Increasing the price of petrol is right or not? Many people think increasing the price of the petrol is a efficient way to control the traffic in the city and prevent pollution from being more serious in our environment. However, higher petrol price may cause some other problems, and there should be more methods to protect our environment and solve traffic problems. For the people who believe it’s better to increase the price of the petrol has their valid reasons. Petrol is a precious resources on our planet. It couldn’t be recreated if it’s used up. As the development of the modernization, transportation is much busier than decades ago. It’s more difficult and time consuming for people to travel if the traffic jam is serious on the road. Even if people choose to walk and riding bicycle outside, they can’t enjoy their journey because of the worse air quality caused by fuel gas from vehicles. Since petrol is the source of gasoline, increasing the price of petrol is an efficient way to prevent people to use their private cars too often in big cities. Furthermore, higher price also strengthens citizens’ awareness on using precious resources carefully on the Earth. However, it’s not easy to solve traffic and environment problems only by making the price of petrol more expensive. For the people who can’t afford the new petrol price, they may stop to buy new private cars. Thus, the pressure of the car market will be higher that the manufacturers need to create other better methods to attract customers. What’s more, with less people driving on the streets, more people will take public transportation, in which case the city will become very crowded. Last but not the least, pollution of the environment is related to many factors such as emission of the poisonous gas from factories, the inappropriately use of water, the lack of politic rules, etc. It would not be improved if there is no enough attention paid to other causes except for the price of petrol. All in all, increasing the price of petrol is only one of the methods to make traffic and environment problems less serious. Government should also make rules to reduce the emission of harmful gases from factories and encourage people to use resources properly. It’s everyone’s duty to take part in the activities to make our life more convenient and comfortable.

a writing article The three pie charts show the money spent by one school in the UK in 1981, 1991 and 2001 respectively. We can see that in these three years, the money spent on teachers’ salaries varies between 40% and 50% of the total money, which is the biggest proportion of the annual spending. However, the proportion of cost of salaries for other workers decreases, from 28% in 1981 to 9% in 2001. From the chart, insurance seems to be more and more important in this school in these three years. The proportion of school spending on it increases from 2% in 1981 to 8% in 2001. But the percentage of annual spending on school resources and equipment fluctuates. For example, 15% of the total money was spent on resources (such as books) in 1981. This percentage is 20% in 1991, but 9% in 2001. While, the proportion of cost on school furniture and equipment has the opposite trend, with 15%, 5% and 23% in 1981, 1991 and 2001 respectively. As a result, we can see that in the particular UK school in these three years, most of the annual spending is on salaries for teachers and other workers. The spending on insurance occupies bigger and bigger proportion, although it is less than 10% in all of those years. The proportion of spending on remainders keeps 25% to 30%.

a short article discribing a chart From the chart we can see that there is smaller proportion of aged people living in poverty than the proportion of poor people from family structures in younger adults. There is 6% of single elderly people and 4% of elderly couples living in poverty. As for younger adults, single adults are more likely to live in poverty comparing with couples. For example, 19% of people from single adults without children were living in poverty and 21% of sole parents were in the same situation. While for the couples without children, the percentage is 7%, and 12% for the couples with children. Also, we can see that people from the families with children has higher poor level than those from the families without children. The average proportion for all household living in poverty is 11%. According to the chart, the proportion of poor aged people is below this position, while the percentage of most of younger adults living in poverty is higher than the average level.
