　　[例]

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition of no less than 160 words on Income Sources between Chinese and American Students. Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:

　　1. Describe the differences of the income sources between Chinese and American students.

　　2. Analyze possible reasons for these differences.

　　3. Predicate future tendency.

　　Source of Income Percentage of Total IncomeParentsPart-time jobFellowship or Scholarship

　　American Students50%35%15%

　　Chinese Students90%5%5%

　　[范文]

　　The table gives information about income sources between Chinese students and American students and we can clearly find they are totally different. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students’ money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn only 5% of their money from part-time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.

　　I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values, Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their children’s education rather than encourage them to take part-time jobs. But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students’ ability of self-reliance, so they encourage their children to find part-time job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China, it is relatively easy for students to find part-time jobs. In China, such opportunities are rather rare.

　　I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self dependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part-time jobs. Therefore, more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.
