안녕하세요. 업무상 영어로 판매 보고서, 통계, 그래프 등을 작성해야하고, 프레젠테이션도 해야하는데.... 어떻게 써야할 지 모르겠고, 참 막막할 때가 있습니다. 그리고 영국문화원에서 주관하는 영어 능력 평가 시험인 아이엘츠IELTS의 쓰기 part 1부분에서도 그래프를 묘사하는 문제가 출제되는데 도저히 어떻게 써야할 지 감이 안잡힐 때가 있습니다. 그래서 이번 포스팅에서는 그래프, 차트, 표를 묘사하고 분석하고 평가하는 사용할 수 있는 유용한 단어들과 표현을 정리해보도록 하겠습니다.

예시

The graph from Wolrd Bank Statistics (2019) shows GDP growth in South Korea over the years 1996 to 2018. The vertical axis(y) is the annual percentage of growth while the horizontal(x) axis is the individual 23 years.

Overall, GDP has fluctuated from 2000 to 2008 and remained stable from 2010 to 2018 within the 2-4% range.

I’d like to focus your attention on two key significant areas.

The first one is in 1998, where as you can see GDP fell to -5% and then dramatically soared to 12% within a year. This was due to South Korea suffering a recession caused by the Asian Financial Crisis. The government reformed the economic structure after this and this would explain the sudden rise in 1999.

The second interesting point is the sudden drop GDP to 1% in 2009 and then rapidly rose to 6% within two years. This is clearly due to the 2007/8 global financial crisis, where the many countries suffered what is now being called Lehman shock.

Overall, this graph highlights the evidence that such uncertainty in the world financial markets has impacted the economy of South Korea.
