主体二段：private company(私企)男女工作时间;

主体三段：男女工作时间总对比.

注意单词的改写 ,如government employees=official workers=officials

关注各图中的极值，要注意使用最高级，以及句型的变换。如：

a. For male working hour in the government, the highest one (accounts for) 30%, which is working over 46 hours per week.

b. 3% of male officials work over 46 hours every week, and it constitutes the highest percentage of weekly working hours.

在主题三段男女分别作比较时，可以关注差距/倍数/分数/相似。例如在国企，男性工作每周工作时长1~2小时的有23%，大约是私企的四倍(5%);在国企，女性每周工作时长1~2小时的有36%，正好是私企的两倍。

范文：

The four charts provide information about five different weekly working hours in two social sectors: government and private corporation, based on gender.

In government, 30% of male officials work over 46 hours every week, and it constitutes the highest percentage of male weekly working hours. Only 9% of male employees work between 13-30 hours. Also, it is noticeable that both 23% of them work for 1-2 hours and 6-12 hours. As for females, the highest percentage accounts for 35%, which is working between 6-12 hours weekly.

The other three kinds of working hours are similar (1-2hours, 13-30 hours, 31-4 hours), account for 18%, 23% and 20% respectively.

In private sector, the highest male working hours is over 46 hours, takes up of 34%. It is worth pointing out that only 5% of male workers work for 1-2 hours.

范文：

While the price of real estate is rocketing in metropolitan cities in recent decades, the living space for city dwellers is drastically squeezed. This situation does not only mean the square meter of their home, but also refer to the outdoor public space and commercial buildings they are allowed to utilize.

City residents need space to do outdoor activities. They need to walk their dogs, do exercises, or play with their little children. Equipped with some sports facilities, these places can serve a role of encouraging physical activities and healthy lifestyles. Public open space also facilitates local residents to meet their neighbors and feel to be included in a community. This sense of belonging can be vital for the establishment of a healthy and safe cohesive community. Open areas are the most significant for children. Especially for those children with no siblings, the public ground around their home is the place where they regularly socialize with their peers in their neighborhood.

Of course, plazas, gardens and parks occupy land, posing a real challenge for metropolis planners, who have to balance between the growing demand for residence as well as commercial buildings and recreational infrastructures. Furthermore, the size of such facilities should also be under scrutiny. A large civic central square does not actually serve a better function for local residents than a smaller one around home because the distance travelled between would be long, and this inconvenience can discourage people from regular participation. Imagine the Tiananmen Square, not in Beijing but in a town with small population in a regional area. Would it serve its best to local people?

Therefore, here is my conclusion that citizens deserve large commercial shopping centres for recreational purposes. In the meantime, small sporting facilities ought to be established outside each residential quarter.
