  餅圖 學生支出占比 – 2021.03.04真題

  The chart below shows the spending by students in four different categories in one country from 1985 to 2015.

  Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

  * 數據圖：【餅圖】

  * 此圖為【同項不同時】：比較關系存在于同個餅的四個成分間，也存在于四個餅之間。

  * 破題點：本圖為相同間隔年份的四個時間點，構成微弱的線性關系，實則可轉為線圖對待。

  【開頭段】

  Shown in the pies is how the proportions of students’ expenditure varied between 1985 and 2015.

  ● 第一句開頭的【倒裝】。注意動詞的單復數由倒置后的主語決定。

  ● how 引導名詞性從句

  【主體部分第1段】下降

  寫主體段前，先對表格信息進行分組：頭尾比較，整體趨勢看。

  Most notably, there is a downward trend in the percentages of three categories respectively – food, clothes, and entertainment. Food is the most regular one, whose rate stabilized at 30% in the first decade but shrank by 10% twenty years later. However, the two remainders saw an irregularity. *Although students allocated a quarter of their overheads to both dressing and recreation, the proportion of the former peaked at 28% in 1995, nearly cut by half in the end, whereas that of the latter fluctuated around 12% in the next three decades.

  ● 第一句和后面的句子是【總——分】和【遞進】關系。

  ● 【注意*句子的結構】 Although + 讓步狀語從句, 并列句1(cut by 為v.ed非謂語，意為“被削減了”), whereas + 并列句2

  ● 【注意以下 常見單詞不常見的詞義】

  ● stabilize vi. 保持平穩

  ● shrink vi. 縮水

  ● allocate…to… vt. <尤指時間、金錢、精力>分配

  ● overhead n.[C] <常做復數>日常性支出

  【主體部分第2段】上升+交點

  By stark contrast, an upward tendency could be observed in the remainder. Though least money - only one fifth of the total spending – was allotted to rent, its rate experienced a relatively sharp increase of 10% every decade, and notably, students even spent a half of the expenditure on it in 2015. The year of 1995 is noteworthy, as it witnessed that the percentage of rent was equivalent to that of food, and afterwards, rent replaced food to hold the lion’s share.

  ● 段與段之間的銜接也要做好

  ● 注意【現象描述】的寫法，而不是單純羅列數據

  ● equivalent to adj. 相等的(區別equal，平等的)

  hold the lion’s share 占據最大的比例

  【結尾段】

  Overall, the gaps among the proportions of four categories widened up considerably.
