对于大部分单一的pie,line,table 和bar chart,相信大部分同学已经通过课堂上的学习和前面的文章掌握了熟练的模版以及应试技巧,通常也是主要从trend和extremity的方面去概述图片信息。然而大多数同学对图表中富含多重信息量或指向不明的非传统图片类题目总会有困扰,今天就为大家来答疑解惑。
我们先来看一个复合型图片的考试真题:
相信很多同学考试时都碰到过这道原题,初看会觉得信息量大但图片较简单,殊不知当你将所有信息按pie chart和line graph图表描述方式详细展开时,时间却极其不够用,甚至出现了右边line graph压根说不到的情况。这是由于图片中的标题和细节信息量过多所致,由于我们的DI题目受到40秒recording time制约,按平均语速来说,长度应以5句话为主。所以在25秒的reading time中我们应及时反应出此类复合型图片应大幅缩减信息量,并缩短句式,有些同学会尝试去找图片中的similarities & difference,但是由于读题时间有限,很容易出现流利度问题。因此,按考试时的应急思维简单将该图表划分为:
General overview + introduction of picture 1 + description of picture 1 + introduction of picture 2 + description of picture 2
这样的5句即可,test available answer如下:
1. The mixed pictures depict the situations that “many males are outside the labour force”.
2. As we could observe from the pie chart (connecting), it shows the male labour market between 2005 and 06.
3. Most of them, which is 68%, were employed, while only a few of them, 4%, were unemployed, with 28% of males not in the labour force.
4. The line graph shows the trend in economic inactivity from 1910-11 to 2005-06.
5. According to the graph, the figure of females remained steady then dropped down significantly, especially after 1961; however the number of males constantly increased.
因此在本图中,从第一个角度来描述:
It is clear that Riesling occupied the lowest sales among all of the wines. On the other hand, Semillion represented the highest, followed by merlot. And Shiraz and Sparkling made similar sales.
从第二种角度:
QLD and VIC consumed the largest amount of wine, while NSW consumed the least amount.
