一、圖表作文

　　圖表的類型主要有下列幾種：簡稱“三圖一表”即柱狀圖(Bar Graph)、線形圖(Line Graph)、餅狀圖(Pie Graph)和表格(Table)，下邊給出了三種圖樣。

　　圖表作文的題型特點：以圖表作為信息來源的寫作模式，即根據圖標上的數字，找出所反映的社會現象，并從中看出主要問題和發展趨勢;通常的寫作邏輯結構為：

　　Paragraph I:(1)描述圖表：趨勢描寫;(2)描述圖表：必要數據支持(細節性)。

　　Paragraph II:(1)提出自己理由和觀點;(2)細節性分論點(支持自己觀點)。

　　Paragraph III:(1)預測未來和提出解決方法;(2)總結全文和表達作者自己觀點。
