雅思A类小作文里有一类特殊的图表,笔者把它们称作“调查问卷式”图表。这类图表的形式可以是柱图、线图、饼图或表格,但它们的共同特点是数据来源于针对一部分人群所做的调查问卷,数据的体现是对调查问卷问题回答的统计。此类题型从图表特征分析的角度来说与一般的传统题型没有什么太大的区别,我们同样必须关注数据的趋势、总数、极值、数据比较等。但是从语言上说,此类图表具有其独特的词汇和句式。一些基础不是很扎实的学生,如果不对这些词汇句式做专门的关注与练习,考试时很可能会答非所问甚至跑题。本文中,将对这些调查问卷式图表作文常用的词汇句式做一些总结。

一、调查问卷式图表的特征

(1)以抽样调查的形式反映社会全体人群的想法

调查问卷式图表一般都是针对一个抽样群体(a sample)做问卷调查(questionnaire)或访问(interview),涉及的调查问题一般是关于对某种事物的喜好程度、重要性认识或对某类事件发生原因的个人意见。被进行问卷调查或访问的群体的回答被认为代表了社会全体人群对这些问题的看法和意见。

(2)图表内的数据是以抽样群体的人数作为计数基础

调查问卷式图表的数据一般是以“人数”或者“人数百分比”作为形式体现。如果是前者,那么必须注意,这些人数的计数基础是被调查人群,不能理解为全体社会人群中有同样数量的人。如果是后者,那么因为抽样人群被认为具有代表性,数据也可以适用于社会全体人群。下面以一个表格题的局部作为例子:

The chart below shows the results of a survey, which sampled a cross-section of 100,000 people, asking if they traveled abroad…

Visits abroad by UK residents by purpose of visit (1994~98)

该图表中的数据形式是“人数”,但必须注意这个人数的计数基础是抽样的100,000人,而不是全体人群。举15246这个数据为例,严格说来, “15246 people traveled for holiday in 1994.”这样的句子是错误的,因为15246不能代表全体人群的数据。

二、调查问卷式图表的典型词汇和句式

和“调查”有关的词汇:

survey / interview / questionnaire

调查问卷显示的结果一般可以表达为:

result of / response to a survey / questionnaire

被抽样调查的人群可以称为“样本”

sample

被问卷调查或访问的个体可以被称为:

the people interviewed, 或respondent

引出数据的动词:

此类词汇是调查问卷式图表作文的重点,因为此类图表的数据反映的是在一个抽样人群种有多少人或多少百分比的人对调查问卷的问题有着某种回答,所以关键的一个动词就是“回答”。所以和“回答”有关的词汇要在此类图表作文中反复出现,现总结如下:

answer – 15246 people out of the sample answered that holiday was their main purpose of traveling.

在这样的句子里answer还可以被如下动词所替代:

say, feel, mention, think, consider

另外,还有一些动词可以以被动语态的形式出现:

rate: Drinks and meals are rated number one (the most important consideration) by 26% of the younger women.

choose: Entertainment is chosen by 14% of the younger people as the most important consideration when taking the flight.

cite: Two other factors, driving when tired and driving too close to the vehicle in front, were cited by 44% and 36% of respondents respectively.

最后,还有一些名词词组也经常被使用,比如:

approval / disapproval rating:

The disapproval rating for mobile phones is higher among females than among males.

The “***” reply

The “no” reply makes up just under 30% in answer to this question.

三、总结和相关练习

调查问卷式的图表作文在真实考试中也屡次出现,这类题目本身并不难,关键是要熟悉常用的词汇和句式,这样数据的引用才能准确无误。在最后附上一些调查问卷式考题作为补充学习资料。

图表范文:美国成年人整体婚姻状况

The charts below give information about USA marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 20## and the marital status of adult Americans in two of the years.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

这两个柱状图对比了1970年至20##年30年里美国人结婚与离婚的人数以及1970和20##年美国成年人的整体婚姻状况。

The two bar charts compare the number of married and divorced people in USA over a span of 30 years from 1970 to 20## and the overall marital status of US adults in 1970 and 2000.

从图1可以看出,三十年间,结婚的人数逐步下跌,离婚人数呈现波动。图2显示,20##年美国成年人的婚姻状况较之1970年发生了巨大的变化。

As can be seen from the first chart, over the designated 30 years, the number of marriages experienced a steady fall while the number of divorces, however, fluctuated. The second chart shows that as compared with the situation in 1970, American adults’ marital status underwent dramatic changes.

首先,1970和1980年,美国的婚姻数字相同,皆为250例,离婚数却分别高达100万例和140万例。1990年和20##年结婚数的对比是230万:200万,离婚数对比是110万:100万。我们看到,离婚数最多的年份是1980年,同时还看到,20##年的离婚数与1970年持平。

To begin with, in 1970 and 1980, there was equal number of marriages in USA, both being 2.5 million. However, divorces were as high as 1 million and 1.4 million respectively. The numbers of marriages for the year 1990 and 20## were 2.3 million versus 2 million while divorces were 1.1 million versus 1 million. We also find that the year 1980 witnessed the greatest number of divorces and meanwhile, the number of divorces in 20## drew even with that in 1970.

第二,纵览另一图表所示的美国成年人婚姻状况,我们看到:决意不结婚者和离婚者在20##年的百分比都要高于1970年,两组数据的对比分别是20%:14%,9%:3%。在结婚和丧偶两项上,1970年的数据高于20##年,数据对比是70%:60%,8%:3%。

Secondly, as we look at the other chart, we see that the percentages of those who were determined not to be in a marriage and those who chose to end their marriages by divorce in 20## were both higher than figures in 1970. The two groups of figures are 20%:14% and 9%:3% respectively. In terms of the other two categories, namely, married and widowed, the figures for 1970 were higher than those for 20## and they are 70%:60% and 8%:3% respectively.

由此,我们了解了过去的几十年里美国人对待婚姻的态度以及他们多方面的婚姻状况。 Thus, we have gained an insight into the attitudes of Americans towards marriage and their multifaceted statuses in the past decades of years.

7月雅思大作文范文赏析

  中国人写的雅思作文有结构但语言不够地道;外国人写的文章够地道,但又不符合雅思的标准,因此,市面上总找不到“完美”的雅思例文。如今,这里有一篇研究和教授雅思的美国老师写的一篇雅思作文范文,大家不妨来学习分享一下。
  Children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
  Some feel that the children of low income families are better equipped to deal with difficulties posed by the‘real world’when they grow up and they also believe the privileged children of wealthy families are less fit to deal with these difficulties . The implications and veracity of this argument seem self-evident, but in fact require closer examination.
  点评:1+ 1 ’模式,即最后 1 句为主题句。此段的主题句稍微有点特殊,它的确否定了前面所提到的观点,从而表达出了自己的观点,此外还引出了下文。特别是最后半句,感觉是在抛砖引玉。
  The popular wisdom is that children of poorer families learn early on the value of a buck, and are thus naturally better suited to stretching money when times get tough in adulthood. Inversely, the children of wealthy families, thoseborn with a silver spoon in their mouths, are believed to be completely ignorant of the value of money, having had everything provided for them in their youth and oftentimes erroneously expecting the same situation in adulthood. They are believed to be prone to overspending and financial irresponsibility. This belief, though logical, overlooks one key point which is , of course, education.
  点评: 1 ’+3 模式,第 1 句是主题句。从此段的内容来看,这是个让步段(即分析自己并不赞成的观点)。虽然 4 段论的作文的主体段是两面讨论,但是本人还是喜欢这样的写作,即主体段的观点还是有侧重的,把让步段放在前面,最后一句话引出下一段,这样过渡很自然,而且自己的观点也比较明确。
  The basis of this argument is, of course, knowing the value of money, and the idea that children of the poor know this, and those of the wealthy do not . Who though, is in a better position to teach their children the value of money; someone skilled in earning and keeping it, the wealthy parent, or someone who can not seem to acquire it, the poor parent? Both wealthy and poor children are equally likely to acquire an education in money, whether it is formal, or in the school of hard knocks. Conversely, both children are as likely to ignore this education. (101words)
  点评:这段的内容感觉写得不够直接,还是在分析对方观点的漏洞。前面让步段已经这么写过了,那么这一段最好是正面地论证自己的观点。此外,需要说明的是,作者的内容还是有一定深度,但是这是要有一定的英语功底才行的。如果英语功底不行的话,建议内容不要写太深,因为那样容易造成考官看不懂你在说什么。
  A poor child may believe that one can get along, if not as easily, without wealth. A wealthy child may be well trained by a parent steeped in the knowledge of money management; the key to developing this skill is education.
  点评:最后一段有点像是提出解决这个问题的办法,即 education. 它没有像传统的结尾段那样简单的重申自己的观点。
  总结:作者很明显是不赞成题目的说法,但是作者自己是更偏向穷人家的孩子呢,还是富人家的孩子呢?根据文章来看,作者是中立,他所看重的是他们所接受的教育。整篇文章是一个中立的写法。在雅思考试中,这种写法经常使用,还是非常实用的,大家可以学习一下。此外,文章中有很多好词好句,特别是长句,值得模仿一下。

雅思范文:犯罪是人的天性

有些人认为犯罪是人的天性,而有些人认为我们可以在小孩小的时候停止他们的这种倾向,你有什么看法?
  Crimes undermine human society. reasons for committing a crime are varied and complex, so we could not say that violation of law is just human nature and that people’s tendency to break the law could be stopped when they are young.
  We are still not sure what causes people to commit a crime. the reason seems to be clear in cases in which a thief steals money to make a living or buy things normally unaffordable. many thieves, when caught and interviewed, reveal that they come from poor families and have very little education. therefore we could establish a relation between less privileged family background and low level of education. many people used to believe that parents could teach their children the harms of wrongdoing by showing them the consequences of such action and the obligation of complying with social norms. such method works for most children who are aware of what they are doing and what would happen from their action. but we also learn from news or other sources that many high-level officials take bribes or abuse power for their own benefit. such people with high income and good education clearly know what they are doing and the possible consequences. such crimes would not have happened if tendency to commit crimes could be stopped when people were young.
  Moreover, we know that people tend to act for their own benefit, but we do not know if this is due to human nature or other causes such as ideas learned later in life. if it is human nature, people live in faraway places without much education would commit crimes at a higher rate than people with schooling in cities. by contrast, people in remote places are more honest and kind, and the crime rate is significantly lower than that in city. from such evidence, we could not conclude that the above assertion is true.
  While we continue to explore what causes crime and how to prevent it, we need to bear in mind that it is far more complex than we normally think. accordingly, measures for crime prevention should also be multidimensional.
  To sum up, the conclusion that it is human nature to commit crime and that people’s tendency to break the law could be stopped when they are young is not well supported. people become criminals for many reasons and we should adopt more effective methods for crime prevention.

雅思写作范文3—看电视对孩子的影响

Is watching TV harmful or beneficial for children's creativity

  TV is an essential part of leisure activities in most families. However, some parents decide not to have a TV set in their homes, in order that their children will devote enough time to invention and creation.

  Do you agree or disagree with this attitude?

  The invention of television, one of the products of modern civilization, has made an enormous change in the lifestyle of human beings. TV has been playing more and more important role in most families after work. Yet, as to whether it is a blessing or a curse, parents often hold widely different opinions and take totally different attitudes.

  There is suspicion in some parents' minds that TV might retard their children' s creative ability or restrain kids ' imagination because TV viewers tend to receive information in a passive way instead of discovering things by themselves. Although people working in the TV industry have made lots of efforts to produce various programs, the outcome is usually unsatisfactory: either the program is too profound to be understood or the topic is not interesting enough to attract TV audiences. Thus, watching TV is hardly a good way to inspire children' s creativity. In many cases, it can draw attention away from their studies and spoil their school education.

  Despite the negative effects that TV produces, many parents still think that TV programs are quite helpful to their children's mental development because these programs can broaden their horizons and enrich their life experiences. Admittedly, some scientific, detective and documental programs like Discovery and National Geographic are so enlightening and fascinating that even little kids can be absorbed in. Furthermore, some well-chosen programs can motivate young children to diligent studies and in-depth researches. Hence, if parents can select TV programs carefully, the advantages brought about by watching TV definitely outweigh its disadvantages.

  In summary, TV is like a double-edged sword that can be used in a positive or negative way. Parents can make their own decisions about whether to have TV at their houses. It is their responsibility to make sure that their children's creativity is enhanced through watching TV.
