有了3个维度(即大中小3个部分)的信息之后,如何把这3个维度的信息给组建成文章呢?
我们会把“大”的信息放在首段,将相关的“中”和“小”部分的信息结合起来放在一段里,最后就能形成前文所说的清晰无误的效果啦~
比如:
某范文首段:
The line graph shows the percentage of houses using two different types of heating fuel according to the year of construction of the houses. The information shows that electricity is more commonly used in older homes, while newer homes use natural gas at a similar rate as electricity.
看完上面这段话,试着自己画一画/想一想作者所描述的图表类型、横轴、纵轴以及线条的大概走向吧~
你的画中是否已经呈现出类似于下图的情景呢?
第二段:
Many more older homes are heated with electricity than with natural gas. (前面这句就是我们之前所提到的“中”信息啦啦啦~~)Sixty percent of homes built before 1950, as well as an equal percentage of homes built between 1950 and 1969, use electricity for heat. The percentage falls significantly, to around 45%, for homes built between 1970 and 1989. This figure stays the same for houses built between 1990 and 2010.(前面这几句均是“小”信息)
看完这一段,也是尝试着在自己动手画的图中标注出具体的纵轴数值,将线条的变化画的更加准确一些。然后再对照下图!
第三段:
Many fewer older homes are heated with natural gas. (前面这句依旧是我们之前所提到的“中”信息啦啦啦~~) Just 15% of homes built before 1950 are heated with this type of fuel. The figure rises steadily, until we see that 45% of homes built between 1990 and 2010 use natural gas for heat.(前面几句均是“小”信息)
结尾段:
While electricity is the most common source of heat in older homes, equal percentages of the newest homes shown on the graph use electricity and natural gas.
因此,我们可以总结一下,小作文文章结构基本如下所示~
首段:
第一句:数据源相关信息描述
第二句:“大”信息
第二段:
第一句:“中”信息1
第二句:“小”信息1
第三句:“小”信息2
第四句:“小”信息3
第三段:
第一句:“中”信息2
第二句:“小”信息4
第三句:“小”信息5
第四句:“小”信息6
结尾段:
重述重要信息
或给出明显对比
按照每句话15个单词来计算,需要10句左右的话来描述图表。这10句话的安排,完全可以参考以上的结构。且建议大家将字数控制在170字左右。
练习:
以下图表第一段写什么?第二段写什么?第三段写什么?最后一段写什么?以及每一段中的每一句分别写什么呢?
格式可以参考上文中的文章结构图,不过需要把具体的“大中小”信息给写出来噢~
