5.HowDoCollegeStudentsSpendTheirHoliday?Fromthechartsabovewecanseethatthewaysofspendingholidayforcollegestudentshavechangedalotinthepasttenyears.ThenumberofstudentsgoingtravelingaHowDoCollegeStudentsSpendTheirHoliday?Fromthechartsabove,wecanseethatthewaysofspendingholidayforcollegestudentshavechangedalotinthepasttenyears.Thenumberofstudentsgoingtravelinga解析：應(yīng)用文：圖表作文。①審題及布局。這是一篇典型的圖表式作文，要求考生根據(jù)圖表和所給文字信息，準(zhǔn)確把握大學(xué)生在過去十年中度假方式的變化信息。根據(jù)圖表數(shù)據(jù)，我們可以分析出在過去十年的變化：大學(xué)生在假期留守在家的人越來越少，外出旅游和進(jìn)行社會調(diào)查的人越來越多。因此第一段就需要把這一變化準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)出來；第二段闡述引起這些變化的原因；第三段對今后大學(xué)生度假方式的變化進(jìn)行預(yù)測。②語言。這是一篇圖表式論說文，語言要求準(zhǔn)確，要把數(shù)字和圖表信息轉(zhuǎn)變成具有說服力的語言文字，表達(dá)要貼切，尤其是在闡述引起變化的原因時，條理要清楚，富有邏輯性。就時態(tài)而言，因為是說明過去十年大學(xué)生度假方式的變化，所以可以采用現(xiàn)在完成時或一般現(xiàn)在時，在對今后度假方式進(jìn)行預(yù)測時，應(yīng)該使用一般將來時。
