Directions:

Study the following two pie charts carefully and write an essay entitled The Changes in College Students’Ways of Spending Vacations. In this essay you should:

(1) interpret college student’s ways of spending vacations in 1980 and2004,

(2) analyze possible reasons for the change, and

(3) your comments about the change.

You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

As is clearly shown by the two pie charts, from 1980 to 2004 the students who go traveling and do social practices during vacations increase greatly while those who stay at home decrease a lot. For instance, in 1980, only 9% of the students took advantage of their vacation time to do social practice, but its percentage has been more than tripled in 2004. Obviously, great changes have taken place in the way that college students spend their vacations.

Considering these changes, we can find there are possibly three main reasons. Firstly, with the fast development of economy, many people have become rich, which makes it possible for more students to go traveling. Most parents tend to support their children to travel financially. Secondly, the reason lies in the fact that the boom of tourism has made traveling attractive and, also, modem transportation has made it easier for students to go out to travel. The travel agencies not only provide historic sightseeing but also cultural as well as educational tour around China. What is more important, the fast changing society has raised higher requirements for college graduates. The authorities of Chinese university or college have been encouraging their students to do social practices in the hope that college students would broaden their view to know more about the society and become more adaptable to the future work after they graduate. Therefore, more students go out traveling or doing social practices during the vacations.

As a college student, I think the charts reflect the exciting progress on the college students’ thinking patterns. We have become much mature to realize how to spend our vacations meaningfully and practically. Form the changes in the charts, it is easy for us to predict that more and more college students will walk out their home and throw themselves into more various vacation activities.

On October 1st 2016 all Chinese people were excited because it was our nations 60th birthday ,To organize our school learn to sing patriotic songs, learn more about our older generation of revolutionary martyrs, the glorious history of struggle, accept patriotic education and training of our national pride.Walking in the street, I found that Our cities are becoming more and more beautiful.So, I see the vast land, the sons and daughters in between heaven and earth sing. Celebrating the birthday of the motherland 60 years of age, to the name of the Republic of children, to pay tribute to the motherland, in order to bless the motherThe 60th anniversary of National Day celebrations brought us tremendous shock。We must study hard in order to repay the motherland of our culture!

Last holiday, I went to the rural grandmothers home with my sisters for a holiday. The sky in the country is more lovely than the city, the air is so fresh, the sky is so bright, and the people are happy. We followed my brothers on the hillsides to find wild mushrooms and to catch wild chicken... We have left footprints all over the mountains and plains, although scanty harvest, but very happy.

One morning, my aunt said to us, "lets go and dig the sweet potatoes today." As soon as I heard it, I jumped three feet high and shouted, "great, so good!" Were starting out. At this time, the sun just came out, and put a golden color on the crops in the distance. It was golden and sparkling. Its beautiful. Its a composition of two grade, "memorable vacation". I am intoxicated in this beautiful scenery. The elder sister walked by and said, "go quickly, or you will fall off." I had to follow them. It took about half an hour to go to the sweet potato. There is nothing else in the sweet potato field except for some sparse and sparse withered rattan. My aunt began to dig the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes she dug were bigger than one. I really loved it in my hands. In a moment, the aunt dug out a lot of sweet potatoes. I asked my aunt in puzzles, "how did you dig so many sweet potatoes?" Auntie pointed to a withered sweet potato rattan, and said, "there are sweet potatoes, you dig and dig!" I dug the root of sweet potato vine, he was lying in a big sweet potato, I was very happy, hurriedly holding the results of their labor dance together, making everyone laugh. After a while, aunt under cut Zhucao, we dig on sweet potato. Dig dug, I slipped and rolled down from above, just rolled into the basket aunt, aunt hurried from the basket to pull me out. The sisters saw, laughing, said: "you really are a snake, was so slippery." I angrily said: "you have the humanity is good, I fell down, you not only dont comfort me, but schadenfreude." The elder sister said, "its not that we dont have mercy, but the action you fall down is so funny." In the afternoon, we returned home with our own sweet potatoes, which we had dug with our own hands.

A holiday soon ended, and we left it unwillingly. Though it has been in the past few months, it reminds us every time.

For most people， they will choose to travel during holiday because they want to relieve themselves from the high pressure of work。 However， it happens quite often that people often ran into traffic jams on the way to travel。 Some people think that we can relax ourselves by traveling no matter of how many people there。 Some people would rather to stay in home than going out to travel because they think there are too many people swarm into the scenic spots。 In my point of view， I would rather to stay indoors rather than going out to travel。 Reasons are listed below。

Firstly， during holiday， so many people swarm into the travel spots that we can’t enjoy ourselves to the full。 For most people， they want to travel because during holiday， they can have several days to relieve themselves by traveling。 However， so many people crowd together will make their tour lose the original fun。

Secondly， during holiday， price will be rising drastically。 It is known to all that you need to spend much more to buy things or taking bus or any other transportation since many retailers will raise goods’ price during this holiday to get fat profits。

All in all， travel during holiday is not a good choice for us since its inconvenience in traveling among a huge crowd of people and also the dramatically high price for goods and transportations will let us pay extra money。

My holiday life is over. Since this holiday, I dont have a good learning, just have been playing. Despite the homework finished, but also had a lot of thought to play a game. Alongside parents has been nagging, I also. Almost every day will get noisy, scolded, I also enough! I still think that life at school better, in the home, every day listening to the parents nagging, listening ear flood-battered residents, or nag constantly; In school, in addition to the teacher, nobody tube, free, free, and she is comfortable... Ah! This holiday season, has gone so fast, I miss my school, the school, can run, standing long jump in the playground at night, tired, rest back in class; After night lessons, take a hot bath, lying in bed rest, unconsciously could fall asleep... Miss when I was a childs life, but all over now, dont want to grow up, I gradually grew up, cherish life now, study hard, this is my goal now.

我的假期生活结束了。这个假期以来，我没有好好的学习，只是一直在玩耍。尽管作业写完了，可是也费了不少心思来玩游戏。旁边还有父母一直在唠叨，我也不服。每天几乎都会挨吵、挨骂，我也受够了!我还是认为在学校的生活比较好些，在家里，每天听着父母的唠叨，听的耳朵起茧子了，还是唠叨得不停;在学校，除老师之外，没有人管，无拘无束，自由自在，自己也舒服些……哎!这个假期，这么快的就过去了，我真怀念我的学校，那所中学，晚上可以在操场上跑步、立定跳远，累了，回到班中休息;下晚自习后，洗个热水澡，躺在床上休息，不知不觉中就能睡着……真怀念小时候的生活，可是一切都过去了，不想长大的我渐渐长大了，珍惜现在的生活，好好学习，这就是我现在的目标了。

[以假期为主题的英语作文以及中文翻译

I am a middle school student. I study many subjects at school. There are Chinese, maths, English, PE and so on. Among them, I like English best, because in class I can not only learn how to use the language but also know some foreign culture. Sometimes they sound interesting, for they are quite different from ours. With the teachers’ help, my English has improved a lot. It’s known that Beijing is going to host the 2008 Olympic Games. At that time, English must be the most useful language in our city. I have made up my mind to learn English well and be the top student in English learning.

What do the students plan to do for their holidays?

Here are the results of the survey about what the students in our class plan to do for their holidays.40% of the students will choose to go to visit their relatives and friends . After a busy term , they want to spent more time with the people they love .30% of the students are going to travel to relax. 15% of the students want to take training courses to improve themselves . The rest will just stay at home to have a good rest.They plan to read books .At the same time ,they also plan to go out to do sports to keep healthy.

学生们打算为他们的假期做什么?

下面是对我们班的同学为自己的假期计划调查的结果。40%的学生选择去拜访他们的亲戚和朋友。在一个繁忙的学期后,他们想花更多的时间与他们爱的人一起度过。30%的学生要去旅游放松一下。15%的学生想要培训课程来提高自己。剩下的就只想呆在家里好好休息一下。他们打算看书。与此同时,他们还计划去做运动来保持健康。

Today, I saw a roadside beggar. He is a middle-aged man, only two arms, and no legs. His arms come the hard ground prowling, also holding the hand of a begging bowl. Really pathetic, I can not help giving him 10 yuan. If we sacrificed our love, the world will be brighter.

今天，我在路边看到了一个乞丐．他是一个中年男子，只有两只胳膊，双腿都没有了．他用胳膊撑着地面艰难地潜行，手中还拿着一个乞讨用的碗．真的很可怜，我不由自主地给了他十块钱．如果我们多献出我们的爱情，世界将更美好。

So called self-help traveling refers that travelers themselves arrange travel route, travel time, and all the other matters during travel, without any guide and team leader. Nowadays this kind of traveling model is gaining more and more popularity among college students. According to the survey, over 80% of college students prefer self-help traveling to following a tour group。

Why are college students so fond of self-help traveling? Above all, self-help traveling gives travelers more freedom and space. College students don’t like being restricted. They want to arrange their travel as they wish. Moreover, self-help traveling provides college students a good chance to improve their adaptability and viability. Besides, the expenses in self-help traveling are controlled by travelers themselves. It is a good choice for those college students who have not much money for their disposal。

As a college student, I enjoy self-help traveling very much, and I have benefited a lot from it. For one thing, I have appreciated many amazing scenery that those travelers who follow tour groups can not. For another, self-help travel helps me learn how to deal with people better。
