“点评：”

本文是一篇根据图表内容展开的说明文。这种题型应在平时加强训练，掌握表达技巧。

文章的开头已经给出，直接点明主题。然后，作者用“Take the chart as an example”承前启后，既围绕主题，又引出下文。根据图表中的数字，作者先把2002年下半年交通事故伤、亡人数的总体情况作了一分析说明，最后得出结论：A市交通事故伤、亡人数在这半年里一直上升。然后以举例法，把7月份与12月份的伤、亡人数分别进行了对比，用详实的数字说明问题的严重性。最后一句又进一步强调交通事故问题已成为令A市政府很头痛的事，首尾呼应，点明主题。

全文结构完整，层次分明，语言准确，地道，句子通顺，行文流畅，表达到位，是这类作文的佳作，值得大家学习。
