　　表格题(Table)曾经出现在剑桥系列丛书B5P98“Underground Railway Systems”---单表格、B6P30“Global water use by sector”+“Water consumption in Brazil and Congo in 2000”---线图+表格、B7P30“Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category---2002”以及B8P30“Causes of worldwide land degradation”+“Causes of land degradation by region”---饼图+表格，针对此类题目，需提醒大家注意的是：仔细观察表格横行和纵列各自代表的意义，另外在body paragraph(s)写作的过程中，第一纵列内所列内容一个不能缺，具体如下：第一、开头introduction释义题目，变换题目words, phrases and sentence structure;第二、在写作body paragraph(s)时，注意“相似数据”描述以及“大小数据”比较论述;第三、conclusion段写作时，注意对body paragraph(s)数据客观解析部分进行总体趋势概述。

　　【写作小贴士】

　　此类题目是典型的argumentative essay/report，可以遵照双边类文章的写作模式，也可以按单边类方法写作，建议单边写作，现从read news in the newspaper和watch TV news好的角度着手，首先，Reading news in the newspaper or watching TV news give families something to bond over. Both newspaper and television have led to some great conversations. Often, talking about something that occurred in a newspaper or TV show will lead to discussions of real life situations. If this is not a benefit, I do not know what is 。其次，News in the newspaper or TV news are both educational and in formative. News can be as educational as going to school。最后，We can learn about different people and places. Newspaper or TV news opens up the world, whether through watching TV news or newspaper news with multicultural characters!
