写作建议：
在本书中的第二课中，我们就图表的写作进行了详细的讲解。本课的写作任务又是一个图表作文。
1.在写关于曲线图，示意图，表格的文章时，文章的一开头，文章的第一句话通常是说明图表主要反映的内容，相当于对于图表的一个高度概括。现在我们在这里列出此类作文的常用句型：
1).The table/chart/ diagram/ graph shows (that) …
The figure/ statistics shows (that) …
2).The diagram shows/ describes/ illustrates how…
3).According to the table/ chart /diagram/ graph/ figures…
As (is) shown in the table/ chart /diagram/ graph/ figures…

It can be seen from the table/ chart /diagram/ graph/ figures (that)…
We can see from the table/ chart /diagram/ graph/ figures (that)…
4).It is clear/ apparent from the diagram/ figures (that)…
2.本课的图表作文更多的涉及到了一些数据方面的比较，以及趋势变化的描写。接下来，我们列出一些图表作文中常用到的表示数据的句型。
There were more males than females (55% and 45% respectively).
男的比女的多(比例分别是55%和45%)
China and the United States both had 12%
中国和美国各占12%

中国的雇员占了总数的39%。
Company A’s profit percentage rose steadily, whereas that of Company B fell slightly.
公司A的利润稳步增长，而B的利润有所下降。

The number of children enrollment stayed the same…
There was little/hardly/no any change in the number of children enrolled from…to…
写作提纲：
首段：说明该图表所反映的内容。该图表通过五项经济指标说明中国正在消除贫困。
主体段落分为两个自然段。
1.概括说明该图反映的趋势，即随着时间的推移，中国人的生活水平大幅度提高，各项指标都有了很大的变化。
2.具体针对每一指标，分析从1949年到1995年人们生活质量所发生的变化。如：婴儿死亡率下降，寿命延长，儿童入学率提高，成人文盲数减少，生活在贫困线以下的人数减少。
结尾段：通过五项指标的纵向变化，可以得出结论：中国正在消除贫困，人民的生活质量已经得到了根本的提高。
China’s Reduction of poverty
The table uses five broad economic indicators to show china’s reduction of poverty from the year 1949 to 1995. The five main indicators are: infant mortality, life expectancy, children school enrollment, adult illiteracy and people below the poverty line.
According to this table, we can see that in 1949, when the new nation was founded for the first year, Chinese had by far the lowest quality of life in all the five indicators. When it came to the year 1995, the situation changed a lot. China is eliminating its poverty year by year.
It’s amazing to see that infant mortality fell by about 16% from 20% to 4.2% between the year 1949 and 1995. In 1949, Chinese life expectancy was only 35 years, but 40 years later, 1995 saw a longer life expectancy of 69 years. In those years, when our nation was first established, only 10% of children had the chance to go to school. The percentage had experienced a great change since then. In 1995, the rate of children school enrollment reached 99.7%. Adult illiteracy decreased dramatically by 61% from 1950s to 1995. There were altogether 260 million people who were living below the poverty line in 1978. By 1995, the number had dropped rapidly to 65 million, almost one fourth of the former amount.
In conclusion, it can be seen from the economic indicators that China, a developing country developed a lot in people’s life quality. It was reducing its poverty.公共英语等级考试
