今天，我们学习如何应对《剑桥11》的饼图小作文
The charts below show the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
学生首先判断
将North America和Europe归为一组，
然后开启文章第 一句：
Of the six regions, North America and Europe respectively contribute 48% and 53% to industrial use.
教师修改后如下：
Of the six regions, North America and Europe share great similarity in water distribution – water used for industrial purpose is clearly dominant (48% and 53% respectively).
【解 析】
小作文写作重点不在罗列数据上，而要发现数据背后的客观信息并做足比较。简言之，让读者清晰了解你为什么要写48%和53%。
“water used for industrial purpose is clearly dominant” ，此处破折号的用法：引出解释说明的句子。
dominant “处于支配地位的”
注意用词最基本的要求是准确，原文contribute意指贡献出，教师修改为distribute意指分配。
