Topic 1: Mobile-phone subscriptions
From the bar chart given above, we can observe that mobile- phone subscriptions in
developing and developed country experienced some changes during the past several year. The
number of mobile- phone subscriptions in developing countries increased dramatically from less
than 1 billion in 2000 to 4 billion in 2008. Taking a look at the statistics of mobile-phone
subscriptions in developed countries, we can see that it ascended gradually from less than 1 billion
in 2000 to the maximum at 1 billion in 2007, and then remained unchanged in 2008.
The bar chart reveals that there exists difference in the development of mobile-phone
subscriptions between developing and developed countries. What exactly contribute to this
phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: the authorities in developing countries have issued
some preferential policies to protect and promote the development of the mobile-phone industry.
Moreover, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, people in mounting
numbers can afford to buy mobile- phones which was once deemed expensive. When it comes to
developed countries, its slow growth can be best attributed to the market saturation: almost every
one has owned mobile-phones, it is no need for them to buy a new one.
By observing the trend in developed countries, we may forecast that the mobile-phone
subscriptions will not continue to grow rapidly, as developing countries will meet the same
problem of “limited grow space”. This is, obviously, the law of the market development

Topic 2: Domestic market share of different car brands
From the bar chart given above, we can observe that the market share of different brands in
domestic car markets experienced some changes during the past several years. The car market
share of Chinese brands increased markedly from 25% in 2008 to roughly 35% in 2009. During
the same period , the proportion of Japanese brands decreased sharply by nearly 10% from 35% to
25%. The percentage of American brands remained unchanged at 15% from 2008 to 2009.
The bar chart reveals that there exists some difference in the development tendency among
different car brands. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon ? Reasons can be listed as
follows: for one thing, the Chinese government has issued some preferential policies to protect
and promote the rapid extension of domestic automotive industry. Moreover, with the decline of
the prices of domestic cars, people in mounting numbers are more inclined to choose them. As for
Japanese car brands, its loss of customers can be attributed to the “Recall Crisis” and low price
performance ration.
To maintain the leading position, Chinese automotive industry should spare no efforts to
improve their capabilities of products innovation, service awareness and continue to lower its
prices. Only in this way can the car industry enjoy a sustainable development. (208 words)

Topic 3: Changes in the number of TV-goers and Film-goers
From the curve chart given above, we can observe that the number of film-goers and
TV-goers experienced some changes over the past decade. From 1975 to 1985, the number of
film-goers decreased rapidly from 80 million to nearly 10 million. During the same period, the
number of TV-goers increased sharply from less than 10 million to approximately 100 million.
The curve chart informs us of the phenomenon that there exists an opposite tendency between
film-goers and TV- goers. Many reasons can account for this phenomenon, and the followings
might be the most critical ones: for one thing, by improving the quality of programs, the
TV-industry has retained a large body of televiewers and attracted quite a few potential viewers
that would have swarmed into cinemas. When it comes to the cinema, the reason why it slackens
might be attributed to the change of people’s consumption idea, people in increasing numbers
hold the opinion that the ticket fare is sometimes too high for them to afford. Besides, by taking
advantage of the convenience offered by the Internet, people can download their favorite movies
from the websites directly instead of sitting in the movie theater, which also reinforces the
inexorable decline of cinema industry.
Whether the film industry will continue to shrink away or not is still unknown. However, no
one can deny the fact that movies play an indispensable role in enriching our lives. Perhaps one
day, the cinema industry will enjoy a revival, time will tell.

Topic 4: Global E-commerce turnover
From the curve chart given above, we can observe that the turnover of global E-commerce
experienced some change during the past several years. From 1997 to 2005, it rose dramatically
from 20 billion to 900 billion.
The curve chart reveals that the global E-commerce industry enjoys an explosive growth.
Quite a few reasons can be listed to account for this phenomenon, and the followings might be the
most critical ones: for one thing, the authorities of different countries have issued some
preferential policies to protect and encourage the development of E-commerce, thus quite a few
online-transaction websites emerge overnight. Moreover, the one-click-payment consumption
mode has been widely accepted by the public thanks to the widespread availability of the Internet.
Last but not least, people’s decision to purchase on-line can also be put down to the power of
so-called “group-dynamics”: when our friends are shopping at network, we will be influenced by
them and imitate their behaviors unconsciously.
The rapid development of E-commerce signals that new business models contribute largely to
the sustainable development of the global economy. However, when enjoying the fruits offered by
modern technology, we should also keep an eye on the underlying threat of it. In a world features
open boundary, deception and fraud sometime abound. (209 words )
