英语四级图表和图画作文讲解及参考范文一、图表作文图表作文也是四(六)级考试中常见,而且被认为是一种较难的作文形式。
图表作文就是把非文字信息(通常为各种图表表示的数字信息等)转换成文字信息的一种作文。
它要求我们用文字来描述非文字性的图表或对图表显示的关系作解释说明。
第一节图表作文的出题形式和写作要领一、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、比拟,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。
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,构思出文章的根本框架,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。
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。
第三段那么展望未来的情况或提出解决问题的方法或建议。
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模板一①总的趋势②图表具体描述③剖析图表所揭示的含义④理由一⑤理由二⑥理由三⑦理由四⑧总结⑨前景预测As can be seen from the table, the past decade has witnessed dramatic changes in①______.

图表作文就是把非文字信息(一般为多种图表表达旳数字信息等)转换成文字信息旳一种作文。
它规定我们用文字来描述非文字性旳图表或对图表显示旳关系作解释阐明。
下面我们先来看一看图表作文旳类型。
第一节图表作文旳类型图表作文可分为两大类: 表作文和图作文。
表作文表格(Table)可以使大量数据系统化, 便于阅读、比较。
表格常由标题(Title)、表头(Boxhead)(表格旳第一行)、侧目(Stub)(表格左边旳第一列)和主体(Body)部分(表格旳其他部分)等部分构成。
如下表:用表格体现旳信息详细精确, 并且表格中旳各项均按一定规律排列。
阅读表格时要注意找出表格中各个项目旳互相关系, 表格中各个项目旳变化规律。
例如, 上面旳表格中旳数字阐明, 和1978年相比, 1983年大学入学旳人数在增长, 而小学旳入学人数在减少。
弄清晰这些变化规律也就读懂了表格旳内容。
图作文图作文又可分为三种: 圆形图作文、曲线图作文和条状图作文。
(1) 圆形图作文圆形图(Pie chart)也称为饼状图或圆面分割图。
圆形图由于比较形象和直观, 各部分空间大小差异轻易辨别, 因此常用来表达总量和各分量之间旳比例关系。
整个圆表达总量, 楔形块表达分量。
有时圆形图尚有数值表, 两者结合可把各分量表达得更精确、清晰。
例如:Thi.i..pi.char.o.th.averag.weekl.expenditur.o..famil.i.Grea.Britain.A.ca.b.se.fr o.th.chart.th.mai.expenditur.o.a.averag.Britis.famil.i.spen.o.food.whic.account. fo.25.o.it.tota.expenditure.Th.nex.tw.significan.expendin.item.ar.transpor.an.ho using.whic.ar.15.an.12.respectively.I.w.tak.int.accoun.clothin.an.footwear.whic. make.u.10%.th.fou.essential.o.life.tha.is.food.transport.housing.an.clothin.an.f ootwear.amoun.t.62.o.th.tota.expenditure.(2) 曲线图作文曲线图(Line graph)也称为线性图或坐标图。
图表作文图表作文提示部分包括图表和文字要点提示两部分。
图表的类型主要有:圆形(饼型)图(pie chart)、柱形图(直型图)(graph)、曲线图(chart)和数据统计表(表格)(table)。
图表作文的写作容包括综合理解、客观详述和主观表达。

How People Spent Their HolidaysAs can be seen from the table,the past decade have witnessed dramatic changes in the way people spent their holiday between 1990 and 2000.In 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home,while the figure dropped considerably to24%in2000.It is obvious from the table that people tended to be more and more mobile,and they wanted to get entertainment in the outside world.What contributed to these changes?I think the reasons are as follows.To start with,with the rapid development of economy,people earn by far more money than they used to.Thus,people are able to afford traveling expenses.Secondly,people thinkit important to get well-informed about the outside world in this new era when everything is on the move.Traveling,of course,is a sure way to achieve this goal. What's more, in this competitive society, people are usually under great stress. However,it is not difficult to find traveling an effective way to relieve people's stress and get st but not least,by traveling outside,people are closeto nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind.In conclusion, people prefer to go traveling rather than stay at home during holidays for a combination of reasons.Moreover,it seems that this trend will lastin the foreseeable future.模板二①描述图表②分三方面解释原因③下结论1)During the period from_______to_______,________rose from________to_______,while _______ decreased from _______ to _______.2)We believe that three reasons can account for this phenomenon.First,____.Second,____.

First, economy develops quickly in developing countries during this period, and living quality improves significantly as a result.Second,people's health conditions also become better and better with the development of national health care systems. When they become richer and richer, they care more about personal health conditions. Third, medical sciences also develop at a fantastic speed,and it is much safer for mothersto give birth.We are happy to see that things are becoming better and better nowadays.We can imagine that people will live longer and the infant mortality will again fall.

Compared with a film, TV is much cheaper and more convenient--you don't have to leave your house at all.Apart from that, you have many choices while watching TV, but a film concentrates on a certain topic.However, there are still a number of people who enjoy going to the cinema,generally for two reasons. On the one hand, the audio-visual effect of a cinema is much better. On the other hand, in a quiet and comfortable place such as a cinema,you can concentrate on what you are watching and get the most of the film.作业:2002年06月英语四级写作试题Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Student Use of Computers.You should write at least 120words,and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below:181614121086420三维柱形图 11990199520001.上图所示为1990年、1995年、2002年某校大学生使用计算机的情况,请描述其变化;2.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);3.你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。

第一节 图表作文的类型图表作文可分为两大类:表作文和图作文。
●图表作文表格(Table )可以使大量数据系统化,便于阅读、比较。
用表格表达的信息具体准确,而且表格中的各项均按一定规律排列。
阅读表格时要注意找出表格中各个项目的相互关系,表格中各个项目的变化规律。
●图作文图作文又可分为三种:圆形图作文、曲线图作文和条状图作文。
(1)圆形图作文圆形图(Pie chart)也称为饼状图或圆面分割图。
圆形图因为比较形象和直观,各部分空间大小差别容易分辨,所以常用来表示总量和各分量之间的百分比关系。
整个圆表示总量,楔形块表示分量。
有时圆形图还有数值表,两者结合可把各分量表示得更准确、清楚。
例如:(2)曲线图作文曲线图(Line graph)也称为线性图或坐标图。
曲线图最适合表示两个变量之间关系的发展过程和趋势。
一般来说,曲线所呈现的形状比某一点所代表的变量的值更有意义。
曲线图有横轴和纵轴。
一般先看横轴所代表的数量或时间等,然后再看纵轴所显示的意义。
同时必须找出线条所反映的最高或最低的变化。
例如:(3)条形图作文条形图(Bar graph)也称为立柱图或圆柱图。
条形图由宽度相同但长度不同的条块代表不同的量。
当要比较几个项目或量时,常用不同颜色来区分。
条形图主要用来表示:1)同一项目在不同时间的量;2)同一时间不同项目的量。
阅读条形图时,要先看图例,再看横轴、纵横各代表什么量,每一个刻度所代表的值是多少,最后找出图中各长条所表示的数据及各长条间的相互关系。
例如:第二节图表作文的出题形式我们先来看几个四(六)级考试中的图表作文的例子。

第三节 图表作文的写作要领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。
●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)在写作图表作文时,首先要仔细观察并认真分析图表的含义,以及题中所给出的有关信息,比如,作文标题,英文提纲、英文提示、英语关键词等,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;在分析图表时,要抓住与主题有关的信息,要发现数据呈现的规律,要充分利用图表中的图形、数据等来说明主题。
但是注意不要过多地引用数据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。
原则:A .关键是要写清楚。
B .不要罗列所有数据,找出主要点;要归纳总结;C. 概括一些内在关联性或原因推测作为总结第四节 图表作文常用词汇与表达方式●文章开头常用词汇1.图表类型:table 表格; chart 图表; diagram 图表或图解,示意图; graph 图表, 曲线图; column/ bar chart 柱状图; pie graph 饼图2. 描述:show; describe; illustrate; can be seen from; clear; appear; reveal 显示; represent 表现, 描绘3.内容:figure 数字; statistics [用作复] 统计数字[资料];number; percentage; proportion (the ~ of A to B) ● 表示数据上升:increase, rise, ascend, soar, surge (激增), go up, climb, mount, level up下降: decrease, fall, drop, descend, decline, reduce ,lessen, level down平稳: stable, steady, remain steady/stable; /maintain/keep/be the same as/similar to ; little/hardly any /no change波动: fluctuate, fluctuation, rise and fall, up and down占: occupy , take up , account for而: while, however, whereas , on the other hand 相比: by/in contrast, on the contrary, likewise, compared with 最高点: the highest, the top, the summit, the peak最低点: bottom, least, rock bottom 最低点例句:Prices have hit rock bottom.
