英语四级图表作文参考范文ppt课件

1、英语四级图表作文讲解及参考范文,陈夜羽,1,导言：图表式作文,一、图表作文常见出题形式 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。 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

2、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。,2,二、图表作文的写作步骤,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。,3,三、图表作文的篇章结构,写图表作文时，常采用三段式的陈述方式。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

3、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（总趋势+极端值+特点，时态） 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,4,第一节：图表作文写作过程,5,二、要点分析,A. 表格图 1横向比较: 介绍横向各个数据的区别，变化和趋势 2纵向比较:介绍横向各个数据的区别，变化和趋势 3无需将每一个数据分别说明，突出强调数据最大值和最小值，对比时要总结出数据对比最悬殊的和最小的 说明：考察例举数字的能力和方法。注意怎样通过举一些有代表性的数据来有效地说明问题。,6,B. 曲线图,1极点说明: 对图表当中最高的，最低的点要单独

4、进行说明 2趋势说明: 对图表当中曲线的连续变化进行说明，如上升，下降，波动，持平 3交点说明: 对图表当中多根曲线的交点进行对比说明 说明：关键是把握好曲线的走向和趋势，学会general classification,即在第二段的开头部分对整个曲线进行一个阶段式的总分类，使写作层次清晰。接下来在分类描述每个阶段的specific trend,同时导入数据作为你分类的依据。注意不要不做任何说明就机械性的导入数据！可以使用一些比较native的单词和短语来描述trend。,7,C. 饼状图 1介绍各扇面及总体的关系 2各个扇面之间的比较，同类扇面在不同时间，不同地点的比较 3重点突出特点最明显

5、的扇面：最大的，最小的，互相成倍的 D. 柱状图 1.比较: similarity 2.对比: difference 3.横向总结所有柱状图表的共性特征 其次，第三比较分析 3小结：由上图分析，可以看出/得出_.,10,1）内容：figure、statistic、number、percentage、proportion 2）用语：,11,12,13,14,修辞语,15,在运动范畴中存在着如下的种运动趋向：,1. 保持平稳： 可以使用的套用结构有: stay stable / remain steady 举例：表示“人口数量保持平稳”的时候可以写: the number of populatio

6、n stayed stable / the number of population remained steady 2. 上升/增加： 可以使用的套用结构有：rise / climb / increase / ascend /mount / aggrandize (增加) 举例：人口数上升：the number of population increased/ascended/mounted等等。,16,3下降/减少： 可以使用的套用结构有：fall/ drop/ decrease/ descend/ decline 举例：人口减少：the number of population decr

7、eased/ declined 4. 下降后保持平稳： 这个图形比较奇怪，划出的线段应该前面是向下的，后面是平的，在表示这个平的时候我们就不可以使用 remain steady 了，我们要使用的结构是bottom out。 举例：人口下降后保持平稳：the number of population decreased and bottomed out 5.上升后保持平稳： 前面的上升我们就不用说了，但是在上升以后保持平稳，我们需要使用 level off。 举例：人口上升后保持平稳：the number of population mounted and leveled off,17,6.复苏

8、： 前面下降了以后，然后就上升了，这两条线段的连接点就叫复苏。英语中表达为recover。 举例：人口下降后复苏：the number of population decreased and recovered 7. 波动： 这个就像我们的心电图一样。英语中叫 fluctuate。 举例：人口波动： the number of population fluctuated. 8. 达到顶峰：peak / reach its summit / reach its zenith 举例：人口到达了顶峰：the number of population peaked/ reached its summi

9、t/ reached its zenith.,18,连续性描写,上面就是运动性线段的八种趋势了。但是上升，下降，波动是存在程度的。所以我们接下来要讨论的是程度的描述方法。程度只有两种，缓慢和陡然。 缓慢的/轻微的： gradually/ smoothly/ steadily/ slightly 陡然的/大幅度的： dramatically/ sharply/ considerably/ appreciably/ greatly 举例: 1. 人口大幅度攀升: the number of population mounted dramatically 2. 人口轻微下降: the number

10、of population decreased slightly 3. 人口逐渐下降: the number of population decreased gradually,19,好了，我们现在已经说了两个范畴了, 这两个范畴可以帮你搞定任何线段组的描述。紧接下来我们要讨论的是如何将线段组与数据进行连接。非常简单, 注意如下的介词使用。,一. remain steady / stay stable / level off / bottom out / peak / reach its peak / reach its zenith 后面需要使用的是 at . 举例: 1. 人口在500万上

11、保持平稳: the number of population remained steady at 5 million 2 人口在800万时到达了顶峰: the number of population peaked at 8 million 3. 下降后, 人口在400万保持平稳: after decreasing, the number of population bottomed out at 4 million 4. 上升后, 人口在700万保持平稳: after mounting, the number of population leveled off at 7 million,2

12、0,二. 上升/下降后面使用to(到)和by(了) 举例: 1. 人口下降到200万: the number of population decreased to 2 million. 2. 人口下降了200万: the number of population decreased by 2 million. 3. 人口上升到1000万: the number of population increased to 10 million. 4. 人口上升了500万: the number of population increased by 5 million. 三. recover的后面大家需

13、要使用的是from 举例: 人口在200万时开始复苏:number of population recovered from 2 million. 四. fluctuate 的后面大家需要连接 between . and . 举例: 人口在2和100亿之间波动: the number of population fluctuated between 2 and 10 billion,21,来看一篇范文：, From the graph, we can see that the number of car accidents in Walton city fluctuated during th
