英语四级图表+图画作文讲解及参考范文
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______.

英语图表作文写作方法
英语图表作文写作方法一、图表作文写作模式图表作文是一种以图表的形式出现，提示的信息隐含在图表之中。
考生必须先仔细研读图表，使图表中的数据、曲线、图形等成为与短文标题相关并能为我所用的有意义的信息。
读图时务必要把握表层信息和深层含义这两方面的内容，主要考的是考生对图表深层次信息（原因、根源、可能导致的后果等）的挖掘和阐述。
1. 图表的类型1)泛指一份数据图表：a data graph/chart/diagram/illustration/table2)饼图：pie chart3)直方图或柱形图：bar chart / histogram4)趋势曲线图：line chart / curve diagram5)表格图：table6)流程图或过程图：flow chart / sequence diagram7)程序图：processing/procedures diagram8)统计表格：table2. 图表作文的一般要求性A．通常采用下列统一的标准提纲:1) 现状——图表揭示的表面变化2) 原因分析/导致问题——引起变化的深层次社会根源/该变化带来的种种问题3) 启示/建议——从图表所体现的变化趋势中得到的启示/提出个人建议B．解析图表步骤：在图表作文审题的时候，关键是拿起笔来圈定上面的重要信息、重要规律、重要数据、重要分配，描述图表并不意味着要把整个图表的一切信息包含在你的文章中，要传达的信息一定是最重要的信息。
C. 图表解析段落的内容结构：1)开头，可用笼统的一句话来交代，根据图表所示某个方面在某个时间段内发生了某种变化。
2)中间，可用两到三句话具体分析图表中显示的变化，描述单方面趋势（分支观点），数据分析（论证）。
抓住主要的显著的变化进行描述，相近的类别归为一类进行描述。
独特的类别要交代，以免漏掉重要信息；不是每个数据都要写，重要数据一定要提到；不要在所有数据间来回对照对比；3)结论，可用一句话简单再概括图表体现的变化趋势；不要涉及个人看法。

2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，同时也方便考官阅卷。
接下来再分类描述每个阶段的specifictrend，同时导入数据作为分类的依据。
3趋势说明。
即，对曲线的连续变化进行说明，如上升、下降、波动、持平。
以时间为比较基础的应抓住“变化”：上升、下降、或是波动。
题中对两个或两个以上的变量进行描述时应在此基础上进行比较，如变量多于两个应进行分类或有侧重的比较。
4极点说明。
即对图表中最高的、最低的点单独进行说明。
不以时间为比较基础的应注意对极点的描述。
5交点说明。
即对图表当中多根曲线的交点进行对比说明。

I strongly believe that this modern development is largely detrimental to culture and traditions worldwide.A country’s history, language and ethos are all inextricably bound up in its manufactured artefacts. If the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of the world continues, these bland packages might one day completely oust the traditional objects of a nation, which would be a loss of richness and diversity in the world, as well as the sad disappearance of t he manifestations of a place’s character. What would a Japanese tea ceremony be without its specially crafted teapot, or a Fijian kava ritual without its bowl made from a certain type of tree bark?Let us not forget either that traditional products, whether these be medicines, cosmetics, toy, clothes, utensils or food, provide employment for local people. The spread of multinational products can often bring in its wake a loss of jobs, as people urn to buying the new brand,perhaps thinking it more glamorous than the one they are used to. This eventually puts old-school craftspeople out of work.Finally, tourism numbers may also be affected, as travelers become disillusioned with finding every place just the same as the one they visited previously. To see the same products in shops the world over is boring, and does not impel visitors to open their wallets in the same way that trinkets or souvenirs unique to the particular area too.Some may argue that all people are entitled to have access to the same products, but I say that local objects suit local conditions best, and that faceless uniformity worldwide is an unwelcome and dreary prospect.Heres my full answer:The line graphs show the average monthly amount that parents in Britain spent on their children’s s porting activities and the number of British children who took part in three different sports from 2008 to is clear that parents spent more money each year on their children’s participation in sports over the six-year period. In terms of the number of children taking part, football was significantly more popular than athletics and 2008, British parents spent an average of around ￡20 per month on their children’s sporting activities. Parents’ spending on children’s sports increased gradually over the followi ng six years, and by 2014 the average monthly amount had risen to just over ￡ at participation numbers, in 2008 approximately 8 million British children played football, while only 2 million children were enrolled in swimming clubs and less than 1 million practised athletics. The figures for football participation remained relatively stable over the following 6 years.

• Each year thousands upon thousands of graduates flood the job market, waving their college diplomas and certificates, expecting better jobs in their majors, only to be frustrated and disappointed. According to the charts, only 58% percent of college graduates in 1992 could find jobs in their specialties, compared with 89% percent in 1981 when China had its first college graduates after the Cultural Revolution. Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?

• Rising Divorce Rates in China
Sample
In recent years the divorce rate in China has increased drastically. According to a 1992 Census Bureau report on marriage and divorce in some big cities, during the past five years, the divorce rate has increased as much as it had in the entire previous twenty years. In 1967 there were only 0.5 divorced persons for every 1000 married people, and in 1987 the rate was 7 per thousand, but in 1992 the rate jumped to 15 divorced per 1000 married.
英语图表类作文写作方法
英语图表类作文写作方法英文回答：When it comes to writing an essay on a chart or graph, there are several key points to consider. First and foremost, it is important to analyze the data presented in the chart and understand its main trends or patterns. This will help you form a clear and concise thesis statement for your essay.For example, if the chart shows the population growthin a certain country over the past decade, you can identify the main trends, such as a steady increase or a sudden decline. This will serve as the basis for your thesis statement, which can be something like "The population of XYZ country has experienced a significant growth over the past decade."Once you have established your thesis statement, it is important to provide supporting evidence for your argument.This can be done by referring to specific data points or trends shown in the chart. For instance, you can mentionthat the population increased by a certain percentage each year or that there was a spike in population growth duringa specific period.Furthermore, it is crucial to provide analysis and interpretation of the data. This can involve explaining the reasons behind the trends shown in the chart or making predictions about future developments. For instance, youcan discuss the factors that contributed to the population growth, such as improved healthcare or immigration, and speculate on whether this trend will continue in the future.In addition to analyzing the data, it is important to structure your essay in a logical and coherent manner. This can be achieved by organizing your ideas into paragraphsand using appropriate transition words and phrases. For example, you can start a new paragraph by saying "Another important aspect to consider is..." or "On the other hand,it is worth noting that..."Lastly, it is important to conclude your essay by summarizing your main points and restating your thesis statement. This will provide a sense of closure and ensure that your essay is well-rounded. For example, you can conclude by saying "In conclusion, the chart clearly illustrates the significant population growth in XYZ country over the past decade, and it is likely that this trend will continue in the future."中文回答：写一篇关于图表或图形的文章时，有几个关键点需要考虑。
