As is shown in the chart, mobile-phone subscriptions grow rapidly from 2000 to 2008. We can also find out that developing countries are the driving force for such a rapid growth. According to the chart, mobile-phone subscription number increased to 8 times from 2000 to 2008, that is from around 0.5 billion to 4 billion, while that of developed countries only increased twice from around 0.5 billion to 1 billion.

I think there are two main reasons for such a great contrast. First of all, developing countries have much larger population than developed countries. For example, China and India nearly have half of the total population of the world. China has the most mobile-phone users right now, which increased greatly from 2000 to 2008. It is the same in India and other developing countries. Secondly, developing countries have been enjoying strong economic growth in recent years. As a result, people in most developing countries are richer and richer, especially in China. So they can afford to buy such necessities, including mobile phones, as the prices continued to drop greatly in the past years.

Thus, we can conclude that as economy grows strongly in developing countries, people in these countries can buy such products. (201 words)

In this chart, we can see the mobile phone subscriptions in developed countries have a steady and slight increase from 1990 to 2007 and then remain constant in 2008. Meanwhile the mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries have witnessed a slow increase from 1990 to 2004 and then a great surge from 2004 to 20007: the biggest surge happens from 2005 to 2006.

This chart reflects different developing modes of mobile phone industry in developed and developing countries. The developed countries have a limited number of populations, most of whom are well-educated. Therefore, the spreading of the mobile phone service is efficient and soon the market is saturated. Also at the beginning the developed countries have more people who can afford this service. The developing countries have a large population who keeps a large demand for mobile service. As the mobile phone service becomes cheaper and cheaper, the increasing customers subscribe to benefit from this service.

As discussed above, it is not surprising to see this change. In my opinion, this trend that the number of mobile-phone subscriptions is increasingly increasing will continue for a while in the future.

This bar chart indicates different market shares of automobiles of three types of brand affiliations between 2008 and 2009.In 2008, cars with Japanese brands topped the three types of vehicles, accounting for 35% of the total market. What follows is the cars with Chinese brands, hitting 25% of

the auto market, with the share of American brand bottomed out at 15%. In 2009, some developments

are noticeable in that the cars with the largest share became those of Chinese brands, which occupied roughly 32% of the market, while cars with Japanese and American brands took 25% and 15% of the whole market respectively.

It is observed that between 2008 and 2009, cars of Chinese and Japanese brands took turns to be

the No.1 in terms of market share while those with American brands ranked the last in both years. And the share of Chinese-brand cars witnessed a mild increase and that of the Japanese-brand cars saw a moderate decrease, while the American-brand cars stayed the same.

From this graph, we can come to the safe conclusion that the Chinese automakers are doing a good job in outcompeting their Japanese and American counterparts in 2009, but the gap is not so significant and if no efforts were made from the part of the Chinese auto industry, the distribution map might be rewritten in the future.

From the statistics shown in the table above, we can find the dramatic differences in a survey about working satisfaction in a company. The company employees are categorized into three groups by their ages: below 40, 41-50 and over 50. And meanwhile, the survey gives us three degrees of their satisfaction on their jobs.

In the first column, we can find that the most satisfied workers of all are those over 50, because they account for the largest proportion in the table, at 40 per cent, while the workers below 40 are the second most satisfied workers in the company, and this makes up 16.7% of the total survey. And we also find that no one between 41 and 50 is content with their jobs. In the second column, we know that half of the youngest and oldest workers do not express their opinions about their satisfaction on their jobs, whereas 36% workers who are between 41 and 50 show the same idea. The third column indicates that the people in the middle don’t like their jobs which represent 64%. And the youngest and the oldest employees are not satisfied with their jobs, at 33.3% and 10% respectively.

Taking everything into consideration, we may easily come to a conclusion that senior workers are more satisfied with their jobs. But some measures should be adopted quickly to improve their employees’ satisfaction.

The above bar chart illustrates the proportion of college students who get engaged in part-time jobs before graduation. According to the chart, the percentage of senior students working part-time is 88.24%, which is the highest for all the students. The figure is followed by junior students and sophomores, reaching 71.93% and 71.13% respectively. By contrast, the lowest percentage of part-timer is the freshman, with only 67.77% involved.

Why do students of higher grade prefer to be part-time workers while fewer freshmen take the kind of jobs? Many senior students choose this job, arguing that they can accumulate working experience by working as an intern in some companies such as banks, advertising agencies and trading firms two or three days a week. In other words, part-time jobs have become incubators for students to develop their social abilities——a boon for their future career. Moreover, students of higher grade will have more autonomy over their schedule. However, as for the freshmen, they are not ready to step into the society partly because they are still too young to recognize the significance of social experience. Apart from their lack of awareness, their parents’protection will also prevent freshmen from working part-time.

From my perspective, part-time jobs provide students with more opportunities to hone their key skills such as communication and cooperation, which will be crucial for students to work their way up

the career ladder. Therefore, students should make use of the opportunity to develop their skills needed for their future work.

What is clearly presented in the above chart is the different numbers of urban residents and rural population among 1990, 2000 and 2010. The number of urban residents climbed steadily from 300 million in 1990 to 660 million or so in 2010, while rural population decreased slightly from about 820 million to 680 million or so in the same period.

It is not difficult to come up with some possible factors accounting for this trend. On the one hand, with the rapid development of economy and society, people in mounting numbers crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living and the excitement of urban life recently. On the other hand, the economy in the rural districts is comparative less developed and thus the opportunity to make money and pursue their future is as well lean. As a result, an increasing number of folks are trying to escape this destiny by flocking into the urban areas.

Given the analyses above, I firmly believe that such established trend will surely continue for quite a while in the forthcoming years and due importance should be attached to this evident situation. 2015

The pie chart above presents the different proportion of resid ents’consumption in a Chinese city during Spring Festival. To be specific, the percentage of consumption on New Year’s gifts, party, traffic and others is 40%, 20%, 20% and 20% respectively. Surprisingly, the pertinent number about gifts is 40%. Isolated as the figures seem to be, they are connected to one another closely.

Undoubtedly, the purpose of the graph is to showcase the diversity of residents’ consumption during holidays in China, especially over-consumption on gifts as a frequent way of interpersonal communication. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? It’s a thought-provoking question. First and foremost, advertisements of mass media, such as radio, television and Internet, might be misleading. Plus, pertinent action taken by the public to put an end to this trend might be little and limit. Therefore, people, men and women, old and young, in mounting numbers are spending too much on holiday gift which floods everywhere.

To sum up, there is an upward tendency for people these days to spend money on festival presents rather than other things, which I believe will not change in a short time. To reverse the trend is not a piece of cake, which requires a good awareness of consumption value and interpersonal communication. Only in this way can we have colorful festivals and relaxing times.

Model 2

The pie chart above presents different proportion of consumption of urban residents in China during the Spring Festival. Specifically, New Year gifts, party, transport and other consumption account for 40%, 20%, and 20% per cent of the aggregate consumption respectively. The strange thing is that the expenditure of New Year gifts accounts for 40%. These figures seem to be irrelevant, yet they are interconnected to one another.

There is no doubt that the statistics are supposed to publicize consumer spending during the holidays in China, particularly extravagant consumption of gifts as a symbol of nepotism. What exactly contributed to this phenomenon? This is a thought-provoking question. First of all, mass media, such as radio,

television and the Internet, might have misinterpreted it with bias. In addition, the public awareness and involvement in order to brake this trend may be small, limited. Therefore, the consumers regardless of ages, spend too much everywhere in the flooded holiday gift market.

To sum up, there is an upward trend of spending money on holiday gifts for people these days, instead of the other stuff, this fashion, if it can be called, I believe, will not change in the predictable future. To reverse this trend is not a piece of cake. You need good consumer values and interpersonal awareness. Only in this way, can we have a real holiday to relax ourselves economically and mentally.

As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the purpose of students travelling abroad demonstrates obvious differences in one college of China. According to the data given, the purpose of enjoying the beautiful landscape takes a comparatively large share, accounting for 37%, while that of relieving pressure also takes away 20% of the whole proportion.

What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the rapid economic development of economy, people, including college students, are becoming increasingly wealthy, which enables them to afford the once-deemed- expensive oversea traveling. In order to enjoy the charming landscape all around the world, a large proportion of students choose to travel abroad. What’s more, along with the ever-accelerating improvement of economy and society is also the ever-increasing work and life pressure. Consequently, the purpose of relieving pressure ranks the second among all the purposes for folks to travel around the world.

In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that admiring the scenery and alleviating pressure will still be the main purpose for people to arrange a traveling to other countries.
