从以上例子可见，图表作文一般在题目中给出作文的标题和一个或几个统计表格、圆形图、曲线图或条形图，有时还用英文或中文提纲的形式给出提示，要求我们：

1)用文字描述图表，客观解释图表中所传递的信息，并找出某种规律或趋势;

2)就图表中所反映的某种趋势或问题分析其原因或后果。

二、写作要领

图表作文着重说明事实，常常是通过对图表中所反映的具体数据的说明、分析、比较，对某种事物或现象的事实或变化情况等加以说明，并提出结论或看法。因此，图表作文常常采用议论文体的写作方法。写好图表作文，关键在于能否读懂图表中所提供的信息，把握各信息间的

联系，用准确流畅的语言把这一信息表达出来，并就这一信息发表自己的看法。

三、写作步骤

写图表作文时，要注意遵循以下步骤：

1) 认真分析图表的含义，弄清图表中所含的信息及不同信息间的关系;

2) 确定文章的主题思想，构思出文章的基本框架，筛选出能说明图表主题思想的典型数据;

3) 编列文章的提纲;

4) 根据文章的提纲，将各段的提纲内容扩展成段落，然后将各个段落组成文章，注意段与段之间的衔接与过渡;

5) 检查与修改。

四、篇章结构

写图表作文时，常采用三段式的谋篇方式。文章的第一段往往分析图表中的数据变化反映什么问题或趋势，概述图表所揭示的信息。第二段分析造成这一问题或趋势的原因。第三段则展望未来的情况或提出解决问题的办法或建议。这一结构可以简单地表述为：

第一段：概述图表反映的主题思想

第二段：分析产生的原因

第三段：展望未来或提出方法或建议
