众所周知,想要在AEIS写作中拿到理想的分数,在中心段落中写出有效的例子和细节是至关重要的。今天我要介绍的是数据法。大家在中学语文课当中应该都学到过列数字这样的一个方法,事实上在AEIS写作中我们同样也可以使用这样的方法。
使用数据论证同样需要遵循两个原则。

尽可能量化
首先让我们来看下面这个例子:
分论点:providing business-related courses for students could help them perform better once they enter the workforce after graduation…
数据1:according to a study done by researchers in Chinese National Labor Institute, employees who have taken business-related courses in college perform significantly better than employees who have not taken those courses in college.
这个数据的问题很明显——量化不足。什么叫做perform significantly better?这个标准显得十分模糊,从而使得这个例子也不是那么有说服力。
既然我们想要使用数据论证,就要在我们的例子中尽可能用数据说话,所以我们就得想办法去将我们想论证的关键点给量化。
比如:
数据2:according to a study done by researchers in Chinese National Labor Institute, employees who have taken business-related courses in college have an average income 20% higher than those who have no prior experience in business-related courses. What’s more, the average time for them to get a promotion is only 2.8 years while employees who haven’t taken the course need 3.4 years to get a promotion…
通过提出两个量化的点——平均收入和获得升职的时间——我们可以将perform significantly better给量化,从而提高数据论证的说服力。
尽可能具体
在写数据的时候,以小见大的方式比起写一个特别宏观的数据效果要好很多。
我们来看看下面的两个数据的对比:
分论点:peoplehave acquired more knowledge about healthy diets.
数据1:recently, researchers in Fudan University have found out that, from 2010 to 2016, the total population of people who consume healthy food on a daily basis has grown from 800 thousand to 1.3 million.
虽然这个数据中作者有尽可能提出数字,但是由于数据太过宏观,所以其实起到的效果没有那么好。
我们可以将切入点缩小一下:
数据2:according to a recent study, from 2010 to 2016, the total consumption of organic potatoes in all 16 Walmarts in Shanghai has increased by 60%...
通过介绍上海的沃尔玛中有机土豆的销量增长,我们从侧面反映出现在国人的确更加愿意买健康食品了。这样的数据比较贴近真实生活中我们能够看到的媒体报道,更容易体现出真实性。
