...the mounting debts

As is shown in the bar chart given above, dramatic changes have taken place in
the number of paper book readers and electronic book readers from 2015 to 2019.
According to the figures , the number of paper book readers decreased slowly from 10
million in 2010 to 8 million in 2013. However, during the same period, the number of
electronic book readers increased steadily from 8 million to 12 million.
We learn from the bar chart that people in mounting numbers chose electronic
books while few people chose to read paper books. What might account for this
phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows. For one thing , with the widespread
use / availability of electronic devices such as smart phone, tablet PC and electronic
readers, it is much easier for electronic books to be applied and popularized . For another,
compared with paper books , electronic books are characterized by convenience in terms
of carrying and saving spaces. Finally, the cost of downloading electronic materials is
lower than that of paper books, which enables readers to save a great deal of money.

Whether electronic books will totally replace paper books one day still seems to be
uncertain. However, no matter what kind of books will vanish, the habit of reading
books should not be eliminated.

In conclusion, electronic books have become an indispensable part of our reading.

Unit 4 图表作文领练

1. 交通建设成就

According to the table above, by 2012,China's high-speed rail track is set to reach
13,000 km, longer than the combined distance laid in the rest of the world. Besides,
railway investment has peaked between 2010 and 2012, with annual investment reaching
no less than 600 billion yuan.

根据上面的表格,到 2012 年,中国的高铁轨道将达到 13000 公里,比世界上其他国家

铺设的距离加起来还要长。此外,铁路投资在 2010 年至 2012 年达到顶峰,年投资额不低

于 6000 亿元。

There are several factors leading to the rapid development of high-speed rail track.
First of all, as a modern transportation method, high-speed trains can travel at speeds as
high as 350 kilometers per hour, which can save a lot of time. It also plays a key role in
spurring the domestic demand, which is considered an important measure to boost the
economic growth. Lastly, China's high-speed railways have been operating well, with
reliable equipment and a good safety record.
有几个因素导致了中国高速铁路轨道的快速发展。首先,作为一种现代交通方式,高速

列车可以以每小时 350 公里的速度运行,这可以节省很多时间。它在拉动内需方面也起着

关键作用,拉动内需被认为是推动中国经济增长的重要措施。最后,中国高铁运行良好,设
备可靠,安全记录良好。
We can predict that China’s high-speed passenger service will develop in a sound way.

5
For one thing, more fund will be invested in this field. Besides, great emphasis must be
laid on the innovation of technology. Lastly, the international cooperation and technology
export should be enhanced.
我们可以预见,中国的高速客运服务将以健康的方式发展。一方面,更多的资金将投入
到这个领域。此外,必须高度重视技术创新。最后,加强国际合作和技术出口。

2. 支付方式变革

According to the table above, great changes have taken place in mode of payment
these years. Five years ago, 65% of people paid for the products they bought by means of
cash or credit cards while in 2015 an overwhelming majority of people will do it through
mobile payment tool, such as Alipay or Wechat.

根据以上这幅图表,支付方式在这些年来发生了很大的变化。五年前,65%的人通过

现金或信用卡支付,而在 2015 年,绝大多数人将通过支付宝或微信等移动支付工具支付。

Now China is the world-leading mobile payment country. It is no exaggeration to say


that mobile payment has become a kind of lifestyle of Chinese people. There are many
reasons leading to this phenomenon. Firstly, the Internet technology is developing at a
fantastic speed in China, which makes it possible for mobile payment to gain growing
popularity throughout the country. Secondly, China has the world’s largest netizens, which
is the foundation for the wide extension of the mode of mobile payment. Finally, some
famous companies, such as Alibaba and Tecent, also play a positive role in popularizing
this new mode of payment.
中国现在是世界领先的移动支付国家。毫不夸张地说,移动支付已经成为中国人的一种
生活方式。导致这一现象的原因有很多。首先,互联网技术在中国正以惊人的速度发展,这
使得移动支付在全国越来越受欢迎成为可能。其次,中国拥有世界上最多的网民,这是移动
支付模式广泛普及的基础。最后,一些著名的公司,如阿里巴巴和腾讯,也在推广这种新的
支付模式中发挥了积极的作用。
From all above, we can conclude that mobile payment will be a general trend in the
future. On one hand, we should put great emphasis on innovation and invention in every
field. On the other hand, some effective measures must be taken to resist the financial
risks. As long as we follow the points mentioned above, we can benefit more from the
Internet technology in the days to come.
综上所述,我们可以得出结论,移动支付将是未来的大趋势。一方面,我们应该高度重
视各领域的创新和发明。另一方面,必须采取一些有效的措施来抵御金融风险。只要我们遵
循上面提到的几点,我们就能在未来的日子里从互联网技术中获益更多。

The bar chart given illustrates the growth of the express industry in China from 2018
to 2020. 概括 Specifically speaking, the total domestic business volume was 51 billion
parcels in 2018 and increased to 83 billion packages in 2020. Meanwhile, the business
volume in rural areas also gradually climbed from 12 billion to 30 billion, which suggests
the express industry in rural areas has a great potential.

举一反三:
As is shown in the bar graph given above, China's express industry has experienced
a period of rapid development in the past few years. To be specific, the total business
volume was 51 million packages in 2018 and increased to 83 billion packages in 2020.
Besides, the business volume in rural areas also climbed from 12 billion to 30 billion.

In general, there are several factors accounting for such a trend. Firstly, the electronic
commerce has been booming in recent years, which has laid a solid foundation for the
expansion of the industry. Secondly, the shopping pattern of the public has also changed
a lot. Nowadays a growing number of city residents rely on online retailing platforms, like
Taobao and Jingdong. In such a case, goods purchased by the consumers need to be
transported and delivered by express industry, which brings a rare opportunity for
express industry to grow rapidly. Last but not least, the government put great emphasis
on the construction of infrastructure, including the rural areas, which greatly contributes to
the development of China’s express industry.
...main, chief, major, leading factors / reasons
Emerge / emerging economies /
There are three chief reasons leading to this trend.
To begin with, with the emergence of the Internet technology, there has been a boom
in e-commerce, which paves the way for the rapid development of express industry.
Besides, due to the extensive use of the Internet, online shopping has gradually come
into people’s daily life and become a kind of lifestyle, which offers a rare opportunity for
express industry to develop rapidly in a very short period of time.
Most importantly, great emphasis has been placed on the construction of
infrastructure in recent years, including roads, railways and airports. The great progress
achieved in the field of transportation has laid a solid foundation for the take-off of express
industry.
...put, place, lay emphasis on...
...attach great importance to..
...highlight, stress, emphasize

Based on what has been mentioned above, we may come to the conclusion that
express delivery industry plays a key role in the economic growth. It not only brings us
convenience but also accelerate the economic development. Meanwhile, it can be
predicted that the business volume of express delivery will continue to increase in the
years to come.
We can predict that...

In a word, China’s express industry has made remarkable achievements in recent


years and transformed the way of our life in many aspects. Meanwhile, it can be predicted
that the business volume of express industry in both urban and rural areas will continue to
expand due to the great demand of the market.

According to the chart above, some noticeable changes have taken place in the
market share of different car brands. To be specific, the market share of domestically
made cars increased by about 7% from 2008 to 2009. During the same period, the share
taken by the Japanese car brands declined by about 10% from 35% to 26% and that of
American car brands remained unchanged.
According to the chart given above, we can observe that some noticeable changes
have taken place in terms of market share of different car brands. As can be seen from the
chart, the share of the domestically made cars increased by 7% from 2008 to 2009. By
contrast, the share of the Japanese car brands sharply declined from 35% to 26%. When
it comes to the American car brands, the share of them remained unchanged / stable
during the same period.
In my view, such trend is mainly caused by the following three factors.
Firstly, in recent years,Chinese car makers put great emphasis on the improvement
of the quality, including car’s exterior and function. Of course, the reasonable price is
another factor which attracts the consumers.
Secondly, Japanese cars have gradually lost their competitiveness partly due to
safety crisis, such as brake problems and other problems related to safety.
Compared with the domestic and Japanese car brands, American cars are more
expensive and have a high oil consumption, which explains why the sales of American
cars remain unchanged in recent two years.

12
In my view, such trend is mainly caused by the following three factors. Firstly,
Chinese car makers put great emphasis on the quality of the products and the after-sales
services for the consumers in recent years. Of course, the price of the cars have gradually
dropped these years, which is also considered as an important element to attract the
consumers. Secondly, Japanese car brands have gradually lost their competitiveness
partly due to safety crisis, such as brake problems. Thirdly, compared with previous two
kinds of car brands, the American cars are more expensive and energy-consuming, which
explains why the sales of American cars are low and have not changed so much.

In short, it can be predicted that the market share of the domestically made cars will
continue to expand since great importance has been attached to the introduction and
adoption of new technology as well as better after-sales services for the consumers.
Meanwhile, the share of other car brands will decline in the future.

In short, it can be predicted that the market share of domestic car brands will continue
to expand due to great emphasis on both after-sales services and the introduction and
adoption of the new technology. Meanwhile, the share of foreign car brands will continue
to decline since the cars made in China have greatly enhanced their competitiveness in
the market.

第一段操作程序

As is shown in the table, a big difference exists in terms of job satisfaction among
people of different ages in a certain company. Of all these employees, people aged 41 to
50 are most dissatisfied with their current status, accounting for 64% of this age group. On
the contrary, 40% of those above 50 are moderately satisfied with their present situation.
Those under 40 make no comments about this issue, which takes up about 50%.

As can be seen from the table given above, there is a definite link between age and
job satisfaction of the employees in a certain company. To be specific, the employees
aged 41 to 50 show an obvious dissatisfaction to their current status, accounting for 64%
of this age group. Interestingly, those above 50 are relatively satisfied with their position,
which makes up 40%. As to those under 40, they make no comments about their current
situation, taking up about 50%.

In my view, there are several factors leading to this result. To begin with, most of those
aged 41 to 50 are the breadwinners of the family. And they bear more financial and
psychological pressure and long for a high salary, which explains why they show a great
dissatisfaction with / to their current position. On the contrary, the people aged over 50
enjoy a relatively higher job satisfaction in that they experienced hardships in the past and
know how to strike a balance between the dreams and the reality. Compared with the two
groups mentioned above, people under 40 pay little attention to their current situation
since they are not under too much pressure at the moment.

In my view, there are several factors leading to this result. To begin with, with the
competition becoming increasingly fierce, those middle-aged people are suffering great
financial and psychological pressure. That is why they aspire to work in the more

14
challenging positions with higher salary. On the contrary, the employees over 50 show a
relatively higher job satisfaction because they experienced a lot in the past and know how
to cope with the difficulties and strike a balance between personal expectation and the
reality. Compared with other two age groups, the life of those under 40 is full of
uncertainties, so they are unable to give a definite answer to this question.

In general, a big difference exists among people of different ages in terms of job
satisfaction. For one thing, the employees should update their knowledge constantly so as
to increase their competitiveness in the company. For another, the management should
make great efforts to improve the living and working conditions for the employees. Only in
these ways can we expect a marked increase in the job satisfaction.

In short, we can conclude that age is closely associated with one’s job satisfaction. In
order to increase the job satisfaction, the employees need to update knowledge so as to
enhance their own competitiveness. Meanwhile, great efforts should be made by the
management to constantly improve the living and working conditions. Only in these ways
will the employees have a high sense of belonging.

The bar chart reveals the proportion of the students taking up part-time jobs in a
certain university. According to the figures, there is a steady increase in the percentage of
freshmen, sophomore and juniors while the proportion of the seniors has witnessed a
sharp increase, rising up to 88.24%.
Several reasons can account for this phenomenon. To begin with, the temporary jobs
offer students a good chance to apply what they have learned from books to practice. This
is why so many students show a great interest in doing part-time jobs in their spare time.
In addition, doing part-time jobs enable them to know more about the real society, which
helps them better adapt to the life after graduation. But what explains a sharp increase in
participation rate among seniors? The possible reason is that, compared with other three
groups, the seniors have completed most of the courses, which gives them more time to
do whatever they like, including doing part-time jobs.
To conclude, part-time job has become an indispensable part of our campus life.
Meanwhile, it can be predicted that in the future, the number of the students taking up
part-time jobs will continue to increase in the future.

The bar chart reveals that both rural and urban population experienced a noticeable
change over the past two decades. From 1990 to 2010, the number of city residents

16
increased rapidly from 300 million in 1990 to nearly 670 million in 2010 while the number
of rural population decreased gradually from about 830 million to roughly 680 million.
From the chart, we can learn that people in mounting numbers leave the rural areas
and move to the cities. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Several reasons can
account for this. Firstly, the government has made the policy to promote urbanization,
which is the key factor leading to the increase of urban population. Secondly, compared
with rural areas, city life enables people to have more job opportunities and enjoy a decent
salary. Thirdly, urban life brings residents more benefits, such as good infrastructure,
medical care and better education for children.
To conclude, urbanization is an irreversible trend and this is going to be a long
process. Meanwhile, the unbalanced development between big cities and rural areas also
shows that China still has a long way to go in terms of its urbanization.

The pie chart shows the resident’s expenses of a certain city during the Spring
Festival. Of all these expenses, the amount of money spent on gifts is at the top of the list,
accounting for about 40% of the total. Besides, the expense on traffic, dinner parties and
other aspects takes up 20% respectively.
From the statistics above, we can observe that the recent years have witnessed
some changes in residents’ spending mode during the Spring Festival. There are at least
two reasons for these changes. First of all, with the social changes, people pay more and
more attention to interpersonal relationship. During the festival, sending gifts each other is
considered as a good way to reinforce / enhance emotional connection. Another change

17
is the marked rise of expenses on traffic and parties. Previously, many families would
spend the Spring Festival at home with family members, but in recent years more and
more families choose to celebrate the new year at the high-rating restaurants and some
even travel abroad during the holiday, which makes the marked increase of the expense
on food and traffic inevitable.
To sum up, people’s spending habits have changed a lot in recent years. With the
steady economic growth of China, we can predict that the expenses on gifts or enhancing
the emotional connection will continue to increase in the days to come.

As is shown in the chart, the past three years witnessed a steady rise in the number
of both museum and its visitors. Specifically speaking, there was a sharp rise in the
number of museum in China, soaring from 4,165 in 2013 to 4,692 in 2015. Similarly, the
number of visitors also experienced a corresponding rise from 637.8 million to 781.1
million during the same period.
There are two factors leading to this tendency. First of all, museum plays a key role in
the construction and inheritance of traditional cultures. In order to make our splendid
cultures known to more people, a lot of money has been invested in the construction of
the museum by the government. Besides, with the improvement of the material life, the
public begin to seek for the rich spiritual life and they want to know more about history and
culture of the country. That is why so many tourists make museum one of their travel
destinations.
In general, we can come to a conclusion that nowadays visiting museums has
become an indispensable part of people’s daily life. Meanwhile, we can also predict that
the number of museum and its visitors will continue to increase in the years to come.
