附：关于图表作文的描述方法：
第一种情况：横向对比。描述这种图表需要对比各数据间的差别，主要以数值、倍数、排列等方式来描述。
1、A department has the lowest sales figure in the three departments, followed by the B department and C department。
2、The figure of A is about twice as much that of B。
3、The income from sales is 10 million, making the company the highest one in sales。
4、The A’s income reaches 20 million, which is in the middle of the list。
第二种情况：纵向说明。只要指出不同单位之间的比较，描述如何增减，增减幅度如何，反映出什么问题，就可以了。描述这样的图表时，可以用以下的词汇和句型：
The rise lasted for two weeks and then began to level off in June。
The trend/ increase slowed down in May。
The trend of increasing working hours began to gain momentum in January. (开始走强)
Prices went up by 50%， but the number of smokers maintained。
It picked up speed at the end of this year。
常用词汇及表达法：increase, decrease, rise, fall, slow, down, level off, pick up speed, maintain, drop, the trend reverses, decline, gain/ lose momentum, a steady/ substantial increase, a minor/ slight/ dramatic drop
第三种情况：纵向、横向均有的说明。这种图标不仅要注意同一事物的变化趋势，也要注意不同事物之间的差距及变化。
表示百分比常用句型：
It accounts for 30% of the total population。
There are 4 members with master’s degrees, making up nearly a quarter of the workforce。
Doctors make up 40% of the staff in the hospital。
表示增长率的常用句型：
