TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN CHINA Months Injured Killed Months Injured Killed January 13,905 230 May 16,255 638 February 15,302 246 June 17,151 700 March15,807452Total94,1702,827April 16,250 561 This table shows the traffic accidents from Jan. to June 1985 in China. We can see from it that traffic accidents are becoming such a serious problem that more and more people are injured or killed. As is shown in the table, from Jan. to June, a total of 94,670 people were injured and 2,827 people were killed. We can find that traffic accidents have been on the increase all the time. In Jan., there were only 13,905 people injured while in June the number went up to 17,151. In Jan., there were only 230 people were killed, but in June, the number increased to 700.The rise in traffic accidents may result from the rising number of automobiles. There are more and more vehicles running on roads, but roads have not been widened. Another important reason is owing to the carelessness of drivers who drive after drinking or to the unwillingness to make way for the other side. Since traffic accidents have already become a threat to peoples lives and properties, it is urgent for the authorities to take effective means to bring the traffic problem under control. They may invest in widening old roads or building new roads and on the other hand they should advocate observing traffic regulations among people. （215words）SAMPLE THAVERAGE FAMILY INCOME AND EXPENSES in U.S 1980 1985 Income $12,000 $16,000 Expenses Food 18% 22% Housing 25% 32% Medical 10% 12% Entertainment 7% 7% Savings 5% 5% Others 35% 23% This table shows us the average family income and expenses in U.S in 1980 and 1985 by clearly listing out the numbers and percentages of them.In 1980, the average family income in U.S was $12,000. In 1985, it increased to $16,000. In 1980, the housing, and medical expenses occupied 18%, 25%, and 10% of the total income respectively. The entertainment expenses and savings were 7% and 5% individually. Expenses on others were 35%. Compared with 1980, in 1985, the first three items of the expenses increased by 4%, 7%, and 2% respectively, while entertainment expenses and savings remained the same. Besides, expenses on others decreased by 13%. From the table, we can draw the conclusion that with the increase of income, peoples life will be better, for people can afford to eat better food, live in better houses, and enjoy better medical care. （142words）SAMPLE FAMILY SPENDING IN BRITAIN ITEM PERCENTAGE ITEM PERCENTAGE Food 25% Service 9% House 12% Tobacco& Drink 10% Fuel 9% Transportation 15% Clothes 12% Others 8% This table shows the average family spending in Britain. As can be seen from the table, the living expenses on different items occupy different percentage. From the table, we can see that food accounts for 25% of the family spending, which comes the first. This indicates that food is still the most basic need of the British people. Transportation comes the second, which takes up 15% of the family spending. This is because people tend to live in suburban houses and drives to work in town. The fares of buses, taxes and train really cost money.Next are the house and clothes, both of which cover12% of the family spending. This reveals that house and clothes are still important parts in British peoples life. Service and fuel dont cost much, both of which are 9% of the family spending. This is either because service in Britain is cheap, or people in Britain serve themselves most of the time, or electrical appliances are generally used in their life. Therefore, we may come to the conclusion that the basic need of food, clothes, house, fuel, and transportation still play important role in British peoples life. （194words）SAMPLE CHANGE IN METHODS OF TRAVEL BETWEEN 1945 AND 1970 This graph shows changes in methods of transportation between the years 1945 to 1970. In 1945, the most prevalent way of transportation was train, with about 6,000 passengers per month. This was followed by bus with 3,000 passengers. Motorcar was the least popular way with only 1,000 passengers. By 1970, bus had become the major kind of transportation which had increased to 7,000 passengers per year, whereas train, the most popular way in 1945 decreased significantly to about 3,500 passengers. Motor car also increased greatly from 1,000 to 5,000 passengers per year, making it the second most popular way of travel.The year 1960 saw the development of a new travel method, the plane, which by 1970 had developed to a rate of 3,500 passengers per year. From the change we can arrive at the conclusion that as society develops, peoples living standard improves, they would like to choose the most comfortable and convenient ways of travel.SAMPLEThis chart shows the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people from the year 1957 to 1985. As indicated in the chart, both the income and living expenses of Chinese citizens rose greatly from 1957 to 1985. This makes it clear that the living standards of the Chinese citizens are being improved. The annual income of the citizens per capita was 235 Yuan in 1957, 316 Yuan in 1978 and 752 Yuan in 1985. The income in1985 was over three times as much as that in 1957. A considerable increase occurred from 1978 to 1985 because of the reforming and open door policy. After deducting the cost brought about by price rises, the income in 1985 increased by 77.3 % compared with that in1978. The living expenses per capita were only 122.9 Yuan in 1975 and 157 Yuan in 1978. It doubled in 1985 compared with that in 1978. Therefore, we can conclude that with the progress of our society and the continuous implementation of the open door policy, the living standards of the Chinese people will be higher and higher. （184words）SAMPLEThe graph shows the cause of fire in London As can be seen from the graph above, careless smokers, defective insulations and children playing with matches are the three major causes of fire in London. Smokers are the biggest cause of all, which accounts for 50 percent of the fires. Children playing with fire come next, which is responsible for 37.5 percent of fires. Defective insulation is the last cause, which attributes to 12.5 percent of the fires. From this we can conclude that no matter what kind of fire it was, carelessness seems to be the root causes. Therefore, people should be advised to be more careful with fire. Children should be warned of the danger of playing with matches. Electric workers should be instructed to take good care of insulation. In this way, I am sure that the fire will become less and less.（146words）SAMPLEAs shown in the charts, the ways college students spend their holidays have changed a great deal from 1986 to 1996. The students who stay at home for the whole vacation have decreased while the students who travel and do social investigation have increased greatly. In 1986, the students staying at home during the holiday are 55% of the total while in 1996, these students decreased to 32%. The students who travel and do social investigation in 1986 took up 16% and 9% respectively. Compared with 1986, the students traveling and doing social investigation increased by 14% and 19% individually. The reasons are clear. Firstly, with the development of economy, people become rich. Students can afford to travel. Secondly, by traveling, students can make friends, broaden their horizons, and expand their scope of knowledge, especially, of history and geography. Finally, by doing social investigation, students can have a better understanding of the society and train their practicing abilities, laying the foundation for their later work. In order to make good use of summer vacation, more and more students will go out to the society instead of staying at home.SAMPLE Unpaid work hours per week The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done by people in different categories. (Unpaid work refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housework and gardening.) Describe the information presented below, comparing results for men and women in the categories shown. Suggest reasons for what you see.The chart reveals that the number of hours per week spent on unpaid work is unequally distributed between men and women. In households where there are no children, women are reported to work some 30 hours per week in such tasks as housework and gardening. Mens contribution to these unpaid jobs averages a considerably lower 18 hours. When children enter the household, however, the inequality becomes even more pronounced. In families of 12 children, men maintain approximately the same number of hours of unpaid work as that in childless households, but the number of hours women work in the home rises to 52 per week, much of it, no doubt, due to childcare responsibilities. Interestingly, when there are three or more children in the household, men are found to work even fewer hours around the house than before the appearance of the third child. Whereas womens unpaid hours rise to about 56 per week, the corresponding figure for men, 16, actually represents a decrease. The date suggest that the increased presence of women in the paid work force has not yet lead to an increased role for men in the home.This chart illustrates the number of tourists visiting London Zoo, Kew Garden and Regents Park in the ten-year period from 1978 to 1987. The tourists visiting Regents Park remained stable at the level of 28,000 people between 1978 and 1983, then increased to 40,000 people from 1983 to 1984, and stayed constant at 40,000 during the rest three years. As to Kew Garden, there was a steady increase in tourists from about 48,000 people in 1978 to the peak of approximately 65,000 people in 1981. However, since then, there had been a steady decrease to the bottom of only 40,000 people in 1987. By comparison, London Zoo experienced a totally different trend of development. Between 1978 an
