2015年寫作題型依然延續了一貫的考查方式：應用文+圖表作文，非常符合英語二專碩的考查要求。但是具體來說，今年英語二的寫作在考查難度上偏難，原因大部分在于考查內容出乎很多老師的預料，也就說有些偏離一貫的考查重點，因此，在之前的復習過程中很多同學并沒有將之作為重點內容來復習。那么接下來就看一下2015年英語(二)的大作文到底考了哪些內容?對此又應該如何應對呢?
48. Directions:

我國某市居民春節假期花銷比例
今年大作文依然考圖表作文，文字規定部分只字未變，但是圖表卻發生了很大的改變。從2010年到2014年，英語二大作文考了4次柱形圖、1次表格，但是從未考過餅圖，由此不少老師認為大作文不太可能考餅圖，但是今年恰恰考的就是餅圖，這也就給大家的答題帶來了難度。其實，仔細看一下，如表格一樣，餅圖反映的其實很大一部分就是各個部分之間的差異性，因此在寫作時可以大部分借鑒表格的寫作方法。除此之外餅圖本身還反映了事物整體與部分之間的關系， 因此在應用表格描述方式時需要進行適當的調整，但是變化不大。
根據考前所講，英語二中圖表作文分成三段內容來寫。
第一段：描述圖表。根據之前所講表格寫作思路，整段內容包含5句話，直觀評價、圖表主題、主流趨勢、最大差異、過渡句。
1. 直觀評價。本句比較簡單，可以直接用準備的句型，Here is a chart, simple but accurate.
2. 圖表主題。先將“我國某市居民春節假期花銷比例”譯成英語，根據倒魚鉤翻譯法，可譯成the proportions of the Spring Festival’s expense of the residents in a certain city in China。再套用課上所講句型，即成It goes without saying that the chart records the proportions of the Spring Festival’s expense of the residents in a certain city in China, which successfully arouses our curiosity.
3. 主流趨勢。在餅圖中，主流趨勢指的就是事物的整體與部分的關系，也就是其整體體現。在本題中，表現為“全部花銷花在了各種各樣不同的東西上面”。由此，套用固定句型，即是As is clearly reflected by the graph, the expense has been spent on totally different things.
4. 最大差異。餅圖中此句指的就是部分與整體的關系，也就是每個部分占了整體多少比例。而且在這些比例中往往會存在最大值或最小值，那么這就是該部分與其他部分之間的差異性。本題中體現為用在“新年禮物”上面的花銷占比最大，為40%。那么可以表達為Especially, the money used to buy the New Year’s gifts accounts for 40% of the entire expense, which already outweighs all the others.
5. 過渡句。此句的作用就是總結第一段，鋪墊第二段，可以直接用固定句型Definitely, what the chart reflects is supposed to be given further analysis.
以上就是該題第一段的寫作思路及語言表達，接下來看第二段。第二段中需要對于第一段中的最大差異這一現象進行原因分析，那么按照之前所講需要包含關鍵句和具體原因兩部分。
首先，關鍵句。在這一部分，需要具體點明原因分析的對象，也就是第一段話中的第四句，但是需要注意的是不要全句照抄，而要將意思再用不同的語言表述出來。那么套用固定句即成Theoretically, several reasons may trigger the trend that people tend to spend more money to buy gifts during the Spring Festival, but as for my part, the following two are of great value.
其次，具體原因。對于春節期間人們更樂意將錢花在購買新年禮物上這一現象，其原因很多，包括春節在中國節日里面的重要性促使人們回家時購買大量禮物，以及春節期間各種禮物廣告的泛濫變相鼓勵了人們去花錢等等，當然還有其他的一些原因，大家可以自由發揮，只要合情合理即可。但是要注意：考慮到語言多樣性的評分標準，寫作時不可只用簡單的單詞或短語來銜接列舉原因，因此可以用句子來列舉，具體如下：On the top of list is that the current state of the affair may have been encouraged, though not justified, by the widely spreading advertisements of gifts. In addition, there is the other point that no one can ignore. It is universally acknowledged that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in our nation during which most people will buy gifts for their families and friends.
以上是第二段的主要內容，接下來繼續看第三段。
第三段中主要就上面分析的這一現象進行趨勢預測，那么很明顯在接下來的很長一段時間里春節期間人們都會花大量地錢來為身邊的親人、朋友購買新年禮物，這種形式將會持續下去。因此，按照之前準備的固定句型，可用Taking into account what has been discussed above, we may safely come to the conclusion that the present situation concisely conveyed by the pie chart will sustain in the forthcoming years.
整合以上所講，今年的大作文寫作可如下：
Here is a pie chart, simple but accurate. It goes without saying that the chart records the proportions of the Spring Festival’s expense of the residents in a certain city in China, which successfully arouses our curiosity. As is clearly reflected by the graph, the expense has been spent on totally different things. Especially, the money used to buy the New Year’s gifts accounts for 40% of the entire expense, which already outweighs all the others. Definitely, what the chart reflects is supposed to be given further analysis.
Theoretically, several reasons may trigger the trend that people tend to spend more money to buy gifts during the Spring Festival, but as for my part, the following two are of great value. On the top of list is that the current state of the affair may have been encouraged, though not justified, by the widely spreading advertisements of gifts. In addition, there is the other point that no one can ignore. It is universally acknowledged that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in our nation during which most people will buy gifts for their families and friends.
Taking into account what has been discussed above, we may safely come to the conclusion that the present situation concisely conveyed by the pie chart will sustain in the forthcoming years.
