今天的主题依旧是“柱图”。以2019年3月2日的真题为例,2019年3月2日真题,国内A类:柱图
The chart below shows the percentage of expenditures in different aspects in the UK in 1957 and 2007.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
柱形图:数据之间的比较关系(高低=大小)
关键概念:
同项目不同时间:(以housing为例)1957年对比2007年。
同时间不同项目:以蓝色(1957年为例)housing对比transport.
数据的分组,两种方式:
两色柱子比高低;
两色柱子差异大小:比如人为设定同一项目内两色的柱子的差异达到或超过5%就是差异大,反之则差异小。
The bars illustrate the percentage of UK households’ spending in different categories in two historical years, which are 1957 and 2007.
按照第二种分组方式来写作:
Housing, food, drinks, and clothing are the four categories in which people did not spend obviously more in one year and obviously less in the other year. [注意主语选择,注意定语从句选择] In these categories, the difference is within 5 percent. It is noteworthy that there is no difference between the two years in terms of people’s expenditure on tobacco. The spending on housing (a quarter or more) is particularly notable, as it was the far larger expense in both years.
[如果复制上一段的句型:] Transport, fuel, and other goods and services are the three categories in which people spent obviously less in one year and far more in the other year. In these categories, the difference is 5 percent.
[当然不能复制上一段的句型,改一改。以及丰富一下细节信息:] In the categories of transport, fuel, and other goods and services, the difference between the two years is 5 percent. To be specific, people spent proportionally more in 2007 than in 1957 in terms of the use of fuel and purchasing other goods and services, and there was an opposite situation in terms of the expenditure on transport.
描述当时的情况的时候,用了过去时。描述纯粹数据大小关系的时候,用了现在时。
Overall, the difference between the two years varies from category to category, and the enormous spending on housing stands out.
中规中矩的写法,主要突破句型、语法、词汇。
