●審題概述●
這是一道圖表題。首先要看懂圖表，從中找出規(guī)律。這幅圖是關(guān)于研究生入學(xué)考試考生人數(shù)的變化。可以看出1997——2002和2002——2007這兩段時(shí)間段中人數(shù)增加的趨勢有所不同。重點(diǎn)分析這一變化的原因。
【范文】
This graph is about the increase of the numbers of people taking part in the 1entrance exams for graduate schools. From it we can see that during the first five years, from 1997 to 2002, the change is gradual. In 1997 there were 500,000 people, while in 2002 there were 1,500,000, showing an increase of one million people. But during the second five years, from 2002 to 2007, the growth is sharp——2.5 million, with 4 million people sitting the exams in 2007.
The reasons for this change may be as follows. First, 1999 was the starting year of 1the college expansion plan, which obviously means that after four years, in 2003, more students graduated from universities and colleges. Secondly, as the competition to find a satisfactory job has become more severe in recent years, to be equipped with a higher degree improves the chances of applicants finding a better job. Thirdly, not only new graduates feel the competition but also some people who already have a job. In order to get a promotion or to perform better in their jobs, lots of them returned to the 2battle field to fight for better career prospects.
