雅思小作文柱圖分析

在雅思小作文中，除了線圖，柱狀圖考得很頻繁。常以豎柱狀圖或橫柱狀圖出現(xiàn)。通常又可分為單柱和多柱，且經(jīng)常配合在組合圖形里考察。今天我們就來對柱圖進行詳細的分析，特別是給大家列出了動態(tài)和靜態(tài)兩種寫法：

1）如果橫軸有明顯的時間推移的話，烤鴨們應連接柱子頂點，重在描述柱子的升降起伏，寫法類似于線狀圖。2）如果無時間推移，則寫法和餅狀圖一樣。即按照各比較對象所占比例的高低寫，同時要注意各所占比例之間的比較。

可以用到的詞匯有：

1.表示“占多少”的動詞: account for，take up，make up，contribute to，have，represent　　
　　2.表示“最高級”和 “比較級”: 第一/最小 the largest/biggest proportion of, 第二 the second/next largest/expensive(+ 形容詞的最高級), 第三 followed closely by, 最低/最小 the smallest percent of all
　　3.表示“相同比例”: 即在餅狀圖中遇到了比例相同或者差不多的餅，如有A B兩個比較對象。A accounts for the same percentage as B/The proportion of A is as high as B/ A and B contributed equally/evenly to (all )

解題關鍵

在觀察柱形圖的時候首先要留意橫軸的數(shù)據(jù)，若橫軸為時間軸或者是年齡趨勢，那么我們在主體段寫作時候的基本思路就為從左到右；若橫軸數(shù)據(jù)為具體專有名詞諸如地點，交通工具等時，主體段的寫作思路就可能是按照柱形的長度排列。

審題時要注意看好橫縱坐標分別代表什么，以及時間單位。
　　把柱圖當線圖看，切入點是描述趨勢。
　　寫法：橫坐標是時間的，按時間發(fā)展順序?qū)�對象的整體趨勢進行對比。無時間的，可根據(jù)量的大小多少進行對比。

題1：The charts below give information about USA marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 2000, and the marital status of adult Americans in two of the years. 

Displayed in the first bar chart are data about marriage and divorce rates in the U.S. between 1970 and 2000 while the second bar chart demonstrates the marital status of adult Americans in 1970 and 2000.

According to the first bar chart, the marriage rate was consistently higher than the divorce rate over the thirty-year period. In 1970 the number of marriages stood at 2.5 million whilst that of divorce was 1 million. Over the next decade, that of marriages remained stable whereas that of divorces increased to 1.4 million over the same period. Then the following twenty years saw a gradual fall to 2 million in the number of marriages. Similarly, there was also a downward trend in that of divorces, reaching 1.4 million in 1990 and ending at 1 million in 2000.動態(tài)寫法

The second bar chart clearly shows that married people accounted for the greatest proportion of the adult American population in both 1970 and 2000 (70% and 59% respectively). As for other categories, the percentage of Americans adults who were never married was 14% in 1970 and 20% in 2000. By contrast, people who were widowed represented 8% of the population in 1970 and 6% in 2000. It is particularly noticeable that divorced couples only constituted 2% of the entire population in 1970 but in 2000, the figure amounted to 9%, a 4.5 times increase. 靜態(tài)寫法

Therefore, it can be clearly seen from the charts that the USA marriage rates were substantially higher than the divorce rates over the three decades and married population made up the largest proportion of the whole population in both 1970 and 2000.
