譬如说你想描述 west Europe 这个数字： 45.5%
分子：45.5（西欧的水消耗量） 分母： 100 （全世界的水消耗量）
那么就可以说：
1 45.5% of the world’s bottled water was consumed in West Europe.

2 The consumption of bottled water in West Europe accounted for 45.5% of the world’s consumption. 下面这是错误的表达：
The consumption of bottled water in West Europe accounted for 45.5% of the world.
45.5% of the world was in West Europe.
√ West Europe was responsible for the largest proportion of the world’s bottled water consumption Incorrect: West Europe was responsible for the largest proportion of the world
这个图是静态，强调对比
两个图的单位不同，因此分开写，一个图写一段，总共两段
第一个图从最高值开始说起
第二个图有些值比较类似，可以归类
时态是过去时

The table below gives information about the percentage of workforce employed in six industries between 1989 and 2009.
Industries

%
1989

Manufacturing
Retail
Healthcare
Construction
Education
Tourism

2009
15%
11.8%
9.6 %
7.6%
6.8%
5.5%

替换词
Working population, those in the workforce
如果你想描述 15% 这个数字
分子：15（制造业的劳动力） 100 （整个国家的劳动力）

9.8%
10.1%
11.3%
8.3%
7.5%
7.3%

可以说：
1 15% of the country’s working population worked in the manufacturing sector.
2 Those working in the manufacturing sector accounted for 15% of the country’s working population. 这个图是动态，强调趋势
总共有六个行业，分开写
第一段写 retail, healthcare，因为 2009 年的数据比较高
第二段写其他四个行业的变化
时态是过去时

The table gives information about students’ opinions on different aspects of courses they attended in a university in 2012.
Percentage of students rating aspects of their course as “very good”
Aspect/course Pre-course information Business
62%
Computing
61%
Maths
64%

Teaching quality 93%
88%
64%

Tutor support
96%
85%
90%

Course content 74%
69%
72%

譬如说你想描述 62%这个数字
分子：62 （学习 BUSINESS 的学生里认为 pre-course information 很好的人）
分母：100 （全部学习 BUSINESS 的人）
可以说：
62% of business students were satisfied with pre-course information.
这个图是静态，强调对比
记得静态图不要自己和自己比，所以不要三个科目分开写，要结合写
第一段从 teaching quality, tutor support 开始写
第二段写其他三个标准， pre-course information, course content, resources

Resources
58%
56%
51%

时态是过去时
最后还要看看三个 COURSES 自己和自己比有什么规律。不难发现，所有科目都对 tutor support 比较满意，而对 resources 最不满意

动态
譬如说 50%，
分子是：the units of electricity produced by coal
分母是：total units of electricity

准确的句子：Half of Australia’s electricity was produced by coal.
准确的句子： The electricity produced by coal accounted for half of the country’ total production. 这个图是动态，强调趋势
总共有两个国家，分开写
第一段写 australia ， 注意最高值 coal
第二段写 France，注意最高值 nuclear power
时态是过去时

随便拿 20%为例：
分子的 20 是拿到 SCIENCE，MASTERDEGREE 的人， 100 是所有的员工。
可以说：20% of the company’s workforce had a master degree in science.
Those who obtained a master degree in science accounted for 20% of the company’s workforce in 1990.
如果你说：

The master degree of art accounted for 25% of all degrees.
就错了
这个图是动态，强调趋势
记得不要一年一年写，要结合写
第一段写 first degree, science, first degree, art, 因为两个数字在 2010 年都比较高
第二段写其他四个 DEGREES
时态是过去时
