last decade,the divorce rate in big cities has increased as much as it had in the previous thirty years.Sample OneThe upward trend in divorce seems to be a mirror of some important changes in Chinese society.First,legal changes have simplified divorce procedures,and removed barriers to divorce.More and more people,both young and old,are now benefiting from,even taking advantage of the new law which for the first time in history allows a couple to get divorced merely for loves sake.Sample OneSecond,there has been a significant change in social attitude towards the divorced persons.The act of divorce is no longer considered a social stigma(耻辱耻辱).Finally,the change in personal economic activities also facilitate divorce.The unprecedented social mobility in the last 10 years both within the country and across the land has placed severe strains on married couples,not only in terms of geographic separation,but also psychological change.Sample OneWhatever changes leading to the rise in divorce fates,the fact and the statistics alone reflect the change in peoples traditional view of marriage and family life.Changes in Peoples Diet(Topic Two)Changes in Peoples Diet1.1.根据上图描述在过去根据上图描述在过去5 5年里人们饮食年里人们饮食上的变化；上的变化；2.2.分析产生这些变化的原因；分析产生这些变化的原因；3.3.你的结论你的结论Sample TwoIn the last 20 years,a marked change has taken place on the family dining table.According to the table,rice,the staple food of most Chinese,is now playing a less important role in their diet,while the consumption of high quality food such as meat,fish,milk and fruit has greatly increased.Two factors may contribute to the change.One important factor is that people now enjoy a higher standard of living than ever before.In the old days few people could afford meat and milk every day,which often meant a big chunk of the family income.But now people have enough money to taste a rich variety of food.Another factor is that people of today pay more attention to nutrition.They are not merely content to fill the stomach.They are seeking the most reasonable diet which will do good to their health.In short,with peoples standard of living getting higher and higher,changes in their diet will be more obvious and greater.Car Explosion in China(Topic Three)Car Explosion in China1.1.根据上图描述在过去根据上图描述在过去1010年里私人拥有年里私人拥有小汽车情况的变化；小汽车情况的变化；2.2.分析产生这些变化的原因；分析产生这些变化的原因；3.3.你的结论你的结论Sample ThreeAs is vividly described in the table above,great changes in car ownership have taken place in China over past decade.The number of private cars has accordingly increased nearly 7 times from more than 2 million in 1996 to over 14 million in 2006.Whats the reason？There are two main factors for these changes.To begin with,development in economy plays a vital role in these years.The higher incomes results in Chinese peoples owning private cars.Whats more,in modern society,time means money,many Chinese need a car to do business on time.In my view,however,the car explosion will constantly increase year by year,a large number of social problems such as traffic jams,among other things,are turning up nearly every city in China.结束语结束语谢谢大家聆听！谢谢大家聆听！53
