中国60岁以上人口占总人口比例示意图

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.

全球电子商务成交额统计图(Unit:$billion)

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.

你是否想过采取行动节约粮食?

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 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.
