图表作文

一． 图表作文简介

图表写作往往是用数据或比例来表示相关因素的相互关系和变化规律，从而说明一定的道理。常见的图表有：表格、扇形图、线性图、条形图和柱形图。

二．图表作文注意事项

1. 仔细看图，全面领会图表中的信息。 根据题目的要求，认真分析图

表中的信息，找出规律归纳总结，确定图表反映的主题，得出结论，构思文章的整体布局。严格按照题目要求写作。

2.引用图表数据要有针对性。 图表数据无需一一列出，进行数据分

析，抓住主要点选择能反映出主题或规律的进行描述，相近的类别归为一类进行描述。独特的类别，重要数据一定要提到，以免漏掉重要信息。

3.多数作文是从图表反映的规律发现问题(第一段描述图表摆出问

题），（第二段）分析原因，（第三段）给出解决方式/总结/展望未来，可参照前面介绍的关于问题——原因——解决方式这类作文方法写。

4.注意运用对比承接词使其连贯。
