【寫作小貼士】
表格題(Table)曾經出現在劍橋系列叢書B5P98“Underground Railway Systems”---單表格、B6P30“Global water use by sector”+“Water consumption in Brazil and Congo in 2000”---線圖+表格、B7P30“Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category---2002”以及B8P30“Causes of worldwide land degradation”+“Causes of land degradation by region”---餅圖+表格,針對此類題目,需提醒大家注意的是:仔細觀察表格橫行和縱列各自代表的意義,另外在body paragraph(s)寫作的過程中,第一縱列內所列內容一個不能缺,具體如下:第一、開頭introduction釋義題目,變換題目words, phrases and sentence structure;第二、在寫作body paragraph(s)時,注意“相似數據”描述以及“大小數據”比較論述;第三、conclusion段寫作時,注意對body paragraph(s)數據客觀解析部分進行總體趨勢概述。
