一篇优秀的图标作文的评判标准为有三个：目的明确、主题鲜明、结构配置得当。拿到一篇图表作文后，烤鸭在心里应该时刻谨记该类作文核心原则主要有2个，即Summarize & Make comparisons(写作目的、最重要的信息&归类)。

　　图表作文可采用分段模式撰写，即：2+X(2代表开篇和结尾;X代表分类的结果和图形的数量)。在图表作文行文撰写过程中，考生有3点值得注意：

　　第一，开门见山。开篇即明确说明图表传达给你的主题意思。此处，可借助时间变化和数量变化两个要素引入。

　　第二，段落主体，细节分类、并给出一些支持结论的证据或过程。考生应看图表中的变化项：哪些对象上升，哪些对象下降，哪些不变，还可以看比较：哪个对象是“最好王者”。此处有些可以借鉴的撰写规则，如：名词照抄，动词和抽象名词替换，时间和地点不变，突出“指代”等等。

　　第三，文章结尾，结合目的，明确的给出图表中最为重要的信息。

　　范文举例：Cambridge 8 ? Test 1

　　The chart compares the proportions of overgrazing, over-cultivation, deforestation and others. The table compares the percentages of overgrazing, over-cultivation and deforestation in North America, Europe and Oceania during 1990 ? 2000. 文章的开篇与提示句不同之处在于：你是在看过图表后产生的具体的描述。

　　结尾：

　　Overall, it is clear that overgrazing, over-cultivation and deforestation are main causes of global land degradation, and that the primary causes of land degradation in the three areas were different : North America (Over-cultivation), Europe (Deforestation), and Oceania (Overgrazing), and Europe had the most seriously affected land of the three countries.

　　中间段：- 分段，每段的主题句如何支持最后的结论 X= 2

　　第一段：第一句：最大值， while第二句：接近的值归类. However, 其余的不重要的值

　　The most primary cause of land degradation in the world is over-grazing, accounting for 35%, while other two main causes are over-cultivation and deforestation, occupying 28% and 30% respectively. The reminder only takes up 7%.

　　23% of land in Europe was degraded, which was the most serious, and 9.8% of land degradation was caused by deforestation, as well as 7.7% (over-cultivation) and 5.5% (overgrazing). 13% of land in Oceania was spoiled, and 11.3% of land spoiled was because of over-grazing, while 5% of land was degraded in North America, and 3.3% of the land degradation was subject to over-cultivation.

　　A complete composition
