　　[范文1]Should Women Have Equal Job Opportunities with Men?This table shows the different opinions about whether women should have equal job opportunities in the following three countries, China, the U.S.A. and Japan.As can be seen in the table, the people who agree with this point exceed those who disagree, especially in China. However, there are still some people in the three countries, especially in Japan who are against women’s equal job opportunities with men.The reason may go as follows: on the one hand, as society develops, women’s social position has been raised greatly. In China, certain laws been passed to protect women’s rights. In the U.S.A., it is illegal to discriminate against women in employment. On the other hand, women are still considered inferior to men in many aspects as a result of traditional idea as well as physiological differences between men and women. This is more serious in Japan. In my opinion, women’s importance in society should be admitted. They should be provided with more job opportunities rather than be looked down upon.

　　[范文2]The Improvement of the Living Standards of the Chinese CitizensThis chart shows the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese citizens from the year 1988 to 1998.As indicated in the chart, both the income and the living expense of Chinese city residents rose steadily from 1988 to 1998. This makes it clear that the living standards of the Chinese citizens are being improved. The average monthly income of each family was 1,200 yuan in 1988 and 3,000 yuan in 1998. After deducting the cost brought about by price rises, the income in 1998 increased 250% compared with that in 1998.And the way in which average citizens spend their income has also changed. Now they spend more money on clothing, housing, articles for daily use and culture life service. This indicates that they pay much more attention to the quality of their life.Therefore, we can conclude that with the progress of our society and the continuous implementation of the policy of reforming and opening up, the living standards of the Chinese citizens will become higher and higher.
