Changes in the Ownership of Houses
As revealed in the bar chart,the past 5 years has witnessed a sharp decrease in the percent of state-owned houses in a big city in China from 75 % in 1990 to 20 % in 2000 and a steady increase in the percent of private houses from 25% to 40% and then to 80% during the same period.
There are several factors contributing to these changes. On the one hand,with the deepening of the housing reform, the old system of house distribution is replaced by individual purchase of real estate. On the other hand, as the income level goes up, people intend to live in larger and more comfortable houses.
Such changes have a significant impact on both individuals andthe whole society. For one thing, private housing investment comes to be the trend and people themselves may take more responsibility while improving their living standard. For another, national urban construction will undergo sustainable development,which is of great importance to the national economy. (164 词)
一句话点评
很显然,第一段的多个数据抓住了阅卷老师的眼球。同时使 用了 reveal, witness, sharp, steady 等好词和 the past 5 years 作主语 的拟人修辞,增加了亮点。注意:本文为图表作文,可把“一句话” 放在第一段第一句,直接列举出图表中的数例。
快捷构思
第一段:直接用“一句话”数例描述该段中心该市住房产权 的变化”。
第二段:以模板句提出该段中心:“产生这些变化的原因”,并用 the old system of house distribution is replaced by individual purchase of real estate 和 people intend to live in larger and more comfortable houses 两个原因来支持 段落中心。
第三段:开门见山表达段落中心:“这些变化对个人和社会将 产生重大影响”,紧接着用for one thing和for another 进行细节化描述并分层次展开引出两个具体影响。
美丽词句
1.contribute to原意为“为……做贡献”,引申为“导致……”
2.have a significant impact on在... 方面产生很大的影响
3.undergosustainable development 承担持续发展(的任务)
4.be of great importance to对... 很重要(优于经常用的bevery important to)
