IELTS Bar and Line Graph

线形图和柱状图写作

以下这个例子是将柱状图和线形图结合的一道题，这种题型在雅思考试中是常见的。第一眼看过去难免头晕~但是仔细看过一下及不难发现，其实这种题无异于单独描述一种表格的题目。

那么我们就来看一下问题和图表吧！

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The line graph shows visits to and from the UK from 1979 to 1999, and the bar graph shows the most popular countries visited by UK residents in 1999.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

无论是描述单独的表格还是混合表格，基本上都要涵盖到这两部分：

Introduction

前言

当你在陈述表格内容的时候，两个不同表格的内容都要涉及到。来看一下参考答案吧。

The line graph illustrates the number of visitors in millions from the UK who went abroad and those that came to the UK between 1979 and 1999, while the bar chart shows which countries were the most popular for UK residents to visit in 1999.

不难看出雅思作文的一个特点：可以转述可以，直接抄题目，绝对不可以！接下来就要把表格中的要点表达清楚。可是往往一个表格的要点有很多，都写的话肯定写不完，这时候就挑选一个最明显的就可以了。

Body Paragraphs、

主干

像这种两个表格混合的题目，一定要小心不要描述所有信息。如果每一个点都写到这篇文章就会过于冗杂。考官在看的是你提取重要信息的能力，而不是描述所有细节的能力。

所以描述双表格题目的核心能力点就是选择重要信息和总结概括的能力。否则就会像之前说的，写太多没用的东西。

参考答案：

To begin, the number of visits abroad by UK residents was higher than for those that came to the UK, and this remained so throughout the period. The figures started at a similar amount, around 10 million, but visits abroad increased significantly to over 50 million, whereas the number of overseas residents rose steadily to reach just under 30 million.

By far the most popular countries to visit in 1999 were France at approximately 11 million visitors, followed by Spain at 9 million. The USA, Greece, and Turkey were far less popular at around 4, 3 and 2 million visitors respectively.
As you can see, the first paragraph discusses the line graph, and the second the bar chart.

线状图和柱状图是分开两段分开写的。通常是不需要把两种不同的表格合并在一起写的。
