描写图表一般有一定的用词,格式,一般描述图表分三个步骤:
1.总体趋势描述,可以进行两者总体的比较上             
2.分别具体描述趋势,要找出图表上的关键意义的点,如A与B的共同有的点,和各自最高最低点等等。
3.描述图表趋势及重要的转折点的主要用词(有的很常用的没写出来):

peak(顶峰)bottom(谷地/最低点)general upward trend(总体向上/增长趋势)fluctuate(波动)bottom out(最底点后平缓)level off/out(处相对于平缓期)shoot up(暴涨)collapse/crash/slump/plunge(暴跌)climb to ……(攀升)recove/pick up(从……恢复) outstrip(超越)…………

用于比较的词/短语:however,whereas,likewise,...as...,in contrast,on the other hand...一般用与分别论述的两个段落之间

用于描述时间段的短语:during the period of ....,between...and...,from...to..
