解析本题是一个静态图，阐述的是在2001年，四个国家里不同层次学校教师的教学时间。该图有两个写作要素，一是国家，二是不同层次的学校教学时间，这也就决定了该题写作可从这两个角度入手进行分段。总体来说，两个写作要素都存在相似和差异之处，此乃写作核心所在。就不同层次学校教学时间来看，除美国外，其他三个国家小学(primary)的教学时间差异不大;初中(lower secondary)的教学时间有两个国家(Japan 和Spain)相似，另外两个国家呈递增趋势;高中(upper secondary)的教学时间来看，四个国家Japan，Iceland，Spain和USA依次呈上升趋势。而就国家而言，非常明显的就是美国各个层次学校的教学时间都远长于其他三个国家，且这三个层次学校的教学时长差异不大，日本教学时间虽然最少，但三个层次学校的教师教学时长亦无太大差异。有意思的是，Spain这个国家里，高中教师的教学时间和其他两个层次比较，增长幅度特别大。要点：找出图中不同维度，然后分别看不同维度的特征，分段描写。参考范文及解析We can see from the bar chart that in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary school, the teaching time per year spent by each teacher in Japan, Spain, Iceland and USA in 2001 witnessed both similarities and differences.讲解：(1) 本段是作文的开头段。小作文开头段的功能一般是概括图里的总体变化趋势或概括图表包含几个部分。本段指出图表中两个主要因素：国家和不同层次学校教师的教学时间;同时指出他们之间既有差异又有相似之处，(2) 这里的两大因素也相应提示了下文会分为两大主体段。(3) We can see from the bar chart that：图中可见(4) witness：见证，证明Teachers from upper secondary school in USA topped the list of teaching time per year, with an average number of approximately 1,100 hours, followed by Spain and Iceland. However, there was not great difference between USA and Spain, and in Japan, teachers in upper secondary school worked only around 600 hours. Conversely, teachers in primary school experienced a lower number of hours with 900 hours in USA and around 600 hours in other three countries. The teaching time in lower secondary in Japan and Spain maintained almost the same as that in primary while there was asignificant increase in Iceland and USA.讲解：(1) 本段以不同层次学校教学时间为描述对象，比较了四个国家的差异和相似之处。(2) 各国的高中教师教学时间最长，初中次之，小学教师的教学时间都最短;(3) 几个峰值：美国的高中教学时间最长，日本的最短;小学除美国外其他三个国家基本没差异;(4) 常见表示大约的词有about， around，approximately等，approximately要特别注意拼写;Conversely：相反;maintain：维持，保持;significant：显著的，显然的As to each country, in USA, teaching time in all three kinds maintained the longest in comparison to other three countries and in Japan, teachers of all kindsexperienced a nearly equal number of teaching hours. Spanish teachers in high school worked the longest teaching time, reaching about 1,000 hours when compared with that in primary and lower secondary.讲解：(1) 本段以国家为描写对象，指出国家之间比较得出的结论，其中，美国的三个层级的教学时间都较长，高中为甚，而日本三个层级教学时间差异不大，西班牙的高中教学时间则特别长。(2) as to至于关于;in comparison to：和……比较;experience：经历、经验 |
