Changes in People’s Daily Expenses 每天開支變化情況

What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the people’s daily expenses from 1995 to 1999. The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7% . The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but closely related to one another .hxen.com

There are two factors accounting for these changes. Development in economy is an essential one in the five years. The increased income resulting from economic growth plays an important part in the less expense on food. Hence, a small percentage of total income is enough to cover food expense. Another one is the changes in life style. When food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time . As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year after year.

From the analyses made above, we may come to the conclusion that people’s living standards have been constantly improved between 1995 and 1999. With the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction .

點評

該預(yù)測題屬于圖表作文寫作，與社會生活密切相關(guān)，與1991年6月份四級考試人們飲食結(jié)構(gòu)的變化圖表作文寫作類似。根據(jù)四級圖表作文命題規(guī)律，第一段描述人們1995到1999年日常開支所發(fā)生的巨大變化;第二段分析產(chǎn)生變化的原因;最后一段依據(jù)圖表所示變化作出了合乎邏輯的預(yù)測。文章緊扣主題，條理清楚，語言連貫，表述準(zhǔn)確規(guī)范，結(jié)論合理。

譯文：

上圖顯示的數(shù)據(jù)表明，人們的日常開支在1995到1999年有戲劇性的變化。食物支出下降了30%，而服裝和娛樂分別增加了9%和7%。上升和下降的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)似乎孤立存在但又是相互緊密聯(lián)系。

有兩個因素影響這些變化。經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展是至關(guān)重要的在這五年里。經(jīng)濟發(fā)展帶來的收入增長，對糧食的費用減少是重要組成部分。因此，工資總額的一小部分足以支付食物的費用。另一個因素是生活方式的改變。當(dāng)普通人不再擔(dān)心食物，人們開始更多地關(guān)注對英俊的外表和快樂的休閑活動。這種轉(zhuǎn)變的結(jié)果是一年后，服裝和娛樂支出逐年增加。

從以上的分析，我們可以得出這樣的結(jié)論：人們的生活水平在1995和1999年之間不斷提高。隨著經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和生活方式的變化進(jìn)一步增長，表中顯示的趨勢將繼續(xù)向好的方向發(fā)展。
