想要雅思写作7分？有这个就够了

看今天的新闻，有一篇报道很适合拿来和各位雅思考生分享，文章标题是BMW May sales slip after drops in China and Germany，这篇文章里的内容涉及到很多的数据表达，对大家小作文数据表达可以提供素材，跟着我来学习吧！

首先来看新闻标题（文章来源英国《金融时报》）：

BMW May sales slip after drops in China and Germany

标题中有两个词都表示下滑，分别是：slip和drop

Slip表示“an unexpected slide“等同于”drop”

1.BMW sales fell in May, led by double-digit declines in its home market of Germany and its biggest market, China, which BMW blamed on “changes in import duties.”

fell 是fall的过去时，表示“下降”

double-digit declines 表示“两位数的下降”

2.The Munich-based luxury automaker said global sales of its BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce cars were down 2.1 per cent from a year ago to 204,041, led by a 13.6 per cent decline in Germany and a 10 per cent drop in China.

“were down 2.1 per cent from a year ago to”表示“比去年下降了2.1%

这里需要注意的是，英文的地道表达倾向于动词名词化，比如说“a 13.6percent decline”和“a 10 percent drop”,平常写作时要注意模仿。

3.In the first five months of 2018, sales were still up, hitting a record 1.004m units. But the gain from a year ago was just 1.6 per cent, down from 2.5 per cent in April.

这个段中出现了“增长至历史最高值的表达“就是”… was up, hitting a record…”, hit a record 是“创下纪录”的意思。

4. By comparison, rival Mercedes-Benz recorded a 2.3 per cent increase in sales last month, led by a 12.1 per cent gain in China.

“record”作为动词相当于“experience”

5. It further blamed “volatility in China due to changes in import duties,” following the announcement from Beijing last month that it would cut import tariffs from 25 per cent to 15 per cent, beginning July 1.

“cut import tariffs from 25 per cent to 15 per cent, beginning July 1.”表示“从7月1日起， 关税从25%降到15%”

6. By this time last year, BMW had sold 17,000 X3 sport utility vehicles in China, whereas this year just 3,000 have been sold. Last month the grand total was just 69 X3s, a spokesperson said.

注意本段出现的转折对比，是比较数据过程中比较好的表达，更能体现数据之间的关系。

本段大概意思是：“去年的这个时间，宝马在中国已经销售了17000辆X3运动型多功能车，而今年的销量仅是3000辆。”
