如何看图表写英语短文
图
表作为书面表达的一种信息提示方式,显得简洁明了,正被越来越多的各级各类英语考试所采用.但是,在阅卷中,我们发现情况并不理想,问题主要集中在三个方
面:首先,书面表达能力弱,不能用英语描述图表的数据及其变化;其次,读不懂图表,不能从图表中提取有效信息;最后,不能有效地分析数据,得出相关的结论
和提出合理的建议.
在表达方式上,图表类作文有别于其他类型,它要频繁描述具体数据、进行数据比较,并说明数据变化.教师有必要归纳于数据有关的一些词语和句型,进行集中教学.掌握这些的数据表达方式是写好这类作文的前提.常见的表达有:
1、熟悉四类图表的英文名称:表格(table)、条形图(bar
chart)、曲线图(graph)和饼形分析图(pie
chart).此外,“如图所示”是写这类作文中的一个常用短语,它的表达方式有以下几种:
⑴As the chart
shows, …
⑵According to the
chart, …
⑶As is seen from
the chart, …
⑷As we can see from
the chart, …
2、在表达时,可以对具体的数据进行一些处理,用另外一种表达方式来代替,避免一篇小短文中出现过多的数据或者相同的句型结构,如:一次有关阅读兴趣调查结果是:50%的学生喜欢新闻;25%的学生喜欢故事;14%的学生喜欢幽默;11%的学生喜欢推理小说.(Half
of the students love news. A quarter of them are fond of stories.
14% enjoy humor. The rest prefer to read mystery
books.)
3、“…的数目或数量”的表达方式有两种:可数名次用the
number of …;不可数名次用the amount of
….数量的多和少不能说成many和few,而用large和small.
⑴The number of the
students is large.(学生的人数很多.)
⑵The amount of food
is very small.(食物的数量很少.)
4、用以描述数据上升、下降或保持不变的表达方式有:
⑴rise/increase/go
up/jump to/grow(上升);
⑵decrease/fall/go
down/drop(下降);
⑶rise
sharply/rapidly(急剧上升)
⑷fall
slowly/gradually(缓慢/逐渐下降);
⑸The price has
grown by 3%.(价格已经上升了3%)
⑹The number of
visitors has risen from 100 to 500.(访客的人数从100上升至200了.)
⑺Over the years,
the income of the family has remained the
same.(近几年这个家庭的收入保持不变.)
5、“数量总计达到…”的表达方法有以下三种:
⑴The bill comes to
$25.(账单总共25英镑)
⑵These numbers add
up to 100. (这些数目合计为100.)
⑶All the expenses
amount to 11,000 yuan.(所有的开支总共达到11,000元.)
6、有关数据比较的表达方式有:
⑴Compared
with…(与…相比);
⑵He is 2
centimeters taller than I.(他比我要高2厘米.)
⑶The room is twice
the size of that one.(这个房间的面积是那个的两倍.)
⑷Now the total
number of Chinese Christians is 14 times as many as in
1949.(现在中国的基督教徒总人数是1949年的14倍.)
⑸The number of
students who enjoy reading English news doubles that of those who
prefer reading stories.(喜欢读英语新闻的学生人数是喜欢阅读故事的学生人数的两倍.)
