Kinds 1989 1990 Grain 49% 47% 46.5% 45% 45% Milk 10% 11% 11% 12% 13% Meat 17% 20% 22.5% 23% 21% Fruit and Vegetable 24% 22% 20% 20% 21% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 〔范文〕 Changes in People’s Diet As can be seen in the table, there have been great changes in people’s diet in the past five years. Grain used to be the Chinese main food, but now it is playing a less important role in people�s diet, while the consumption of some high�energy foods, such as milk and meat, has increased steadily. What caused these changes? I think the reasons are as follows: First,the open policy brings the people opportunities to earn a lot of money.Second,people nowadays pay more attention to the structure of their diet.They are seeking the most reasonable diet structure, which will do good to their health. From the above, we can see that,with the development of the country,the level of the Chinese people’s life has changed in the past five years.I’m sure there will be greater changes in the future. 文中第一句话就明确告诉读者这篇作文是一篇图表作文。接下来根据图表分析了在过去的五年中人们的饮食结构都发生了哪些变化，最后预测将来人们的生活水平还会发生更大的变化。尽管在这张图表中有很多数据，但作者并没有过多地引用这些数据，而是通过数据把要说明的问题点了出来。 〔例2〕Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Income Sources between Chinese and American Students.Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the in formation given in the table. Write three paragraphs to: 1. Describe the differences of the income sources between Chinese and American students. 2. Analyze possible reasons for these differences. 3. Predicate future tendency. Source of income Percentage of Total Income Parents Part�time job Fellowship or Scholarship American students50%35%15% Chinese students90%5%5% 〔范文〕 Income Sources Between Chinese Students and American Students Income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students` money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn only 5% of their money from part time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income. I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values,Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their children�s education rather than encourage them to take part�time jobs.But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students� ability of self�reliance,so they encourage their children to find part�time job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easy for students to find part�time jobs.In China,such opportunities are rather rare. I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self�dependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part�time jobs. So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives. 作者在这篇图表作文中很好地利用了图表以及题目中所给的提示，文章结构完整，意思表达清楚，较好地完成了一篇图表作文所应该表达的内容。 图表作文：大学生使用电脑情况（02年四级真题）For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Student Use of Computers. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below:1.上图所示为1990年、1995年、2000年某大学生使用计算机的情况，请描述其变化；2.请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明)；3.你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。 Student Use of ComputerSince 1990, there has been tremendous growth in the use of computers by students. While in 1990, the average number of hours a student spent on the computer was about one hour per week, this number grew to nearly four hours per week by 1995, and to approximately 20 hours per week by the year 2000. This significant growth in the use of computers by students in the 1990’s can be attributed to several factors, including widespread usage, lower prices, and technological and social developments. Nowadays, computers are widely used by students for word processing, book keeping, multimedia presentations, and access to the Internet for both research and communications. Additionally, since 1990, due to competition and technological advances, computer hardware and software prices, as well as Internet usage charges have dropped significantly. Finally, technological developments and changes in social habits in the 1990’s have played a major role in this tremendous growth in the use of computers. Today’s society relies heavily on computers for immediate access to the news and for entertainment, including, listening to music, watching movies and sport events, and playing computer games. While computers are of great assistance to the students, and therefore, are indispensable tools, they also pose some challenges. The biggest challenge that many students face is discipline in the use of this powerful device. That is, students need to have the discipline of not allowing themselves to be lured by the entertaining aspects of this wonderful tool—aspects that can result in addiction to computer games or viewing of undesirable material on the Internet. That is to say, students need to use this powerful tool with great wisdom! -------------------------------------------------------- 3篇够不？？很难找到图~
