Graphs are pictures or charts. They make it easy to see how things are different. Graphs help us to compare things.

图形是图片或图表。 他们很容易看出事情的不同之处。 图表帮助我们比较事物。

bar graph You could use a bar graph to show how many of each kind of thing there is. Taller bars mean more things. This bar graph shows us that most children in Room 6 like apples best. More children like bananas than grapes or oranges. Only four children in Room 6 like oranges best.

你可以用柱状图来表示每种东西的数量。 更高的栏杆意味着更多的东西。 这个柱状图告诉我们，6房间的大多数孩子最喜欢苹果。 比起葡萄或橘子，更多的孩子喜欢香蕉。 只有6号房的四个孩子最喜欢吃桔子。

pictograph You could use a pictograph to show which insects people like best. You would use small pictures to stand for the number of people who choose each insect. Our Favourite Insects in Room 6 This pictograph shows us that most children in Room 6 like ladybugs best. More children like caterpillars than spiders, bees, or moths. Only one child in Room 6 likes moths best.

你可以用象形文字来说明人们最喜欢哪种昆虫。 你可以用小图片来表示选择每种昆虫的人数。 这幅象形图告诉我们，6号房间的大多数孩子最喜欢瓢虫。 比起蜘蛛、蜜蜂或飞蛾，更多的孩子喜欢毛毛虫。 6号房间只有一个孩子最喜欢飞蛾。

block graph You would use a block graph when you need to show how things are different from each other. Our Height in Room 6 This block graph shows us the different heights of children in Room 6.

当你需要显示事物之间的不同之处时，你会使用框图。 这个方框图显示了6号房间里孩子们的不同身高。

line graph How Sam Grew You would use a line graph to show how something changes. Dots are put on the graph to show a measurement. Then the dots are connected. This line graph shows us that in four years, Sam grew about 16 centimetres. He grew more when he was eight than when he was nine.

你可以用折线图来显示事物的变化。 图上的圆点表示测量值。 那么这些点就连在一起了。 这张线形图告诉我们，在四年里，山姆长了大约16厘米。 他八岁时比九岁时长得多。
