1、图表作文和应用文图表作文和应用文1. 对比分析,寻找数据的变化规律 图表作文通常要论述某个论点,因此,所提供的数据资料一般都是有规律的.但这些数据是一些零散的信息,需要我们总结和归纳.关键就是对比数据之间的关系,包括横向和纵向的比较:从横向看,同一类(如事物A)数据随时间变化是升还是降,升降的幅度多大;从纵向看,不同类别(如事物A、B、C)的变化是相似还是相反,从中寻找规律.以91.6 CET-4: Changes in Peoples Diet in China 为例(表1). 2. 筛选数据 图表提供的资料数据是否需要在文中一一列出?应选择或忽略哪些数据?引用数据的目的在于更有力地阐述论点
2、,就像论据有主次,数据也应选择具有典型性和代表性的数据一样,不必一一列出.以表1为例,列出1986-1990每一年grain的消费量只会显得繁琐、重点不突出. 试试这句话:The percentage of grain consumption decreased gradually, from 49 per cent in 1986 to 45 per cent in 1990. 简明扼要地说明变化趋势是递减,两端数据49%和45%足已说明变化趋势.又如milk和meat的变化,都说明同一观点:人们的经济收入增加了,生活水平提高了,能够消费得起价格较高的肉奶食品. 这样,描述milk的变化后,
3、就不必重复meat的变化.简单一句The same is the case with meat.即可.或者直接计算出增加值或减少值,如:The amount of grain in peoples diet has decreased by 4%. However, the amount of milk has increased 3% and that of meat has increased 4%. 总之,挑选有说服力的数据,主要是首尾两端数字或其增减值. 3. 强调数据间的关系,突出变化 发现数据的变化规律,引用了典型数据,还须进一步强调突出这种变化,使论证更有力.以 Student
4、Use of Computer为例,有学生写到:But in 2000, students spent nearly 20 hours per week on the computer. This number was ten times that of 1990 and five times that of 1995. 像这样用倍数或比例更能说明问题,给人留下深刻印象. 4. 使用主题句 无论写作或阅读都强调主题句(topic sentence).主题句是能高度概括文章段落中心内容或主题思想的句子,通常位于段首或段尾.图表作文的主题句最好放在段首,使其既能提纲挚领又能起到衔接的作用,使文章思
5、路清晰,过渡自然. 通常第一段的主题句都表示发生了某种变化.例如: (1) Great changes have been taking place in (eg. peoples diet, student use of computer.) from (eg. 1995 to 2000). (91.6, 2002.6 CET-4) (2) In recent years, the time students using computers has increased greatly. (2002.6 CET-4) 第二段分析引起变化的因素,主题句通常表示引起这种变化的原因有几点.例如: (
6、1) There are many factors that have stimulated this huge change. (2) Such changes are mainly caused by two reasons. 第三段总结归纳或提出问题,很简短.例如: (1) In short, with the improvement of peoples living standards, changes in their diet will be greater and more obvious. (91.6 CET-4: 预测未来变化趋势) (2) There is sure to

Taking the advantages and disadvantages together into consideration, I believe.范文As is shown in the table, there have been great changes in peoples diet between 1986 and 1990. From the table, we can find that grain, fo
11、rmerly the main food of most Chinese people, is now playing a less important role in peoples diet. And the same goes for fruit and vegetables. On the other hand, the consumption of high-nutrition food such as milk and meat has increased rapidly. What has caused these changes? There are mainly three
12、reasons. (6) First, people are much wealthier than before. (7) With higher income, they can afford to buy nutritious foods. (8) Second, people have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health. (9) Lack of certain amount of meat or milk, for example, will result in poor health. (10) Fi
13、nally, owing to the economic reform, meat and milk, which were scarce in the past, are produced in large quantities.(11) Although milk and meat are important to ones health, eating too much rich food may result in obesity and may other diseases. (12)Therefore, people should not only eat a lot of mil
14、k and meat, but also enough grain, fruit and vegetable for the sake of their health.We can see from this chart that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in 20
15、00, the number soared to 20 hours. Obviously, computers are becoming more and more popular.Why do Students nowadays tend to use computers more and more? There are several reasons for this. (6)First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. (7) Also, the fast development of the Internet enlar
16、ges our demands for using computers. (8) We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. (9)Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them. (10)Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. (11
17、)The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. (12)It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.应用文应用文是大学英语四级写作考试的一个重要组成部分,形式包括书信、启事、通知、演讲等。应用文较之一般说明文和议论文,与生活、社会联系更紧密,格式、行文习惯更有规矩。无论使用哪种应用文,都必须按其各自规范化的约定俗成的格式
