  1. ) interpret the chart and
  2. ) give your comments.

2010年

分为三段写,因此

第一段:

In the light of bar chart above,it is evident that the period between 2000 and 2008 has witnessed dramatic changes in mobile-phone subscriptions.While the number of cellphone subscriptions in developed countries rose slightly from about 0.6 billion to 1 billion,that in developing countries rocketed up from around 0.5 billion to 4 billion.What’s more,the statistics of developing countries exceeded that of its rival for the first time in 2003,and then rocketed up since 2005.

知识点提示:
描写比较数据的句式一般为:
while 句 1(相对不重要的部分),句 2(重点放在后面讲)

句 1:具体类别(主语)+ 变化趋势(谓语) + from …… to …… .

同义词:

大约:
about 、 nearly 、 around 、 roughly 、 some(后面加数字为大约的意思) 、 approximately

超过:
exceeded 、 pass 、 surpass

短语:

witnessed dramatic changes in
在 …… 方面发生了巨大变化

rose slightly
上升缓慢(rose是rise的过去式)

rocketed up
像火箭般上升

第二段:

In effect,there are a host of accessible reasons,I reckon,that gave rise to this remarkable phenomenon.First and foremost,with the rapid advance of economy,those in developing countries became better off and attained increasingly greater purchasing power,which explains the sharp rise of the smart-phone subscriptions there. An equally critical factor is the significant improvement of technology, which ensured the mass production of cellphones and affordable prices,promoting the phone industry in developing countries to boom and flourish.

第三段:

Basing on the analysis above,we may safely conclude that economy and technology are two contributing factors for the thriving of phone subscriptions. Therefore,it is highly suggested that we strive to promote economy and technology in order to push forward mobile-phone industry.

  1. ) interpret the chart and
  2. ) give your comments.
    You should write at least 150 words.

2015年

分为三段写,因此

第一段:

In the light of the pie chart above,there are dramatic differences in the proportions of spending of Chinese citizens during the Spring Festival.While the expenses on transportation,taking dinner parties and others account for 20% respectively,that on purchasing New Year's gifts makes up 40%,which equals twice of each of the former three.

第二段:

In effect,there are a host of accessible reasons,I reckon,that gave rise to the remarkable phenomenon.First and foremost,it is a well-known fact that Chinese place a high value on interpersonal relationship,constantly visiting and partying with relatives,friends as well as colleagues,which explains the huge expenses on gift-giving and dinner parties. Besides,during the Spring Festival,the most important holiday in China,nearly all those working far away from parents and children return home to reunite with their families,spending large sums of money on traffic fees.

短语:

party with somebody
与某人聚会

第三段:

Basing on the analysis above,we may conclude that with the continuous advance in economy and society,this established trend will continue for quite a while in the future.And it is worth noting that while viewing this consuming mode with respect,we should also cultivate an atmosphere of reasonable consumption.
