英語四級圖表作文寫作技巧
圖表作文是考研英語寫作中較爲常見的題型之一，也是難度較大的一種寫作題型。這類作文可綜合提供題目、數據、圖像、提綱，形式多樣，接下來小編整理了英語四級圖表作文寫作技巧。供學員參考。
一、英語四級圖表作文寫作技巧
1、直觀描述圖表內容
由於圖表作文不像提綱作文那樣有寫作提示和內容要求，所以寫圖表作文的第一步就是要考生描述圖表最直觀的內容。針對不同的圖表有不同的描述方式，比如：泛指一份數據圖表一般用a data graph/chart/diagram/illustration/table、餅圖用pie chart、直方圖或柱形圖用bar chart / histogram、趨勢曲線圖用line chart / curve diagram、表格圖用table、流程圖或過程圖用flow chart / sequence diagram、程序圖用processing/procedures diagram。而常用的描述圖表內容的句式類型很多，考生可以重點記憶一些常用的但是又不失新穎的句式，例如：As can be seen from the table/chart/diagram/graph/figures，table/chart/diagram/graph figures (that) …It is apparent from the figures/statistics、According to the table/chart diagram/graph等等。
2、具體分析圖表，提出問題或現狀
描述完圖表的內容以後，和其他類作文一樣，考生需要從圖表中總結出圖表想要傳達的信息，存在的問題啊、現狀啊、觀點啊等等，在描述這些內容時通常會用到一些對比分析的詞彙和句式，例如：數據在某一個時間段固定不變用fixed in time、在一系列的時間段中轉變用changes over time、波動用fluctuate / rebound / undulate / wave 、穩定用remain stable / stabilize / level off ，最常用的兩種表達形式是動詞+副詞形式或者形容詞+名詞形式。
形容數據變化的重要詞彙大家也可以記住一些典型的，比如：dramatic/dramatically 戲劇性的，生動的、sharp/sharply 銳利的，明顯的，急劇的、steady/steadily 穩固的，堅定不移的、slight/slightly 輕微的、略微地、rapid/rapidly 迅速的，飛快的，險峻的。考生最主要需要掌握的就是分析圖表時需要用的一些特定句型，例如：the table shows the changes in the number of…over the period from…to…、the graph provides some interesting data regarding…、this is a cure graph which describes the trend of…、over the period from…to…the…remained level等等，這些句式大家在寫作時完全可以直接套用，既能吸引人眼球又能省時省力。
3、提出解決辦法或自己的觀點
在作文的結尾段，考生需要對文章內容有個總結，並由此得出自己的觀點或者解決這個問題與現狀的方法，這個時候考生平時練習的提綱型作文模板的尾段也可以放到這裏用，當然這一部分在描述得時候也有自己常用的詞彙與句式模板，例如：the data/statistics/figures lead us to the conclusion that…等。
