小作文（旧题）：The graph shows that the tourist from various  countries in New Zealand use different transport to travel. (air, coach, car, ferry)

范文

The histogram  demonstrates how the travelers from the five nations tour in New Zealand by  the four transportation modes.

European countries  seem to share the same pattern. Both British and Germans prefer car above  all, and then ferry, air and coach in order. More than 60% British would like  to travel by car while that figure for Germans is about 48%. The least  popular transportation means is coach, with only 18% advocates in both  countries.

In contrast, Asians  differ greatly, though Japanese, Koreans, and Australians profess a similar  violent distaste for ferry with under 10% passengers in the three countries. While  as many as 60% Japanese favor airplane as the transportation mode, only 28%  Koreans and Australians would follow the example. Land transportation reveals  a mixed picture, with coach accepted by 60% Japanese but below 10%  Australians, and with car picked by under one third of the former but half of  the latter.

In sum, car is the  most favorite means while ferry appears to be the least supported one,  especially by the three Asian countries.

Some people believe that the charity organizations should give aid  to those in greatest need, wherever they live. Some people believe that the  charity organizations should concentrate on helping people who live in own  country instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

范文

It is highly disputable whether the objects of the remedy measures  of philanthropic groups should be the destitute at home or the refugees  abroad. As far as I am concerned, the answer relies on where the charities  are.

Philanthropic organizations of developed countries should reach out  to the foreign penurious. To assist those in need is to help the almsgivers  themselves, since globalization makes nations closely bonded and much more  interactive than ever before. Bluetongue, for example, initially found in  South Africa, later attacked European countries such as Netherlands, Brazil,  France and Germany. Timely provisions by charities to South Africa the  medical donations and personnel might have controlled the spread of  infections and prevented consequent tragedies.

Another reason for the charities of the first world to do so is that  the laggard regions need more than money. Only with the support from within,  backward countries can barely deal with issues concerning education and  technology. Well-educated Western pedagogues and advanced textbooks sent by  charitable organizations could break the educational vicious circle in  underdeveloped countries. What’s more, the introduction of high-tech products  such as LED will enable those poverty-stricken areas to foster economy  effectively and efficiently.

In contrast, for philanthropists in impoverished countries,  priorities should be given to recipients of their own regions. It is utopian  to look after the penniless around the world, because the budget is limited,  and there are simply too many issues to be resolved. Currently, to provide  for itself is what can be expected most from the third world, let alone  worrying about those better off.

In conclusion, charitable organizations of affluent societies should  extend their financial wealth and technological advantage to poverty-stricken  areas while those of impecunious communities should focus on improving their  own performances.
