作文题 Below is a graph showing the percentages of the average Chinese citizen expenses on different items in the year 1995 and the year 2004. Look at the graph and write an essay of about 120 words making reference to the following points: 1. changes happened in the consumption pattern 2. possible reasons behind these changes
【正确答案】 From the picture we can see the expenses on Education and Entertainment, Transportation and Communications in 2004 have increased a lot compared with that in 1995. But the expense on Food and Clothing accounts for less proportion of the total expenses. What do these figures show us? We can get some information from the picture. Spending more on Education and Entertainment means our living standard has improved. More expense on Transportation and Communications means people no longer stay at where they live. They may go out for traveling. This shows that people are living a better life. Expense on Food and Clothing is still a big deal. But the percentage it accounts for is falling, which is now less than 35% of our total expense. This means our income is increasing, and food and clothing are no longer our main need in life. People are getting richer. And this means our country is getting stronger. That is what we are looking forward to and it really happens.
