Task one:
思路提示:上升和下降可以作为一个分类
和EU Average来进行比较
The bar chart sets out(说明) fuel consumption (燃料消耗) for transportation (交通运输) across six European nations (欧洲六国) and compares these figures (数据) with the European average (欧洲平均水平) for the years 2009 and 2010.
Overall (总体来说), while thepercentage(百分比) of fuel used in Slovakia and Spaindeclined(下降), fuel usage (使用) in Italy, France, and Greeceexhibited(表现出) opposite trends (相反的趋势)during theperiod of study(研究期间). Additionally (另外), the European averagesurpassed(超过)the figures for all countries, except for Slovakia.
In 2009, Slovakia's transportation sectoraccounted for(占据)nearly 7% of total fuel consumption, approximately (大约) 2% higher than in Austria. Italy used about 4.5% of its fuel for transportation, while Greececonsumed(消耗)roughly(大约) 1%, the lowest value (最低值) on the chart. Meanwhile (与此同时), the fuel consumed for transportation in the other countriesrepresented(占据)just under 4% of total fuel usage (总燃料使用量) in each.
In 2010, Austria's figureremained unchanged(保持不变) at just over 5%, while slightly (稍微) less fuel was used for transportation in Slovakia and Greece, asindicated by(由…所示)decreases (减少) to just over 6% and 2%, respectively. In contrast (对比), Italy, France, and Greece all saw increases (增加) of around 1% in fuel consumption.
Task two:Advanced computer skills a necessary factor for success in the workplace. To what extent do you agree or disagree?同意的观点:
One significant reason why advanced computer skills are necessary for success is that they increase efficiency (提高效率). For example, in fields like data analysis (数据分析), graphic design (图形设计), andprogramming (编程),employees must be proficient in specialized software (专业软件) and tools to perform tasks effectively. As a result, companies tend to value employees who can harness (利用) the full potential of technology, as this leads to improved productivity (生产力).
Moreover, advanced computer skills are increasingly linked to career advancement (职业发展). In today’s competitive job market (竞争激烈的就业市场), many employersprioritize candidateswho are familiar with the latest technology (最新技术). For example, companies in the tech industry often require knowledge of programming languages such as Python (编程语言Python) or JavaScript (编程语言JavaScript) tostay competitive (保持竞争力). Even in industries not directly related to technology, such as marketing (市场营销) or education (教育), computer skills are indispensable for tasks like data management (数据管理) or online communication (在线沟通). Therefore, individuals who lack these skills may find it difficult to progress in their careers (职业发展).
不同意的观点:However, it is important to recognize that computer skills alone do not guarantee success. While technical skills are essential, they must be complemented (补充) by soft skills (软技能) such as communication (沟通能力),problem-solving (解决问题的能力), and leadership (领导能力). For instance, a highly skilled software engineer (软件工程师) might struggle to succeed in a team environment if they cannot effectively collaborate (协作) or communicate with colleagues. Moreover, experience in a specific field can oftenoutweigh (超过)technical expertise. A senior manager (高级经理) with years of experience and industry knowledge may perform better than a younger employee with advanced computer skills but lackingpractical experience (实际经验).
