题目：The table below gives information about theunderground railway systems in six cities.

内容要点

1.此图为表格图。

2.表格每一列的内容分别描述的是不同的数据：地铁的历史、总长度和年载客量。这些都需要提到。

3.由于城市比较多，切勿记流水账一样的引用每个数据，应当主要引用每一列的最大值和最小值。

主体段可以用一般过去时和一般现在时

满分要素剖析：

一、语言表达

本文罗列了表格中的一些重要数据，其中运用到很多连接词，使文章意群过渡连贯。如：in terms of, in contrast, interestingly, in conclusion等。

1 Interestingly, Tokyo, which only has155 kilometers of route, serves the most passengers per year, at 1927 millionpassengers.本句用从句作为插入语，巧妙的在一句话当中引用两个重要的数据，并用interestingly巧妙转折，说明东京的地铁线路不长，乘客数量却很多。

2 In conclusion, the undergroundrailway systems in different cities vary a lot in the size of the system, thenumber of passengers served per year and in the age of the system.

学会本文尾句高度概括的方法。把三个重要信息点写成并列的名词短语，其中(which is) served per year修饰the number ofpassengers.

二、逻辑结构

本文是典型的总分总结构的小作文。开篇先paraphrase原题，第二部分开始描述表格的细节,按照从左到右的顺序，引用每一列中最重要的数据。最后一句话对全篇进行了高度概括，说明各个城市地铁在三个方面的数据差异很大。
