四六级考研雅思之图表作文

2) 圆形图（Pie Chart）

3)曲线图（Line Chart）

4) 条形图/柱状图 （Bar Chart）

四六级和考研当中的图表作文目的在于：1）用文字描述图表，客观解释图表中所传递的信息，并找出某种规律或趋势；2）就图表中所反映的某种趋势或问题分析其原因或后果并做出预测

和提出建议。2000年之后的考研作文不再将图表描述作为考核内容，其更专注于对反应社会动态的漫画的描述和说明能力的考察。而雅思图表作文目的在于考察学生的客观描述能力，分类归纳能力及总结概括能力。

Key point: find out the correlations among items.

Writing procedure for CET6/ EEGS:

1. Analyze the graph/picture/chart to find correlation among items.

2. In the first paragraph, depict the picture by picking out the main figures that can best present such correlation. Make sure that you hit the nail on the head.

3. In the second paragraph, you are supposed to list or explain the underlying factors that give rise to such correlation or phenomenon.

4. Draw your own conclusion in the last paragraph/ make prediction towards future/ propose suggestions.

Note: graph compositions in CET 6 and EEGS are different from that in ELTS. Make the former two types exposition or argumentation with appropriate description while the latter a descriptive essay only.

For ELTS:

1. Point out the main elements/messages of the graph.

2 Describe the table/graph to demonstrate similarity, contrast and other regularities among items with relevant figures.

3 summarize the main regularities of the table/graph.

在把握好写作类型之后写好图表作文的关键在于会看图，暨寻找图表中所反映的某种规律。规律的寻找往往可以通过以下方法达成：1）注意增减；2) 同质分类；3）寻找突出数据；4）找出总体趋势。

范文1（四六级）

（1）Educational Pays

The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones. For instance, the college students with no degree get paid$712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn $1038.

Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also,

the higher one’s education degree is, the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.

This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment. Therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves.

(2) Educational Pays

Judging from the table, we can see that people’s income increases along with their education levels. Above all，the average college graduates earn much more than the typical high-school graduates.

The fact revealed by these data is obvious: a degree does bring distinctive financial benefits to its holders. But is it true that a degree alone can ensure a bright future? I don’t think so because, on the one hand, the financial value of high education depends heavily on what skills graduates can gain from it instead of the degree itself. After all, an

employer only pays for your ability and performance, not for your certificate. On the other hand, the most valuable bless high education brings to graduates is the ability to learn quickly and efficiently. People received more education tend to keep lifelong learning habits after their graduation, which would help them gain more opportunities in their career path.

In conclusion, what accounts for education pays is not the degree alone, but the graduate’s ability and leaning habit.

范文2(四六级)

From the two charts, we can see that in the past ten years the students who go traveling and do social investigations during vacations have increased greatly while those who stay at home have decreased a lot.

There are several reasons for the changes. Firstly, with the development of economy, many people have become better off. Students can get financial support from their parents for traveling. Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the past ten years. Many new scenic spots have been built and exploited. In addition, the students today are expected and encouraged to participate in facing the real world. In this way they can obtain the necessary experiences required when they go

job-hunting upon graduation.

From the changes in the charts, we can predict that more and more college students will make their vacations interesting and worthwhile by going to the outside world instead of staying at home.

范文3（考研）

DIRECTIONS: A. Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words. B. Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET II. C. Your essay should cover these three points:

1. Effect of the country’s growing human population on its wildlife

2. possible reasons for the effect

3. your suggestion for wildlife protection

From these graphs, we can draw a conclusion that, with the growth of human population, the number of species has decreased rapidly in America, and some species have even vanished from our planet.

There are numerous reasons accounting for the phenomenon and I would like to explore a few of the most important ones here. Above all, as the human population grows rapidly, a growing number of people came to live where some wild species have been living. Then these species have to move to other places. Some of them probably can not adapt to the new environment and die. In addition, although many people look on the wildlife as their friends, some people may not think so. They catch a lot of wild animals and sell them in order to get more money. Consequently, the natural balance and the ecologic environment are destroyed. The clear cutting has become increasingly serious. So some of the wildlife become homeless and extinct.

In order to protect the wildlife, I have some suggestions. First, the governments should make laws to prevent them from being caught and killed. Second, the governments should educate people to

love nature and protect it. Third, as for ourselves, we should take practical actions to protect our living environment.

范文4（考研）

Study the picture fully. Your essay should include the following points: 1)a description of the illustration, 2)your understanding of the issue, 3)suggest counter measures.You should write about 160-200 words.

In the illustration provided, authors of what should be unique articles peer over at their colleague’s work. Perhaps they are looking for inspiration, but more likely, they are stealing ideas and using these ideas as their own. It appears from this picture that everyone is guilty of this crime; there is no start or finish to cycle of plagiarism.

Academic plagiarism is a problem that is not limited to one or two schools in the world. One can only imagine that some form of academic plagiarism is present everywhere. This process can occur innocently enough. On writer is looking for information on a certain topic and does not cite his work properly. Other students find the second essay, and further change it from the original text. Eventually, the original author is forgotten, and credit is not placed where it is due.

I believe that the issue is a very serious problem in universities today. The administration should do everything they can to stop plagiarism. This could include lecturing students on how to properly quote references, and also raising the penalties for those who are found guilty of plagiarism.

范文 5（雅思）

The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and

make comparisons where relevant.

The table indicates the number of miles by the average English person in 1985 and 2000, using various means of transport.

The number of miles walked, cycled and travelled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles travelled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 2000. The number of miles travelled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased. The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 1985 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 2000. The number of miles travelled by long distance bus more than doubled from 54 miles (1985)to 124 miles (2000). The number of miles driven by taxi trebled from 13 miles (1985) to 42 miles (2000). The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport also increased.

Overall, the number of miles travelled by the average English person rose from 4,740 miles in

1985 to 6,475 miles in 2000, with the increase of cars accounting for almost all of that increase.

范文6 （雅思）

The pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years 1980 and 2000. Between these years electricity production almost doubled, rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia,

and from 90 to 180 units in France.

In 1980 Australia used coal as the main

electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10 units). By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.

In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro contributing only 5 units. But by 2000, nuclear power, which was not used at all in Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units. Other sources were no longer significant.

Overall, it is clear that by 2000, these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.
