【答案解析】[范文]
From the table given we can notice that the way people spent their holidays changed a great deal in the new century. In 1995,40% of the people spent their holidays at home, and the figure dropped to 9% in 2005. It seemed that people were becoming more and more mobile, and they wanted to explore the entertainments in the outside world.
The seaside still had its everlasting attraction to people. The rate only dropped slightly from 35% in 1995 to 31% in 2005. This may be due to the different choices available to people as to the ways they can plan to spend their holidays. But to many people, seaside is their favorable place to enjoy the delicious seafood and at the same time the sunbath.
What attracts our attention is a new popular way of spending holiday, camping. Camping in the national park or just in the mountains in the countryside, people have a sense of being in the arms of mother. We feel that they return to nature again, living a life simple but free of care.
