写作图表作文时应该注意的几个方面： 1. 要对图表作简要的主题介绍。 2. 切忌不加详细分析、罗列数字。要进 行横向、纵向的比较，寻找规律性的信 息，通过计算找出部分与整体、部分与 部分之间的关系，如增减的绝对数字、 百分比、分数或倍数等。 3. 分析原因，寻找规律，把握主题。 4. 根据分析所得信息得出结论。
What contributed to these changes? I think the reasons are as follows. To start with, with the rapid development of economy, people earn by far more money than they used to. Thus, people are able to afford traveling expenses. Secondly, people think it important to get well-informed about the outside world in this new era when everything is on the move. Traveling, of course, is a sure way to achieve this goal. What's more, in this competitive society, people are usually under great stress. However, it is not difficult to find traveling an effective way to relieve people's stress and get relaxation. Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to their health but also peace of mind.
In conclusion, people prefer to go traveling rather than stay at home during holidays for various reasons. Moreover, it seems that this trend will last in the foreseeable future.
1. 用一个主题句或引言段，综述 全图表的中心信息（也就是考生 在审阅图表后形成的结论）。
2. 列举三组左右的相关数据来说 明或证实主题句或引言段所提及 的要点。分析产生这一图表结论 的原因或联想推测可能引起的后 果。
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
写图表作文，并不是单纯地用语言文字 把图表里的所有数字信息一一摊摆，逐 条列出，而是利用这些数据，经常还得 筛选，将该图表所要说明的主要问题阐 述清楚。就这个意义上说，图表作文属 于说明文。如果图表信息是用来论证某 一观点，则图表作文属于议论文。因此， 图表作文在结构处理和写法上与说明文 或议论文是相同的。它通常必须：
changes? I think the reasons are as follows. To start with, ④______. Secondly, ⑤______ . What’s more, ⑥ _______. Last but not least, ⑦________. 第三段: In conclusion, ⑧_________. Moreover, ⑨ ________.

How People Spent Their Holidays
