英語二作文總結(jié)

PAGEPAGE4圖表作文（一）第一節(jié)圖表作文的類型圖表作文可分為兩大類：表作文和圖作文。表作文表格(Table)可以使大量數(shù)據(jù)系統(tǒng)化，便于閱讀、比較。表格常由標(biāo)題(Title)、表頭(Boxhead)(表格的第一行)、側(cè)目(Stub)(表格左邊的第一列)和主體(Body)部分(表格的其余部分)等部分組成。如下表：用表格表達的信息具體準(zhǔn)確，而且表格中的各項均按一定規(guī)律排列。閱讀表格時要注意找出表格中各個項目的相互關(guān)系，表格中各個項目的變化規(guī)律。例如，上面的表格中的數(shù)字說明，和1978年相比，1983年大學(xué)入學(xué)的人數(shù)在增加，而小學(xué)的入學(xué)人數(shù)在減少。搞清楚這些變化規(guī)律也就讀懂了表格的內(nèi)容。圖作文圖作文又可分為三種：圓形圖作文、曲線圖作文和條狀圖作文。(1)圓形圖作文圓形圖(Piechart)也稱為餅狀圖或圓面分割圖。圓形圖因為比較形象和直觀，各部分空間大小差別容易分辨，所以常用來表示總量和各分量之間的百分比關(guān)系。整個圓表示總量，楔形塊表示分量。有時圓形圖還有數(shù)值表，兩者結(jié)合可把各分量表示得更準(zhǔn)確、清楚。例如：ThisisapiechartoftheaverageweeklyexpenditureofafamilyinGreatBritain.Ascanbeseefromthechart,themainexpenditureofanaverageBritishfamilyisspentonfood,whichaccountsfor25%ofitstotalexpenditure.Thenexttwosignificantexpendingitemsaretransportandhousing,whichare15%and12%respectively.Ifwetakeintoaccountclothingandfootwear,whichmakesup10%,thefouressentialsoflife,thatis,food,transport,housing,andclothingandfootwear,amountto62%ofthetotalexpenditure.(2)曲線圖作文曲線圖(Linegraph)也稱為線性圖或坐標(biāo)圖。曲線圖最適合表示兩個變量之間關(guān)系的發(fā)展過程和趨勢。一般來說，曲線所呈現(xiàn)的形狀比某一點所代表的變量的值更有意義。曲線圖有橫軸和縱軸。一般先看橫軸所代表的數(shù)量或時間等，然后再看縱軸所顯示的意義。同時必須找出線條所反映的最高或最低的變化。例如：這個曲線圖的橫軸代表1990年的不同的月份，縱軸代表交通事故的數(shù)量。從交通事故曲線圖上可知，前八個月的交通事故的數(shù)量有升有降。曲線圖在八月份升到了最高點(39)，此后一直呈下降的趨勢，十二月份降到了最低點(16)?？梢姡?990年的交通事故的數(shù)量總體上呈下降的趨勢。(3)條形圖作文條形圖(Bargraph)也稱為立柱圖或圓柱圖。條形圖由寬度相同但長度不同的條塊代表不同的量。當(dāng)要比較幾個項目或量時，常用不同顏色來區(qū)分。條形圖主要用來表示：1)同一項目在不同時間的量;2)同一時間不同項目的量。閱讀條形圖時，要先看圖例，再看橫軸、縱橫各代表什么量，每一個刻度所代表的值是多少，最后找出圖中各長條所表示的數(shù)據(jù)及各長條間的相互關(guān)系。例如：左邊的條形圖的橫軸代表時間，縱軸代表期望壽命(LifeExpectancy)，這一條形圖想要體現(xiàn)的是同一項目(期望壽命)在不同時間的量。右邊的條形圖的橫軸也是代表時間，縱軸是代表嬰兒的死亡率(InfantMortality)，這一條形圖想要體現(xiàn)的也是同一項目(嬰兒的死亡率)在不同時間的量。左邊的條形圖表明1990年的人均期望壽命比1960年的人均期望壽命長20歲，而1990年的嬰兒死亡率比1960年的嬰兒死亡率下降了50%。第二節(jié)圖表作文的出題形式例1題目：ChangesinPeople’sDietStudythefollowingtablecarefullyandyourcompositionmustbebasedontheinformationgiveninthetable.Writethreeparagraphsto:1.statethechangesinpeople’sdiet(飲食)inthepastfiveyears;2.givepossiblereasonsforthechanges;3.drawyourownconclusions.Youshouldquoteasfewfiguresaspossible.例2題目：CarAccidentsDeclininginWaltonCityRememberthatyourcompositionmustbewrittenaccordingtothefollowingoutline;1.Riseandfalloftherateofcaraccidentsasindicatedbythegraph;2.Possiblereason(s)forthedeclineofcaraccidentsinthecity;3.Yourpredictionsofwhatwillhappenthisyear.Yourcompositionshouldbenolessthan120wordsandyoushouldquoteasfewfiguresaspossible.例3Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopicHealthGaininDevelopingCountries.Yourcompositionmustbenolessthan120wordsandyoushouldbaseyourcompositiononthefollowinginstructions(giveninChinese):1.以下圖為依據(jù)描述發(fā)展中國家的期望壽命(lifeexpectancy)和嬰兒死亡率(infantmortality)的變化情況2.說明引起變化的各種原因從以上例子可見，圖表作文一般在題目中給出作文的標(biāo)題和一個或幾個統(tǒng)計表格、圓形圖、曲線圖或條形圖，有時還用英文或中文提綱的形式給出提示，要求我們：1)用文字描述圖表，客觀解釋圖表中所傳遞的信息，并找出某種規(guī)律或趨勢;2)就圖表中所反映的某種趨勢或問題分析其原因或后果。第三節(jié)圖表作文的寫作要領(lǐng)圖表作文著重說明事實，常常是通過對圖表中所反映的具體數(shù)據(jù)的說明、分析、比較，對某種事物或現(xiàn)象的事實或變化情況等加以說明，并提出結(jié)論或看法。因此，圖表作文常常采用議論文體的寫作方法。寫好圖表作文，關(guān)鍵在于能否讀懂圖表中所提供的信息，把握各信息間的聯(lián)系，用準(zhǔn)確流暢的語言把這一信息表達出來，并就這一信息發(fā)表自己的看法。圖表作文的寫作步驟寫圖表作文時，要注意遵循以下步驟：1)認(rèn)真分析圖表的含義，弄清圖表中所含的信息及不同信息間的關(guān)系;流程圖或過程圖：flowchart/sequencediagram程序圖：processing/proceduresdiagram2、常用的描述用法Thetable/chartdiagram/graphshows（that）Accordingtothetable/chartdiagram/graphAs（is）showninthetable/chartdiagram/graphAscanbeseenfromthetable/chart/diagram/graph/figures，figures/statisticsshows（that）……Itcanbeseenfromthefigures/statisticsWecanseefromthefigures/statisticsItisclearfromthefigures/statisticsItisapparentfromthefigures/statisticstable/chart/diagram/graphfigures（that）……table/chart/diagram/graphshows/describes/illustrateshow……3、圖表中的數(shù)據(jù)（Data）具體表達法數(shù)據(jù)（Data）在某一個時間段固定不變：fixedintime在一系列的時間段中轉(zhuǎn)變：changesovertime持續(xù)變化的data在不同情況下：增加：increase/raise/rise/goup……減少：decrease/growdown/drop/fall……波動：fluctuate/rebound/undulate/wave……穩(wěn)定：remainstable/stabilize/leveloff……最常用的兩種表達法：動詞+副詞形式（Verb+Adverbform）形容詞+名詞形式（Adjective+Nounform）二、相關(guān)常用詞組1、主章開頭圖表類型：table、chart、diagramgraph、columnchart、piegraph描述：show、describe、illustrate、canbeseenfrom、clear、apparent、reveal、represent內(nèi)容：figure、statistic、number、percentage、proportion2、表示數(shù)據(jù)變化的單詞或者詞組rapid/rapidly迅速的，飛快的，險峻的dramatic/dramatically戲劇性的，生動的significant/significantly有意義的，重大的，重要的sharp/sharply銳利的，明顯的，急劇的steep/steeply急劇升降的steady/steadily穩(wěn)固的，堅定不移的gradual/gradually漸進的，逐漸的slow/slowly緩慢的，不活躍的slight/slightly輕微的、略微地stable/stably穩(wěn)定的3、其它在描述中的常用到的詞significantchanges圖中一些較大變化noticeabletrend明顯趨勢duringthesameperiod在同一時期grow/grew增長distribute分布，區(qū)別unequally不相等地inthecaseofadv.在……的情況下intermsof/inrespectof/regarding在……方面incontrast相反，大不相同governmentpolicy政府政策marketforces市場規(guī)率measuren.尺寸，方法，措施v.估量，調(diào)節(jié)forecastn.先見，預(yù)見v.預(yù)測考研英語應(yīng)用文模板祝賀信[105words]AletterofCongratulationDear______,Goodnewstravelsfast!IknowhowhardyouhavebeenworkingandIamveryproudofyouforyourachievement.Pleaseacceptmysincerecongratulationstoyour______.Youmaycannotimaginehowexc
