So now we come to the second part of the essay.

是以，現在我們來看看文章的第二部分。

The overview.

概述。

Now, what is the overview and why is it so important?

現在，什麼是概述，為什麼它如此重要？

Well, different teachers have different ideas about this, but but my starting point is if you look at the descriptors, the Band descriptors for task achievement, which are available online for task achievement in the Band seven, it says you have a clear overview in Band six, it says you have an overview.

嗯，不同的老師對此有不同的想法，但是我的出發點是，如果你看一下描述詞，任務完成情況的描述詞，在網上可以找到第七段的任務完成情況，它說你在第六段有一個清晰的概述，它說你有一個概述。

Getting down to Bands five and four is no overview or you haven't talked about the most important things.

下到第五段和第四段是沒有概述的，或者你還沒有談到最重要的事情。

So essentially an overview is a summary if you like, of the main trends, the main features, the big picture about this data, about this graph.

是以，從本質上講，概覽是一個摘要，如果你喜歡，是關於這個數據、這個圖表的主要趨勢、主要特徵和大的畫面。

What does it tell us?

它告訴我們什麼？

You don't have time to describe everything.

你沒有時間去描述所有的事情。

You're not asked to describe everything that they don't want you to describe everything.

沒有要求你描述他們不希望你描述的一切。

They want to see the skill of your being able to identify the most important points from this graph.

他們希望看到你能夠從這個圖表中找出最重要的點的技巧。

If you want to think about it this way, this might help.

如果你想這樣想，這可能會有幫助。

It's like a conclusion, but it's a conclusion.

這就像一個結論，但它是一個結論。

Before we write the body.

在我們寫正文之前。

Now, you might be thinking, oh, that's a bit strange.

現在，你可能在想，哦，這有點奇怪。

Why is he?

為什麼是他？

Why is he saying write the conclusion before you write the body.

為什麼他說先寫結論再寫正文。

This is my view and this is what I tell my students.

這是我的觀點，也是我告訴我的學生的內容。

If you have a summary, it's the big picture, you can identify the most important things and if you can do that in the overview, then the overview will be your map or your guide for writing the body.

如果你有一個總結，它是大局，你可以確定最重要的事情，如果你能在概述中做到這一點，那麼概述將是你的地圖或你寫正文的指南。

Now what I also say to my students is that when you write the overview, you want to think about the main changes or the main features.

現在我也對我的學生說，當你寫概述時，你要考慮主要的變化或主要的特點。

Now I always say also that you don't include numbers here.

現在我也總是說，你在這裡不包括數字。

Don't talk about how much it increased from this to this or don't talk about which year.

不要談論從這個到這個增加了多少，也不要談論哪一年。

Just a general comment about for example this one these two countries had an overall increase.

只是一般性的評論，比如說這個這兩個國家有一個整體的增長。

This country had a decrease.

這個國家有一個減少。

This one had the biggest change, the smallest change and so on Will save the details.

這個有最大的變化，最小的變化，以此類推 將保存細節。

For example in 2000 the cost was $43 and in 2015 increased to $68.

例如，2000年的費用是43美元，2015年增加到68美元。

Save that detail for the body.

把這個細節留給身體。

So just to reiterate then what's the overview.

所以只是重申一下，那麼概述是什麼。

It's a summary of the main features, the big picture um of the whole graph.

這是對主要特徵的總結，是整個圖表的大畫面嗯。

And it's a guide for you to write your body.

而且它是你書寫身體的指南。

And it will save you time actually because it means when you come to write your body paragraph, you don't have to think about analyzing the data because you've already done that.

它實際上會節省你的時間，因為它意味著當你來寫你的主體段落時，你不必考慮分析數據，因為你已經做了這個。

You only have to think about the language, you need to describe the changes.

你只需要考慮語言問題，你需要描述變化。

Okay, so what I'd like you to do now is to take a minute or two minutes.

好的，所以我希望你們現在做的是花上一兩分鐘時間。

You can pause the video, look at the graph, study the bar chart and then think about what are the four or five most significant features or trends on this particular example that I've shown you today?

你可以暫停視頻，看一下圖表，研究一下柱狀圖，然後想一想，在我今天給你看的這個特定的例子上，最重要的四個或五個特徵或趨勢是什麼？

So you've had a look at the graph and you've been trying to find the main trends.

所以你已經看了一下圖表，你一直在試圖找到主要的趨勢。

The main features for the big picture, no details and no numbers at this point, remember.

主要功能為大局，目前沒有細節，也沒有數字，請記住。

So let's see what I've identified.

是以，讓我們看看我已經確定了什麼。

What I think are some of the most significant features.

我認為最重要的一些特點是什麼。

I'm gonna put them up on here.

我要把它們放在這裡。

You can compare it with your list.

你可以把它與你的名單進行比較。

So first of all I've got overall, I think overall is a very good word to start the overview anyway, so let's look main features then.

是以，首先我已經得到了整體，我認為整體是一個非常好的詞來開始概述，所以讓我們看看主要特徵。

What's the first one?

第一個是什麼？

I'm gonna put these in note form for now.

我現在要把這些東西以筆記的形式寫下來。

Okay.

好的。

Not in complete sentences.

不是用完整的句子。

Um so I've got Australia and highest, sorry, most expensive.

嗯，所以我已經得到了澳洲和最高的，對不起，最昂貴的。

Yes.

是的。

For the whole period compared with the United States, which was the cheapest, difficult.

在整個時期與美國相比，美國是最便宜的，很難。

Yeah.

是的。

Over the 15 years.

There you go.

你去吧。

There's our synonyms in action.

這就是我們的同義詞在發揮作用。

You see, we don't need to repeat 2,000 2010.

你看，我們不需要重複2000年。

All of these dates for the whole period.

所有這些日期為整個時期。

Well, we know the reader knows which period you're talking about because you told them in the introduction which 15 years.

好吧，我們知道讀者知道你說的是哪個時期，因為你在介紹中告訴他們是哪15年。

They know which 15 years because you told them in the introduction.

Yeah showed an increase for the period except Japan which of course showed a downward trend.

除日本外，其他國家在這一時期都出現了增長，當然，日本呈現出下降的趨勢。

Um Japan also had the least or the smallest change in cost.

嗯，日本的成本變化也是最小的或最小的。

Okay.

好的。

As opposed to the UK which had the greatest change or increase let's say because we don't want to repeat the word change.

相對於英國，它的變化或增長最大，讓我們說，因為我們不想重複變化這個詞。

Mhm.

嗯。

Okay.

好的。

And you could add that the the the U.

而且你可以補充說，美國。

K.

K.

And the United States followed very similar trend.

而美國也遵循非常類似的趨勢。

Or let's call it let's call it an upward trend.

或者讓我們稱之為讓我們稱之為上升的趨勢。

Mhm.

嗯。

Okay.

好的。

So these are the points which I've identified as being the most significant features you'll notice again just to reiterate no numbers, no dates in here because you're gonna use the numbers and the dates to expand all this information when you come to write the body.

是以，這些是我確定的最重要的特徵，你會注意到，再次重申這裡沒有數字，沒有日期，因為你要用數字和日期來擴展所有這些資訊，當你來寫正文時。

Um and for the body paragraphs this is now a summary.

嗯，對於主體段落，現在是一個總結。

This is like a conclusion of all the most important points.

這就像是對所有最重要的觀點的總結。

Now.

現在。

You've got this this is your map.

你已經得到了這個這是你的地圖。

This is your guide for the body paragraph.

這是你對正文段落的指導。

And you're gonna I think my advice is always to take the first point.

而你要去我認為我的建議是永遠採取第一點。

Start the body paragraph.

開始寫正文段落。

Start with this point expand.

從這個點開始擴展。

It includes some numbers some details from the charts.

它包括一些數字，一些來自圖表的細節。

Take your point by point and describe in detail what kind of increased dramatic increase, slight change, et cetera.

帶著你的觀點，詳細描述什麼樣的增加大幅增加，輕微變化，等等。

And just take point by point and expand them and then you've got your body this will this will be a much quicker way to write your body because you don't have to think about analyzing the data.

而只要逐點進行擴展，然後你就有了你的身體，這將是一個更快速的方法來寫你的身體，因為你不必考慮分析數據。

You've done that here.

你在這裡已經做到了這一點。

You just have to think about the language you need and filling in the numbers with with the with the cost in dollars and which years it was and so on.

你只需考慮你所需要的語言，並在數字中填入以美元計算的費用，以及哪一年的情況等等。

And there are there are other videos available on a help dot com which you can look at for describing change and for writing body paragraphs.

在幫助網站上還有其他視頻，你可以看一下描述變化和撰寫主體段落的視頻。

So anyway, you can practice these strategies at home.

There's lots of tasks you can find online practice tasks, you can brainstorm synonyms and different ways of talking about the data.

有很多任務，你可以在網上找到練習任務，你可以集思廣益，尋找同義詞和談論數據的不同方式。
