Writing an introduction to a graph
How important is an introduction?
開場白很重要嗎？
Very important. You need an introduction to help introduce your piece of writing to the reader.
Can I use the title of the graph?
我可以將圖表題題目上的敍述直接抄寫上嗎？
No. If you copy the exact words as the title, the words will not be counted.
What information should I include in the introduction?
那麼，開場白怎麼寫？
Include:
the subject of the graph
the time
the place
the categories (if there are over three, don’t bother writing them all out)
the units of measurement (in tonnes, in kilograms etc…)
Example
The bar graph shows the number of male and female civil partnerships in Britain from late 2005 to 2007.
Remember, your introduction does not need to be too complex. Use this opportunity to have a completely correct sentence!
What if the graph is in the past? Should the introduction be in the past tense too?
如果圖表為過去資料呢？開場白是不是也要使用過去式？
No. Because you are looking at the graph now, use the present tense in the introduction.
People tell me I need to change the words from the title. How can I do that?
常有人告訴我把Task 1內文裡的字改掉就好…請告訴我該怎麼做？
If the graph describes people from a country, the easiest way is to use a different word form.
Country
國家（名詞） Nationality
國籍（形容詞
England English
Wales Welsh
Example
The line chart compares the English and Welsh General Marriage Rate from 1981 to 2006.
