6.5 分

This 6.5 answer correctly reports the crossover and the overall reversal in spending, but leans on repeated basic connectors and comparatives ("went up a lot", "became higher than") instead of the richer collocations ("rose sharply", "overtook ... for the first time") that mark the 7.5 answer.这篇6.5分范文准确报告了交叉点和支出的整体逆转，但反复使用基础的连接词和比较结构（"went up a lot"、"became higher than"），而不是7.5分范文中更丰富的搭配（"rose sharply"、"overtook ... for the first time"）。

The line graph shows how much money households spent every month on two services: traditional post office services and app-based courier and delivery services, in six big cities in Vietnam, from 2013 to 2023. Overall, spending on post office services went down a lot, but spending on app-based courier services went up a lot. By the middle of the period, courier spending became higher than post office spending.这张折线图展示了2013年至2023年间，越南六个主要城市的家庭每月在两项服务上的平均支出：传统邮政服务和App叫车/快递服务。总体来看，邮政服务的支出大幅下降，而App快递服务的支出则大幅上升。到这一时期中段，快递支出已经超过了邮政支出。

In 2013, households spent 180 thousand VND on post office services every month. This number went down continuously, to 115 thousand VND in 2017 and then to 85 thousand VND in 2019. By 2023, it was only 35 thousand VND, which is much lower than at the start.2013年，家庭每月在邮政服务上的支出为18万越南盾。这一数字持续下降，2017年降至11.5万越南盾，2019年降至8.5万越南盾。到2023年，这一数字仅为3.5万越南盾，比期初低得多。

In contrast, spending on courier services started lower, at 60 thousand VND in 2013, but it grew every year. It reached 130 thousand VND in 2017, becoming higher than post office spending for the first time. It kept growing and reached 290 thousand VND in 2023, which is much higher than in 2013.相比之下，快递服务的支出起点较低，2013年为6万越南盾，但此后逐年增长。到2017年达到13万越南盾，首次超过邮政支出。此后持续增长，2023年达到29万越南盾，远高于2013年的水平。

考官点评

  • TR“Overall, spending on post office services went down a lot, but spending on app-based courier services went up a lot.” — States the overview correctly but relies on simple, repeated phrasing ("went down a lot"/"went up a lot") rather than more precise verbs like "declined" or "surged".总览句表述正确，但反复使用简单词汇（"went down a lot"/"went up a lot"），而非更精确的动词，如 "declined" 或 "surged"。
  • CC“In contrast, spending on courier services started lower, at 60 thousand VND in 2013, but it grew every year.” — The connector "In contrast" links the two body paragraphs, but the paragraphs otherwise rely on repeated "and"/"but" rather than varied cohesive devices.连接词 "In contrast" 连接了两个正文段落，但段落内部仍主要依赖反复使用的 "and"/"but"，而非更多样的衔接手段。
  • LR“becoming higher than post office spending for the first time” — The phrase "became/becoming higher than" reports the crossover accurately but uses a basic comparative structure instead of a precise verb like "overtook"."became/becoming higher than" 准确地报告了交叉点，但使用的是基础比较结构，而非像 "overtook" 这样精确的动词。
  • GRA“By 2023, it was only 35 thousand VND, which is much lower than at the start.” — A correct non-restrictive relative clause is used, but sentence structures throughout the answer are mostly short and coordinate rather than varied and subordinated.使用了正确的非限制性定语从句，但整篇答案的句式大多短小且并列，而非多样化的从属结构。
7.0 分

This 7.0 answer captures the crossover and uses richer collocations than the 6.5 version ("declined steadily", "nearly five times higher"), but its overview folds the crossover detail into one dense sentence rather than the 7.5 answer's separate, sharper signposting sentence beginning "Notably".这篇7.0分范文准确抓住了交叉点，并使用了比6.5分范文更丰富的搭配（"declined steadily"、"nearly five times higher"），但其总览句将交叉细节压缩进了一句密集的句子，而不像7.5分范文那样用以 "Notably" 开头的独立、更鲜明的衔接句来呈现。

The line graph illustrates the average monthly amount spent by households on traditional post office services compared with app-based courier and delivery services across six major Vietnamese cities between 2013 and 2023. Overall, spending on postal services declined steadily throughout the decade, whereas spending on courier and delivery services rose considerably, overtaking postal spending by the middle of the period and staying higher for the rest of the timeframe.这张折线图展示了2013年至2023年间，越南六个主要城市的家庭每月在传统邮政服务与App叫车快递服务上的平均支出对比。总体来看，邮政服务的支出在整个十年间持续稳步下降，而快递服务的支出则大幅上升，在这一时期中段超过了邮政支出，并在此后一直保持领先。

Household spending on post office services began at 180 thousand VND in 2013 and decreased year on year, falling to 115 thousand VND by 2017 and continuing to drop to 85 thousand VND in 2019. The decline carried on more gradually, and by 2023 spending had fallen to just 35 thousand VND per month, less than a fifth of the 2013 figure.家庭在邮政服务上的支出2013年为18万越南盾，此后逐年下降，2017年降至11.5万越南盾，2019年进一步降至8.5万越南盾。这一下降趋势此后放缓，但仍在继续，到2023年支出降至每月仅3.5万越南盾，不到2013年数值的五分之一。

Spending on courier and delivery services followed the opposite pattern. Starting at only 60 thousand VND in 2013, it increased consistently, reaching 130 thousand VND in 2017, the point at which it first exceeded postal spending. Growth continued at a similar pace, with expenditure climbing to 230 thousand VND by 2021 and finishing the period at 290 thousand VND in 2023, nearly five times higher than a decade earlier.快递服务的支出则呈现相反的模式。2013年仅为6万越南盾，此后持续增长，2017年达到13万越南盾，这正是它首次超过邮政支出的时间点。此后增长速度保持相近，到2021年支出攀升至23万越南盾，并在2023年以29万越南盾结束这一时期，几乎是十年前的五倍。

考官点评

  • TR“Overall, spending on postal services declined steadily throughout the decade, whereas spending on courier and delivery services rose considerably, overtaking postal spending by the middle of the period and staying higher for the rest of the timeframe.” — A solid overview using "whereas" to contrast the two trends and naming the crossover, though it packs the crossover into the overview sentence itself rather than reserving it as a separate cohesive signpost the way the 7.5 answer does with "Notably".总览句使用 "whereas" 对比了两种趋势并点明了交叉点，表现扎实，但它将交叉点压缩进了总览句本身，而不像7.5分范文那样用 "Notably" 单独作为衔接标记句。
  • LR“less than a fifth of the 2013 figure” — This fraction-based phrase is a useful way to summarise overall change, though the answer draws on a narrower range of precise verbs overall than the 7.5 version.使用分数表达是概括整体变化的有效方式，但整篇答案使用的精确动词范围仍比7.5分范文窄。
  • GRA“the point at which it first exceeded postal spending” — A relative clause is used to append an analytical comment, similar in function to the 7.5 answer's technique, though used only once rather than woven through multiple sentences.使用定语从句补充了分析性评论，功能上与7.5分范文的手法相似，但只使用了一次，而非贯穿多个句子。
  • CC“Spending on courier and delivery services followed the opposite pattern.” — This topic sentence clearly pivots between the two data paragraphs, though linking within each paragraph relies mostly on simple sequencing rather than varied cohesive devices.该主题句清晰地在两个数据段落之间转折，但段落内部的衔接主要依靠简单的顺序排列，而非多样化的衔接手段。
7.5 分

The 7.5 answer stands out for splitting the crossover into its own tightly cohesive sentence ("Notably, courier spending overtook postal spending..."), and for embedding an analytical relative clause ("at which point it overtook postal spending for the first time") that neither lower band attempts.7.5分范文的突出之处在于将交叉点单独写成一句衔接紧密的句子（"Notably, courier spending overtook postal spending..."），并嵌入了一个分析性定语从句（"at which point it overtook postal spending for the first time"），这是两个较低分数段答案都未尝试的手法。

By contrast, spending on app-based courier and delivery services began at a comparatively modest 60 thousand VND in 2013. This figure climbed steadily thereafter, reaching 95 thousand VND in 2015 and 130 thousand VND in 2017, at which point it overtook postal spending for the first time. The upward trend persisted, with expenditure rising to 175 thousand VND in 2019 and 230 thousand VND in 2021, before peaking at 290 thousand VND per month by 2023.相比之下，应用程式快递服务的支出在2013年起初仅为相对较低的6万越南盾。此后这一数字稳步攀升，2015年达到9.5万越南盾，2017年达到13万越南盾，此时首次超过了邮政支出。上升趋势持续，2019年增至17.5万越南盾，2021年增至23万越南盾，到2023年达到每月29万越南盾的峰值。
