大学英语写作“图表描写”常用句型

描写图表不是要考生把图表中的数据全部写出来。由于数据只起说明问题的材料作用，因此要对其有所挑选。一个不漏地描述数据，不仅会让读者感到你的表达冗长、枯燥，而且会感觉你的表述不得要领，偏离重点。因此，只要把最能说明问题的数据描述出来就可以了。要做到对数据的描写有针对性，就必须用一句话把图表中所反映的问题或现象或趋势归纳出来，尽量放在文章开头表达清楚，这样做有一针见血之功能，也便于下面引用数据来阐述。

1.According to(As can be seen from / As shown in / It is clear / apparent from)the chart

(graph / table / diagram / figure / statistics), ……

2.The chart(graph / table / diagram)reveals(shows / suggests)that ……

3.From the statistics(information)given in the table(graph / chart), we can estimate

(see / conclude)that ……

4.The number(percentage / figure)of …… nearly(almost)doubled, as compared with

/ about)six times(twice)compared with…

6.The percentage(number)is twice(4 times / half)as much as that(those)of 1990.7.The rate(number)was X percent, less(more)than a half(third / quarter)of the 1998
