小作文重點關注線圖、流程圖、餅圖。

以下爲線圖題範文解析：

The line chart shows the production of main fuels in UK between 1986 and 2000.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

解題思路：

本題爲較爲常見的動態線圖。石油和煤炭的產量變化比較大，可以作爲主要比較對象。描述時可以分爲三個時間段：1986-1990，石油產量上升，煤炭下降；1990-1995，石油產量下降，煤炭上升；1995-2000，天然氣產量迅速上升。由於是2000年及以前的數據，時態需要用過去時。最後還要注意不同能源的單位不同。

參考範文：

A glance at the line graph given reveals the trend of energy resources generated in UK from 1986 to 2000. It is evident that the petroleum yield remained the highest level during the whole period. While natural gas production experienced a burgeoning growth in the last five years of the 20th century, the output of coal decreased sharply.

In 1986, the production of petroleum and coal was almost the same at less than 120 million tons, but they witnessed two totally different trend in the following decade. Petrol output mounted to 140 million tons in 1990 before it fell to 110 in 1995, while coal plunged dramatically at first, then bounced back from 75 to nearly 100 million tons between 1990 and 1995. The production gap of these two fuels became wider since 1995, with petroleum yield rising to 130 in 2000 whereas the other reaching a low of 60 million tons.

Besides, it is interesting to note that when coal and petrol dominated the fuel production, natural gas production remained a low profile. Fluctuating at around 65 billion cubic metres for almost ten years, it rose exponentially since 1995. After gas production exceeded coal in 1996, it kept almost the same growth rate with petroleum and gained a yield of more than 100 billion cubic metres in 2000.

重點表達：

①a burgeoning growth:    快速增長

②production/output/yield: n.    產量

③mount: v.   上升

④plunge: v.   迅速下降

⑤exponentially:   指數般地

以下爲重點話題及範文解析：

題目：In most countries, with the widespread use of the Internet, people have more freedom to choose to work and study at home instead of travelling to work or college. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

題型：利弊分析類

話題：科技類

解題思路：

這道題要求討論“由於網絡的普及，人們可以更加自由地選擇在家工作和學習，而不需要外出工作或學習”這件事情是利大於弊嗎？如果同意利大於弊，則可以先展開在家工作和學習的諸多好處，接下來需要簡單說一下弊端，以及對解決弊端的建議。但是切忌一邊倒地只談好處，不談弊端的寫法。

參考範文：

The network is opening up a new possibility for people to work and study. Instead of going to office or school on a daily basis, more and more people have the chance to finish their jobs or have classes at home, and there is growing support for this option as it is supposed to be more beneficial.

One obvious merit of working or studying online at home is that workers and students do not need to waste time and money on commuting and transportation, which gives them the flexibility to arrange their timetables around their own lifestyles. After all, for most people, it is discouraging to add long traffic time and the cost involved into a hectic schedule. Moreover, employees with flexible working schedules often have higher morale for their jobs than those in a traditional office environment, which in turn benefits the business in a long run. Students who study at home are also found to be more efficient and active than those learning at school.   

In addition, people who live in remote areas will benefit greatly from the equality brought by the wide use of telecommuting and web-based education. As most of large-sized and powerful corporations are mainly based in leading cities of a country, offering telecommuting options means some talented individuals who live in less popular cities can have more employment opportunities. Online learning also enables children in poor areas with underdeveloped infrastructure and few teachers to receive high-quality courses.         

However, some people may harbor a concern that students or staff who have much freedom at home may not fully focus on the tasks at hand and fail to follow the arrangement. However, this potential problem could be addressed by setting proper productivity goals and conducting regular progress check-ins.

In conclusion, although this trend may be accompanied by some drawbacks, it is favorable for people to work or study online at home, considering unnecessary time and energy spent on commuting, as well as the equality for the society as whole.      

重點表達：

①hectic: adj.  忙碌的

②morale: n.  士氣

③telecommuting:  n.遠程辦公

④harbor a concern:  懷有疑慮
