Health improvement in developing countries gdyP,zMD7
From the above charts we can see that developing countries have made great progress (achievements) in heath care (their people’s health). ` O|PP3S
These two charts give us a general idea about the health improvement made by the developing countries during the 30 years from 1960 to 1990. Z'L}x6
From the above charts we can see that people’s health has been greatly improved in developing countries. _,; |,
The above charts show that… `?R~iLIAq
The life expectancy in developing countries rose (increased) from a little (much) less than (a little more than) 40 years (or so) old in 1960 to 60 years old in 1990. :3Hr: ~
The infant mortality in developing countries dropped (decreased) from nearly (roughly / about / approximately) 200 deaths per 1000 births in 1960 to less than 100 deaths per 1000 births in 1990. F82_#|kpS
From the above charts we can clearly see that developing countries made great / remarkable / tremendous progress in heath care in the period of 30 years from 1960 to 1990. Iz<}>J B
The left chart shows that their life expectancy (the life expectancy of the people living there) rose from less than 40 years old in 1960 to 60 years old in 1990. While the right chart indicates that their infant mortality dropped from nearly 200 deaths per 1000 births to less than 100 deaths per 1000 births in the same period. o Z#4<7K
I think that there are at least two main reasons leading to this improvement during the 30 years. First, with the economic development in most developing countries, (especially in the Asian ones,) their living standards were continuously improving. As a result, people there could live much longer. Secondly, with the progress of medical science and living standard, people there could have better medical care. (The progress of medical science and living standard resulted in better medical care for the people [the common people / the ordinary people / the majority of the people].) Consequently, the death rates, especially the infant mortality, dropped greatly (dramatically/ strikingly/ tremendously). MH,vn</Uw
In a word, this health improvement is the greatest achievement of all that the developing countries made. ]OK s 65

Changes in People’s Diet T};fy+iq
From the following figures we can see that people’s diet changed in the past 5 years from *** to ***. 8s_'tw/{
It is clear (obvious / most striking) that people ate (consumed / had) more milk and meat but less grain and fruit & vegetable. The increase of meat in people’s diet was the most obvious. Meat had a 6% increase in 1989. The decrease of grain and that of fruit & vegetable were 4% and 3% respectively in the past 5 years (in the same period). `_{^&W
WS
The reason for the changes in people’s diet is that people’s living standard has been improved with the economic development in our society. Better living conditions enabled people to eat better. People had more money to buy (consume) more meat and milk, the kinds of food that were only often consumed by the rich in the past. T>ds<MaLP
In my opinion, such changes are generally good. More meat and milk in people’s diet will make people healthier and stronger. (More meat and milk in people’s diet will result in healthier and stronger people.) But the decrease of fruit & vegetable consumption in diet, (however), is not a good thing (will have a negative impact on people’s health). ^Pk-<b4}
To have a balanced diet, people should eat more fruit & vegetable as well as more milk and meet. (People should not only eat more meat and milk, but also more fruit & vegetable.) (179 words) D|[~Py

Sharp Increase in World Population nRmZu\(Ow|
This is a bar chart which describes the sharp increase of world population from the beginning of human race (man) to 1975. tNI~<#+lg
According to the figures (statistics) given in the chart, it took at least half a million years, from the beginning to the year 1830, for the human population to reach one billion. Then the world population increased rapidly, adding up to two billion in 1930, only 100 years later. The third billion was added by 1960, only thirty years later. From then on the global population was on a more rapid rise, amounting to 4 billion in 1975, which means an increase of another billion people in only 15 years. wtDy-H n
There are at least two reasons, I think, for such a sharp increase (the sharp increase in world population). In the first place, the birth rate is continuously climbing in many countries, especially in developing countries. Generally speaking, people there hold the opinion that the more children they have the happier their lives will be. Secondly, the death rate in most developed countries declines steadily because people's standards of living were raised and health care improved. N| dwuBW
In my opinion, the major reason for the population growth is not the rise in birth rate but the fall in death rate. (201 words) eVZ/3o
In my opinion, the global population explosion will surely result in many problems, especially those concerning the continuous existence of the human race. =*aun&

Average Personal Income of the Chinese Farmers form 1970 to 1990 I-Ya#s#m
According to the figures given by the graph, the Chinese farmers’ personal income rose steadily from 1970 to 1990. }l/ !thzC
In the middle of 1970’s their average income was rather low. Their annual personal income was about 140 yuan. But in 1980 the average personal income increased by approximately 50%, reaching 210 yuan. As is shown by the graph, in 1985 their income doubled, amounting to 420 yuan. After that there was a consistent tendency to grow. -$#'
In a word, during the period of 20 years the farmers' income had gone up rapidly. OE(Z)|LF
There were two reasons for the increase in the farmers' income in China. First, the Chinese government carried out a reform and open policy. A large number of industrial businesses were set up in the rural areas. Second, a significant progress was made in the agricultural technology. As a result, the agricultural outputs were on the rise all the time. All these factors resulted in the steady growth of farmers' income. e?%Qv+)W
There is no doubt, I believe, that when China's agriculture develops more rapidly, the farmers' living standard will be improved to a greater extent. (189 words)
