多圖題最容易犯的錯——兩張圖各寫各的。Overview 寫成「圖 1 是 X,圖 2 是 Y」= Band 6 天花板。本篇用智慧手機普及率(線圖)+ 購買原因(長條圖)示範雙圖整合 overview:把「擁有率上升」與「購買動機轉變」綁在同一句敘事。
題目與數據
The line graph below shows the percentage of UK adults owning a smartphone from 2010 to 2024, while the bar chart shows the main reasons given for purchasing one in 2010 and 2024. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

完整範文(172 字)
¹ The line graph illustrates the proportion of UK adults who owned a smartphone between 2010 and 2024, while the bar chart compares the principal reasons cited for purchasing one in those two years.
² Overall, smartphone ownership in the UK climbed dramatically over the period, and as it did so the dominant rationale for buying one shifted decisively away from traditional voice communication towards photography and online social use.
³ In 2010, fewer than a quarter of UK adults owned a smartphone, but the figure rose sharply throughout the early 2010s, exceeding three-quarters by 2018 and reaching 92% — effectively saturation — by 2024.
⁴ The bar chart helps explain this trajectory. ⁵ In 2010, more than half of buyers cited calling and messaging as their main motivation, with internet and photography lagging far behind. ⁶ By 2024, however, that figure had collapsed to 18%, while internet and social use had grown to 32%, becoming the leading reason, and photography had more than doubled to 28%. ⁷ Work-related and miscellaneous reasons remained relatively minor in both years.
句句 Band Descriptor 解析
- 句 1 — Task Achievement: while 連接兩張圖的題目資訊——一句寫完雙圖介紹。
- 句 2 — Task Achievement (Overview): 雙圖整合——ownership climbed... and as it did so the rationale shifted。Band 7+ 多圖 overview 必須有「跨圖因果或時序連結」。
- 句 3 — Grammar Range: fewer than a quarter... but the figure rose sharply... exceeding three-quarters by 2018 and reaching 92% — 一句串四個時間點 + 結尾 effectively saturation 加質性結論。
- 句 4 — Coherence: The bar chart helps explain this trajectory. ——多圖題橋樑句,把第二張圖跟第一張連起來,是 Band 7 多圖題的關鍵句。
- 句 5 — Lexical: cited calling and messaging as their main motivation + lagging far behind — 動機題詞彙。
- 句 6 — Grammar Range: had collapsed to 18% / had grown to 32% / had more than doubled — 三個過去完成式並列描述「2010→2024 的變化」。
- 句 7 — Coherence: remained relatively minor — 把次要類別合併處理,不浪費字數。

| Phrase | 中文 | |--------|------| | the principal reasons cited for | 被列為…的主要原因 | | the dominant rationale shifted | 主導理由轉變 | | traditional voice communication | 傳統語音通訊 | | effectively saturation | 實質飽和 | | the bar chart helps explain this trajectory | 長條圖有助於解釋此走向 | | cite as the main motivation | 列為主要動機 | | had collapsed to | 已驟降至 | | had more than doubled | 已倍增以上 | | lagging far behind | 遠遠落後 | | remained relatively minor | 仍屬相對次要 |
本篇避開的常見錯誤
錯誤 1:兩張圖各寫一段,沒有 cross-link。 Overview 變成「圖 1 描述 X / 圖 2 描述 Y」兩個獨立句——Coherence 卡 6.0。
本範文的整合方法:
- Overview 一句綁兩圖:ownership climbed... and as it did so the rationale shifted
- 過渡橋樑句:第 4 句 The bar chart helps explain this trajectory. 把線圖的「擁有率成長」連到長條圖的「動機轉變」
- 跨圖因果暗示:擁有率高 → 不只是「打電話」這個基本需求,所以動機自然往拍照/上網擴散
錯誤 2:每張圖每個類別都寫。 5 類動機 × 2 年份 = 10 數字,全寫完字數爆量。
本範文的選點:Calling 從 55→18(最大跌幅)+ Internet 從 18→32(新冠軍)+ Photography 從 12→28(倍增)——三個主角寫具體數字,工作與其他用 remained relatively minor 一句帶過。
