A checklist for part 1 graphs, charts and tablesIn task 1 it is important that you accurately describe the information from the diagram so you don’t lose marks under Task Response. The difficulty is to decide what is the key information as there is often a lot of data to process. One way of thinking about this, is to ask yourself if someone could draw the chart and graph from the information in your report. This is not easy to do and so to help you, you will find below a 8 point checklist, an exercise and a practice suggestion.Here is my 8 point checklist to help you include the relevant details. I suggest you use it to check your own work: you should be able to answer “yes”to all the questions.Have you correctly identified whether it is a bar chart/line graph/pie chart/flow chart/table?有沒有說清楚這個(gè)一個(gè)什么樣的圖表----柱狀圖?線圖?餅圖?還是流程圖?2. The correct tense 時(shí)態(tài)Have you correctly identified whether the data in the chart relates to past time, a current state of affairs or a future prediction? This includes not just using the correct tenses but also including specific times in your report.有沒有運(yùn)用正確的時(shí)態(tài)呢?要記住,，不止要用對時(shí)態(tài),，還要再小作文中寫清具體的時(shí)間!Have you included all the subjects that are referred to in the diagram? Even if you have a bar chart ortable naming 8 different countries for example, you still need to refer to them all in your report.所有圖表中所提到的對象都寫進(jìn)小作文了嗎?如果圖表里提到8個(gè)國家,，全部都要寫進(jìn)去哦~Have you included references to the units? These may be units of time (months/years etc), money (millions of ￡) or simple numbers (10,000s). To do this, you need to read the x and y axes carefully.5. Highs and lows/Beginnings and ends/Biggest and smallestHave you included the extremes shown in the diagram? In nearly all charts and graphs these are key features to include as they give the reader a frame for understanding the chart or graph. When there is a lot of data, you may not include every extreme so you need to use your judgement.文中有重要信息點(diǎn)了嗎?最高點(diǎn)、最低點(diǎn)、起點(diǎn),、終點(diǎn)、最多的,、最少的一定要寫進(jìn)去!6. Patterns and trends 模式和趨勢Have you noted any patterns?In dynamic charts (when there is a change in time), it is nearly always important to note whether the general trend is upwards or downwards.在一個(gè)有變化的圖表里,，整體趨勢如何，上升?下降?要寫清~In static charts (when there is only one time frame), it can be important to note patterns. For example, if you look at my sample report on holiday destinations, you will see that I group England, Scotland and Wales together and note that they have a similar pattern.Is there anything in the chart that is completely different to the general pattern? If so, this too is very likely to be a key detail that needs to be noted.除了常規(guī)方式外的東西也要寫到,，就是圖表中的“例外”,。8. Ordering information排序Have you ordered the information in a logical way? It is no good putting all the right information in if the keys points are hidden away. This can happen if you follow the order of the chart without thinking. Possible logical ways of ordering the report include:從圖表中選擇的信息，又按照合理的邏輯排列好順序嗎?start with the most significant detailstart with the general pattern, then note exceptionsgroup items that are similarmove from the largest to the smallestmove from the first in time to the last in time從時(shí)間起點(diǎn)寫到時(shí)間終點(diǎn)
