雅思图表写作，不仅是学习写作文，还要学会记住各种表达方式，为今后读懂外刊，写作报表分析打基础。

今天内容有点杂，有柱状图，有折线图，还有energy consumption graph范文的分析，以及常用词汇的学习，Let's go.

先做个热身运动，看看下面经济类的短语，你能立刻翻译成英文吗？

   ①sedentary--adjective /ˈsed.ən.tər.i/ 缺乏锻炼的，少活动的

      ——involving little exercise or physical activity

     a sedentary job/occupation久坐的工作／职业

     My doctor says I should start playing sport  because my lifestyle is too sedentary.医生说，我应该进行些体育运动，因为我的生活方式太缺乏活动。

做个翻译练习：

骑自行车变得越来越不受欢迎。popular

中学生水平的翻译是：

Riding bicycles is becoming less and less popular.

变换popular的词性后的翻译是：

The popularity of riding bicycles has been declining.

Riding bicycles has been losing popularity.

受欢迎 gain popularity

从这个练习中，我们学到了popularity, decline, lose popularity, gain popularity，这些词汇很可能会用在图表分析的表达中，所以有时词的词性变换后，表达的句子就可能变得高大上了。

（一）雅思柱状图写作范文

（1）Introduce段，paraphrase改写问题卡，用连接词and

The bar chart provides information about the percentages of divorces in Finland and Sweden between 2011 and 2015.

为指代明确，the bar chart不变。

show=provide

the divorce rates=the percentages of divorces

in two European countries=in Finland and Sweden

from 2011 to 2015=between 2011 and 2015

（2）Overview段，先分别分析芬兰和瑞典离婚率的趋势。

Overall, Sweden experienced a downward trend, while Finland showed an upward trend throughout the period. Both countries' divorce rates had some flutuations. Although Finland initially had a lower rate, it outraced Sweden at the end of the period.
