This picture reveals a social phenomenon that people now are always questioning the importance of learning basic skills. As far as I am concerned, this opinion does great harm to the elementary education and the society as a whole. There are several reasons why I hold this point of view. On one hand, basic skills play a vital role in peoples ability of acquiring further knowledge in that they lay a solid foundation for higher and more advanced knowledge. Without basic skills, a person could not learn and grasp more capabilities required in their later study and career. On the other hand, while studying basic skills, people can develop the learning capacity and analytical ability; therefore, they are capable of learning anything new and novel in their future work, which is of great importance to any person in the future job market. To sum up, basic skills make a great difference to both laying a foundation for further study and developing the learning and analytical capacity. Only when we pay enough attention to and place due emphasis on basic skills, can we be equipped with the ability to find ideals jobs by the time when are in job market. 框架：首段三句话： 1._2._23._As is vividly illustrated in the picture above, _.

Graduates with a doctoral degree receive the highest weekly wage, which is $ 1550, followed by the ones with masters and bachelors degrees, whose weekly earnings are $ 1272 and $ 1038. On the other hand, graduates with no college degree, or with high school diploma or with less than high school diploma earn $712, $ 626 and $ 444 per week respectively. As we can see, graduates with higher degrees usually receive higher weekly pay. There are several factors contributing to this phenomenon. Firstly, graduates with higher degrees have acquired more knowledge and skills so that they can deal with tough tasks. Whats more, those people are better in resolving difficult problems. As a result, they are more likely to be employed by major companies when competing with their peers. Nowadays, our society is more and more in need of people with rich knowledge and strong ability. While it costs a lot to get higher degrees, education is evidently a worthy investment. 常用表达：3如图所示 a) As we can see from the chart/graph/table/diagram, b) The chart/graph shows/displays thatc) It is clear/apparent from the chart/table that d) As can be shown in the table , 比例a) A has the largest percentage/proportion of. b) account(s) for/take(s) up 10%. c) On the top of the list is , which accounts for 60%. d) At the bottom is ,which accounts for 10%. e) A is ranked/rated first, followed by B at 30% and C at 25%, respectively.增长与下降a) The number of increased/rose suddenly/rapidly/dramatically（戏剧地） /substantially（实质的）/considerably/sharply/steeply（险峻地） from 1990 to 2000. b) There was a sudden/rapid/dramatic/substantial/considerable/sharp/steep increase/ rise in the
