图表图画类作文课后作业及范文

一、For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic People below Poverty Line.
1、下图所示为1978年，1985年1997年中国贫困线以下人口的变化情况，请先描述其变化。
       2、请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从改革开放、高科技在生产中的应用等）
　　3、你认为解决目前中国贫困人口还有什么困难或者问题。

      As the bar chart shows, there is a tremendous decline in the number of people below poverty line in China during the years of 1978 to 1997. As early as 1978, the number of people below poverty line in China is nearly 250 million. Then great changes have taken place due to the policy of reform and opening. Eight years later, the number had been strikingly reduced to less than 150 million. From then now, the society has also undergone a major transformation. Arriving in the year 1997, the number incredibly dropped to about 25 million.

There are several factors contributing to the sharp decrease of the below-poverty population. First and foremost, the reform and opening following 1978 enabled the peasants to become much better off. In addition, with the development of Chinese economy, that policy also improved city dwellers' living standards prodigiously. Furthermore, the high-tech introduced made it possible for the country's economy as a whole to take off. All these result in the stupendous fall of the Chinese population below the poverty line.

However, a further reduction in the number of poverty-stricken people is faced with some serious problems. Nowadays, quite few employees have been laid off. What’s more, university graduates also realize that it difficult to find a job to earn a living. Not only is the effect of unemployment discouraging, but it is also challenging. As a result, it is high time that government officers made some regulations to solve the problem.

二. Study the following tale carefully and write an essay of at least 150 words

You essay should meet the requirements below

1.       Changes in people’s daily expenses in the past five years

2.       Give possible reasons for the changes

3.       Draw my own conclusions

.

In the past five years, there have been great changes in people’s daily expenses I XX city. According to the figures given in the table, the amount of money spent on food decreased gradually, accounting for 35 percent in 1998. However, there was a rapid increase in clothing expenses, which made up 17% in 1998. In addition the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The same was the case with other expenses.

       What case these remarkable changes? In my opinion, it can be attributed to the following reasons:(也可以It is to the credit of the following reasons:)。 To begin with, with the rapid development of agriculture in China, the output of grain, fruit, vegetables, and milk has sharply increased, which contributes to the decline in their prices. Then, the family incomes of people both in the city and in the country have greatly risen so that people now can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in the latest fashion. Finally, as the living conditions improve, the demand for a variety o recreations is growing steadily, too.

       In short, with the incomes rising continuously, people are no longer reconciled to living a simple, monotonous life. They are eager to make their life interesting and exciting. Therefore, I am sure that people will spend more money on clothing and recreations.

1．请根据下表用英语写一篇短文,介绍某地区5年来人们的饮食变化情况。
内容要点：
1）饮食变化的情况。
2）说明人们饮食方面发生变化的原因。
3）变化说明了什么及所带来的好处。

 
 
food                2000 20## 20## 20## 20##   
grain               44%  44%  43%  42%  42%   
meat                19%  21%  23%  23%  22%   
Fruit and vegetable 25%  23%  21%  21%  21%   
milk                12%  12%  13%  14%  14%   
total               100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 
 
 
It is obvious in the table that the diet habit of the people in some area underwent dramatic changes from 20## – 2004. The amount of grain they ate fell year by year, and at the same time they increased their consumption of milk and meat. Besides, the consumption of fruit and vegetables fell from 25% to 21%.
There are two reasons for the changes. For one thing, with the increasing living standard, people are better off and can afford more expensive food of better nutrition. For another, more and more people begin to pay attention to the quality of their diet, because hey believe a balanced diet does good to their health. These changes in people’s diet shows that their living conditions improved greatly between 20## and 2004. We are sure that they are living a happier and healthier life.
　　From the above discussions, we have enough reason to predict what will happen in the near future. The trend described in the table will continue for quite a long time, I think.

From these graphs, we can draw a conclusion that, with the growth of human population, the number of species has decreased rapidly in America, and some species have even vanished from our planet.
There are numerous reasons accounting for the phenomenon and I would like to explore a few of the most important ones here. Above all, as the human population grows rapidly, a growing number of people came to live where some wild species have been living. Then these species have to move to other places. Some of them probably can not adapt to the new environment and die. In addition, although many people look on the wildlife as their friends, some people may not think so. They catch a lot of wild animals and sell them in order to get more money. Consequently, the natural balance and the ecologic environment are destroyed. The clear cutting has become increasingly serious. So some of the wildlife become homeless and extinct.
In order to protect the wildlife, I have some suggestions. First, the governments should make laws to prevent them from being caught and killed. Second, the governments should educate people to love nature and protect it. Third, as for ourselves, we should take practical actions to protect our living environment. (210 words)
 
【参考范文二】
The two charts show that the increase in the U.S. population has been accompanied by a corresponding decline in the number of wildlife species. Far too many species have been lost already. This poses a danger to the ecological balance.
As the human population expands, wild animals in mounting numbers are hunted for food, or because they are thought to present a threat to man. But studies show that one of the primary causes of the disappearance of wildlife is pollution, which is one of the consequences of population growth and economic development. This makes us wonder if men are able to share this planet in harmony with other life forms.
In my opinion, it is imperative for us to take steps to reverse the disturbing trend illustrated in the charts. One measure would be to forbid the building of cities in areas where wild life is threatened with extinction. But, more importantly, men must learn to stop polluting the environment, or he himself will be extinct. (167 words)
 
【参考范文三】
As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1990, the number of its wildlife species no longer existing soared during the same period. Naturally, we can draw the conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth.
Several reasons may account for this phenomenon. To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space which exerts a great influence on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.
Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only when the government and the common people make joint efforts can we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem. (216 words)

考研英语作文范文(图表提纲式作文) 2

Directions: Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay of about 200 words within 40 minutes. Your essay must meet the requirements below. 

1.      Write out the message conveyed by the graph. 

2.      Make an analysis of the strange phenomenon

3.      Give your comments

    正如上面两张曲线图所示，从1990年到1995年蛋类的平均价格不断上升，并且其需求量也相应增加。曲线图还表明，从1995年到20##年期间蛋类价格下降，而且需量也下降。这种现象是很奇怪的并值得研究。根据市场经济法则，需求量增加会引起价格上涨。也就是说，当价格上升时，需求就下降，而当价格回落时，需求就增加。但是现在的现实恰好相反。

    产生这种奇怪的现象的原意是很明显的。从1990年到1995年期间随着我国社会主义市场经济的发展，人民的收入，其中包括工资、奖金和各种补贴迅速增加。虽然蛋类价格的需求量也急趋增加。另一方面，当蛋类的需求达到某一点时，需求量就停止上升，因为人们开始把越来越多的钱花在衣着、娱乐和国内外的旅游上。普遍认为，从1995年到20##年旅游开支占我国人民总消费量的很大一部分。因此，同期蛋类需求量的下降也似乎是合理的。

    我的看法是， 由于家禽养殖业的不断发展，蛋类价格很可能下降，因为对蛋类的需求有限，消费量的下降也是必然的。

    As is shown by the two graphs above, the average price of eggs was on the rise from 1990 to 1995 and the demand for them increased correspondingly. The graphs also indicate that during the period from 1995 to 20## the price eggs declined, and so did the demand. The phenomenon is quite strange and worth studying. According to the law of market economy, the increase in demand results in higher prices. That is to say, when prices climb, the demand decreases, and when prices fall, the demand grows. Now the reality was just the other way round.

    The reasons for this strange phenomenon are obvious. During the period from 1990 to 1995 with the development of our socialist market economy people’s income, bonus and different kinds of benefits, increased rapidly. Though the price of eggs rose gradually, the demand for them grew sharply, too. On the other hand, when the demand for eggs reached a certain point, it stopped rising because people began to spend more and more money on clothing, recreations and tours round the country and even round the world. It is generally assumed that the expenses for tours accounted for a great part of the total consumption of the people in our country from 1995 to 2000. As a result, it seemed reasonable that the demand for eggs declined during the same period of time.

    As far as I’m concerned, with the domestic poultry farming continuing to develop, the price of eggs is likely to decline because the demand for them is limited and the fall in consumption of them is also inevitable.  (270 words)
