審題：
這是一道圖表題。在考研的大作文中，近年來出現(xiàn)幾率最大的是圖畫題，而圖表題出現(xiàn)的幾率就要小一些。與圖畫題相似，圖表題的首段總是要描述圖表。按照這篇文章的提綱，第二段應寫成描寫原因的段落。第三點提綱是給出評論，對于社會問題類的情形，一般寫作解決問題的辦法。最后可有一段做結。
Sample:
As can be seen from the table, the number of registered unemployed persons in urban areas of our nation has increased from 5.75 million in 1999 to 7.7 million in 2002. Accordingly, the registered unemployment rate in urban areas has jumped from 3.1 percent to 4 percent during the same period.
In my mind, the reasons why the unemployment rate of our nation has been on the rise are as follows. First of all, under market economy, private factories and foreign companies take the lead in improving efficiency and lowering the cost—in the due process, cutting the number of employees is always a choice. Furthermore, stateowned enterprises also have been undergoing fundamental changes. The traditional mode of high employment, low salary has largely been reformed to keep pace with the economic takeoff. In such a transformation period, some of them fail to meet the needs of the market, and finally go bankrupt, leaving many more people jobless.
To successfully cope with the present problem, several measures should be taken. On the one hand, the government should create more job opportunities by gradually optimizing the industrial structure. On the other hand, the employees should seize every chance to improve personal skills. With higher expertise, they are able to stand up to the challenges of a new job.
Such problems are largely the natural result of the rapid economic development initiated by the reform and openingup policy. When all of us have the courage to face the challenge and the determination to adapt to the change, a sound solution will not be far away.
點評：
本文分為四段。第一段描述圖表非常簡潔，將頭尾趨勢描述了出來，每個變量的數(shù)據(jù)超過三個，所以不必一一描述。
第二段是描述原因的段落，首句是模板句。第一點中的take the lead in improving efficiency and lowering the cost表示“率先提高效率、降低成本”。第二點分三句話，第一句中的stateowned enterprises表示“國有企業(yè)”，undergo fundamental changes表示“經(jīng)歷了根本的變化”。第二句中的the traditional mode of high employment, low salary表示“高就業(yè)率、低工資的傳統(tǒng)模式”，the economic takeoff表示“經(jīng)濟騰飛”。第三句中的go bankrupt表示“破產(chǎn)”。
心得：
圖表題出現(xiàn)得較少，變化也比圖畫題少一些。我們應首先熟悉圖表中對于數(shù)據(jù)變化的描述，而后對全文段落的安排做到心中有數(shù)。
