考研英語(yǔ)二大作文部分考點(diǎn)相對(duì)比較固定,只要掌握寫(xiě)作技巧,背過(guò)高分模板句型,就可以“牢牢地”抓到分?jǐn)?shù),是考研英語(yǔ)穩(wěn)定得分的“壓艙石”。
所以,今天咱們就來(lái)講解大作文的第一段內(nèi)容——圖表描述。
在大作文的首段首句,我們首先寫(xiě)一句話(huà)描述標(biāo)題。模板句型如下:
The bar chart(柱狀圖)/ line chart(折線(xiàn)圖)/ pie chart(餅狀圖)/ table(表格) above clearly illustrates the statistics of 圖表標(biāo)題 in 地區(qū) from 起始年 to 結(jié)束年.
接下來(lái),讓我們來(lái)實(shí)踐練習(xí)一下,以2010年真題為例:
這是一張柱狀圖,所以應(yīng)該選擇bar chart,填入“圖表標(biāo)題”(mobile-phone subscriptions),填入“地區(qū)”(developing and developed countries),填入“起始年份和結(jié)束年份”(from 2000 to 2008),最終得到結(jié)果如下:
The bar chart above clearly illustrates the statistics of mobile-phone subscriptions in developing countries and developed countries from 2000 to 2008.
我們只需要選擇相應(yīng)的圖表類(lèi)型并填入對(duì)應(yīng)信息就可以完成首段首句,是不是非常簡(jiǎn)單?
接下來(lái)我們寫(xiě)首段的第二句話(huà)(描述圖表)
英語(yǔ)二大作文有4種圖表類(lèi)型:柱狀圖、折線(xiàn)圖、餅狀圖、表格
我們可以將它們劃分成3種類(lèi)型:
-
A類(lèi)型:描述變化(適合柱狀圖、折線(xiàn)圖)
-
B類(lèi)型:描述占比(適合狀圖)
-
C類(lèi)型:描述行列(適合表格)
1
A類(lèi)型
首先,讓我們來(lái)看看A類(lèi)型的寫(xiě)作方法,A類(lèi)型述描述數(shù)字的變化,適合描述柱狀圖和折線(xiàn)圖。
A類(lèi)型模板句(描述變化): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that the 主題詞 number of 對(duì)象1 increased/decreased rapidly/slowly from 數(shù)字1 to 數(shù)字2, while that of 對(duì)象2 grew/declined dramatically/slightly
from 數(shù)字3 to 數(shù)字4.
例1(柱狀圖,2010年真題)
我們需要填入“主題詞”(mobile-phone subscription),填入“對(duì)象1”(developing countries)。圖中發(fā)展中國(guó)家增長(zhǎng)迅速,所以選擇increased rapidly,填入“數(shù)字1和數(shù)字2”(from 0.4 billion to 4 billion),填入“對(duì)象2”(developing countries)。圖中的發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家增長(zhǎng)緩慢,所以選擇grew slightly,填入“數(shù)字3和數(shù)字4”(from 0.5 billion to 1 billion),最終得到結(jié)果如下:
According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that the mobile-phone subscription number of developing countries increased dramatically from 0.4 billion to 4 billion, while that of developed countries grew slightly from 0.5 billion to 1 billion.
這是首段的第2句話(huà),再加上剛才我們寫(xiě)的第1句話(huà),這樣我們就完成了首段的寫(xiě)作任務(wù)(圖表描述)。
A類(lèi)型除了適合描述柱狀圖之外,也適合描述折線(xiàn)圖,接下來(lái)讓我們看看如果把A類(lèi)型的模板句應(yīng)用到折線(xiàn)圖中。
例2(折線(xiàn)圖,2017年真題)
填入“對(duì)象1”(museums),因?yàn)椴┪镳^增長(zhǎng)緩慢,所以選擇increased slowly,填入“數(shù)字1和數(shù)字2”(from 4100 to 4600),填入“對(duì)象2”(visitors),因?yàn)閰⒂^人數(shù)增長(zhǎng)迅速,所以選擇grew dramatically,填入“數(shù)字3和數(shù)字4”(from 610 million to 800 million),最終得到結(jié)果如下:
According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that the number of museums increased slowly from 4100 to 4600, and that of visitors grew dramatically from about 610 million to 800 million.
2
B類(lèi)型
接下來(lái),讓我們看看B類(lèi)型,B類(lèi)型描述數(shù)字所占的百分比,適合描述餅狀圖:
B類(lèi)型模板句(描述占比): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that 對(duì)象1 has the largest proportion, accounting for %. The second largest proportion can be seen in 對(duì)象2, making up %, followed by 對(duì)象3,對(duì)象4,對(duì)象5 with %, % and % respectively.
例3(餅狀圖,2010年真題)
填入“對(duì)象1”(learning knowledge),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(59.5%),填入“對(duì)象2”(killing time),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(21.3%),填入“對(duì)象3和對(duì)象4”(acquiring information and others), 填入相應(yīng)的百分比(17.0% and 2.2%),最終得到結(jié)果如下:
According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that learning knowledge has the largest proportion, accounting for 59.5%. The second largest proportion can be seen in killing time, making up 21.3%, followed by acquiring information and others with 17.0% and 2.2% respectively.
3
C類(lèi)型
最后,讓我們來(lái)看看C類(lèi)型,C類(lèi)型描述表格的行和列中的相關(guān)信息:
C類(lèi)型模板句(描述行列): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that 對(duì)象1 has the largest rate, accounting for %, while the lowest proportion can be seen in 對(duì)象2, making up %.
例4(表格,2012年真題)
填入“對(duì)象1”(employees aged above 50),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(40%),填入“對(duì)象2”(employees aged 41-50),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(64.0%)。最終得到結(jié)果如下:
According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that employees aged above 50 has the highest satisfaction rate, accounting for 40%, while the lowest satisfaction rate can be seen in employees aged 41-50, making up 64.0%.
由此可見(jiàn),只要掌握A, B, C三種類(lèi)型的模板句型,無(wú)論在考試中考察柱狀圖、折線(xiàn)圖、餅狀圖或者表格,我們都可以應(yīng)對(duì)自如。
各位考生,請(qǐng)認(rèn)真總結(jié)以上寫(xiě)作模板,通過(guò)進(jìn)一步的練習(xí),熟練掌握以上大作文圖表描述技巧。希望大家快速進(jìn)步!
