图表描述-第一讲.doc

图表图表概述什么是图表 图表有下面几种形式： 曲线图（line chart, graph）； 饼状图（pie chart）； 柱状图（bar chart）； 表格图（table）；如果要有一个单词统称所有图表，可以用figure。图表的评分标准 图表的评分标准与议论文相仿，有4条：趋势，数据支持，。 以曲线图为例，所谓趋势就是把曲线分段，分别各段的上升，下降和保持不变的趋势；然后再用关联词把这些线段连接起来。 所谓数据支持，就是描述升降变化的起点和终点的数值。例如： 1960年老师的人数是30万，1970年是50万。( There was a rise in the number of teachers from three hundred thousand in 1960 to five hundred thousand in 1970. 又比如： 1970年到1980年老师的人数保持在50万。( There was a leveling off in the number of teachers at five hundred thousand. 最后要有自己的观点意味着在图表（除了流程图和示意图）中解释。关联词大量而准确地使用 词汇 句子结构 曲线图 一条曲线例题1Number of full-time teachers of regular schools (in millions) in China (1960~1990) 一条曲线的基本结构（也是大部分图表的基本结构）首段 首句 This graph shows the 数据形式 of 对象 in 地点 时间. 二句 有可能的话总结总体趋势 中间段落 趋势描写，数据支持，有必要时点出顶点。 末段 本文首段 This graph shows the number of full-time teachers of regular schools in China between 1960 to 1990.
