⑺There are several reasons for the decline. ⑻First, a new traffic law was made and came into force. ⑼It provided that in summer every car must be air-conditioned. ⑽As a result, the highest rate in August, when humidity and high temperature make drivers impatient and easily lead to car accidents, dropped steadily. ⑾Second, new roads were built and some narrow streets were widened, which quickened the flow of traffic. ⑿Finally, the city administration made great efforts to heighten people’s awareness of observing traffic rules.⑺主题句⑻原因/措施一⑼解释措施一/次要辅助⑽采取措施一后的结果⑾原因/措施二⑿原因/措施三

例：Title: Changes in people's diet

Outline:1. State the changes in people's diet in the past five years.

2. Give possible reasons for the changes.

3. Draw your own conclusions.

Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. You should quote as few figures as possible.

Year

Food 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001

Grain 53% 47% 42.5% 40% 34%

Milk 10% 11% 11% 12% 13%

Meat 17% 20% 22.5% 23% 26%

(Fruit 20% 22% 24% 25% 27% and Vegetables)

Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%

In the past five years, there have been remarkable changes in people’s diet. According to the figures given in the table, grain, which used to be the main food for most of the Chinese people, has now become less important. By contrast, the consumption of milk and meat has considerably increased, accounting for 13% and 26% of the total respectively in 2001. In the same way, the demand for fruit and vegetables has been on the rise.

What caused these changes? I think there are at least two reasons. In the first place, with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, great changes have taken place in all the branches of our national economy. The rapid growth in industrial and agricultural production has inevitably brought about a sharp rise in living standard. People now can afford a diet higher in protein and lower in carbon-hydrates. That is why the consumption of milk and meat has remarkably increased in the city and in the country.
