It is illustrated by the graph that China?s population has reached 1.3 billion. It is also reported that the number will keep increasing in the coming years. As the problem remains, some consequences may naturally follow. For one thing, the rapid growth of the population has caused great pressure on the supply of food, water, fuel and housing, and has consequently brought about a lot of problems to both the society and the people?s life. For another, the large population has led to widespread unemployment in cities and, as a result, the society is facing much more instability. Finally, the large population has also caused continuing poverty in densely populated areas, and has made it harder for children from poor families to receive education. It is obvious that the rapid growth of population should be controlled by the government. To solve the problem, both the government and the general public should make greater efforts. The government should do more to implement the family planning policy. The public should be informed about the serious problems caused by large population. ［分析讲解］ 本文开头先总述图表所反映的现象，然后对图表加以说明。 Useful Expressions: Nowadays, one of the most serious problems for China is the growth of its population.

Instead of joining a travel agency and setting out in a group, many people, especially the young, enjoy traveling on their own. As this graph shows, the number of group travelers and self?travelers are both on the rapid increase. But people traveling on their own see their number increasing much faster than those of group travel. In 1996, there were already some people choosing to travel on their own, but in 2002 that number reached almost 40 million. Traveling on one?s own has many visible advantages. You can choose your own favorable trip itinerary and work out the travel schedule by yourself. You will be free to decide where you will go and how long you will stay there. Travel expense will be lower because you can save unnecessary spending and choose economical means of transport. You can avoid unwanted shopping trips organized by the travel agency. Besides these advantages, traveling on your own provides opportunities to chasten your personality and character. During this self?help trip you will test your ability of independence, strengthen your self?protection awareness and improve your decision?making ability. As far as I know, just because of these exercises and practices, many people prefer traveling on their own rather than traveling in a group. In short, self?travel is a new form of spending holidays which offers people a chance to enjoy the happiness and freedom during the journey. This kind of traveling is not only a test of one?s inclination but also a great challenge to one?s ability. ［分析讲解］ 本文采用间接开头法，即先对某种现象进行描述，然后用数字加以说明，并且对两种形式进行对比。最后引出中心论点。 Useful Expressions: Traveling on one?s own is growing more and more popular in China.
