关于英语四级图表作文复习技巧
图表作文就是升级版的看图说话，在大学英语四级考试中，看图作文出现的概率相对来说要小一些，所以考生平时练习得也少一些，考试时就不容易把握住写作技巧，针对这个问题在此为大家总结了图表作文写作的一些技巧，希望对大家有帮助。
图表作文不像其他作文一样题干会给出提纲，我们需要看图来寻找信息确定文章写作思路，这无形中又增加了难度，尽管图表作文与一般作文有很大不同，但是基本的写作思路还是可以归结为以下三个步骤。
简要描绘图画直观内容
写好图表作文的第一步就是要把自己眼睛直观看到的图画内容简单的描述出来，这点在题干中也有强调。如果考生英语水平一般，无法组织好自己的语言，在对图画内容进行描述时，可以饮用图画中人物的对话。此外，这一段的描述简要描述即可，不用发散和深挖。这样一来，如果考生没看懂图画内容也可以照抄题干。
阐明观点并深层探讨
图画作文的观点一般在题干中都会清楚地给出来，考生在写作中除了需要看懂图画中的对话还要仔细审清题干，在写作过程中，考生阐明观点之后的思路与一般的六级英语作文提纲型写作一致，针对作文的`观点可以先举例说明现象、然后再探讨导致现象的原因以及该现象可能导致的后果等；还可结合数字、研究、名言等材料对这个观点进行论证和深层探讨。总之，这一段就是要考生来发散和深挖内容。
总结陈述观点并给出合理建议
跟一般的提纲作文一样，图画作文的最后也要对全文进行观点总结，考生还要根据不同的图画内容和主题给出相应的建议或者评价，这一点有点类似解决问题型的作文结尾。对于第三部分的写作，考生一般都很熟悉，无论哪种作文，除了书信体以外，作文结尾一段都会要求考生给出自己的观点或意见，图画类的也一样。
英语四六级考试改革说明现在考试也开始注重创新和改变，所以作文类型也会灵活多变，不会仅仅拘泥于传统的提纲写作，考生在复习时要时刻保持对创新的热情，做到无论考试有什么变化，自己都能有所准备。
掌握了这些图表类作文的写作技巧大家就算入门了，除了这些技巧之外，考生平时依然不能放松语法和词汇的复习，希望大家考试顺利过关！
