In recent years, there has been a debate about whether the use of modern technology increases or decreases people's creativity. I believe that modern creativity has generally allowed people to become more creative.
结尾段：
图表通过对具体数据的对照和对比来说明问题， 因此在结尾部分要写出对照对比的趋势，以及 从这个趋势中得出的一个结论。图表写作这部 分的写法与任务2 完全不同。它的信息完全来 自图表，不能加进任何自己的见解，不需要分 析评论。
文章内容
与任务2写作一样，图表写作也要紧紧围绕任务 去完成。也要依据题目提供的已知信息进行写 作。与任务2不同的是图表作文的信息载体不是 文字而是图表，考生将图表承载的信息用文字 表达出来。在转化的过程中很容易遗漏信息。 所以写完后的审查就显得更加重要。
评分标准 和任务2一样，评分观测点也有四项： Task achievement （ task response task 2） Coherence and cohesion Lexical resources Grammatical range and accuracy
首先让我们搞明确task achievement 要求完成什 么。 1) summerize the general features/trends 2) select important information 3) compare and contrast data
And finally, let's look at newspaper sales. It has a tendency that the higher the rate at which a country has sold newspapers, the lower its adult illiteracy rate is. But the Bahamas is an exception. Though its adult illiteracy rate is the second low among the seven countries, it has not got a comparable high rate of newspaper sale.

Many people believe that the increasing use of modern technology at work and in leisure is reducing peopel's creativity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
任务1：图表写作 要求考生在20分钟内完成150字以上的短文。
以考核图表为主。主要有: 曲线图 line chart, graph 柱状图 bar chart 饼状图 pie chart 表格等 table 偶尔也会有流程图flow chart、地图 geography和示 意图diagram/figure
This new-found creativity is not only limited to scientists and technicians. Computers allow people to express their creativity by writing books and articles to be published online. Other people have discovered their artistic sides through using relatively easy-to-use computer prorgrammes such as Photoshop. We can even see this creativity in computer games. Games such as "World of Warcraft" enable people to develop online characters using their creativity to accomplish tasks.
I believe this firstly because technological developments allow people to produce further developments. The development of the telegraph and the telephone led to the development of radio and the mobile phone. Radio led many people to become creative-finding new uses for this medium and allowing people to share music. Since the mobile phone developed, people have been looking at ways of using it. We can now send text messages around the world and even use our mobile phones to pay for things.
图表写作且记住一定要客观，只写图表上要描述的信 息，而不能主动解释背后的原因或深层次的含义。 We are required to describe rather than explain. 也不要面面俱到，机械地记录图表内容，犹如流水账。 Example: The bar chart below shows the marriage rates of people at the age of 25 in English from 1950 to 1980. Write a report for a university lecturer describirng the information shown below. (the green is male, the red is female)
主体段： 主体段描写单方向的趋势，根据趋势的分类来决定 主体段应该划分成几个自然段，例如一图表讲美 国、澳大利亚、日本、英国四个国家的消费情况。 在主体段落中，每一个单方向的趋势都应当用一 句话来概括描述，这句话不一定要涉及具体数据， 是概括性的描述，代表某一段的总的方向。就像 任务2中主题句的写法。接下去就要有数据的支撑。 相当任务2中的例证。所以图表写作主体段必须有 两个要素：单方面的趋势和数据支持。
Other people do not use computers in creative ways. For example, they may play games that do not enhance creativity, knowledge or skill. Having said that, it is not neccessary that we do something for reasons than simple pleasure. After all, the manufacturers of modern technologies constantly tell us that one of the main purposes of modern technolgy is to make our lives more pleasurable.

文章结构
首段 ： 图表作文的首段必须交待三个要素：图表研究的 时间段、研究的对象和研究所采用的数据形式 （是具体的数字还是百分比）。 应当将这三个内容用一句话说清楚。实际上就是 把题目中描述图表的那句话用自己的语言说出 来并拓展一下即可。首段不要写得过长，两句 话比较合适。

However, there are people who use technology in ways that do not develop creativity. It is widely reported that students in many countries are using the Internet to plagiarise---to use other people's work and present it as thier own. It is often claimed that the ease with which music and films can be downloaded for free may dissuade producers from making them.

The illiteracy rates also differ considerably. The highest illiteracy rates are for Brazil (16.8%) and Jamaica (15.2% ), whilst Argentina has the lowest rate, at 3.6%. Mexico (10.5%) and Surinam (7%) lie in the middle. Surprisingly, the adult illetercy rate for Cuba and the Bahamas is the same, at 4.4%.
