The chart below shows the qualification of the workforce at an engineering company in 1988 and 2008.
數據解析: 思路1: 對比2008年和1988年前后數據【增減變化】,得出結論如下: 2008>1988 PHD-Science (30% vs 13%), PHD-Art (5% vs 2%), Master-Art (23% vs 21%) 2008<1988 First Degree-Art (2% vs 15%), First Degree-Sciences (11% vs 20%) 2008=1988 Master-Science (29% vs 29%)
思路2: 對比2008年和1988年前后數據【變化幅度】,結論如下: 幅度大 PHD-Science (30% vs 13%),First Degree-Art (2% vs 15%), First Degree-Sciences (11% vs 20%) 幅度小 Master-Science (29% vs 29%),PHD-Art (5% vs 2%), Master-Art (23% vs 21%)
本文主體段選取“第2種分組思路”
【introduction】 Shown in the two pie charts are the qualifications of staff at an engineering company, and two years – 1988 and 2008 – are studied. Overall, there are noticeable similarities and apparent differences in terms of the different levels of education reached by employees. 第一句:簡述圖表內容,使用倒裝句。 第二句:總結性信息。 詞匯使用:程度修飾詞的使用 . Noticeable adj. 明顯的 . Apparent adj. 明顯的
【body】 Substantial differences could be found in the proportion of employees obtaining PHD-Science degree, First Degree of Art and First Degree of Sciences. The year of 2008 witnessed that employees with PHD-Science degree accounted for the greatest proportions, 17% higher than 1988’s 13%. Conversely, the two remainders saw a marked shrinkage, with the percentage slumping by 13% and 9% respectively. 主體段1: 第一句:概述變化程度明顯的三類 第二句:突出增加幅度最大項- PHD-Science degree 第三句:然后陳述減少幅度較大的另兩項- First Degree of Art 和First Degree of Sciences 注意:句子主語的變化
詞匯使用 . Substantial adj. 顯著的 . Obtain v. 取得 . Shrinkage n.減少 . Slump v. 銳減
By contrast, staff with Master’s Degree of both Science and Art and PHD Art degree had marginal changes in 2008, compared with their respective shares in 1988. Most notably, the Master Science sector, stabilizing at 29%, was larger than the other sectors in 1988 and became the second largest in 2008. In addition, PHD Art holders constituted the smallest part of the total workforce. 主體段2: 第一句:概述變化程度輕微的三類 第二句: 突出其中變化幅度最小(即數值穩定不變的項目- Master-Science) 第三句:不同年份,突出最小值 詞匯使用 . Marginal adj. 微不足道的 . Stabilize v. 保持穩定 . Constitute v. 構成
【conclusion】 Overall, the two years differed greatly.
