Annual Expenses on Learning English
The pie charts show us the proportion comparison of English materials purchase made by the college students in X city in the early 90s and in 2003. In 2003 there are more new choices for the students to spend money on, like Internet, CDVCD, and tapes. In the early 90s there were only tapes and reference books. At the same time, the other graph shows that the average outgoings on English materials have increased from 60 yuan in the early 90s to 170 yuan in 2003. From these two graphs, we have learned that there are more choices of materials in learning English and students spend more money on English learning.
Some reasons can explain this trend. First, many students realize the importance of learning English. English is widely used all over the world. It has become an important international language. Second, since China entered WTO, learning English has become more popular. It is difficult to find a decent job without fluent English communicating skills. Third, as science and technology have been developing so fast, these latest English learning facilities have already been proved far more useful and effective than the books.
In my opinion, this growing trend might be different in the future. Nowadays most pupils begin to learn English. One day in the future college students don t need to spend so much in learning English. Their English will be as fluent as those native speakers.
