The line graphs below show the number of hospital beds per 1,000 people, the percentage of patients who waited up to one month and those who waited more than one month for elective surgery in five countries in 2010, 2014 and 2018.
方法1：一图一段
方法2（本篇文章按照此种分段方法）：
l Body 1：hospital beds availability
l Body 2：UK、Canada手术等待时间
l Body 3：Sweden、Australia、Mexico手术等待时间
开头段
The line graphs compare the UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden and Mexico across two aspects (the number of hospital beds per 1,000 people and the proportion of people waiting for less than or more than one month for elective surgery) in 2010, 2014 and 2018.
概述段
Overall, the data reveals a negative correlation between the availability of hospital beds and surgical waiting times. With higher bed capacities, Sweden and Australia provided more efficient surgical care for their patients. In contrast, people in the other three nations typically experienced longer delays for elective surgical procedures.
思路要点：
- 床位数量与手术等待时长负相关
- Sweden、Australia床位较多，因此手术等待时间较短；其余三个国家的病人等待时间较久
Body paragraph 1
Regarding beds capacity, although Canada and Australia started with higher levels (5 and 4.5 in 2010), their figures decreased gradually by 0.5 in 2018. The UK also saw a decline, but at a faster rate, reaching around 3 by 2018. In comparison, the remaining two countries recorded constant growth, with Sweden reaching 4.5 and Mexico amounting to 2.8 per 1,000 people by 2018.
思路要点：
- Canada、Australia在2010年数值较高(5和4.5)→到2018年逐步下降了0.5
- UK数值大幅下降，2018年达到3
- Sweden、Mexico数值持续上升，2018年达到4.5和2.8
Body paragraph 2
Due to the reduction in the number of available clinical beds, the UK and Canada saw a decrease in efficiency, with the proportion of patients receiving surgery within 30 days falling significantly to merely 40% by 2018. However, the proportion of patients who waited longer than a month in these two countries recorded a dramatic increase, soaring to 60% in 2018.
思路要点：
- UK、Canada
- UK、Canada能够在30天内做手术的病人比例显著下降，到2018年达到40%
- 这两个国家手术等待时间超过30天的病人比例急剧上升到2018年的60%
Body paragraph 3
In contrast, the other three countries demonstrated notable improvement in waiting times. The majority of people in Sweden and Australia were consistently treated within a month, with figures rising modestly from 70% to roughly 80% over the period. Mexico followed a similar trend, with the percentage of people receiving surgery in 30 days climbing steadily to 60% by 2018.
思路要点：
- Sweden、Australia、Mexico
- Sweden、Australia大部分病人可以在30天内接受手术，比例从大约 70%显著上升到80%
- Mexico可以在30天内手术的人数比例也上升，2018年达到60%
