考研英語二大作文部分考點相對比較固定,只要掌握寫作技巧,背過高分模板句型,就可以“牢牢地”抓到分?jǐn)?shù),是考研英語穩(wěn)定得分的“壓艙石”。
所以,今天咱們就來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,我們首先寫一句話描述標(biāo)題。模板句型如下:
The bar chart(柱狀圖)/ line chart(折線圖)/ 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,讓我們來實踐練習(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)的圖表類型并填入對應(yīng)信息就可以完成首段首句,是不是非常簡單?
接下來我們寫首段的第二句話(描述圖表)
英語二大作文有4種圖表類型:柱狀圖、折線圖、餅狀圖、表格
我們可以將它們劃分成3種類型:
-
A類型:描述變化(適合柱狀圖、折線圖)
-
B類型:描述占比(適合狀圖)
-
C類型:描述行列(適合表格)
1
A類型
首先,讓我們來看看A類型的寫作方法,A類型述描述數(shù)字的變化,適合描述柱狀圖和折線圖。
A類型模板句(描述變化): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that the 主題詞 number of 對象1 increased/decreased rapidly/slowly from 數(shù)字1 to 數(shù)字2, while that of 對象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“對象1”(developing countries)。圖中發(fā)展中國家增長迅速,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“對象2”(developing countries)。圖中的發(fā)達(dá)國家增長緩慢,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,再加上剛才我們寫的第1句話,這樣我們就完成了首段的寫作任務(wù)(圖表描述)。
A類型除了適合描述柱狀圖之外,也適合描述折線圖,接下來讓我們看看如果把A類型的模板句應(yīng)用到折線圖中。
例2(折線圖,2017年真題)
填入“對象1”(museums),因為博物館增長緩慢,所以選擇increased slowly,填入“數(shù)字1和數(shù)字2”(from 4100 to 4600),填入“對象2”(visitors),因為參觀人數(shù)增長迅速,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類型
接下來,讓我們看看B類型,B類型描述數(shù)字所占的百分比,適合描述餅狀圖:
B類型模板句(描述占比): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that 對象1 has the largest proportion, accounting for %. The second largest proportion can be seen in 對象2, making up %, followed by 對象3,對象4,對象5 with %, % and % respectively.
例3(餅狀圖,2010年真題)
填入“對象1”(learning knowledge),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(59.5%),填入“對象2”(killing time),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(21.3%),填入“對象3和對象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類型
最后,讓我們來看看C類型,C類型描述表格的行和列中的相關(guān)信息:
C類型模板句(描述行列): According to the information given in the diagram, we can see that 對象1 has the largest rate, accounting for %, while the lowest proportion can be seen in 對象2, making up %.
例4(表格,2012年真題)
填入“對象1”(employees aged above 50),填入相應(yīng)的百分比(40%),填入“對象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,只要掌握A, B, C三種類型的模板句型,無論在考試中考察柱狀圖、折線圖、餅狀圖或者表格,我們都可以應(yīng)對自如。
各位考生,請認(rèn)真總結(jié)以上寫作模板,通過進(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!
