写作指导

1. 注意时态，时间发生在过去，要用一般过去时。

2. 静态图表，难度中等。虽然少了动态图时间维度的描写，但此题中出现的年龄区间给了各位烤鸭写作的突破口。考生们在进行数据分析时，既要考虑到男性和女性各自随着年龄增长，盐的摄入量的变化，也要考虑到男性和女性之间的摄入差异。

重点表达式

A similar picture was shown in the intake of …

A strikingly different picture was presented in … (approximately … and … respectively).

Male consumed much more salt than female.

The amount of salt that male consumed accounted for a larger proportion than female did.

近期考试趋势

近三个月考的大多是数据类图表，根据以往经验，接下来几次需注意流程图的回马枪以及高频柱表图形的出现。

写作指导

1. 注意时态，不要出现过去时（除非举过去的例子）

2.重复2012年3月31日老题。此题主要考察人生的阶段对人的影响。值得注意的是，是年迈的时候和年轻的时候二者的博弈，而非年纪大的人和年轻的人的价值差异。

推荐思路：四段式

Opening: 背景介绍，表达观点

Body1: 喜欢和珍惜年迈的时候，因为有更多的智慧和资源做很多事情，生活更加有成就感，没有那么多烦恼。而且，年迈的时候，人们往往有一定的财富和专业能力，更容易得到别人的尊重。

Body2: 有些人更加珍视年轻的时期，因为这个时候可以不断的学习和积累，从而不断的*自己。而且，年轻的时候身体状况更好，可以做更多需要体力的事情，例如环球旅行之类的。

Conclusion: 重申立场，总结观点，做适当展望

写作范文

In diverse social and cultural situations, people from dissimilar backgrounds may have divergent attitudes toward the same issue regarding the value of the old and youth. Undoubtedly, as for me, both life spans have their own glamor.

Having experienced and endured almost all the hardships of life, people in senior years tend to be sufficiently experienced. The abundant philosophy and outlook for life that elderly people have attained in past years envelope them with a sense of accomplishment. Furthermore, despite having underne some ups and downs, people in later life are inclined to be equipped with so much wealth, which means they can afford commodities and services that they desire to purchase and possess, like luxurious dress-up they yearned for in the youth, houses and apartments they have dreamed before, and the like. Therefore, senior years are cherished by numerous people in some societies.

However, young people are symbolized with dynamic and energetic figures, which enable them to take on things whatever they like. A od case in point is an around-the-world tour. Theme parks that are far away never scare off youngsters for they recognize that a 10-hour flight is just a little case for them. The delight of jet coaster and mega-drop never discourage them in that they know their body can afford such stress. Another convincing argument of younger ages is that youth is a period when they can acquire new knowledge. It is tough for the pleasure resulting from other things to match the satisfaction bred in study.

In conclusion, both periods have their charms. What we can do is to treasure the present, and as the saying es,” Yesterday is history; tomorrow is mystery; only today is a gift.”
