The suggested title is: Car Accidents Declining in Chongqing City. Remember that your composition must be written according to the following outline:Rise
14、 and fall of the rate of car accidents as indicated by the graph; 2. Possible reason(s) for the decline of car accidents in the city; 3. Your predictions of what will happen.,Sample-1,According to the graph, we can see that the number of car accidents in Chongqing city fluctuated considerably during
15、 the year 2000. The first two months of 2000 showed an increasing trend, moving,from 22 accidents in January to 32 in March. Accidents decreased steadily over the following 3 months to only 26 incidents in June. The months of July and August saw a second sudden increase, numbering 33 and 39 accident
16、s respectively. After August the situation steadily improved, with accident numbers declining to a minimum of 16 in December.,These fluctuations can be explained by weather and road conditions. The increase in accidents evidenced in March can be attributed to the excessive rain that came in early sp
17、ring, making the roads muddy and slippery. The peak in accidents in August is related to the heat and humidity of the summer months, making drivers drowsy and impatient. Improved weather conditions and the completion of two new roads obviously improved traffic and driving conditions in the autumn an
18、d winter months, leading to the strong decline of accidents during that period.,Based on the information presented in this graph, I would expect the following year to have similar fluctuations in its numbers of accidents, in variation with the weather. However, I would also expect the overall number
19、 of accidents to be lower due to the existence of two new roads, therefore improving the traffic conditions all year round.,Sample-2,Cross-Campus Selective Courses,As is shown in the table, the number of students choosing cross-campus selective courses has experienced a sharp rise,during the four-ye
20、ar period from 2002 to 2005. Students selecting Law, finance and Business Administration doubled, with the number of students choosing Japanese enjoying a minor increase from 14 to 23.,Two reasons could account for it. First, university students are increasingly aware that they should strengthen the
21、ir competitive advantages. Secondly, with the job market growing tighter, more students choose some utilitarian courses so as to meet the demands of social development. However, there are problems in this aspect. For one thing, there is a long distance between the university offering selective courses and the Alma Mater. The tiring journey lays a heavy burden on students body, thus affects our study. For another, the selective courses are always in the form of lecture, which will hardly development students practical ability.,
