表格 五個城市的時薪/稅率/月租金

The table below shows information on incomes, taxes and prices in five cities around the world.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 

類型：表格

寫作關(guān)鍵：

描述【比較】，即三個項目之間的比較，以及五個不同城市間的比較。

【Introduction】

段內(nèi)容通常是對整個圖表信息的概述

Shown in the table are individuals’ hourly income, the corresponding tax rate as well as their expenditure on housing per month, and five cities – Athens, Geneva, Hong Kong, London and Tokyo – are investigated.

劃線部分為倒裝句，需注意動詞需與后面內(nèi)容的單復(fù)數(shù)保持一致。

【詞匯小結(jié)】

corresponding adj.相應(yīng)的

expenditure n. 開支；花費

investigate v. 研究

【Body 1】

主體段落中，需體現(xiàn)對數(shù)據(jù)信息的分組，找出數(shù)值之間的異同點。

In terms of the income earned per hour, a remarkable disparity can be observed. Geneva and Tokyo draw immediate attention for their high levels of income, both exceeding 10 pounds, in stark contrast with those in the remaining countries, where people earn far less than 10 pounds per hour. Likewise, the tax rate witnesses a similar situation. The figure for London takes the lead, accounting for 31.3%, [伴隨狀語] approximately twice as large as that in Hong Kong (15%). 

該段先寫前兩個比較項，都是與收入相關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)，即【時薪vs稅率】，置于同一段落，分開對比各自的數(shù)值情況。句和第二句是【總—分】關(guān)系；第三句和第四句是【總—分】關(guān)系。

【詞匯小結(jié)—使用體現(xiàn)“比較關(guān)系”的詞匯短語】

disparity n. 不平等，（不公平的）差異

in stark contrast with 形成鮮明對比

far less than 遠(yuǎn)不及，少得多

【Body 2】

比較【房屋月租金支出占比】

With regard to the monthly expense of renting a 4-bedroom flat, Tokyo also stands out for the heaviest rent pressure, as citizens have to spend as much as 5, 300 pounds. [原因狀語從句] By stark contrast, as for the four remainders, a comparatively low rent is allotted, with figures ranging from 700 to 2,400 pounds. [獨立主格]

【詞匯小結(jié)】

remainder n. 剩余部分；剩余物

allot v. 分派；分配

【Conclusion】

Overall, the numerical difference regarding the wage and the cost for rent varies enormously from city to city.
