Study the following table carefully and your co

3、mposition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:table19801987198819891990Grain49%47%46.5%45%45%Milk10%11%11%12%13%Meat17%20%22.523%21%Fruit and vegetable24%22%20%20%21%Total 100%100%100%100%100%1.State the changes in peoples diet(饮食）in the past five years;2.

4、given possible reasons for changes.3.draw your own conclusions.4. you should quote as few figures as possible.通过横向、纵向对比分析，不难发现grain的消费量逐年下降，5年间减少了4%，而milk的消费却逐年增加，meat的消费也逐年增加。纵向看，milk 和meat 变化趋势相同，占总消费量的比例在增大，而grain 的比例变化正相反，从而归纳出一个总的变化规律：grain 的消费量在减少，而milk 和meat的消费量在增加。From the table we can see t

5、hat during the past five years there have been great changes in peoples diet. The greatest change occurs in grain consumption, which has dropped 4% from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990 in total food consumption. (continue)The second greatest change is in milk consumption, which increased 3% from 10% in 1

6、986 to 13% in 1990, but on the other hand, two trends can be observed in the consumption of meat and fruit and vegetables. From 1986 to 1989, meat consumption increased from 17% to 23%, while that of fruit and vegetables dropped from 24% to 20%. From 1989 to 1990, meat consumption dropped a little t

7、o 21%, while that of fruit and vegetables increased a little to 21%.What has caused the great changes in peoples diet? The main reason, I think, lies in the improvement in peoples income level. With the development of our society, people are becoming richer and richer, which enables them to purchase

8、 more nutritious food such as meat and milk. In the meantime, grain consumption in peoples diet consequently dropped.So from the analysis, we can draw a conclusion that our society is progressing and people are living a bettler life than ever before. We are now able to purchase more delicious and nu

9、tritious food, resulting in an improvement in our health.e.g.220181614121086420 1990 1995 2000 2002.6 Student Use of ComputersDirections: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Student Use of Computers.

10、mposition on the outline given in Chinese below:上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间：1990年（2hours）,1995年(4hours), 2000(20hours), 请描述变化：请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明）你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难和问题。分析：此柱形图表明，随着时间的推移， 大学生越来越多地使用电脑。Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find

11、 that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4hours; while in 2000, the number soared to 20hours.Obviously, computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reas

12、ons for this. First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which ena

13、bles more students to purchase them.Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.2. 筛选数据，切忌一一列

14、出！挑选有说服力的数据， 主要是首尾两端的数字或其增减值。以表1为例：The percentage of grain consumption decreased gradually, from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990.-简明扼要。又如： milk 和 meat的变化，都说明了同一观点：人们的经济收入增加了，生活水平提高了，能够消费得起价格较高的肉奶食品。这样，描述milk的变化后，就不必要重复meat的变化。简单一句：”The same is the case with meat.”即可。或者直接计算出增加值或减少值，如：”The amount of grain

15、in peoples diet has decreased by 4%. However, the amount of milk has increased 3% and that of meat has increased 4%.3.强调数据间的关系，突出变化发现数据的变化规律，引用了典型数据，还须进一步强调突出这种变化，使论证更为有力。以“student Use of Computers”为例，有学生写到：But in 2000, students spend nearly 20 hours per week on the computer. This number was ten tim

16、es that of 1990 and five times that of 1995. 利用倍数强调突出，给评卷老师留下深刻印象。4.使用主题句通常第一段的topic sentence 说明发生了某种变化。例如：Great changes have been taking place in (e.g. peoples diet, student use of computers) from 1995 to 2000.In recent years, the time students using computers has increased greatly.第二段 topic senten

17、ce: 分析变化原因There are many factors that have stimulated this huge change.Such changes are mainly caused by two reasons.第三段 总结In short, with the improvement of peoples living standards, changes in their diet will be greater and more obvious.There is sure to be a lot of problem in student use of compute

18、r, however2012.12 writingEducation PaysNumerous individuals are questioning the worth of higher education as the job market is depressed, yet the chart of Weekly earnings in 2010 reveals a forceful counter-evidence that the income is in direct proportion to ones educational background. Those with a

19、doctoral degree earn nearly 3.5 times as much as those with less than a high school diploma.As an increasing number of graduates find it difficult to get a satisfactory job after studying for many years, a hot debate arises on whether education pays. Supporters of higher education insist that educat

20、ion is the ticket to a steadier and better-paying job and the basis of a comfortable life. However, the opponents assume that they would not stake their money on such a risky investment which does not guarantee a promising career.As far as I am concerned, we should not stop eating for fear of chokin

21、g. A better education in most cases, not only means a better job, a higher salary and a lower unemployment rate, but a paving stone to the integrated improvement of oneself. In a broad sense, it is education that contributes to the development and advancement of the whole nation, which in turn benef

22、its every individual. In conclusion, education is a worthy investment.2、常用的描述用法The table/chart/ diagram/graph shows /reveals（that）According to the table/chart diagram/graphAs （is） shown in the table/chart diagram/graphAs can be seen from the table/chart/diagram/graph/figures，It can be seen from the
