近幾年來，考研英語二大作文的命題趨勢就是圖標作文，通常圖表作文都有可能出現表格、柱狀圖、餅狀圖個線形圖等，每種都改如何描述，重點在哪里呢?下面大家就隨小編一起去了解一下吧!
(一)表格：table
1.極值
1)Female literacy rate is the highest in Singapore. (注意，用highest而不是most)
2)Sri Lanka has the lowest proportion of women workforce. (注意，用lowest而不是most)
3)Food is the biggest item of expenditure for an average Australian family.
2.排序
1)Europeans are the leading ethnicity, followed by Asians, mixed races and others.
2)England is where the most books are bought with 81% of the market. Wales comes next with 10% closely followed by Scotland with 8%. Northern Ireland lies last with only 1% of the market.

柱狀圖中經常需要對不同數據進行對比

(三)餅狀圖：pie chart
1.百分之/百分比
1) percent
2) percentage

2.分數和百分比的轉換
為了避免數據描述的單調，有時可以用分數來替代百分比，例如：
50% half
25% a quarter
75% three quarters
33% a third/ one third
67% two thirds
3.“占”的表達
1) A占到B的百分之X：
A account for / make up / constitute X% of B
2) A由B構成：
A consist of B/ A be made up of B/ A be composed of B
(四)線形圖line chart
極值：最高點和最低點
