 1990, when its consumption saw a slight rise again.The possible reasons for the changes may go like this: with the development of the country ' economy, people" life is getting better and better. In the past, the main purpose of diet is to keep people from being hun gry. What concerned people most was the qua ntity of food, not its quality. So grain constituted a larger portion of their diet. Now people 'attention is not focused on the quantity, for food is abundant and most people can get all the food they want. So their in terest has switched to the quality. As milk and meat have higher prote in content and fruit and vegetables are vitam in rich, people begi n to con sume them more and more.What we can conclude from the figures is that people ' lives are improving every year. What ' more, we see a bala ncing out in their diet. Although people have more money now, they have chose n a healthier diet with less meat and more fruit and vegetables.二.Stude nt Use of ComputersDirections: For this part, you are allowed thirty minu tes to write a compositi on on the topic Stude nt Use of Computers.
