作文指导图表作文
第一段(简述)
As the chart indicates, the proportion of the high school students who contact each other by sending a short message and by E-mail is absolutely high, while other communicating means, such as by writing a letter are relatively minor.
第二段（看法）
Personally speaking, this social phenomenon persuades us to take the following two aspects into consideration.Firstly, wherever and whenever we are, sending messages or email is convenient, for a mobile phone is portable. On the other hand, these communicating means are efficient, for it almost takes no time to send or receive a message. If I have to contact somebody, for example, I often choose to use my cell phone or computer. Writing a letter is a traditional way to get in touch with each other, which seems to be out of fashion.
第三段（小结）
No doubt, this survey reflects the feature of modern times that people including high school students prefer to enjoy such convenience and efficiency brought about by high technology. (163words)
例二“有困难向谁述说”图表作文
The pie chart above illustrates the result of the survey “To whom do you go when in trouble” conducted in high schools recently. It can be clearly seen that classmates and friends tops the list, adding up to 58%. Teachers and parents ranks second, making up 33%, while those who solve the problem on their own accounts for only 9%.The reasons for the phenomenon may be as follows:
The share of the similar experience mainly contributes to the tendency for us to complain to our classmates and friends instead of the older generation. Because of the identical feelings, we
may find the solutions suggested by our friends to be more useful and advisable. On the contrary, owing to the unavoidable generation gap, we are sure to value the trouble or problems differently from teachers and parents, and the disagreement may even cause unnecessary argument, thus turning away many youngsters.
Secondly, the lack of self-confidence and independence may account for the 9% part. We have little courage to burden the consequence of our own life choice, thus habitually turning to others for help. The result of this situation is the less we try, the less mature we are.
To sum up, the process of growing may usually be painful, and young students may have to face various kinds of troubles. As long as they take optimistic views and proper methods, those troubles will no longer obstacles. Just open your heart and pick up your courage.

There is a pie chart of the average weekly expenditure of a family in Great Britain. As can been seen from the chart, the main expenditure of an average British family is spent on food, which accounts for 25 % of its total expenditure. The next two significant items are transport and housing, which are 15% and 12% respectively. If we take into account clothing and footwear, which makes up 10%, the four essentials of life, that is, food, transport, housing,,clothing and footwear, amount to 62% of the total expenditure.

(6)小结：总结表格数据反映的总趋势
⑺There are several reasons for the decline. ⑻First, a new traffic law was made and came into force. ⑼It provided that in summer every car must be air-conditioned. ⑽As a result, the highest rate in August, when humidity and high temperature make drivers impatient and easily lead to car accidents, dropped steadily. ⑾Second, new roads were built and some narrow streets were widened, which quickened the flow of traffic. ⑿Finally, the city administration made great efforts to heighten people’s awareness of observing traffic rules.

⒀With all these new measures, I’m sure the rate of car accidents in Walton city will go on falling this year.

Changes in People’s Diet
Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to :
1. stat e the changes in people’s diet from 1986 to 1990 according to the graph;
2. give possible reasons for this phenomenon ( or for this change);
3. draw your own conclusions.
⑴As is shown in the table, there have been great changes in people's diet between
1986 and 1990. ⑵From the table, we can find that grain, formerly the main food of most Chinese people, is now playing a less important role in people's diet. ⑶And the same goes for fruit and vegetables. ⑷On the other hand, the consumption of high-nutrition food such milk and meat has increased rapidly.
⑸What has caused these changes? There are mainly three reasons (主题句). (6) First,
people are much wealthier than before. (7) With higher income, they can afford to buy nutritious foods. (8) Second, people have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health. (9) Lack of certain amount of meat or milk, for example, will result in poor health.
(10) Finally, owing to the economic reform, meat and milk, which were scarce in the past, are
produced in large quantities.
(11) Although milk and meat are important to one's health, eating too much rich food
may result in obesity and may other diseases. (12)Therefore, people should not only eat a lot of milk and meat, but also enough grain, fruit and vegetable for the sake of their health.
As can be seen from the table, marked changes took place in the diet of the Chinese people in the period 1986—1990. The consumption of grain, fruit and vegetables decreased year by year, while that of milk and meat showed a steady increase. There is clearly a marked shift away from the traditional grain-based diet to one containing more high-energy foodstuffs.
To what can we attribute this phenomenon? First, as people’s income is rising nowadays, people can afford a wider variety of food with higher nutritional value. Second, as people are becoming more knowledgeable about science, they are aware how important a proper diet is to their health. So they are demanding better-quality food.
The figures given in the table indicate that the standard of living of the Chinese people is rising. This is reflected in a more wholesome diet, and so we can conclude that in the future the Chinese people will lead not only a more prosperous life, but a healthier one as well.。
