考研英语如何写好图表类型作文？考研英语(二)的图表写作命题脱胎于雅思写作中的图表写作，都考查线(Line chart)、表(Table)、饼(Pie chart)、柱(Bar chart)四种图表，字数要求也是150词。
区别有两点：
①考研英语真题至今不考雅思图表写作中的混合图表(比如饼图+表格组合)，也不考流程图和地图。至于将来考不考，大纲没说，自己斟酌。
②考研图表题还要求就图表信息发表个人评论(give your comments)。这一点，才是该题型的写作重点，是和雅思图表写作的本质区别。考生在描述完图表信息之后，要针对这些数据展现的趋势或特点去分析原因、影响，或给出建议。
所以，考研的图表作文，其实是就数据所显示的客观现象写一篇说明文。根据上述特点，为你定制“9句图表作文逻辑框架”如下。
◆ 9句图表作文逻辑框架
*以上逻辑框架中，可灵活变通之处很多：如果图表信息简单，首段可以只写两句话;如果你只能想到一个原因，那就再举个例子来证明，代替第二个原因的写作;同样，写完第一个影响，也可举例或展开，不用写第二影响;如果前面内容充实，字数已够，就不用写建议。
题目要求give your comments，你当然可以在原因、影响、建议三者中，只挑选任何一个展开来写。以上逻辑框设计架将三种评论方向都囊括在内，是为了助你拓展思路，保证内容充实，达到字数要求。
◆ 4大图表写作技能
写作之前，我们先学习“描述图表”“分析原因”“阐述影响”“提出建议”，这四个方面的英语写作技能、句型和知识点。
