表示举例子或列举的用法
Namely, specifically, such as,
For example/ instance
Take … for example/ as an example
列举数字时要注意运用括号,这是一种节省时间、节省字数。同时又使文章简洁明了。

怎样保证自己作文中语言使用的多样性,避免重复使用带来的言语匮乏印象
首先,在描述时可以注意用适当的名词和动词形式来保证作文的多样性。
There is a steady increase in the percentage of…
The percentage of … show a steep increase from … to…
The percentage of … show a large jump from… to…
we can see a leveling off in December.
We can see an increase by 4% in….
The year 1994 and 1995 also saw great increase.
其次,要注意复杂句型的使用和长句的使用。
复杂句型:
Only in the case of…, does another country Italy comes close.
Only in this way, can this problem be settled.
长句:注意把两个趋势或数据连起来讲,变成并列或对比的句子,这样既可以用上长句又可以使文章显得简洁。也可以是单纯根据时间、大小的顺序把两个数据联系起来。
前者要注意小词and,with(并列)和while(对比)等的运用。也要注意用which,that等来引导定语,用to, as to, in order to 来引导目的状语。
Ex: The sources for supple of water to, and subsequent water losses in, the human body on a daily basis.
后者要注意 followed by, when 等表时间或名次的状语的运用
Ex: There is a dramatic fall in the number of people who went to the cinema from 1957, when about 900 million people went to …, to 1960, when the attendance figure was roughly 500 million.
From 1930 to 1940 there was a significant rise, which, since 1940 has been followed by a steady fall.
第三,要注意主动句与被动句之间的转换,不要再一篇文章中单独使用一种句型。
Ex: The total weekly spend for international students is shown to be……
Task 1 中一定要注意数据之间的比较,单独地罗列数据会丢分!!
首先,要注意数据之间在量上的关系,如:倍数关系,百分比关系等。
其次,要注意趋势上的关系,看趋势是相同的还是相反的。
而且在趋势相同时,也应该注意相同的趋势是否有幅度上的差异。
Ex: The increase in visits from the UK was more marked than that of visits to the country.
A is much greater at 8.5 years in 1980, compared to 2.5 years in B. The gap was increased in 1990, when the figures rose to … and… respectively.
The gap was widening.
