关于数量表达方式有很多，既有表述数量关系的描述也有数量变化速率的表达。本文限于篇幅只能列举一些常用的表达。考生要想在应试作文获得理想分数，必须平时多收集类似的地道的表达方式：
1 All the expenses amount to (= add up to/sum up to) $ 200.
2 The number of participants grew up (rose, jumped, shot up)to 300000 persons
3 The average personal income of theChinese people increased (grew 、rose) rapidly from 1985 to 1990.
4 Compared with that of last year, the output of 13 main products (= items)this year has increased to a great extent.
5 The waterindustry suffered more bad publicity yesterday after it emerged that customercomplaints rose by 10% over the last 6 months.
6There has been a great decline in birthrates in China in the past five years.
7 The number of color TV sets produced bythe factory increased (rose , grew , climbed/ decrease, fall, drop) from 5000in 1986 to 21000 in 1990.
8The grain production (= output)in our areanow is three times as great as that of 1970.
9 The year2007 sawa deep decrease of 1 billion LBS in tobacco production as compared with that of 1990
图表作文中最后一段通常要求写出结论，其常用句型有：
1. In my opinion,//view … 2. Personally, I think… 3. In short (= In brief), …
4. In conclusion, …5.As far as I’mconcerned, … 6. Toconclude , it seems clear that …
7 To sum up ……..8 In a word…..
基于以上编写的提纲和给出的图表作文的惯用句型，我们根据实例图表作文的提纲可以分别写出：
第一段：As can be seenfrom the table, great changes took place in people's diet from 1986 to 1990.The consumption of grain decreased year by year, while that of some high-energyfood, such as milk and meat, increased steadily.
第二段：Why were there changes inpeople's diet? There were two major reasons, I think. First, people couldafford to buy more expensive food with better nutrition. Second, people paidmore attention to the quality of their diet, because they knew it was of greatbenefit to their health to eat in a scientific way. Therefore, they were tryingtheir best to improve the structure of their food.
第三段：Fromthe above, we can see that people's living standard improved markedly in thefive years between 1986-1990. And we can also expect that their life would be more prosperousin years to come.
上面三段文字行进整合就是一篇很好的应试作文。
四 查
考生千万不要认为完成以上三个步骤就大功告成，其实作文的最后一个环节是不能省略的，这就是对写好的作文进行检查修改。因为在应试中，时间十分紧张，匆匆写完后，疏漏在所难免，所以通过检查修改对文章进行修改、润色，作文的质量和档次必然会大大的提高。
检查主要针对五个重点部位：
1是否切题
具体来说有三个方面：一是作文的整体内容是否偏离了了标题的要求。二是在段落里，注意主题句是不是与段落提示句相一致。三是段落中有没有与主题句无关的扩展句。一旦发现有偏题的地方，应当立即删除并增加切题的内容。当然这种修改只限于要害部分，不可能大范围的进行修改。
2是否连贯
一方面要检查段落之间是否连贯，有没有必要的连接词，或者画蛇添足多用了或错用了连接词。另一方面要检查段落里句子与句子之间是否通顺，自然承接，有无逻辑性。
3是否有语法错误
检查动词时态，语态 语气使用是否正确，词组的搭配是否合乎习惯，使用的人称是否符合要求，句子结构是否正确,有没有缺少主语、谓语或其它一些成分,有没有主谓不一致的现象。发表论文。
4是否有大小写、拼写、标点错误
在这些细枝末节上，谨慎细心地处理，无疑会进一步提高文章的整体质量。在检查、改错的过程中，切忌乱涂乱抹。保持卷面清洁，无疑会给阅卷者留下好印象。
5 是否遗漏信息点、所写词数是否符合要求。
综上所述，英语四级图表作文并不是难以把握，无从下笔。只要掌握一定的写作技巧，加上平时多收集资料，多练习，多请教别人，进一步巩固自己的英语基础，在四级考试中定能取得自己满意的成绩。
