完整範文(170 字)

¹ The table presents average annual earnings, in US dollars, for workers in four industries — finance, technology, manufacturing and hospitality — across five countries in 2023.

² Overall, the three high-income economies paid substantially more than the two emerging ones in every sector, while finance and technology consistently commanded the highest wages and hospitality the lowest, regardless of country.

³ Switzerland topped the table in three of the four industries, with finance workers earning USD 130,000, around six times the equivalent Swiss-Vietnamese gap. The United States was the exception, paying its tech workers slightly more than Switzerland at USD 120,000, reflecting the dominance of the American technology sector.

German wages were noticeably more compressed across industries, ranging only from USD 32,000 to USD 85,000, whereas Brazil and Vietnam lagged far behind, with their finance workers earning roughly a quarter and a sixth of Swiss levels respectively. Hospitality consistently came bottom, dipping as low as USD 5,500 in Vietnam — barely a tenth of the global finance average shown.

句句 Band Descriptor 解析

  • 句 1 — Task Achievement: average annual earnings... for workers in four industries... across five countries — 列 + 行 + 單位一次交代。
  • 句 2 — Task Achievement (Overview): 行冠軍(finance/tech 最高、hospitality 最低)+ 列冠軍(高所得國 vs 新興國)—— 表格題 overview 必須涵蓋兩個維度。
  • 句 3 — Grammar Range: Switzerland topped the table in three of the four industries + with finance workers earning... around six times the equivalent Swiss-Vietnamese gapwith 結構帶比例。
  • 句 4 — Lexical: was the exception, paying its tech workers slightly more — 例外用 was the exceptionhowever 精準。
  • 句 5 — Lexical: more compressed across industriescompressed 描述「差距小」非常學術。
  • 句 6 — Coherence: consistently came bottom + barely a tenth of the global finance average — 用 barely a tenth 結尾強化全表落差。

本篇避開的常見錯誤

錯誤:把 20 個數字全描述一遍。 表格題逐欄逐列寫完,字數一定超過 200,焦點全失,Coherence 卡 6.0。

本範文的選點策略——只挑 6 個數字當「主角」

  • 冠軍:Switzerland finance 130,000(全表最高)
  • 例外:USA tech 120,000(唯一壓過 Switzerland)
  • 倒數冠軍:Vietnam hospitality 5,500(全表最低)
  • 比較錨點:Germany 32k–85k(中段範圍)+ Brazil/Vietnam finance(用 quarter/sixth 比較)

其餘 14 個數字一律不出現具體值,只用 consistently / regardless of country / generally 帶過。少寫具體數字 = 多寫比較——這是表格題拿 Band 7 的鐵律。
