作文范文之2012年英语四级作文
LT
第一段：描述图表。先一句话引出图表总体内容the above bar chart clearly shows us … 然后具体描述现象we see that…。最后用for instance引出一些具体数据来例证现象。
第二段：分析原因。先写一个引出原因的句子，然后具体列举一到两个原因即可。由于字数限制，原因不必列太多。
第三段：给出建议。先是总结这个现象this phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment.(教育值得投资)。然后是建议国家增大教育投资，以及个人要努力学****这种三段式的写作模式容易掌握，在考场中比较实用，建议大家仿写。
【高分版点评】：本次四级作文围绕着同一个话题，education pay(教育回报)，出现了两个版本，一个是教育和失业率的关系，另一个是教育和收入的关系。就话题而言，命题难度并不高，选用的是贴近考生实际生活的熟悉话题。形式上则采取图表作文的形式，图表作文在四级考试中较少出现，很多考生可能刚拿到题目会束手无策，但是只要考生仔细阅读题目，就不难发现，除了需要简单描述图表之外，其写作思路和话题作文非常类似。
写好这篇作文，主要抓住三点：
首先，描述图表内容。对于柱状图，抓住横抽和纵轴之间的关系，对数字的变化趋势进行总体描述即可。用词不宜超过总字数的1/3。
其次，要一句话揭示图表背后的隐含意思，引入文章的立意。
最后，文章的立意可以采取两种思路，保守的写法是直接阐释产生现象的原因，如写失业率那篇范文;另一个则是，根据图表上的结果，借题发挥，发表自己的观点，如写收入的那篇范文。

we are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. the real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake,
