【雅思写作】调查问卷式图表作文的典型词句总结
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,雅思专家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。
| 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | |
| holiday | 15246 | 14898 | 17896 | 19703 | 20700 |
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。最后附上一些调查问卷式考题作为补充学习资料。
