写作提纲

1.中国的能量消耗和人口数量从1953年到1983年的30年迅速增长。

2.能量的消耗的增长与人口的增长有着密切的关系,但是能量消耗的增长百分比远远大于人口增长的百分比。

3.与1980年的其他国家的能量消耗以及能量消耗和人口之间的关系进行比较。

参考范文

The first table demonstrates the increase in total energy consumption in the form of coal and the increase per capita. From the table, we can see that from the year of 1953, the amount to energy consumption in China rose dramatically until the year of 1980, from 5.4 million of tons of 60.2 million tons, over ten times of the 1953’s amount. The year of 1980 was a turning point. After consistent rises from 1953 to 1980, 1981 saw a slight decrease in the amount of energy consumption. After that it continued to increase. The population also had a big change during this period, from 587.96 million to 1024.9 million. The biggest increase was between 1965 and 1970, when china’s population increased by 104.5 million.

According to this table, the increase of the total energy consumption was related to that of population to a big extent. That is to say, the ever-increasing amount of energy consumption was due to the increase of population. With more people to consume, the amount of energy consumption will increase inevitably. There was a twelve-fold increase in the amount of energy consumption during these 30 years. However the population only doubled to reach 1024.9 million. The percentage of energy consumption increase was much bigger than that of population’s.

The second table indicates the energy consumption in the world and in some countries in the year of 1980. As we can see, china, as a developing country, although with a larger population than the developed countries such as United States and Russia, consumed much less energy than these two countries in 1980. China consumed more energy than other developed countries, like Japan, West Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, but the energy consumed per person in China was very limited compared with these countries. India was also a developing country with similar population to China, but it consumed less energy than China in 1980.
