It is apparent from the diagram above that the total income of the tourist industry has reached 2,500 billion RMB by the year 2015, at a growth rate of 10% per year. From the statistics given in the table, we can see that the value added in tourism has accounted for 4.5% of national GDP and 12% of the value added in the service business.

Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages. First and foremost, beautiful scenery, attractive tourist spots and splendid culture attract tourists from various parts of the world, which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from diverse backgrounds. For instance, since the reform and opening-up era, China, a country which has rich tourist resources, has received millions of foreign tourists every year. Moreover, travel enriches one’s knowledge, widens one’s vision and enhances mutual understanding. Through travelling, we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge, and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our country better. Finally, tourism boosts local economies and promotes commercial exchanges.

In my opinion, it is crucial for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias. We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful.



参考译文

由上述图表不难得知，2015年旅游业总收入已达到2.5万亿元，年均增长率10%。从图表中给出的数据我们可以看出，旅游业增加值占全国GDP的比重为4.5%，占服务业增加值的比重为12%。

由于旅游业确实有很多优点，各个国家都在努力发展本国旅游业。首先，美景、迷人的景点以及辉煌的文化吸引了世界各地的游客，为促进不同文化背景之间人们的相互交流提供了很多机会。例如，改革开放以来，中国作为一个拥有丰富旅游资源的国家每年都吸引数以百万计的外国游客。此外，旅游可以丰富人们的知识，开阔人们的视野并且增进相互间的理解。通过旅游，我们中国人扩大了我们的认知范围，我们更多地了解了世界，并一直在学习如何更好地发展我们的国家。最后，旅游业带动了地方经济发展并促进了商业交流。

在我看来，一个国家很有必要通过发展旅游业来提升国际地位，同时促进国际理解以消除偏见。我们应该充分利用我们丰富的旅游资源来使我们的祖国变得更加美好。

中国每千户家庭拥有汽车数量



经典范文094

The figures in the above column chart display the stable increase of private cars from 1980 to 2010. As is shown in the chart, there were five private cars for every thousand families in 1980. During the next thirty years, the number rose steadily. It went up to 40 in 2000, and in 2010, there were 70 private cars in every thousand families.

There are a good many factors for the increase. The main reasons are as follows. To begin with, with the speedy development of the economy and the increase in people’s income, a large number of families could now afford a car. In addition, a great many Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are being extended with highways and many people’s houses are far away from their work places. For these people, owning a private car can save them time and bring a lot of conveniences. Finally, with the development of highways, transportation is greatly improved, which means better conditions for drivers, encouraging a lot of people to buy a car of their own.

From the discussion above, we can conclude that families in mounting numbers will own private cars, and private cars will become a common household transportation tool, just like the bicycle today.

上述柱状图中的数字显示了从1980年到2010年私家车的稳步增长情况。如图所示，在1980年，每一千个家庭拥有5辆私家车。在接下来的30年中，这个数字一直在平稳增长，2000年达到40辆，而到2010年每千户家庭拥有70辆私家车。

私家车的增长是由很多因素造成的，主要原因如下：首先，随着经济的迅猛发展和人们收入的增加，很多家庭有能力购买私家车。其次，中国有很多像北京、上海这样的城市因高速公路的建成而大大扩展，很多人的住所离工作地点很远，对于他们来说拥有私家车既可以节省时间，还能带来诸多方便。最后，随着高速公路的发展，交通状况大为改善，这意味着司机们拥有了更好的行车条件，也鼓励着更多人购买属于自己的车。

从上面的讨论中，我们可以得出如下结论：越来越多的家庭将拥有私家车，而私家车将成为一种普通的家庭交通工具，就像今天的自行车一样。

全球电子商务成交额统计



经典范文095

As can be seen from the above bar chart, the volume of global electronic commerce transactions has increased markedly during the past 15 years. In 1997, it was almost 2 billion dollars, while the number reached 90 billion in 2005. By 2011, the number jumped dramatically to 300 billion dollars, 150 times more than that of 1997.

Why is electronic commerce booming nowadays? Several causes contribute to this phenomenon. Above all, the availability of computers is foremost contributor. The rapid development of information technology has enabled nearly everybody to have access to computers and the Internet. Nowadays, common people are no longer a stranger to the Internet. What is more, Internet technology is becoming increasingly mature. People who at first do not trust business transactions online have now become convinced that electronic commerce is extremely convenient and efficient. Last but not least, electronic commerce is the fastest way so far to make transactions across long distances. It makes it possible to do business at home and it saves time and unnecessary formalities as well. That is why it is preferable to traditional commerce.

Booming electronic commerce undoubtedly contributes to the prosperity of the world economy. It has also given birth to SOHO, a special group of people working at home. The trend towards a promising e-commerce future is inevitable. Accordingly, let’s get prepared to embrace this irreversible tendency.



参考译文

由以上柱状图可以看出，在过去十五年中，全球电子商务年成交额显著增长。1997年，全球电子商务成交额约为20亿美元，而2005年这一数据增长到900亿美元。2011年这一数字飞涨到3000亿美元，是1997年的150倍。

为什么当今的电子商务发展如此之快呢？这一现象产生的原因有以下几个：首先，电脑的普及是最主要的原因，信息技术的迅猛发展几乎使每个人都用上了电脑和互联网。现在，对普通人来说，互联网已不再陌生。其次，互联网技术正日趋成熟。起初对网上商业交易不信任的人，现在已开始相信电子商务既方便又高效。最后但同样重要的是，电子商务是目前远距离交易最快的方式。电子商务使在家做生意成为可能，还节省了时间和不必要的手续。这就是与传统交易方式相比，电子商务更受青睐的原因。

快速发展的电子商务无疑有助于世界经济的繁荣，而且它催生了在家上班族（SOHO）。电子商务大有前途。因此，让我们准备好迎接这一不可逆转的趋势吧。

经典范文096

Since 1990, China has witnessed a great change in the ownership of houses. As the chart shows, the percentage of state-owned houses in a certain city in China decreased considerably, dropping from approximately 75% in 1990 to 20% in 2010, while the corresponding figures for private houses increased dramatically, rising from roughly 25% to 80% over the same period.

The rise and fall can be accounted for by a couple of factors. For one thing, the boom of the urban economy has resulted in the increase of family income and the improvement of family economic conditions has led to the changes of people’s minds. Nowadays, hire purchase or installment plan has found its growing popularity and acceptance. These have promoted the purchase of private houses. For another, the government has put in force a series of new policies which provide residents with subsidies and loans to encourage their real estate investment. These policies make it easier for an individual to buy his or her own house.

In my opinion, owning a house is also an excellent investment for an individual. With the population rising as quickly as it is, it is a very good idea to become a property owner. In the forthcoming years, land will be increasingly expensive, and therefore less attainable. Furthermore, if one buys a house, it is likely that he or she will be able to sell it at a reasonable profit in the future. Accordingly, the increase in house ownership is acceptable for both the authority and individuals, which should be encouraged.



参考译文

自1990年以来，中国的住房所有权发生了巨大的变化。如图表所示，某城市国有住房的比例大幅度减少，从1990年的大约75%下降到2010年的20%，而同一时期私有住房的比例急剧增长，从大约25%增长到80%。

这种起落是由多个因素造成的。一方面，城市经济的快速发展使居民的家庭收入不断增加，而家庭经济条件的逐渐改善带来人们思想观念的转变。如今，分期付款的购房方式越来越受到人们的欢迎和接受。这些都促使个人购房比率快速上升。另一方面，政府实施了一系列新政策给居民提供购房补贴和贷款来鼓励人们投资不动产。这些政策使得个人购房变得更加容易。

我认为，对个人而言，拥有自己的房子也是极好的投资。随着人口的快速增长，拥有房产是明智的选择。将来土地会越来越贵，因此也越来越难得到。另外，如果一个人买了房子，他将来可以把房子卖了赚一笔钱。因此越来越多的人拥有房产对政府和个人来说都是好事，应该鼓励。

As is illustrated in the chart/diagram/graph/table, the number of ______ is roughly/approximately ______ in ______. Obviously/Apparently, the number of ______ has been on a dramatic rise/decrease over the past few years.

What accounts for the change/difference? From my perspective, at least three factors contribute to it. To begin with, the change is closely related to the rising income of Chinese people. More importantly, the change has a lot to do with the turning of people’s attitude towards and outlook on life. Last but not least, the change is enhanced and promoted by the government’s better policies as well as the more convenient channels in the ______ field.

三 教育文化类


As is illustrated in the chart, ______. Unfortunately, ______. Undoubtedly, ______.

The impressive chart has revealed the duality of the relationship between man and ______. On the one hand, there is no denying that ______ is currently one of the most prevalent ______. As a college student, I ______. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too addicted to ______ to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle. Once indulging in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others or to concentrate on real life. That’s why some people have lost the skill of direct contact and get alienated from others.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to ______ in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, ______ was invented to connect us, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than setting barriers to keep people beyond reach.



参考译文

这幅图表揭示了______。不幸的是，______。毫无疑问，______。

这幅使人印象深刻的图表揭示了人与______之间的双重关系。一方面，不可否认______是目前最流行的______之一。作为一名大学生，我______。但另一方面，很多人承认他们太依赖______来维持规律和健康的生活方式。一旦沉迷于这种虚幻的世界，人们会变得不愿接近他人或者不愿专注于现实生活。这就是一些人失去了直接沟通的技能，与他人渐渐疏远的原因。

因此，我们很有必要以一种合理的方式______，避免过度沉迷。毕竟，人们发明______是为了连接你我，给我们的生活带来便利，而非设置障碍，使人们彼此疏远。





四 教育文化类


The diagram above clearly illustrates that dramatic elevation has occurred in the ______ field in the past ______ years. According to the statistics given above, we may conclude that the ______ was on a steady rise from ______ to ______. In ______, the number was at a low level, only about ______. Surprisingly, it reached to ______ in ______ within no more than ______ years.

The reasons for this trend are as follows. In the first place, it has long been an accepted fact that a higher degree is a pre-requisite for finding a good job or a promising career. Having a career implies a progression in one’s work life, whereby one can progress into increasingly responsible positions with a commensurate increase in pay. In the second place, in our highly competitive society, whether one is in China or the US, it can be said that it is impossible for a person to find a good job with a promising future without at least a college degree. Even this is not always enough, and increasingly more and more young people are continuing on for their master’s or doctoral degrees.

From the analysis given above, we may predict that in order to remain competitive in the workplace as well as in salary, people in mounting numbers will go back to school to further their education, even though they have already had their college or university degree.



参考译文

上述图表清楚地揭示了过去的______年在______领域出现了急剧增长。根据上面给出的数据，我们可以得出结论：从______到______年，______稳步增长。在______年，______的数量较少，只有大约______。令人惊讶的是，仅仅______年间，______的数量已达到______。

形成上述趋势的原因如下。首先，只有拥有更高的学位，才能找到一份好工作并拥有光明的职业前景，这是大家公认的事实。一个人拥有一份职业，标志着其职业生涯的一大进展，之后他的职位可以越坐越高，薪水相应地也越赚越多。其次，无论中国、美国，在当今社会，竞争极其激烈，一个人如果连大学文凭都没有，可以说就找不到前景光明的好工作。光有大学文凭甚至还不够，越来越多的年轻人都在继续深造，攻读硕士或博士学位。

根据上述分析我们可以预计：为了保持在工作单位和薪水方面的竞争力，许多人即使已经取得了大学文凭，仍将回到大学继续深造。





五 教育文化类


As is shown in the above diagram, the number of ______ fluctuated significantly/slightly during the ______ year period. According to the graph, the data in ______ was ______, more/less than half/a third/quarter of the total in ______.

The data reflects that due attention has to be paid to ______. There are many/different/several main/primary/fundamental reasons/causes/factors for this significant/vital/crucial issue. Among the most convincing causes identified by people, one should be stressed, that is ______. What’s more, ______ is gaining its influence. To sum up, it is apparent that the diagram has reminded us of the significance of ______ in our society.

Education is becoming a lifetime practice, just as the old saying goes, “Live and learn.” After all, there is no denying the fact that education is of benefit to both personal growth and economic prosperity. And this is also the exact reason why I have determined to ______.



参考译文

如上述图表所示，______的数量在______年的时间内急剧/缓慢波动。根据图表，______年的数据是______，多/少于______年总数的一半/三分之一/四分之一。

数据反映出我们必须充分重视______。形成这一重要问题有许多/不同/几个主要原因。在人们所认定的一些最有说服力的原因中，有一点原因应该得到重视，那就是______。此外，______的影响也日益深入。总而言之，很显然这幅图表提醒了我们______在这个社会中的意义。
