6、raduates find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?第12页/共54页Tips开头段落在六个数字中仅仅列举了1981和1992年有关找专业对口的工作的毕业生人数的两个数字，因为这是文章要重点讨论的，其余四个数字就不必列出了。第13页/共54页图二Enthusiasm for SportsEnthusiasm for Sports.You must write no less than 120 words and explain WHY many TV viewers like to watch sports.第14页/共

9、节目，而不是要介绍各类节目的收视率，所以具体准确的数字就没有必要写出来了。第16页/共54页易犯错误&解决方法盲目地把图表中所有数据都描写出来，不管是否和主题有关。解决方法：可以在描写和引用数字前，先把这些数据要反映的问题用一句话写出来。这样就把数据看成是一种用来说明问题的具体数据材料(statistical evidence)。选用的数据必须和论述有关。第17页/共54页例1图一第一段第一句：Each year thousands upon thousands of graduates flood the job market,waving their college diplomas an
