Pt经常听到有同学说：作文里总是举自己的例子或身边人的例子，真的有点乏味啊！再说，也不如什么名人事例或调查数据来得有说服力呀！ 但，真举调查数据，你的写法够有说服力吗？ 其实，我们不需要每次都举真实的数据，但编也有编的规则哦~今天，Pt就为大家分享一下从 《经济学人 The Economist》杂志中学到的 列举调查数据的小技巧~

　　Travelling talent

　　题型：事实题话题：工作类

　　Skilled workers are nowadays eager to work abroad

　　想象这是一道题目： Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Skilled workers nowadays are eager to work abroad.

　　每篇经济学人都会有这种小标题，简要概述本文的信息

　　WHETHER（在这里当“无论是否”讲）equipped with a master’s degree in business or another qualification sought after by employers, today’s workers, especially younger ones, are remarkably keen to have a spell working outside their home countries. An online survey（? 专业用语） of more than（? 表概数） 200,000 peoplein 189 countries（? 具体的数字）, published this week by the Boston Consulting Group（? 权威机构）, a management consultant（? 同位语，解释机构的资质）, and The Network（? 权威机构）,a recruitment agency（? 同位语，解释机构的资质）, found thatalmost（? 表概数） two-thirds（? 具体的数字）ofrespondents would contemplate working abroad―and that one in five（? 具体的数字）already had. The sampleis somewhatskewed: most respondents were aged 20-50, and most had further- or higher-education qualifications. But such workers are the talent that companies―and countries―most need to attract.

　　【论证】本段采取事实论证――调查研究报告的方法支持观点

　　如何增加调查研究报告的可信度？

　　1. 数据中包含具体的数字（加入表概数的词）

　　2. 权威机构发布结果（同位语介绍机构资质）

　　【专业用语】使用专业术语，让调查数据更专业！

　　1. An online survey：在线调查 2. found that：调查发现

　　3. respondents：调查对象 4. sample：统计学名词-样本

　　5. skewed：统计学名词-偏度，因为抽样不够随机，所以不服从正态分布（分为左偏-均值小于中位数和右偏-均值大于中位数

　　6. 时态：这里用的是一般过去时，大家也可以用一般现在时

　　段落讲解

　　【开头段：亮明观点】无论学历或其他资质，很多人都会考虑出国工作（用一个调查研究报告引出自己的观点）

　　In some cases the findings are not so surprising. In strife-torn（饱受战火折磨的） Pakistan, 97%（? 数字）of respondents said they would leave the country in search of work. But almost（? 概数）as high a proportion（? 专业用语）,94%, were prepared to work abroad in the stable, prosperous Netherlands. The figurewas the same in France, but in Americabarelyone-third expressed the willingness to work in another country. In Britain and Germany thefigurewas 44%. However, almost everywhere younger workers were much more open to the idea: in America59%of those in their twenties said they would leave the country for work.

　　【论证】第一句话是段首主题句，概述本段主要内容而且简洁明了。希望大家在写托福作文的时候也能做到这样：直奔主题

　　【专业用语】

　　1. as high a proportion as 所占比例高达……

　　2. figure 数字 3. barely = almost not 相当于是否定词，几乎不到

　　段落讲解

　　Asked to list the foreign countries they would consider moving to,America came up most frequently, with42%of non-Americans mentioning it, followed byBritain and Canada. But when asked to choose a city,London came first, with 16%of respondents choosing it, compared with12.2%for New York, the next most popular place. Nobody much wanted to work in China or other Asian countries, with the language barrier being the main deterrent.

　　【专业用语】

　　1. followed by 紧随其后的是 2. come first 排名第一

　　3. compare with 与……相比

　　段落讲解

　　The report concludes by arguing that governments will in the future need to do more to build attractive cities with good public services, or（意思是“否则”）suffer a “brain drain”. Skilled workers will also need to realize that the pool of competitors for the best jobs is now bigger than before. Being unwilling to get some experience working abroad（分词短语作主语）could mean that（以此引出结果）their careers also end up going nowhere.

　　【专业用语】

　　1. report 报告 2. conclude 总结 3. argue 论证

　　段落讲解

　　【结论】呼吁国家重视城市建设，以吸引更多优秀人才；呼吁劳动者要适应潮流，免遭淘汰
