17、hinese Students and American StudentsIncome sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of Americanstudents. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while inAmerica, only 50% of students money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinesestudents earn only 5% of th

18、eir money from part time jobs and 5% from fellowshipor scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takesup 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because ofthe influence of different social and

19、 family values, Chinese students have formed thehabit of asking for money from their parents while American students havedeveloped more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chineseparents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up toafford their children s e

20、ducation rather than encourage them to take-timepartjobs.But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the studentsof self-reliance, so they encourage their children to find part-time job to earn somemoney by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China, it isrelativ

21、ely easy for students to find part time jobs. In China, such opportunities arerather rare.I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students willrealize and pay more attention to the necessity of self dependence. In addition,more and more opportunities will be provided for them

22、to take part-time jobs. Somore students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and tobecome the master of their own lives.10The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the
