表 沒看過文學(xué)名著的原因
審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語解讀:要求考生根據(jù)圖表的內(nèi)容就“大學(xué)生不重視閱讀文學(xué)名著”這一話題進行簡述,并對圖表反映的現(xiàn)象做出評價。
2. 圖表解讀:圖表標題為“沒看過文學(xué)名著的原因”。由圖表的內(nèi)容可知,大學(xué)生不重視閱讀文學(xué)名著的原因大致包括四類。最主要的原因是沒有時間看(占48%),其次是沒有耐心看(占20%),看文學(xué)名著對考試無用(占20%),以及不喜歡文學(xué)(占12%)。
3. 文章立意:雖然大學(xué)生不重視閱讀文學(xué)名著的原因各異,但名著即經(jīng)典,經(jīng)典的東西總是具有普及大眾、傳之久遠的現(xiàn)實需求,因而非常有必要在大學(xué)生中宣揚閱讀經(jīng)典的意義。
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡要描述圖表標題及內(nèi)容,然后做出評價:大學(xué)生不重視閱讀文學(xué)名著的原因各異。
2. 第二段進一步詮釋圖表,闡明大學(xué)生不重視閱讀文學(xué)名著的原因:沒有時間;書太厚,沒有耐心看;對考試無用;不喜歡文學(xué)等。
3. 第三段提出建議:有關(guān)部門應(yīng)采取措施在大學(xué)生當中宣揚閱讀文學(xué)名著的重要性。
參考范文
As can be seen from the table, college students pay little attention to reading classics. 1 There are mainly four reasons contributing to this phenomenon. 2
First 3 , the major reason is that college students have little time for reading because they are always busy with their homework, which accounts for 48%. Secondly 3 , 20% of the students don’t read classics since they are not patient enough to read thick literary books. Another 3 20% of the students find that reading classics does little good to exams. In view of the fierce competition, academic performances always come first in students’ priorities. And the last reason 3 why students don’t read classic books goes to the simple fact that some students don’t like literature, with a percentage of 12%.
Facing this kind of phenomenon, I think it’s high time college students were fully aware of the importance of reading classics. People who have read many classics are likely to gain the wisdom of books and get exposed to the various cultures,thus having a better chance of success. Only if the significance of reading classics is widely publicized can we expect more people to pay attention to reading classics. 4
如圖表所示,大學(xué)生不太重視閱讀經(jīng)典名著。造成此現(xiàn)象主要有四種原因。
首先,最主要的原因是大學(xué)生總是忙于作業(yè)而沒有時間閱讀,該比例高達48%。其次,20%的同學(xué)因為文學(xué)名著太厚,所以沒有耐心讀。還有20%的大學(xué)生覺得看名著對考試沒什么用。鑒于社會競爭激烈,學(xué)生們總是把學(xué)業(yè)成績看作頭等大事。另外12%的大學(xué)生不看名著只是因為他們不喜歡文學(xué)。
面對這種現(xiàn)象,我認為是時候使大學(xué)生充分意識到閱讀經(jīng)典名著的重要性了。閱讀過許多經(jīng)典的人可能會從閱讀中獲得智慧并接觸不同文化,從而更有可能成功。只有廣泛宣揚閱讀名著的重要性才可能使更多人重視閱讀名著。
范文點評
1. 開篇簡要描述圖表標題的內(nèi)容。
2. 自然過渡,引起下文,緊扣作文話題。
3. 分四個方面說明大學(xué)生不重視閱讀經(jīng)典的原因,數(shù)據(jù)來源于圖表,真實具體。
4. 末段總結(jié)全文,指出我們對閱讀文學(xué)名著應(yīng)有的態(tài)度,并提出建議,解決問題。

句法點評
1. As can be seen from the table, college students pay little attention to reading classics.
首句采用了as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句,這是看圖作文的常用開篇句式,類似的表達方法還有:As we can see from the table...或As is shown/described in the table...等。
2. And the last reason why students don’t read classic books goes to the simple fact that some students don’t like literature, with a percentage of 12%.
這句話是復(fù)雜句,其中包含了一個由why引導(dǎo)的定語從句和一個由that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句,分別修飾the reason和the fact。
