20、 your kind consideration.Yours faithfullyZhang ChangPart II The chart shows the number of the students studying abroad and students returning to the homeland in China between 1993 and 2003. In 1993, the number of the students studying abroad reached 10,000. However, only one-fifth of them, about 2,0

21、00 students, returned to the homeland. Ten years later, there was a great increase in this number which hit 60,000, six times than the number in 1993. On the other hand, the number of students returning to homeland also rose from 2,000 in 1993 to 40,000 in 2003. This number takes up about 67% in the

22、 number of students studying abroad.Through the chart, we can see that more and more students choose to study abroad in recent years, and this situation will continue for quite a long time. With the number of students studying abroad arose, it can be predicted that more and more students return to t

23、he homeland. In 1993, not many people can go to university to study and the number of students studying abroad is fewer because of the poor economic conditions. Those who successfully went abroad would not return since they can enjoy better life in foreign countries. Things are quite different now,

24、with the quick economic development of China, more and more students studying abroad have been attracted to return to China, and they can have more opportunities to develop themselves here in their homeland.全国高职高专英语写作大赛英语专业组样题（二）Part I Current Situation of College Graduates Annual IncomeThe line cha

25、rt illustrates the average annual income (in RMB) for both male and female college graduates during the period of their first working year from 2004 to 2008 in China.For the income of male, the number rises from 12,000 in 2004 to more than 14,000 in 2005, whereas it slightly drops to around 13,000 i

26、n 2006. From the year 2006 to 2007, the annual income increased sharply from 13,000 to 18,000. However the number drops to 16,500 in the year 2008.The income of female goes all the way up from 2004 to 2007. To be more specific, the number increased from 11,500 in 2004 to under 14,000 in 2005 and it

27、enjoys a slight rise around 14,000 from 2005 to 2006. The number rises comparatively sharply from 14,000 to 17,000 from 2006 to 2007. In the year 2008, the number drops to 16,000, with a decrease of 1,000.Although there is indeed gender discrimination in some particular jobs, its much better than be

28、fore. Today male and female workers almost enjoy the same rights. And with the countrys economic conditions, the income would swing doubtlessly.Part II Better Behavior, Better ImageYears ago, a Taiwan author Bo Yang wrote a book on the behaviors of Chinese people, which is called “The Ugly Chinese ”

29、. In this controversial work, B and o Yangs brutal pen pointed straightly to the shortcomings of Chinese people: shallow insights and hence crude behaviors. Although his words are critical and serious, I believe his heart is warm in terms of the hope for an improvement and love for Chinese people. W

30、e do need to change. There is always a motivation. As Singapore, the garden city, has complained against Chinese individuals bad habits, we all feel ashamed. To set up a better image towards people all around the world, it is of vital importance to change, several principle measures should be taken.

31、Education should be in the first place. As a saying goes: Rome wasnt built in one day, which is true with the forming of good habits. When children start being educated, they should not only acquire academic knowledge but also learn how to behave properly in order to gain popularity. So teachers are

32、 responsible to guide to form better behavior. Its not easy for a person who has been taught to behave better and doing so for dozens of years to be ill-behaved when being abroad.In the second place, better habits should be advocated nationwide. The administrations should use media such as TV, internet
