二， 小作文重点预测题目

本年度第一个和大家见面的小作文就是流程图，这也不是偶然。毕竟2022年全年流程图才考了一次，所以早“该”出现了。这并不是什么特殊的信号，也不会影响大家的备考方向。因为复习的重心一定还是在数据型图表，而同时近两月考试的同学可以暂时搁置流程图而分心于地图题了。

1， 动态图

It is indicated in the first line chart how proportions of families with three electrical appliances had changed respectively from 1920 to 2019 in a certain country. To begin with, the percentage of families owning refrigerators increased rapidly from around 0% in 1920 to 100% in 1980, and then stabilized until 2019. The similar trend happened in data of vacuum cleaners, with growing up sharply from 30% to 100% (1920-2000) and thereafter leveling up by 2019. By contrast, the figure of washing machines only rose by 30% (40%-70%) in the first four decades, and in the next 20 years it declined by 10% to 60%, followed by a steady ascent in the last 40 years, finally arriving at around 75% in 2019.

How many hours people in this country spent on housework weekly of the same time span is revealed in the second line chart. The number obviously had continuous declines, with decreasing drastically before 1960 from 50 to 20 hours and then dropping slightly by only 10 hours by 2019.

In summary, with more and more households owning related electrical appliances, people correspondingly spent less and less time on housework. After 2000, all families had vacuum cleaners and refrigerators, but washing machines were not that popular.

The statistics (measured as a percentage) of people’s drinking and buying habits on coffee and tea in five Australian cities from a survey is indicated by this bar chart.

To begin with, 44% residents in Sydney bought fresh coffee in last 4 weeks, a bit higher than Melbourne (43%) and Hobart (38%) respectively. Nearly 35% of people living in Adelaide did the same thing, slightly more than Brisbane (34%).

Additionally, in terms of those who bought instant coffee in last 4 weeks, figures of all five cities are higher than 45%, with Hobart accounting for the highest proportion at 54%, followed by Brisbane (53%), Adelaide (50%), Melbourne (48%) and Sydney (46%) in a decreasing order.

More interestingly, as for people who went to a café for coffee or tea in last 4 weeks, proportions of 4 cities are more than a half, with Melbourne occupying the largest percentage at 64%, Hobart 63%, Sydney 61%, and Brisbane a little more than 55%. Meanwhile, the figure of Adelaide is a slightly lower than 50%.  

In summary, in 4 cities excluding Adelaide, the most popular habit is going to a café for coffee or tea since related figures are noticeably higher than the other two options. In the meantime, in Adelaide instant coffee is prevalent because almost half local people chose it during last 4 weeks. In contrast, purchasing fresh coffee is the last choice for people in all these 5 cities.
