The past years have witnessed a mounting number of Chinese scholars returning from overseas. As is lively illustrated by the column chart, the number of returnees climbed from a mere 69.3 thousand in 2008 to over 272.9 thousand in 2012, at an annual increase rate of around 50%.
A multitude of factors may have led to the tendency revealed by the chart, but the following are the critical ones from my perspective. First and foremost, along with the development of Chinese economy and society, the number of Chinese studying abroad has been soaring in the past years, which has provided an expanding base for the number of returnees. In the second place, the government has enacted a series of preferential policies to attract overseas Chinese scholars back home. Last but not least, the booming economy, science and technology in this country have generated more attractive job opportunities for scholars returning from overseas.
The waves of returnees will definitely contribute to this nation's development, since they have brought back not only advanced science and technology but also pioneering concepts of education and management. With more scholars coming back from overseas, and with the concerted efforts of the whole nation, we have reasons to expect a faster rejuvenation of this country.

The line chart depicts that the percentage of those aged over 60 increased moderately from 6% of the total population in 1990 to 15% in 2010 in China. It is predicted that the proportion will amount to 25% in 2020 and 30% in 2040.
Quite a few factors can account for this phenomenon, but the following might be the critical ones: for one thing, with the implementation of China's family planning policy and the improvement of people's living standard, fewer and fewer people are willing to have more children. Therefore, the birth rate has dramatically dropped, which results in a low proportion of youngsters and a higher proportion of elders. For another, due to the fact that more hospitals are equipped with advanced medical instruments and more professional staffs, many incurable diseases now can be easily cured. As a result, the public can enjoy an increased life span, adding to the growing proportion of old people.
The aging of the population is also a result of social progress and economic development. However, this phenomenon will be likely to bring about some undesirable consequences in the future. Hence it is high time that we figured out some ways to face the up-coming challenges.

As is exhibited by the bar chart，the proportion of the students having psychological problems experienced dramatic changes. To be specific, there had been a steady ascendance from roughly 3.5% in 2005 to approximately 8.5% in 2011，which was accompanied by the amazing increase in 2014，surging to above 14%.
There are numerous reasons accounting for the phenomenon. The first is that people in the modern world are being confronted with great pressure from work and life. Being depressed for a long time, people will face some problems in mental health, which will pose a severe threat to them and have a negative influence on their daily life and work. To be a healthy person, mental health seems to be more important. Besides, from the social perspective, with all citizens being in good health, a society will have better work force with higher efficiency and will be able to harvest more fruits produced by its people.
Accordingly, we should first be open with people. Talk with your family and your friends when you meet some difficulties. Secondly, we should be sympathetic. Since we are a part of a society, we ought to be concerned with it. With the combination of these efforts，the pressure of psychology can be eliminated gradually.

The chart shows the result of an investigation on the question whether you have ever thought to take actions to save food. As can be seen from the data, 27 percent people have never had any idea about this issue, while near 50 percent people only have awareness, but never have they taken any actions. Sadly, those having awareness of saving food and also taking measures to do this only accounts for 25%.
This phenomenon can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, not only in food issue, but also in electricity and energy. Many people are used to doing everything with the television on, not actually watching it at all. Such a habit can cause waste of much electricity and energy, and result in the emission of carbon. This deviates from the popular concept of "low carbon life"-to reduce the emission of carbon, especially carbon dioxide, to protect our environment and realize sustainable development. According to statistics, if we can decrease the time for having the television on by one hour each day, we can deduce the amount of carbon emission by 4.71 kilogram each month.
To serve as responsible stewards of the planet, we must promote and popularize a low carbon life among the public from every detail in our daily life. We must change the past practice of sacrificing long-term environmental health for short-term rapid economic development, and shift to developing green economy, circular economy and low carbon economy. All these effective measures can help us to reach harmony between development of the society and health of the nature.

The chart above shows the change of ways of shopping from 2000 to 2010. As can be seen from the above chart, from 2000 to 2010, the rate of online shopping kept on increasing, from 31.6% to 52.3%, while the traditional shopping fell dramatically from 75.3% to 43.2% occasionally. From then on, both the rate of online shopping and the rate of traditional shopping increased.
It is no difficult job for us to come up with some possible factors that underlie the above changes. In the first place, with the development of our economy, people have changed their lifestyles. They did not regard traditional shopping as a good thing. Therefore, the rate of traditional shopping had begun to fall down since 2000. In the second place, with the improvement of both living standards of people and the technique of Internet, people can enjoy shopping online. Thus the rate of traditional shopping had also begun to fall down since 2000 as shown in the chart.
From what has been discussed so far, it can be predicted that the present situation will continue for quite a while in the near future. People will have fewer and fewer traditional shopping, and they will enjoy more and more online shopping.

The above bar chart shows the results of a report concerning the ideal career standards of most university students. Based on the data offered, steadiness, high salary and comfortable environment are highly acclaimed by students. What is reflected in the chart is most thought-provoking and worth discussing among the general public for the time being.
The contributing factors responsible for this phenomenon can be summarized as follows. To begin with, the spirit of challenge is missing among most university students. As is indicated in the chart above, the majority of students regard steadiness as their top ideal career standard. The very fact shows that now most university students lack the confidence and courage to face hardships and difficulties in terms of work. What's more, most students are money-oriented and self-centered. Therefore, high income and comfortable environment are viewed as the most important factors in terms of their standards, which indicates most people lack the spirit of serving the people and rewarding the society. In short, the employment ideal of university students needs to be adjusted.
In my view, some necessary measures should be taken to establish new ideal occupation standards among university students. For one thing, a widespread education campaign must be launched to popularize correct employment concepts. For another, a healthy social environment should be created so as to guide the development of students' mind. Only in these ways can university students find their ideal jobs in our harmonious society.

As can be seen from the above charts, the living standards of farmers in China have improved greatly since 1995, that is, their per capita income is predicted to reach 3500 yuan in 2015, from only 500 yuan per capita in 1995. Meanwhile their per capita consumption will double in 2015 compared with that in two decades ago in 1995, accounting for less than one third of their income.
It is not difficult for us to point out some possible factors that underlie the above changes. In the first place, China began to carry out the reform and opening-up policy at the end of 1970s. Therefore, the per capita income of people, farmers included, increased by a big margin, as is shown in the chart. In the second place, the government has paid much more attention to agriculture development, and offers a lot of favorable policies to farmers. Thus, the farmers' well-being has become better and better through their hard work. And they can afford more things.
From what has been discussed so far, it can be predicted that the trend will continue for quite a while in the near future. So if we can keep the change going on as usual, a bright future will await us.

Emerging from the bar chart are the significant changes in the number of the private cars in a city during the period from 2013 to 2015. To be specific, the past three years has witnessed a steady increase in the number of the private cars from approximately 5 million to 5.5 million.
What has triggered this phenomenon? Firstly, with the fast development of economy, the living standard together with the income of citizens in this city has been greatly improved. Therefore, a considerable number of people can afford a car. Secondly, the car industry, especially the self-owned brand ones in recently years, has experienced a rapid advancement, which has led to the decrease of the price of private cars. Last but not the least, individuals show more concern about the faster and more convenient way of traveling.
By observing the past trends, we may forecast that the growth tendency will continue. However, the inevitable impact or consequence that the rise of private cars number brings, such as the traffic pressure and increasingly serious air pollution, should also be attached greater importance to.

From the chart given above, we can learn that the turnover of global E-commerce experienced great changes during the past decade. From 2005 to 2014, it went up dramatically from 100 billion to 1000 billion dollars, increasing by 9 times.
The chart reveals a fact that the global E-commerce industry enjoys an explosive growth. There are a large number of reasons that can be listed to account for this phenomenon, and the following ones might be the most critical: for one thing, the government in different countries have issued some preferential policies to protect and encourage the development of E-commerce, thus quite a few online-transaction websites emerge overnight. Moreover, the one-click-payment consumption model has been widely accepted among the public thanks to the widespread availability of the Internet. Last but not least, people's decision to purchase on-line also has the power of so-called "group-dynamics": when people around us are shopping at network, we will be influenced by them and imitate their behaviors unconsciously.
The rapid development of E-commerce shows that new business methods contribute dramatically to the sustainable development of the global economy. However, when enjoying the accomplishment of modern technology, we should also keep an alert eye on the underlying threat in it, with deception and fraud sometimes emerging in a world of open boundary.
