问题 The charts below show the proportions of British students at one university in England who were able to speak other languages in addition to English, in 2000 and 2010.

答案The two pie charts provide information on the percentage of British students in a particular English University who could speak various languages other than English in the years 2000 and 2010. It can be seen that the highest percentage of students in both years was comprised of those whose only other language was Spanish. It is also apparent that the proportion of students without the ability to speak a foreign language had fallen dramatically by the decade. Spanish speaking British students made up 30% of the total number of British students at the university in 2000, and by 2010, this figure had risen slightly to 35%. Similarly, those who had learnt another language other than English or the ones listed, had grown noticeably from 15% to 20%, as likewise had those who spoke two foreign languages (10% to 15%). The percentage of the British students able to speak German remained constant at 10%. Meanwhile, for those who spoke no foreign language, the figure had dropped sharply from a fifth in 2000 to a tenth in 2010. Following a similar, albeit less dramatic, falling trend were those whose only other language than English was French — from 15% to 10%.

解析 本题数据虽然是以饼状图的形式呈现,但实际上仍存在年份的变化(从2000年到2010年),故仍可看作动态图来处理。但与上例不同的是,本题年份变化较小(只有两个年份的对比),而对象较多(有6个对象)。由于对象较多,故对每个对象进行逐一描述不切实际,故关键是将对象进行分组(grouping),描述思路可根据比例的大小及比例的变化幅度来进行分类描述。
时态方面,两个时间点都是过去时,故描述数据总体应该用一般过去时。
