Recently our school has conducted a survey among the students about how parents treat their children.

According to Chart 1, three behaviors from parents are considered most welcome among the students. 33.5% of the students feel happy that their parents trust them, laying a basic foundation for family communication. 31.7% are content to be in the equal position with their parents when they are talking with each other. What’s more, 22.7% feel happy to receive constant praise or encouragement from their parents.

As is shown in Chart 2,32% of the students think their parents expect too much of them, especially in their studies, putting great pressure on them. While all parents love their children and want the best for them, with too much pressure, however, some children will feel they have failed if they are not accepted at a top school or university.

I think parents should have practical expectations for their children. This way, the children will feel more confident about themselves and really make a difference in the future.

　　 From the table, we can see that film is giving way to TV in our city.

For example, in 1995, there were less than 10 thousand TV watchers, more than 80 thousand film goers, while in 2005, we had about 1 million TV watchers but only about 10 thousand film goers. The number of film goers is decreasing and that of TV watchers is increasing. Televisions are quite common nowadays and so more and more people turn to TV because it is convenient and cheap and watchers have a wide range of programs for them to choose from. At the same time, there are still some people who prefer films because they like the atmosphere in the cinema as well as the entertainment

第二篇：备考20xx高考写作——图表类作文

备考2010高考写作：图表作文

纵观近几年高考，英语书面表达大致分为材料作文、图表作文和开放作文。且材料作文逐渐被图表作文取代，图表分析作文就是将数据、图像所包含的信息，转化为表意的说明文字。图表分析作文通常比较复杂，学生不仅要弄清提示，还要看懂所给的图表和数据。由于这类试题提示内容少，信息点分散，审题时一定要领会作者的出题意图，弄清主题再动笔：

1.单纯描述解释图表信息，按图表所示内容如实表达，不加评论。2.通过叙述图表(或图画)中的内容和数字变化来分析原因，发表议论。

(一) 柱状图(BAR CHART)

人们日常生活中事物的变化情况通常可以用宽度相等的柱状图形来表示，柱状图的高度差别用来说明事物的动态发展趋势，同时要注意图例说明和坐标刻度所提示的信息。

例：你们班会的讨论主题是“上大学是高中生唯一的出路吗？”请你根据下面图表及汉语提示，写一篇短文，并阐述你的个人观点。

提示：1.增长学识，提高素养，利于择业。

2.成功的路不只一条。

3.学费高，就业难。

要求：1.词数：100～120左右。

2.开头语已为你写好(不计入词数)。

3.参考词汇： tuition n.学费 qualities n.素养

【解题分析】

柱状图是高中英语课本中常见的图形，要求学生通过柱状图图中数据和提示内容写一短文，属于比较、对照类。也可根据提示写为议论文。通常我们采取三段式写法：

第一段：描述图表，得出结论。

第二段：紧扣主题，根据图表比较分析原因，论证结论。

第三段：发表议论，提出自己的看法。

【提炼要点】

分析柱状图数据信息。从图中可看出，黑色代表想上大学，占大多数，约60%；浅黑色代表无所谓，占约30%；白色代表不想上大学，占约10%。

Is It The Only Way Out To Go To College？

We had a discussion about whether it is the only way out for senior students to go to college. Views vary from person to person.

The majority of us consider it very necessary to go to college. They think it can widen their knowledge and improve their qualities. Only in this way can they find better jobs after graduation.

Very few students， that is about ten percent of the students， think it no use going university， because the tuition is too high for their family to afford. What's more， it's rather hard for college graduates to seek satisfactory jobs. Thirty percent of the students， however， believe “All roads lead to Rome.” Therefore it doesn't make any difference whether they go to college or not.

In my opinion， we can receive a better education at college so that we can serve our motherland.

【语言亮点】

①词汇。如：consider，widen，afford，seek，satisfactory。

②句式。如：形式宾语：The majority of us consider it very necessary to go to college. 倒装：Only in this way can they find better jobs after graduation.

主语从句：it's rather hard for college graduates to seek satisfactory jobs.

谚语：All roads lead to Rome.

③过渡词。如：that is about ten percent of the students，what's more， however， in my opinion。

【技巧点拨】

1.读懂柱状图坐标刻线及图例说明与文字，比较柱状高低和颜色表示内容及数据。

2.学会看趋势、找规律，从整体看图表有何发展变化，找出特点、规律。

3.引用图表包含信息，使你的文章“由图而发”，言之有据。

Ownership of Houses in a Big City in China

As can be seen from the chart， ownership of houses in a big city in China changed in the past ten years. In 1995， 75 percent of the houses were state?owned. Five years later， the rate of state?owned houses to private ones was 3 to 2. But from then on， the ownership of houses changed rapidly and so far 80 percent of houses have been private.

What caused the changes？ There might have been two main reasons. First， from 1995 up to now， the people's living standards have been improving. Most of them can afford to buy the houses. Second， most people do not save a lot of money in the bank for their children as their parents did in the past. They want to have their own home and enjoy life.

Such changes have had a great effect on the development of society. It does good to both the citizens and the government.

Reading Interests of Senior

Middle School Students

Recently， a survey has been done to find out the reading interests of senior middle school students. In this survey， one thousand senior middle school students from ten schools in Hubei Province were interviewed. They were asked which they liked reading most among the four categories of English articles， news， stories， popular science articles and articles about learning methods.

The survey shows that more than half of the students like to read news most. Twenty-six percent of the students say that English stories are their favorite. Only seven percent of the students are most interested in reading articles about learning methods. However， the number of students who enjoy reading popular science articles doubles that of those who prefer reading articles about learning methods.

(二) 曲线图(LINE GRAPH)

曲线图常用来表示事物的变化趋势。常分为带时间参照和不带时间参照两种。曲线图的特点是信息集中，一目了然。

例：下面的曲线图是我国20xx年不同月份汽车事故分布示意图，请以“The number of car accidents in 2006”为题写一篇文章。要求：

1.描述不同月份汽车事故分布(distribution)及总趋势。

2.描述汽车事故的可能原因和对策。

3.参考词汇：peak 顶点，高峰。词数：100～120 。

【解题分析】

英语曲线图作文实际是一篇“解说词”，即通过曲线图提供的信息，分析图中数据，综合出文章的主题。可采取三段式写法：

第一段：用简短的几个句子简述图表。

第二段：根据图表分类，概括性地描述曲线内容。

第三段：对文章整体内容进行结论性总结。

【提炼要点】

分析曲线图数据信息。从图中可看出，曲线图的横轴代表20xx年的不同的月份，纵轴代表交通事故的数量。从交通事故曲线图上可知，前八个月的交通事故的数量有升有降。曲线图

在八月份升到了最高点(39)，此后一直呈下降的趋势，十二月份降到了最低点(16)。可见，20xx年的交通事故的数量总体上呈下降的趋势。

The Number of Car Accidents in 2006

From the graph， we can see that there were two peaks of accidents in 2006. One was in Feb with the number of 32.The other was in August with the number of 39， which was the highest point of the distribution line. From August， the number of car accident had been decreasing till it reached the lowest point of the year in December. Two peaks occurred in spring and summer， the two seasons which had most of the year's rain. Driving tends to be more dangerous in rainy days. Maybe the weather is the most important reason for car accidents. Be careful， when you drive a car in rainy days.

【语言亮点】

①词汇。如：peak， point， distribution， decrease， reach， occur， tend to。 ②句式。如：宾语从句：we can see that there were two peaks of accidents in 2006.

定语从句：which was the highest point of the distribution line.

状语从句：...till it reached the lowest point of the year in December.

...when you drive a car in rainy days.

【技巧点拨】

1.认真观察坐标系信息，抓住曲线图变化趋势，结合提供的时间和数据参照寻求切入点。

2.根据曲线图的变化过程，尽可能利用所给的文字信息进行分类，比较，总结。

3.写作过程中不必要将图中全部数据信息加以描述，只需将典型内容作以分析。

Car Explosion in China

As is vividly described in the table above， great changes in car ownership have taken place in China over past decade. The number of private cars has accordingly increased nearly 7 times from more than 2 million in 1996 to over 14 million in 2006. What's the reason？

There are two main factors for these changes. To begin with， development in economy plays a vital role in these years. The higher incomes results in Chinese people's owning private cars. What's more， in modern society， time means money， many Chinese need a car to do business on time.

In my view， however， the car explosion will constantly increase year by year， a large number of social problems such as traffic jams， among other things， are turning up nearly every city in China.

改革开放reform and opening up

One possible version

According to the figures given by the graph， the Chinese farmers' personal income rose steadily from 1970 to 1990. In the middle of 1970's their income was rather low. Their annual personal income was about 180 yuan. But in 1980 the average personal income increased to 270 yuan. As is shown by the graph， in 1985 their income doubled up to 540 yuan. After that their income are growing sharply. In a word， during the period of 20 years the farmers' income had gone up rapidly.

There were many reasons for it. Mainly the Chinese government had been carrying out a reform and opening policy， which resulted in the steady growth of farmers' income.

I believe that with a series of agricultural policies being carried out， there is no doubt that the farmers' living standard will be improved to the fullest.
