You should write at least 150 words(圖貼不上, 大家下載附件吧 ) 范文The line chart compares the rate of smoking of men and women in Scotland from 1960 to 2000. It can be clearly seen that the rate of smoking for both men and women was declining and that fewer women smoked during the period.(點(diǎn)明圖表主要趨勢,用compare這個(gè)詞揭示下面的文章結(jié)構(gòu)。) In 1960, 600 men in every l,000 smoked. This number decreased gradually to 500 by 1974 and continued to decrease steeply to 250 by 2000In contrast, the smoking rate for women was very low, only 80 in every 1,000 in 1960By 1968 this increased to 170 and rose again more steeply to 320 in 1977The rate of female smokers then remained stable at 320 until in 1984,at which point the figures began to decline and dropped to 200 by 2000(按時(shí)間先后順序描述男性吸煙者的發(fā)展趨勢,用in contrast連接女性吸煙者,承上啟下,并形成對比。) In conclusion,we can see that the rate of smoking of men dropped throughout the whole period but was always higher than that of womenThe rate of female smokers increased until 1977,but then decreased for the rest of the period.

In the first ten years,there were fluctuations in the total crime level,but the overall trend was upbeatBy about 1989,it rose to a record high,around 4.5 offences per thousand Americans,half the figure in 1980 (slightly over 3 offences),the lowest ever recorded during the given periodVictimisations rose and fell at a lower level between 2 and 2.5 offences over the same period,while crimes recorded by police showed a steady increase,reaching its highest in the year 1994,over 1.5 offences in a thousandThe arrest rate was the lowest,levelling off below 0.5 offences per 1,000 From 1988 onwards,the total violent crime level declined gradually,so did victimisations reported to policeIn 2000,3 out of a thousand Americans committed violent crime,while half as many victims were reported to the policeAs to crimes recorded by police and arrests for violent crime,both dropped slightly in the last five years and the figures were 1.5 and 0.5 offences respectively in 2000 Overall,the violent crime rate,as well as victimisations reported to police,crimes recorded and arrests for violent crime,was not subject to strong fluctuations in the final two decades of the last century,although by the end of the century,there was a trend toward lower violent crime levels.
