多圖混合題最容易寫成「先寫線圖一段,再寫圓餅圖一段」,沒有跨圖連結——這會卡 Coherence 6.0。本篇示範線圖 + 圓餅圖怎麼在 overview 跟結尾做整合,讓 comparison 自然發生。

題目與數據

The line graph below shows the number of smartphone users in Taiwan from 2010 to 2023 (in millions), while the pie chart shows how average daily smartphone time was divided across app categories in 2023. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

線圖資料(台灣智慧型手機使用者,百萬):

| 年份 | 使用者 | |------|--------| | 2010 | 4 | | 2013 | 11 | | 2016 | 17 | | 2019 | 21 | | 2023 | 23 |

圓餅圖資料(2023 年每日使用時間分配,%):

| App 類別 | 比例 | |----------|------| | Social media 社群 | 38 | | Video streaming 影音 | 24 | | Messaging 通訊 | 15 | | Gaming 遊戲 | 10 | | News & reading 新聞閱讀 | 8 | | Other 其他 | 5 |

完整範文(173 字)

¹ The line graph traces the growth in smartphone users in Taiwan between 2010 and 2023, while the accompanying pie chart breaks down how daily usage time was distributed across six app categories in 2023.

² Overall, the user base expanded almost sixfold over the period, though growth slowed visibly as saturation approached; meanwhile, screen time in 2023 was heavily concentrated on entertainment and communication, with social media alone absorbing nearly two-fifths of it.

³ The number of users climbed from just 4 million in 2010 to 11 million by 2013, a near-tripling in only three years. Growth then continued at a slower pace, reaching 17 million in 2016 and 21 million in 2019, before flattening to 23 million by 2023 as the market matured.

Turning to how these 23 million users spent their time, social media was by far the dominant activity at 38%, followed by video streaming at 24% and messaging at 15%. Gaming, news, and miscellaneous apps together accounted for just under a quarter of daily time, with news and reading the smallest meaningful category at 8%.

句句 Band Descriptor 解析

  • 句 1 — Task Achievement: 改寫兩個圖表題目。while the accompanying pie chartaccompanying 精準連結兩圖。
  • 句 2 — Task Achievement (Overview): 跨圖整合 overview——user base expanded... meanwhile, daily screen time was concentrated on... — 用 meanwhile 橫跨兩圖。Band 7+ 招牌。
  • 句 3 — Lexical: a near-tripling in only three years — 倍數名詞化。
  • 句 4 — Grammar Range: reaching 17 million... and 21 million..., before flattening noticeably to 23 million... as the market approached maturity — 分詞連續 + before 時序 + as 原因一氣呵成。
  • 句 5 — Coherence: Turning to how these 23 million users spent their time,關鍵跨圖連結:把圓餅圖的 100% 錨定為線圖的 23 million 使用者。Coherence 直接 Band 7+。
  • 句 6 — Lexical: miscellaneous apps / the smallest meaningful category — 小類合併 + 精確形容。

本篇避開的常見錯誤

錯誤 1:兩張圖各一段獨立描述,沒有連結。 結構成 The line graph shows... The pie chart shows...,看起來像兩篇小作文。Coherence 卡 6.0。

本範文的三層整合:

  1. Intro 句 1:用 while the accompanying pie chart 把兩圖並列為一個整體。
  2. Overview 句 2meanwhile 跨圖連接,兩個 feature 出現在同一句。
  3. Body 句 5Turning to how these 23 million users spent their time — 把圓餅圖的 100% 等同於線圖 2023 年的 23 million。Comparison 自動出現。

錯誤 2:把時間花在次要類別。 圓餅圖 6 個類別全寫完 = 資訊平均。本範文的選擇:前三大(社群/影音/通訊)給具體數字 + 比較;後三小類(遊戲/新聞/其他)合併成 just under a quarter 一句帶過,只挑 news 做補充。

記住多圖題:每一張圖挑 2–3 個 feature 就夠;把時間留給跨圖連結
