【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 es given for male parttime workers, but female parttimers had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in fulltime employment, perhaps reflecting their work in the home. In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. Here too, men enjoyed more leisure time – over eight hours, pared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men. Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fiftyfour hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time. 分析 ： 題目 The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status. ? 簡單的題目，但是把文章的三個指標(biāo)都給談到了，時間 the amount of leisure time, 性別 by men and women，工作種類 of different employment status 第一段 The chart shows the number of hours enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 1998 – 9, according to gender and employment status. ? 典型的通過改寫題目，提示圖表的內(nèi)容 ? 看作者是如何談?wù)撊齻€指標(biāo)的，時間 the number of hours, 性別 men and women, 工作種類 according to gender and employment status（再次談到了性別），另外補充說明了圖形標(biāo)題的一點內(nèi)容 in a typical week in 1998 – 9. 第二段 Among those employed fulltime, men on average had fifty hours of leisure, whereas women had approximately thirtyseven hours. ? 用一個 whereas 連詞，對比說明了 men和 women的時間情形， ? 工作組別信息： among those employed fulltime ? 性別信息： men, women ? 時間信息： had fifty hours of leisure, had thirtyseven hours ? 表示平均 on average, 表示大約 approximately There were no figures given for male parttime workers, but female parttimers had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in fulltime employment, perhaps reflecting their work in the home. ? 這句話說明了兩點內(nèi)容，第一是 parttime workers 的情況，第二是與 fulltime employment作了比較 ? 工作組別和性別信息： for male parttime workers, female parttimers ? 時間信息： There were no figures given (表示缺失值 )， had forty hours of leisure time ? 比較 parttime和 fulltime婦女的休息時間 （ Female parttimers had） only slightly more than women in fulltime ? employment, 注意短語的邏輯主語，還有必須注意 parttime和 fulltime婦女的不同表示法 ? 適度的評價， perhaps reflecting their work in the home, 這句其邏輯主語為前面那句 only slight more than women ? in fulltime employment，這句話的含義是 “雖然為 parttime females, 但是相應(yīng)的承擔(dān)了更多的家務(wù)，所以休息時間只 ? 是 比 fulltime females 多那么一點點 ” ? 很多同學(xué)爭論需不需要發(fā)表議論，準確的說應(yīng)當(dāng)是就圖論圖，不作評價，但是這個原則也不是死的，根據(jù)圖形的特征，作一點適當(dāng)?shù)脑u論也是可以的，這里就是 “適度評價 ” 第三段 In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. ? 這句將 unemployed and retired categories 這兩個組和其他組別比較的特征做了說明，圖上也很明顯，這兩組人的 leisure time非常多， ? as might have been expected, as 為代詞，指代前面這句話內(nèi)容，意思為 “正如 ”；這是個插入語，經(jīng)常用到 Here too, men enjoyed more leisure time – over eight hours, pared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men. ? 說明了 men和 women的比較，比較詞為 pared with ? (Eight hours are) pared with seventy hours, 注意比較的成分應(yīng)當(dāng)是對等的，時間對應(yīng)時間， pare這個詞在 雅思寫作中以被動態(tài)比較常見，很少出現(xiàn) paring with的形式，切記 第四段 Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fiftyfour hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! ? 說明了 housewives 的 leisure time，很明顯， househusbands 為缺失值 Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time. ? Overall 代表是文章的總結(jié)句，但是作者從另外一個邏輯角度，即按照總體性別來看， men比 women的 leisure time要多，這就說明了應(yīng)當(dāng)按照清晰的邏輯順序，把文章中各個信息都需要描述 詞匯句型積累 對比說明 兩個事物的對比說明，這是必考內(nèi)容之一，所采用的方法有 ? 采用 連詞 while, whereas ? 還可以用 pared with過去分詞短語 來補充說明對比關(guān)系 ? 還有一種就是用 比較句型 mor
