In the past five years, there have been great changes in peoples daily expenses in XX city. According to the figures given in the table, the amount of money spent on food decreased gradually, accounting for 35 per cent in 1998. However, there was a rapid increase in clothing expenses, which made up 17% in 1998. In addition, the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The same was the case with other expenses.
What caused these remarkable changes? In my opinion, there are at least three good reasons. To begin with, with the rapid development of agriculture in China, the output of grain, fruit, vegetables, and milk has sharply increased, which contributes to the decline in their prices. Secondly, the family incomes of people both in the city and in the country have greatly risen so that people now can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in the latest fashion. Finally, as the living conditions improve, the demand for a variety of recreations is growing steadily, too.
In short, with the incomes rising continuously, people are no longer reconciled to living a simple, monotonous life. They are eager to make their life interesting and exciting. Therefore, I am sure that people will spend more money on clothing and recreations.
在过去的五年里，人们的日常开支发生了很大变化。根据表中所给出的数字，在食品中所花费的钱逐渐减少，占1998，占35。然而，服装开支迅速增加，其中1998人占17%。此外，该表显示了一个向上的趋势，在娱乐费用。与其他费用的情况相同。是什么引起了这些显著的变化？在我看来，至少有三个好理由。首先，随着我国农业的快速发展，粮食、水果、蔬菜和牛奶的产量急剧增加，导致了价格的下降。第二，城市和国家的家庭收入大大增加，使人们现在可以买昂贵的衣服，有些人甚至想穿最新的时装。最后，随着生活条件的改善，对各种娱乐的需求稳步增长，太。
总之，随着收入的不断增加，人们不再甘心过一种简单、单调的生活。他们渴望使他们的生活有趣和令人兴奋的。因此，我相信人们会花更多的钱在服装和娱乐。
