英语图表作文
图表作文提示部分包括图表和文字要点提示两部分。图表的类型主要有：圆形（饼型）图（piechart）、柱形图(直型图)（graph）、曲线图（chart）和数据统计表(表格)（table）。图表作文的写作内容包括综合理解、客观详述和主观表达。
一. 理解并描述整体信息
首先，读懂图表标题，包括附标题所提供的信息。准确了解主题内容，观察趋向和结果，找出变化的规律。然后，用一两句话，就图表所反映的主题、事物发展的趋向和结果以及所反映出的深层问题等方面做出概括性的评论（一般不包括数字）。
二. 具体信息描述
为了证明第一步已概括的整体信息，需要从不同角度，对图表列出的数据进行描述。在说明数据变化时，既要说明结果，也要表明趋势。对于趋势的描述，至少需引用一组数据变化的例子，有时还需要再举出一组数据与之作比较。顺着这样的思路写下来，文章不仅内容丰富，而且脉络清晰。

How People Spent Their Holidays
As can be seen from the table, the past decade have witnessed dramatic changes in the way people spent their holiday between 1990 and 2000.In 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure dropped considerably to 24% in 2000. It is obvious from the table that people tended to be more and more mobile, and they wanted to get entertainment in the outside world.
What contributed to these changes? I think the reasons are as follows. To start with, with the rapid development of economy, people earn by far more money than they used to. Thus, people are able to afford traveling expenses. Secondly, people think it important to get well-informed about the outside world in this new era when everything is on the move. Traveling, of course, is a sure way to achieve this goal. What's more, in this competitive society, people are usually under great stress. However, it is not difficult to find traveling an effective way to relieve people's stress and get relaxation. Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind.
In conclusion, people prefer to go traveling rather than stay at home during holidays for a combination of reasons. Moreover, it seems that this trend will last in the foreseeable future.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 120 words on Fire Causes in China. Study the following chart carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the chart. Write 3 paragraphs to:
1. state the information given in the bar chart
2. give your suggestions to prevent fire
3. draw your conclusion

(1) Defective insulation (防火措施不当)
(2) Children playing with matches
(3) Smokers
Fire Causes in China
Fire is one of the most terrible killers in the world, which is reported to have claimed numerous lives and done a lot of damage. This is also the case with China. What has caused fire? It is apparent from the bar chart above that careless smokers, defective insulation and children playing with matches are the three major fire causes.
Smokers are the biggest cause of all, which accounts for 50 % of the fires. Another major factor is children playing with matches, which is responsible for approximately 35% of the fire incidents. Another 12.5% of the fires result from defective insulation.
Now that fire has done that considerable damage, it is high time that measures was taken to prevent fire. As far as I am concerned, there are several ways to count on. In this first place, public awareness should be inspired that smokers should be extremely careful about the cigarette ends. They are not supposed to smoke where it is easy to catch fire. When they do smoke, they should see to it that the cigarette ends are put out. In the second
place, a closer eye should be kept on children and they might be warned of the danger of playing with matches. Sure, matches should be kept beyond their reach. In addition, the government may urge that such premises as companies, department stores and recreation centers should be equipped with adequate fire protection, thus minimizing the damage caused by fire. Meanwhile, staff should be trained to operate fire extinguishers properly in case of emergency.
On the whole, it is indispensable that everybody should realize the importance of preventing fire.

范文
1．以下图为依据描述发展中国家的期望寿命(1ife expectancy)和婴儿死亡率(infant mortality)的变化情况
2．说明引起变化的各种原因

Health Gains in Developing Countries
During the period from 1960 to 1990, the life expectancy of developing countries rose from 40 years to nearly 60 years, while infant mortality decreased from 200 deaths per 1000 births to around 100.
We believe that three reasons can account for this phenomenon. First, economy develops quickly in developing countries during this period, and living quality improves significantly as a result. Second, people's health conditions also become better and better with the development of national health care systems. When they become richer and richer, they care more about personal health conditions. Third, medical sciences also develop at a fantastic speed, and it is much safer for mothers to give birth.
We are happy to see that things are becoming better and better nowadays. We can imagine that people will live longer and the infant mortality will again fall.

2002. 6 Student Use of Computers

Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in 2000, the number soared to 20 hours.
Obviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them.
Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.

范文 Film Is Giving Way to TV
1．电影观众越来越少
2．电视观众越来越多，因为…
3．然而，还是有人喜欢看电影，因为…

Film Is Giving Way to TV

(1)During the period between 1975 and 1985，film-goers declined abruptly from 85,000 to about 12,000, while TV-watchers increased sharply from 5,000 to more than 100,000.
(2) Several reasons can account for this phenomenon. Compared with a film, TV is much cheaper and more convenient --you don't have to leave your house at all. Apart from that, you have many choices while watching TV, but a film concentrates on a certain topic.
(3) However, there are still a number of people who enjoy going to the cinema, generally for two reasons. On the one hand, the audio-visual effect of a cinema is much better. On the other hand, in a quiet and comfortable place such as a cinema, you can concentrate on what you are watching and get the most of the film. [1992. 1. CET-6]
