2010年的考研英语（二）首次考查了私人感谢信这一书信类型，2011年再次考查了私人祝贺+建议信这一书信类型。
作为国内考试最喜欢考查的书信体裁，2001年6月与2004年1月，四级写作曾两次考查建议信；而2007、2008、2009年考研写作则连续三年考查建议信。今年命题再次提醒考生：考研英语（二）写作复习的重中之重仍是考研写作历年真题！
两种书信结合的形式在考研写作命题历史上已经出现两次：分别是2005年的辞职+道歉信，以及2008年的道歉+建议信。之所以如此命题，亦是旨在反押题。考生如果认真研习，2011年小作文难度不大。
本题共两点提纲，每点提纲最好各写一段。第一段开门见山表明写作目的即可：祝贺入学；第二段可提出与大学生活和学习相关的两至三点建议；第三段进行小结。
Dear Li Ming,
Congratulations! I’m absolutely delighted to hear that you have just been admitted to Stanford University. I know there was a lot of competition this year but your hard work and perseverance certainly paid off.
I’d like to give you several practical proposals on how to prepare for your university life. Firstly, it’s my hope that you will take advantage of the library in your university by reading books outside the college curriculum. Secondly, I believe that free-time can be occupied by three main activities: physical exercise, relaxation, and communication with friends and family.
Wish you further success in your continuing studies and hope you will invite me to your graduation ceremony four years later.
Yours faithfully,
Zhang Wei
亲爱的李明：
祝贺你！得知你已被斯坦福大学录取，我非常高兴。我知道今年的竞争很激烈，但是你的努力和毅力无疑得到了回报。
关于如何准备你的大学生活，我想提出几条实用的建议。首先，希望你能充分利用大学的图书馆资源，课外多阅读。其次，我认为空闲时间应该用来完成三项主要的活动：体育锻炼、放松、与朋友家人沟通交流。
祝愿你在以后的学习中取得进一步的成功，希望你能邀请我去参加四年后你的毕业典礼！
你真诚的，
张伟
本文共三段、七句、114词。首段共三句，首句使用了省略句；次句点出写作目的，即全文的中心思想：祝贺入学，出现了主系表结构、宾语从句、现在完成时、被动语态；尾句运用了宾语从句、倒装句、并列句、平行排比以及一般过去时。
第二段共三句，是“总—分”结构。首句为第二段主题句，使用了介词短语作后置定语。第二、三两句具体提出两点建议，第二句运用了物称代词放在句首作形式主语、主语从句、一般将来时以及介词短语放在句尾作状语。第三句出现了宾语从句、被动语态、平行排比。
尾段共一句，出现了省略句、并列结构、宾语从句、一般将来时。
值得学习的是，由于本文是写给表弟的私人书信，属于半正式文体，因此文中出现了一次口语表达（congratulations）、两次缩写（I’m, I’d）、两个省略句（Wish you further success in your continuing studies and hope you will invite me to your graduation ceremony in four years），符合大纲中对于文体及语域的要求。

继2010年考查关于“手机入网”的图表作文之后，2011年考研英语（二）连续第二年考查图表作文。考前笔者曾经预测今年90%考查图表作文。巧合的是，本题与英语（二）大纲样题同为关于汽车或交通问题的图表作文，有些表达可以借鉴。
2010年1月，日本丰田门汽车召回事件引起举世关注，日系轿车形象一落千丈，销量骤减。3月，中国吉利汽车集团收购沃尔沃再次震惊世界，中国国产品牌令众人瞩目，销量日增。本题即考查了“汽车”这一去年热门话题。
本题为两点提纲，第一点提纲应写成第一段图表描述，无须发表太多议论，就图论图进行描述即可。首句可进行总体描述，点出主题（国内轿车市场部分品牌份额）+对象（国产、日系、美系品牌）+时间（2008～2009年）。第二至三句进行细节描述，说明国产品牌份额急剧上升、日系品牌份额急剧下降、美系品牌份额保持平稳，并说明具体数据。
第二段可以进行原因列举，最好从正反两个方面分析国产份额上升、日系份额下降的具体原因。一方面，由于国产轿车科技进步、价格促销，从而销量大涨；另一方面，由于日系轿车深陷丑闻、行业欺诈，从而优势尽失。
第三段可进行归纳结论或提出建议措施，针对国产轿车品牌如何保持并继续扩大市场份额，进行具体的评论或总结。
What is shown in the column chart above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the market shares of certain brands in the domestic car market from 2008 to 2009. During that period, there was a marked jump of 8% from 25% to 33% in the market share of Chinese brands, while that of Japanese brands declined significantly, by 10% from 35% to 25%. At the same time, the percentage of American brands remained steady.
There are at least two fundamental causes accounting for these changes. On the one hand, advancements in science and technology have offered a technical foundation for the rapid development of the Chinese automobile industry by providing a material basis and technical means. Meanwhile, it’s difficult to notice that these days national automobile companies in mounting numbers have turned to price promotions to boost sales. On the other hand, the dishonest words and behaviors of Japanese automobile corporations such as Toyota in recent years have cheapened their image and finally ruined their reputations.
To sum up, brands are intangible treasure . They amount to a product’s or a company’s reputation. Obviously, if the Chinese automobile industry wants to make continuous profits, what they need is to try promotions that will reinforce Chinese brands’ images.
上面的柱状图中显示的数据表明，从2008年到2009年，国内轿车市场部分品牌市场份额发生了很大变化。在此期间，国产品牌的市场份额从25%急剧上升到33%，上升了8%；而日系品牌的市场份额则从35%急剧下降到25%，下降了10%。与此同时，美系品牌所占的百分比保持平稳。
至少有两点主要原因造成了上述变化。一方面，科技进步带来的物质基础和技术手段，为中国汽车产业的迅猛发展提供了技术基础。同时，不难发现如今越来越多的国产轿车公司借助价格促销来提升销量。另一方面，近年来丰田等日系轿车公司的欺诈言行削弱了其形象，并最终毁坏了其声誉。
总之，品牌是无形的财富。它们是一种产品或一家公司的声誉。显而易见，如果中国轿车产业想要继续赢利，他们需要的是尝试提升国产品牌形象的促销方式。
本文共三段、十句、208词。首段是图表描述段，共三句，是“总—分”结构。首句是总体描述，出现了主语从句、被动语态、宾语从句、现在完成时、介词短语作状语。第二、三两句为细节描述，第二句运用了介词短语放在句首作状语、倒装句、一般过去时、并列句。值得借鉴的是，在表达“急剧”这一含义时，本段先后使用了dramatic, marked, significantly进行同义替换。
第二段为原因列举段，共四句，亦是“总—分”结构。首句是主题句，承上启下进行过渡，使用了倒装句。第二至四句说明两点原因，第二、三两句点出第一点原因：为何国产品牌份额上升，第四句陈述第二点原因：为何日系品牌份额下降。第二句运用了介词短语作定语、现在完成时、介词短语放在句尾作状语。第三句出现了物称代词作主语、主系表结构、介词短语作定语。第四句使用了介词短语作定语和并列谓语。
尾段为归纳结论段，共三句。首句使用了主系表结构；次句出现了并列结构；尾句运用了条件状语从句、主语从句、定语从句。

9. Advertising is a big business in every society based on a market economy, but it does need controls to ensure it provides honest and reliable information. 在每个社会中，以市场经济为基础的广告业都是一个巨大的产业，但我们要对其加以控制，以确保广告为人们提供真实、可靠的信息。
The chart above demonstrates clearly that some changes have taken place in terms of the car market of China. Based upon the data of the chart, one can see that the percentage of domestic cars has been on a rise, while the sales percentage of cars made in Japan has witnessed been on a decline. In the year of 2008, the percentage of cars made in China was nearly 25%, while within no more than a year, it went up to nearly 33%. The percentage of cars made in Japan was 35%, while it went down to 25% in 2009.
It’s no difficulty for us to come up with some possible factors to account for this trend. At the top of the list, with the rapid development of our economy and society, more and more people are prefer civil products to foreign ones. It’s reported that, approximately 55% of families in Chinese big cities are found cars made in China. In addition, we must admit that the government appeals to us to support our native industries. Last but not the least, the fact cannot be ignored that, the cars made in China are increasingly qualified .
Taking into account what has been argued, we can come to the conclusion that this established trend is positive and therefore acceptable. And I am firmly certain that this trend will continue in the years to come.
上面的图表清晰地显示了中国汽车市场上已经发生了一些变化。根据图表中的数据，我们可以看出国产汽车的百分比持续上升，而日产汽车的销量百分比持续下降。在2008年，国产汽车的百分比接近25%，而在不到一年的时间内，上升到了近33%。日产汽车的百分比从35%下降到2009年的25%。
我们不难发现可能导致这一趋势的一些因素。首先，随着我们经济和社会的迅速发展，比起外国产品，越来越多的人更喜欢国产品牌。据报道，在中国大城市大约55%的家庭喜欢国产汽车。此外，我们必须承认政府呼吁我们支持本国产业。最后但同样重要的一点，不容忽视的事实是，国产汽车的质量越来越好。
综上所述，我们能够得出结论：这一既定趋势是积极的，因此可以接受。我坚信这一趋势在未来几年将得以继续。
该文很好地完成了试题规定的任务，内容完整。在图表内容方面，考生并不仅仅局限于数字本身，而是注意挖掘这些数字背后的规律，是对图表具体数字的总结和升华。在评论方面，内容也比较全面、中肯。本文总体结构完整，语言比较流畅，措辞准确，用词和句型结构有变化，重大语法错误较少。另外，本文也有效使用了各种衔接手段，内容连贯，前后照应，层次分明，易于理解。字数符合要求。得14分。
As is illustrated in the chart/diagram/graph/table, the number of______（主题词）is roughly/approximately______（数据）in______（时间）. Obviously/Apparently, the number of______（主题词）has been on a dramatic rise/decrease over the past few years.
What accounts for the change/difference? From my perspective, at least three factors contribute to it. To begin with, the change is closely related to the rising income of the Chinese people. More importantly, the change has a lot to do with the change of people’s attitude towards life. Last but not least, the change is enhanced and promoted by the government’s better policies as well as the more convenient channels in the______（主题词）field.
As the society develops further, the rising/falling trend is bound to continue for a couple of years in the near/forthcoming future. As far as I am concerned, it is a positive trend and should be stimulated, since it is beneficial not merely to individuals but to the whole society.
如图表所示，______的数据在______年大约是______。显而易见，______的数据在过去几年急剧上升/下降。
何种原因造成了这种变化呢？我认为至少有三个原因。首先，这种变化与中国人民日益增长的收入密切相关。更重要的是，这种变化与人们的生活态度的转变关系密切。最后，政府有利的政策与______领域便利的渠道促成了这种变化。
随着社会的进一步发展，这种不断上升/下降的趋势在未来几年中将继续。在我看来，由于这种趋势对个人及整个社会均有好处，因此这是一种积极的趋势，应该被鼓励。
