首句重要吗?
第一印象何其重要,姑娘和小伙儿相亲,很少有见姑娘不化妆就去了的。你是想做那考官眼中那个化了妆的小美女?还是想做一眼看穿的丑媳妇?
想做小美女的,请往这边看,小作文的第一句就相当于是你给别人的第一印象。
假设你正常的文章分数在5分到6分之间,如果门面做得不堪入目,那考官自然会从4分开始想起,再慢慢往上调整分数,直到5分为止;相反,若是你那美图秀秀用得好,让考官从7分开始起评,那么考官就会从7分逐步往下调整,慢慢至6分,这样一来,自然就可以轻轻松松将6分收入囊中。
你的妆是美是丑,考官给你的起评分是高是低,全凭你首句怎么写?
首句怎么写?
下面让我们进入首句怎么写的讲解阶段吧~ 先通过几个例子来直观得感受一下首句的组成部分!
例句1:
The line graph presents the monthly rates of attendance experienced by the Shanghai Library in 2010.
例句2:
The table and graph show figures for bus ridership and urban population density in London, New York City and Tokyo in 2009.
例句3:
The two charts show the difference in American eating habits over a 15-year period between 1990 and 2005.
简单分析一下,可以发现首句的套路如下:(敲黑板,划重点!划重点!划重点!)
首句套路:数据源+动词+图表内容+地点+时间
上面这个首句公式中,数据源我们已经学习过(啥?!你不记得了,少年,你不行~ 复习一下吧),分别为
Line graph 线图
Pie chart 饼状图
Bar chart 柱状图
Table 表格
Diagram 流程图
Map 地图题
解决完“数据源”这一部分,“动词”可从后面4个单词中选用:give information about, present, illustrate, compare(该词仅适用于含有多条线/多张饼比较的情况)。
接下来让我们跳过“图表内容”这部分(为啥?你说为啥,当然是有点难呗~),直奔地点和时间,这里一大重中之重就是介词!介词!介词!了,一般情况下均选用 in+国家,in+年份。
重点1:对于国家的书写,题目中若出现了UK,USA等简写,在写作时务必写成the UK, the USA
重点2:对于跨越多个年份的表达,应该用from 某年 to 某年,或者between 某年 and 某年
重点3:如果仅有个别年份的相关信息,可以用 in the years 1999, 2000 and 2001,睁大你的狗眼,看清楚year 后面还有一个 s
