　　【实战演练】

　　48. Directions:

　　Write an essay based on the chart below. In your writing, you should

　　1) interpret the chart, and

　　2) give your comments.

　　You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)

　　The chart given above reflects the distribution of consumption for residents in a city in 2017. To be specific, proportion on purchasing or renting an apartment accounts for 32.1% of the total income, ranking first. Expenditure on educational and cultural services and on food occupies 21% and 18.2% respectively, with transport expense 17.5%.

　　It is no difficulty for us to come up with some possible factors to account for the phenomenon. To begin with, the recent rapid growth of national economy in recent years stimulates higher prices for apartments in the city, which can justify a higher residential consumption. In addition, the majority of urban residents usually attach great importance on education, so they also invest a lot on education and cultural services.

　　Taking above-mentioned analysis into account, we can naturally arrive at the conclusion: as the society further develops, the phenomenon mirrored by the pie chart is bound to continue for a couple of years in the forthcoming future, which is truly acceptable in general.
