雅思写作那些复杂的图表,究竟如何概述?希望通过这篇文章的学习对你们有所帮助,下面跟随小编一起学习吧。
雅思学术写作的一、项任务是“至少150个单词的写作任务,考生必须总结、描述或解释一个表格、图表、图表或图表。”例子如下:
Task 1
The graphs above give information about computer ownership as a percentage of the population between 2002 and 2010, and by level of education for the years 2002 and 2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
什么是数据概述?
概括性的陈述会用一两句话来概括图表的目的,这些内容其实我们都可以在题目中看到,比如:上面的图表给出了2002年至2010年计算机拥有量占总人口的百分比,以及2002年至2010年受教育程度的信息。
经常有考鸭抖机灵,直接把题目中的原话照抄到自己的作文一、段,你可能觉得自己很机智?
然而,单纯地重复题目中的原句,你将不会得到任何分数!雅思考试要求考生需要用自己的话来概括题目中的内容,所以,投机取巧就不要想了!
如何操作?
在开始之前,首先要仔细查看图表上X轴和Y轴的信息和数据,确保自己真正了解题目图表所要表述的内容,比如:
这个图表显示…
图表中的信息说明....
图比较……
图解释了……
将图上的信息收集后,再用完整简介的语句加以概述,比如:
这些图表显示了计算机全民教育在2002年至2010年之间的发展水平,随着计算机的发展比较同期总体所有权。在这两种情况下,所有权都以人口总数的百分比表示。
现在我们进行一下真实操练:
