Vertical Axis (纵轴) It tells us how many billions of people there are. Data Trends line (数据趋势线) The dotted line(虚线) is a prediction about the future population. The solid line(实线) shows the real population numbers. These are what happened in history. Before 1850, the world population grew slowly. After 1850, the world population grew quickly. To tell Shenzhen's story well, we need to master the skill of data reporting first. Let's start with a ‘training project' from our textbook(P28). 保持不变 Growing numbers: rise ,increase, grow, go up, double, soar(猛涨) Falling numbers: fall , decrease, drop, go down No change: stay the same, stay unchanged, remain stable High/low points: reach a peak, hit the highest point, fall to a low Adverbs: sharply, quickly, rapidly, significantly, dramatically slowly, gradually, slightly steadily, constantly Language building grew slowly growing quickly 1 billion 2.5 billion doubled 9 billion Practice Read the report again and learn the useful expressions. Language building Use impersonal pronouns (非人称代词) to show objectivity. e.g., The graph shows that... It can be seen that... Notes Read the report again and learn the useful expressions. Language building Use the phrases with numbers, adverbs or adverbial phrases of degree to show accuracy. Notes Read the report again and learn the useful expressions.

Stage 1: grow slowly Stage 2: grow rapidly Stage 3: stablize with slight changes in the early years/ from 1979 to 1993 during the period from 1993 to 2020 between 2020 and 2024/ recently/ in the recent years Writing skills To support the statement of changing trend, we can list the accurate population data as the supporting evidence. e.g. In the early years, the population grew slowly.
