表格題資料量動輒 15–20 格，最容易讓人寫成「從上到下每格念一遍」。關鍵是——挑 6–8 個數字寫，其他當配角。本篇用英國五科系 2000 vs 2022 入學人數示範資料篩選策略。
題目與數據
The table below shows the number of UK undergraduate students enrolled in five fields of study in 2000 and 2022. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

¹ The table sets out the number of UK undergraduate students enrolled in five academic fields in 2000 and 2022, with figures given in thousands.
² Overall, four of the five fields saw substantial growth over the twenty-two-year period, with computer science expanding most rapidly in relative terms, while humanities was the only subject in which enrolment declined.
³ Business and management had the largest headcount in both years, rising from 95,000 to 260,000 students — an increase of roughly 170%. ⁴ Computer science, though starting from a much smaller base of 35,000, grew even faster in proportional terms, more than quadrupling to reach 145,000 by 2022.
⁵ Creative arts also saw strong expansion, more than doubling from 55,000 to 130,000, whereas engineering posted only a modest gain of around a third, from 70,000 to 95,000. ⁶ Humanities bucked the trend entirely, contracting from 120,000 — the largest enrolment in 2000 — to just 82,000 in 2022, and losing its position as one of the top three subjects in the process.
句句 Band Descriptor 解析
- 句 1 — Task Achievement: sets out... with figures given in thousands — 改寫題目 + 明確標出單位。
- 句 2 — Task Achievement (Overview): 兩個主要特徵——「比例漲幅冠軍 = computer science」+「唯一下跌 = humanities」。用 four of the five 而不是 most 更精確。
- 句 3 — Lexical: had the largest headcount in both years — headcount 是入學題 topic-specific 詞。
- 句 4 — Coherence: though starting from a much smaller base — 讓步結構承接前一句的「誰大」，避免 computer science 被當成絕對值冠軍的誤解。
- 句 5 — Grammar Range: more than doubling from X to Y, whereas... posted only a modest gain — 倍數 + 對比一句內。
- 句 6 — Lexical + insight: bucked the trend entirely + losing its position as one of the top three in the process — 動態描述「排名變化」是表格題高分招式。

本篇避開的常見錯誤
錯誤：10 個數字（5 科系 × 2 年份）全念一遍。 表格題 Band 6.0 的通病。
本範文的篩選策略——只寫 6 個數字：
- 絕對值冠軍：Business 95→260
- 比例冠軍：Computer Science 35→145
- 負成長唯一例子：Humanities 120→82
- 剩下兩科系（Creative Arts、Engineering）用 more than doubling / a modest gain of around a third 質性描述，不給具體數字
另一招——加一句 insight（humanities 掉出前三名），展示你看出 ranking shift，Task Achievement 直接進 Band 7+。
