支招小作文（79） |柱圖5：兩組柱子僅8個數(shù)字

* 柱圖，選自《劍橋雅思真題集10》

Shown in the two charts are the 2008 statistics regarding the numbers of UK graduates and postgraduates doing different types of work excluding full-time work. Overall, there are apparent similarities and minor differences between the two groups of graduates.

* 注意開頭處的倒裝現(xiàn)象。

* 注意詞匯：表達(dá)程度的形容詞apparent和minor。

Voluntary work, chosen by 3,500 graduates and 345 postgraduates, was the least popular choice among both groups. In fact, all graduates would rather be unemployed, and it is particularly the case among postgraduates, as the unemployed numbered 1,625.

* 首先索性把voluntary work這個情況最特殊又單純的destination用一句話寫完拉倒。

* 第 一句話中的動詞被動分詞引導(dǎo)的狀語插入，介紹了數(shù)字，又避免了羅列數(shù)字那樣的“流水賬”寫法。

* 第二句話是CC文脈的關(guān)鍵，讓第 一、二兩句話之間形成聯(lián)系的同時，又在句子內(nèi)部再次形成遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。

* 最后的由as引導(dǎo)的狀語從句中number的動詞用法，意義為“數(shù)目是”。

* 整個段落沒有用定語從句也一樣可以介紹清楚數(shù)值。

Further study is noticeable not only for it had the greatest and overwhelming popularity among graduates – as it was the destination of almost 30,000 graduates – but also for it was onepreference for postgraduates, which was the choice of 2,725 people. The other preferred destination of postgraduates was part-time employment, as there were 2,535 postgraduates who chose it. In addition, when graduates would not choose further study, theyopt for either doing part-time work or being unemployed as two equally preferable choice.

* 由not only … but also … 構(gòu)建的句子是亮點。

* 主語/句子開頭的多樣是另一個亮點：每個句子（包括主句和從句）的主語/句子開頭各不相同。

* 第 一句的末尾出現(xiàn)了用定語從句介紹數(shù)值的語法現(xiàn)象。

* 詞匯注意：overwhelming這個表達(dá)程度的形容詞；與“選擇”相關(guān)的動詞opt for、形容詞preferrable、名詞preference。

In general, while those four destinations had different popularity in each of two groups, the two groups show similar inclinations for them. 

* 詞匯注意：與“選擇”相關(guān)的名詞inclination。
