The table below shows the consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain from 1972 to 1983.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The chart shows that the percentage of British households with a range of consumer durables steadily increased between 1972 and 1983. The greatest increase was in telephone ownership, rising from 42% in 1972 to 77% in 1983. Next came central heating ownership, rising from 37% of households in 1972 to % in 1983. The percentage of households with a refrigerator rose 21% over the same

period and of those with a washing machine by 14%. Households with vacuum-cleaners, televisions and dishwashers increased by 8%, 5% and 2% respectively. In 1983, the year of their introduction, 18% of households had a video recorder.

The significant social changes reflected in the statistics are that over the period the proportion of British houses with central heating rose from one to two thirds, and of those with a phone from under a half to over three-quarters. Together with the big increases in the ownership of washing machines and refrigerators, they are evidence of both rising standards and the trend of lifestyles based on comfort and convenience.

The table below shows the consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain from 1972 to 1983.

第一段

The chart shows that the percentage of British households with a range of consumer durables steadily increased between 1972 and 1983.

 第一句话通常有两种写作目的：第一种，也是最常见的，基本上是对标题的改写，

也就是提出这张图是什么；第二种，这是本文所采用的，揭示文中的主要特征，相当于全文的主旨句，但是这就得注意在文章结尾时，如何同义重复这个观点。

 The chart/table shows 通用的介绍图表的表达

 households with a range of consumer durables同义表达 durables owned by British

 household [c] 家庭，同义词family，但两者用法上是还有区别的，household雅思图表中经常用的，表示家庭这个概念，无感情色彩，但是family是个有强烈感情色彩的词

 consumer durables前面加了a range of具有修饰作用

 steadily 稳步的，表示增长的方式，经常用到

 between 1972 and 1983实际上为 from 1972 to 1983

The greatest increase was in telephone ownership, rising from 42% in 1972 to 77% in 1983.

 The greatest increase is in sth, rising from… to…就增长幅度最大者表述的常用句型

 ownership 与households with sth, 或 durables owned by sb 含义类似，但是表达的中心词是不一致的，分别为ownership 拥有的状态， household 家庭

durables 耐用品

Next came central heating ownership, rising from 37% of households in 1972 to % in 1983.

 这时一个倒装句，某些 [adv]，特别是地点副词，举例说明Here is the pen. 副词置于句首，这种倒装称为修辞倒装（对应于语法倒装）。还原句型为 Ownership came next.

 Next came sth. 这是一个表示“第二位”的常用句型

The percentage of households with a refrigerator rose 21% over the same period and of those with a washing machine by 14%.

 The percentage of households with a refrigerator… and the percentage of households with a washing machine 这句是个省略句型

 rise by 21%和rise 21%意思相等，均为“上涨幅度是21%”，by可有可无

 over the same period是指代前面的between 1972 and 1983

Households with vacuum-cleaners, televisions and dishwashers increased by 8%, 5% and 2% respectively.

 与上一句表达意思类似，不过用了respectively起到省略的作用，如果按照上句的句型，补充完整则应当为 households with vacuum cleaners increased by 8% and those with televisions by 5% and dishwasher by 2%.

In 1983, the year of their introduction, 18% of households had a video recorder.

 这句话是描述的某一点情况，而前面句子描述的是动态变化

 the year of their introduction描述了video recorder的动态情况

第二段

The significant social changes reflected in the statistics are that over the period the proportion of British houses with central heating rose from one to two thirds, and of those with a phone from under a half to over three-quarters.

 句子主干为The changes are that the proportion (percentage) of British houses (households) with sth rose from… to…

 分数的表示 one third 三分之一 two thirds 三分之二 a half 一半 three quarters 四分之三

Together with the big increases in the ownership of washing machines and refrigerators, they are evidence of both rising standards and the trend of lifestyles based on comfort and convenience.

 与上句表达雷同 Together with the increase of the ownership of sth, they are evidence of

词汇句型积累

表示时间的： between and 1983; over the same period; over the priod

表示第一第二的：the greatest increase is; next came

表示增长的： rise from…to…

(The percentage of sth) rose by 21%

原题

The table below shows the proportion of different categories of families living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The table gives a breakdown of the different types of family who were living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

On average, 11% of all households, comprising almost two million people, were in this position. However, those consisting of only one parent or a single

adult had almost double this proportion of poor people, with 21% and 19% respectively.

Couples generally tended to the better off, with lower poverty levels for couples without children (7%) than those with children (12%). It is noticeable that for both types of household with children, a higher than average proportion were living in poverty at this time.

Older people were generally less likely to be poor, though once again the trend favored elderly couples (only 4%) rather than single elderly people (6%).

Overall the table suggests that households of single adults and those with children were more likely to be living in poverty than those consisting of couples.

题目

The table below shows the proportion of different categories of families living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

 看看题目的要求main features和comparisons, 这也是雅思图表作文的常规的要求

开头段

The table gives a breakdown of the different types of family who were living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

 标准的图表作文格式，提示图表内容，写作手法就是改写题目（一定要改写，照抄扣分），下面我们对照改写部分：

✓ The table below shows 改为 The table gives

✓ the proportion 改为 a breakdown

✓ different categories 改为 different types

✓ living in poverty 现在分词作定语改为定语从句 who were living in poverty

 作者改写方式很简单，也很实用，就是简单的近义词替换

主体一段

On average, 11% of all households, comprising almost two million people, were in this position.

 on average引出了平均值的介绍，sb is in this position

 在整体与部分的表达中，有两类词组，需要特别注意

✓ 包括 整体包括部分：consist of, comprise, include

✓ 组成 部分组成整体 make up, compose, constitute

However, those consisting of only one parent or a single adult had almost double this proportion of poor people, with 21% and 19% respectively.

 指出极端值

 one parent or a single adult文中指的就是young adults,

 double 词性为前位限定词，就是放在冠词之前的词，常见的结构为 double the number/amount/size, 如We will need double this amount for eight people, double还可替换为 a quarter 四分之一, half一半, twice两倍, triple三倍, three times三倍

主体二段

Couples generally tended to the better off, with lower poverty levels for couples without children (7%) than those with children (12%).

 指出couple比single好，Couples generally tended to be better off 言简意赅，写得太好了

 generally [adv] 指一般情况

 tend to do [vt] 倾向于，减缓语气，不说绝对的话，这个表达太常用了，让我们铭记在心吧

 better off/worse off [adj]：better off 情况更好 worse off 情况更糟

 with 介词短语表示补充说明couples的情况，以前就谈到过，任何比较结构必须弄清楚三点，比较对象和比较属性，以及比较特征词，此处的比较对象为 couples without children与couples with children，比较属性为 poverty levels, 比较特征词为lower。

 此处表达为完整句子为 Poverty levels for couples without children (7%) are lower than poverty levels for couples with children (12%), 所以必须注意的是those with children中的those指代是 the poverty levels for couples这个部分，比较两个部分必须对等，否则是错误的，切记，我们中国学生最容易犯比较成分不对等的毛病

It is noticeable that for both types of household with children, a higher than average proportion were living in poverty at this time.

 指出children 比 no children的贫困率低，It is noticeable that 是一个万能句型

 a higher than average proportion 中的higher than average为复合形容词

主体三段

Older people were generally less likely to be poor, though once again the trend favored elderly couples (only 4%) rather than single elderly people (6%).

 指出aged people 比 young adults 好， Older people were generally less likely to be poor 与上文中的Couples generally tended to be better off有异曲同工之妙，简直是经典重现

 be most/more/less/lest likely to do sth 中likely [adj], 这个句型表达可能性，很有用

 though 名为转折，实际上是表示补充说明

 The trend favored A rather than B, 这个表达俺就是用中文也想不出来啊，赶快记住，这可以表示两者比较

结尾段

Overall the table suggests that households of single adults and those with children were more likely to be living in poverty than those consisting of couples.

 Overall the table suggests that… 典型的图表作文结尾句，归纳一下图表的表达含义，这里表达单身和有孩子使人贫困（因为上文明确谈到了aged people, 所以这里没有重复）

 be likely to do sth 再次运用表达可能性的结构

词汇句型积累

这篇范文的开头和结尾段是典型的图表作文模式，开头通过改写文章题目来提示图表内容，结尾段归纳总结图表含义，大家要仔细揣摩，掌握这个模式

绝对多数图表作文都要求做comparison, 也就是两者比较，

比较句的三要素就是比较对象和比较属性，还有对比较属性作修饰的比较特征词

Those consisting of only one parent or a single adult had almost double this proportion of poor people.

 比较对象： those (one parent or a single adult) 和all households

 比较属性： the proportion of poor people

 比较特征词 double (前位限定词)

Couples generally tended to be better off

 比较对象 couples与 singles

 比较属性 生活水平

 比较特征词 better off [adj]

Older people were generally less likely to be poor

 比较对象 older people 和young people

 比较属性 生活水平

 比较特征词 less [adv]

特殊的比较句型

The trend favored elderly couples rather than single elderly people.

 比较对象 elderly couples 与 single elderly people

 比较属性 生活水平

 比较特征词 favor [vt]

For both types of household with children, a higher than average proportion were living in poverty.

 比较对象 household with children与 all households

 比较属性 a proportion of poor people

 比较特征词 higher [adj]

The table compares the proportion of people from each household type living in poverty in Australia in the year of 1999.

What is noticeable is that in 1999, the percentage of all households living in poverty was as high as 11%, involving 1,837,000 people, of which sole parent families and single-without- children families accounted for 21% and 19% respectively.

Apparently, the other three types of families, namely, couples with children, couples without children and single aged people who lived in poverty took up 12%, 7% and 6% respectively, far lower than the percentages of the two above-mentioned types of families.

Thus, we have learnt about some statistics about various types of families living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

这个表格对比了1999年澳大利亚不同类型贫困家庭的人口比例。

The table compares the proportion of people from each household type living in poverty in Australia in the year of 1999.

再者，显而易见，另外三种类型的家庭，即：有孩子的夫妇、没有孩子的夫妇和单身老年人分别有12%、7%和6%的比重，远比上述两类家庭所占比例低。

Apparently, the other three types of families, namely, couples with children, couples without children and single aged people who lived in poverty took up 12%, 7% and 6% respectively, far lower than the percentages of the two above-mentioned types of families.
