8. Graphs8 Sample 1 Year Number of People 250 150 50  People Below Poverty Line

9. Graphs9 Sample 1  Recently, the issue of people below poverty line has aroused much interest. As can be seen from the graph, the number of people below poverty line decreased during the years of 1978 to 1997. In 1978, there are 250 million throughout the country while in 1997 only 50 million people were under the line.

10. Graphs10 Sample 1  Several factors contribute to the decrease. First of all, the government’s policy of reform and opening up has accelerated the country’s development and prospered its economy. Second, people’s living condition has improved remarkably. All this results in a drop in the poverty-stricken population.

11. Graphs11 Sample 1  From the analysis above, we can safely conclude that this change will bring us much benefit. However, there are still many people living below poverty line due to China’s overpopulation, limited resources and relatively low employment, to mane just a few. Of course, the government is making every effort to solve those problems.

15. Graphs15 Sample 2  The table shows the changes in the way people travel. During the years between 1990 and 2003, the number of people traveling by train, by air and by private car has changed a great deal.

16. Graphs16 Sample 2  As can be seen from the table, there are two remarkable tendencies: one is the rate of traveling by air, and the other is that by private cars. The former rose from 8% in 1990 to 25% in 2003, while the latter from 10% to 32%, both increasing more than 3 times. The table also shows that the number of people traveling by train decreased by 23% though it is still many people’s first choice.

17. Graphs17 Sample 2  I think two things caused the changes. First, people are better off. They can afford to travel by air or in their own cars. Second, traveling by train is still favored by the majority, since it is cheaper. So, we may predict that as people’s living standard is improving, trains, cars and planes will be three main forms of transportation for long-distance travel.

24. Graphs24 Fire Causes in London  The graph shows the fire causes in London. As can be seen from the graph, careless smokers, defective insulations and children playing with matches are the three major causes of fires in London.

25. Graphs25 Fire Causes in London  Among the three major causes, smoking and children playing with matches accounts for 50 % and 37.5% of the fires respectively. Defective insulation is a less serious cause which is responsible for only 12.5% of the fires.

26. Graphs26 Fire Causes in London  From this we can conclude that whatever causes the fire, carelessness seems to be the root cause. Therefore, people should be more careful with fire. Children should be warned of the danger of playing with matches and electric workers should be instructed to take good care of insulation.

28. Graphs28 Average Income of the Chinese Farmers  The above line graph describes changes in the average income of Chinese farmers between the year of 1975 and 2000. As illustrated by the graph, Chinese farmers’ income has been increasing since 1975. The graph shows that the years between 1995 and 2000 witnessed a dramatic rise by 84%.

29. Graphs29 Average Income of the Chinese Farmers  What caused the changes? There are two major factors contributing to this. First, with the policy of reform and opening up, farmers are more activated by the household contract responsibility system, which offers many policies favorable to farmers. Second, the government has increased its subsidies to famous and reduced taxes on farmers.

30. Graphs30 Average Income of the Chinese Farmers  Considering the factors just outlined, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that the average income of Chinese farmers will keep on going upward in the future.

32. Graphs32 Estimated Earnings  The bar graph describes the estimated earning of people with different education at different ages. As can be seen from the graph, the estimated income of a person is closely related to his or her age and the education he or she has received.

33. Graphs33 Estimated Earnings  As far as one’s age is concerned, according to the graph, people in their 40s can earn a lot more than those in their 60s or 70s, with people in their 30s and 50s somewhere in between.  When one’s education is taken into account, it seems that the higher degree one gets, the more he or she will earn after graduation.

34. Graphs34 Estimated Earnings  All this seems to point to the conclusion that if we want to earn more money, we have to get a higher degree and that we had better work hard when we are young so as to put some money aside for the days when we can hardly earn any.
