9、f spending their holidays have changed over the past ten years. The proportion of travelling abroad has increased considerably from 15% to 25%, while the proportion of people going to the seaside has declined slightly from 40% to 35%. The most drastic change occurred in the proportion of people stay

10、ing at home, demonstrating a plunge of 25%, which was followed by the boom of camping tripling from 10% to 30%. In my opinion, there are a couple of reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, with the improvement of the living standard, people now have more options to spend their holidays, and trav

11、elling abroad, if affordable, is a good way to broaden their horizons. For another, we can deduce from the chart that camping is gradually taking the place of the beaches to become peoples first choice. The reason may consist in the fact that privacy is now taken into consideration, and the crowded

12、seaside is apparently not a good choice to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. In a word, ways to spend holidays are closely related to social and psychological transformations which deserve our reflection. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Is It Worthwhile to Attend University? As the picture depicts, a girl re

13、ceiving the university admission notice is stopped by her father, who is saying: “Going to university is uneconomical.“ Nowadays, there is a prevalent doubt about the value of going to university, and those who are against it even claim that it is just a waste of money and energy. As far as Im conce

14、rned, attending university is beneficial in more ways than one. To begin with, many a person benefits economically from university because it equips them with the necessary expertise and innovative ideas for their career life. Moreover, university also gives you mental satisfaction because you can g

15、et along with your peers, pursuing friendship as well as love. Last but not least, the benefits of college education will last for a lifetime or even for generations, because well-educated people tend to be competent both in their work and in raising their offspring. In conclusion, even though unive

16、rsity education may not assure instant economic return, it is rewarding in the long run. Just as the famous saying goes, knowledge is power.

17、 American Students As the chart indicates, the income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents, while in America, only 50% of students money is provided by parents. Besides, Chinese students earn onl

18、y 5% of their money from part-time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two sources for American students accounts for 35% and 15% respectively. There are two main reasons for the phenomenon. First, because of different social and family values, Chinese students have fo

19、rmed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed the sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents would rather pay for their childrens education than encourage them to take part-time jobs. But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing their childrens ability of self-reliance. To sum up, I believe with the development of society, more and more Chinese students will pay more attention to self-dependence and rely less heavily on their parents. 【知识模块】 作文
