1、1METS 写作应注意的问题（1）关于字数：三级 120 词。（2）关于分段（3）关于时态 （4）关于 Comma SpliceA complete sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.

2、alled the comma splice or the comma fault. This rule in English is quite different from that of Chinese. In Chinese we can use the comma to separate two Chinese sentences- “很快要下雨了，我们得作好准备。 ” But in English we cannot do so. We cannot use the comma to separate the two sentences: “It will be raining so
3、on, we must get ready.” One more example, 大学一年级学生的平均年龄是 18 岁或 19 岁，有些人小一两岁。(The average age of a college freshman is 18 or 19; some may be a year or two younger.)

7、形图（柱状图 bar chart） 、曲线图(line graph)、统计表 (table)、扇形图（饼状图、圆形图 pie chart)等。 图表作文的写法：* 总提句：用一句话概括说明图表研究的对象、研究的时间段、研究的地点等。总题句可以对题目作适当改写，不能照抄原题，以免有抄袭之嫌；但也不能改变原题的意思，以免走题。时态用一般现在时；常用句型：This chart (graph, table, diagram, figure) shows (indicates, illustrates, describes, presents,gives) the number of, the perc
8、entage of, that, etc.* 主体段（主体部分）：根据字数要求写若干句，描述图中主要的信息点（数据） ，注意涵盖趋势的最高值、最低值及某个时段的趋势。在有比较的图表中，既要作单方面的描述，更要注重双方的比较（如范文 A） 。至于时态，对标示了过去年月的图表，描述时通常用过去时态；而未标明过去时间的，则用现在时。常用句型：Group 1: According to the chart, As can be seen from the table, It can be seen from the graph that, We can see from the figure that

10、tomed out) in December at 20%.* 结尾句（结尾段）写出总体趋势，得出结论。若字数够了，这部分也可忽略不写。要注意的是，图表作文只需对图表所提供的信息加以客观的、准确的描述，无须对这些信息进行评论，不要表达个人情感、观点，无需添加个人色彩。因此，I think, In my opinion, 等都是画蛇添足之词。关于图表作文的评分，建议重点仍应放在文字上，只要考生描述的信息基本准确，字数够了，那就以文字为重，而不在乎是否遗漏了哪个信息。 图表作文范文A.

12、 that the percentage of male smokers dropped gradually from 90% in 1970 to 80% in 1980 and then sharply to 50% in 1990. On the other hand, the percentage of female smokers increased gradually from 30% in 1970 to 50% in 1990. It is interesting to point out that, in the 20 years from 1970 to 1990, the
13、 number of male smokers was towards a decrease while that of the female smokers was on the rise, at the rate of 10% increase each ten years.
