categorised into six distinct family structures, across Australia in the year 1999.
课堂例句:C04T04 混合图
The line graph illustrates the visits to and from the UK by overseas and local residents
over a 20-year period commencing in 1979, and the bar chart provides a further breakdown
of the number of UK residents travelling to the five most popular destinations in the year 1999,
both measured in millions.
可拆分模板:
The line graph illustrates 对象 1 over a 跨度-year period commencing in 起点年份,
and the bar chart provides a further breakdown of 对象 2 in the year 年份,
both measured in 单位.
注意:
visits to and from the UK= 到英国和从英国出发的访问 / 旅行。UK residents travelling to ...比UK residents to ...更完整。- 不要写
from the the UK,the只能出现一次。 - 时间可以写
between 1979 and 1999/from 1979 to 1999,但开头段更推荐over a 20-year period commencing in 1979。
课堂例句:C05T01 人口比例 + 未来预测
The line graph illustrates the proportion of the population aged 65 and over,
expressed as a percentage, between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.

The line graph illustrates the demographic profile of the elderly population,
expressed as a percentage, between 1940 and the projected year of 2040 in three different countries.
注意:
aged 65 and over= 65 岁及以上。demographic profile可理解为“人口画像 / 人口构成”。- 如果终点年份在未来,可以写
the projected year of 2040,提醒考官这是预测数据。

- 横着扫每一行,贴标签:一致 / 反着来 / 打平。
- 分段:Body 1 写标签一致的组;Body 2 写反着来的组 + 打平的组。
概览选择:
- 如果有一个对象在大多数指标里都是赢家,用
across most metrics这句。 - 如果没有明显横向赢家,回到静态图断崖法,用
a clear hierarchy点最大和最小。
Overall, while 主体 A consistently registered the highest figures across most metrics,
主体 B presented a starkly contrasting profile.

课堂整句框架:
Looking first at the trajectories that exhibited upward trends, the figure for A started at 数值
and successfully surpassed that of B at 数值 in 年份, after which the two trajectories diverged significantly,
pushing the latter to a lower position and culminating in a stark difference of 数值.
注意:
that of B= B 的数据,用来避免重复the figure for B。- 年份后面如果引导“那一年发生了什么”,用
when;如果指代“这件事之后”,用after which。 - 不建议写
in 2010, where ...,因为where主要指地点。
差距拉大:
The two trajectories diverged significantly after 年份.
Following a similar start, 变量 A and 变量 B moved in opposite directions.
Consequently, the gap between the two categories widened substantially.
A marked disparity emerged between 变量 A and 变量 B over the period.
..., culminating in a stark difference of 数值.

未来预测中的反超:
Similarly, the growth of A is expected to accelerate.
However, it is also projected to be overtaken by B around 年份.
5.2 静态图关键点
找点扫描顺序:分段切完再扫。对着整张图按顺序问五个问题,中一个就记一张“三件事便签”,不中就跳过。
1. 有没有独一档的第一名? -> 模型一:绝对领先
2. 有没有刚好几倍,或相加刚好相等? -> 模型二:倍数与合并
3. 有没有两个数长得一样,或几乎一样? -> 模型三:完全相等与差不多大
4. 大家都守的规律里,有没有谁一个人反着来? -> 模型四:全场唯一反转
5. 数据是不是又多又碎,挤成两群或像下楼梯? -> 模型五:两头扎堆与阶梯排队
便签配额:全文 4 到 6 张就够。一张便签 = 一句话 = 2 到 3 个数字。
常见安排:
Body 1: 模型一打头,模型二跟上。
Body 2: 模型三打包小数据,模型四压轴。
模型五: 常常直接当 Overview;前四问都落空的碎数据图,靠模型五概括形状。
绝对领先:
找什么:
- 找全场最大的数字、最高的柱子、最大的饼块。
- 看它和第二名差多少,或它是否比后面几项加起来还多。
- 记三件事:第一名叫什么、数字是多少、它和第二名或其他项差多少。
使用条件:
overwhelming majority:第一名超过 50%。dwarfing all other categories:第一名比每个其他项都大很多。overshadowing the runner-up:第一名和第二名之间有明显断崖。a mere 数值:只贴在很小的数字上,如个位数、十几,或不到第一名的一半。
... completely dominated the chart, accounting for 数值
... constituted the overwhelming majority of ...
..., effectively dwarfing all other categories
..., significantly overshadowing the runner-up
A marked disparity was evident between 霸主 and the rest.
... a mere 数值
整句:
Coal completely dominated the chart, constituting the overwhelming majority at 75%,
significantly overshadowing the runner-up, natural gas, which stood at a mere 10%.
倍数 / 分数:
找什么:
- 心算乘除:大数是不是小数的 2 倍或 3 倍。
- 乘除不明显就做加法:两个小数加起来是否约等于一个大数。
- 记三件事:哪几个对象、几倍 / 几分之几 / 相加相等、原数字各是多少。
使用条件:
exactly half:刚好一半。a mere third:大约三分之一,允许四舍五入。twice the proportion of:百分比图里刚好两倍。倍数fold higher than:整数倍,如twofold/threefold。respectively:句子里刚好出现两个对象和两个数字,一一对应。
... constituted exactly half of the figure for 对手方
... represented a mere third of the proportion seen in 对手方
... registered precisely twice the proportion of 对手方
The figure for 变量 A was threefold higher than that of 变量 B.
The combined total of 变量 A and 变量 B was roughly equivalent to ...
..., standing at 数值 and 数值 respectively.
相等 / 接近:
找什么:
- 找一样高的柱子、一样大的饼块、表格里一样的数字。
- 完全相等:数字一模一样。
- 差不多大:只差零点几,可当作同一水平;差两三个点就不要用这个模型。
- 记三件事:哪两个对象、数字是多少、这个数字在全场算大还是小。
使用场景:
- Body 2 写小项时最常用,几个差不多的小数据一句打包。
- Body 1 里两个大头打平也能用。
... registered identical proportions at 数值
变量 A and 变量 B shared an equal percentage of ...
... was exactly on par with that of 对手方
There was no discernible difference between 变量 A and 变量 B.
Similarly, an identical pattern can be observed in 变量 C.
整句:
Moving to the lower end of the spectrum, France and Germany registered identical proportions,
standing exactly on par with each other at 15%.
唯一例外:
找什么:
- 先看出大多数:大多数组里谁压着谁,这就是普遍规律。
- 专门找唯一反着来的对象。反着来的有两个以上,就不要用
sole exception。 - 记三件事:反转对象叫什么、反常数字是多少、它打破了什么普遍规律。
使用场景:通常放在 Body 2,打包完小数据之后压轴写。
使用条件:
sole exception/the only category:必须真的只有一个反例。defied the overall pattern:方向整个反过来。静态图、百分比图里优先用pattern。reversed situation:整体关系反转。
异常主体 stood out as the sole exception to this pattern.
... was the only category to deviate significantly from the norm.
... completely defied the overall pattern.
... exhibited a completely reversed situation.
Bucking the general pattern observed in other categories, 异常主体 ...
整句:
While males outnumbered females in almost all regions, New Zealand stood out as the sole exception
to this pattern, exhibiting a completely reversed situation where the proportion of females was higher at 40%.
数据抱团 / 阶梯:
找什么:退后一步看整体形状。
- 两头扎堆:数据明显分成两群,几个挤在高处,几个挤在低处,中间一大段是空的。
- 阶梯排队:从大到小排好后,相邻两个差的数都差不多。
- 记三件事:扎堆记高群、低群、中间空档;阶梯记排队顺序、每级大约差多少。
什么时候用:
- 数据有六七个以上。
- 找不出独一档第一名,如前三名是 90、85、82,挤在一起。
- 不要一个个报数,也不要硬找断崖,直接写形状。
使用条件:
polarises into two distinct clusters:高低各有一群,中间明显空着。bi-modal distribution:同上,可接在前一句后。heavily concentrated at the upper end:单写高处那一群。noticeable void in the middle range:单写中间空档。stepped progression:从大到小一级一级降,级差大致均匀。sequential hierarchy:能说出每级大约差多少。
The data polarises into two distinct clusters.
... exhibiting a clear bi-modal distribution.
... follows a clear stepped progression.
... forms a sequential hierarchy, with each category being roughly 数值 lower than the preceding one.
... heavily concentrated at the upper end of the spectrum.
..., leaving a noticeable void in the middle range.
整句:
Rather than an even spread, the data polarises into two distinct clusters, exhibiting a clear bi-modal distribution;
the top three countries are heavily concentrated at the 80% mark, leaving a noticeable void before the remaining
nations cluster around the 15% level.
6. 高分句式工具
6.1 with / ing / ed 合并句子
用途:一句话里装下主数据 + 次数据,避免用 and / but 硬接两个完整句。
三步:
- 挑主角:选最重要、最显著的数据,写成完整主句。
- 次要数据降级:不要再让它当新句子的主语。
- 主句后打逗号,接
with短语,或把动词改成ing形式接上。
主句完整结构, with 次要变量 standing at / accounting for 数值.
主句完整结构, with the figure for 次要变量 being significantly lower at 数值.
主句描述趋势, finishing / ending the period at 最终数值.
主句描述趋势, reaching a peak of 数值 before dropping to 数值.
主句动作一, followed by 名词化动作二.
主句描述新建筑, completely replacing the original 旧建筑.
使用条件:
with 次要变量 standing at/accounting for 数值:最通用。with the figure for 次要变量 being significantly lower at 数值:只有次要数据明显更低时使用。
示例:
Coal completely dominated the chart at 50%, with natural gas accounting for a mere 20%.
6.2 句首让步 / 对比
Whilst 背景变量完整从句, 核心反差变量的主句.
Whereas 普遍规律从句, 异常特例的主句.
Despite recording 背景数据, 核心变量 nevertheless 核心动作.
In spite of a general downward trend, 特例变量 ...
In stark contrast to 背景变量及数据, 核心变量 dominated the chart at 数值.

Nowhere was this trend more evident than in 核心变量.
It was 核心变量 that/which witnessed the most dramatic transformation.
6.4 自然过渡
从今天起强制替换:
firstly / secondly / next / then
换对象、换段落时,从下面选:
with regard to 新变量
in terms of 新变量
turning to 新变量
shifting the focus to 新变量
moving to the lower end of the spectrum
looking at the remaining categories
as the period progressed
in the subsequent stage
moving to the next stage of the process

respectively
that of 对手方 # 单数数据词
those of 对手方 # 复数数据词
6.6 定语从句与同位语
语法理解:
It is clear that ...
It is true that ...
这里的 it 是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的 that ... 从句。
That chicken consumption increased is clear.
= It is clear that chicken consumption increased.
同位语从句:后面的 that ... 是前面抽象名词的具体内容。
I like the idea that sleeping is good.
The fact that chicken consumption increased is clear.

Coal, which accounted for 75%, dominated the chart.
Task 1 里最常用:
which:补充事物、数据、前面整句话。who:补充人群。where:补充地点、机器、流程阶段。when:补充年份或时间点。
补充数字:
, which accounted for 数值,
, which stood at 数值,
, which was the highest figure recorded,

- 写 Intro。
- 写 Overview:只概括,不写具体数字。
- 按题型分主体段:动态按趋势,静态按大小,地图按空间,流程按阶段。
- 主体段每段至少写一个对比:反超、差距、倍数、例外、最高最低、扩张缩水。
- 用
with、句首对比、定语从句压缩句子。 - 最后检查 Overview、单位、时态、主谓一致、词汇重复。
