一．数据类图表



1.1 Pie chart(圆形图/饼状图/圆面分割图 ) 它是比较形象和直观的一种图形，此图形反映的是整体与部 分的关系，整个圆表示总量，楔形块表示分量。有时圆形图还有 数值表，两者结合可把各分量表示得更准确、清楚。 通常以百分数的形式表现出来，所以描写重点是图中的比例 构成和最具特点的扇面。描写的时候注意最大或最小的扇面，对 于各扇面数据的描写最好以从大到小的顺序来进行。 This is a pie chart of the average weekly expenditure of a family in Great Britain. As can be see from the chart, the main expenditure of an average British family is spent on food, which accounts for 25% of its total expenditure. The next two significant expending items are transport and housing, which are 15% and 12% respectively. If we take into account clothing and footwear, which makes up 10%, the four essentials of life, that is, food, transport, housing, and clothing and footwear, amount to 62% of the total expenditure.

1.4表格(Table)



表格常由标题（Title）、表头（Box-head）（表格 的第一行）、侧目（Stub）（表格左边的第一列）和 主体（Body）部分（表格的其余部分）等部分组成。 表格中的各项均按一定规律排列。阅读表格时要注意 找出表格中各个项目的相互关系，表格中各个项目的变 化规律 。 表格中的数字较多，但是数字间的规律性却很强，所 以可以通过归纳和突出典型数据的思路来分析。把变化 趋势或特征相似的几项归为一类，这样就使复杂的数据 简单化。至于典型的数据，可以通过横向和纵向两个方 面进行比较来获得，同时留意最大或最小的数据。

1.1.1 饼状图的写作思路 1.审题分析三步法： Step 1：观察共有几张饼图，以及它们之间的关系是什么 (一般说来，雅思图表题中极少见到单饼图)； Step 2：观察每张饼图中有哪几个区域，以及各个区域分别 代表什么； Step 3：观察单个饼图中各区域间的百分比差异，以及相同 区域在各个饼图间的百分比的比较或发展。 2.选词和万能句 在饼图中，表示百分比的句子是必不可少的。一般表示百分比 有两种比较容易掌握的句型。 1）占据 …be / form / comprise / make up / constitute / cover / represent / account for/ amount to … …be shared by… 2）百分数 Proportion / rate / percentage



3）比例，倍数 a quarter of… half of… a majority of… A has something in common with B A shares some similarity with B The difference between A and B lies in… Double (2倍), triple (3倍), quadruple (4倍), (v, n, adj.) …be twice as +adj.+ as ….. …more than ____ times as +adj.+ as ….. fourfold( adv., adj.)=four times as much as 4）描述 It is clear that the most (adj.) ____ is A, which accounts for __% of all ____ . B is the next largest (adj.) ____ , __% lower than A of all ____ and followed closely by C . The above three items of ____ take up about __% of the __% By contrast, D, E and F make up the smallest percentage of total ____ , which are __%, __% and __% , respectively. The regions can be divided into two groups: one where … and the other where the reverse is the case.

What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life? In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favored by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.
