亲爱的小伙伴们:首先告诉自己:曲线图并不难,不难,不难。然后我们来一起熟悉一下如何描述PTE口语 describe image 题中的曲线图吧!
1.审题,理解横轴,纵轴坐标,代表含义及单位。
2.观察直线走势,不外乎三类:上升,下降,波动。
上升的表达:rise, grow, ascend,increase to;急剧上升:shoot up to, surge, soar;
下降的表达:drop to, decline to,fall, 急剧下降:plunge to, plummet to
波动:fluctuates over (a period of time)
稳定:stand at
3.找出极值:最高点 peak at; 最低点 bottom out at
4.数字前用大约:about,around, roughly, approximately
5.超过:overtake, exceed, surpass
The line graph highlights the rate of smoking in Someland by both men andwomen over 40 years from 1960 to 2000.
Male smokers were the highest in 1960 at 600 thousand and it gradually decline to a low of around 300 thousand in 2000.
On the other hand, the number of women smokers was the lowest in 1960 at 100 thousand and it gradually increase, peaking at 300 thousand in 1975 and eventually decreased to 200 thousand in 2000.第三句话,另一条线,同样强调极值和趋势。
Overall, although men were traditionally heavier smokers than women in1960, both are smoking at almost the same rate at 250 to 300 thousand in 2000.总结整体趋势,得出结论。
祝大家早日考过PTE!
