Sample Answer:
The bar charts provide some detailed information about importation and exportation between Australia and China.
In 1998, the value of Australia imports from China was 20 billion. Since then, it climbed smoothly and reached 40 billion at the end of this period. Similarly, there was also a marked increase in the value of exports to China. At the beginning, the figure for imports was 10 billion. The following six years had witnessed a rise of 20 billion. In 2004, the value of Australia exports to China was three times as much as that in 1998.
Between 2003 and 2004, there was a striking difference in the value of five types of goods that were imported from China to Australia. The years of 2003 and 2004 saw the same value of clothes, which were 4 billion. The figures for computers and furniture were also the same, with 5 billion in 2003 and 6 billion in 2004 respectively. As to toys or sports equipment and computers, the value increased dramatically from approximately 2 billion to 8 billion.
Overall, the value of Australia imports outnumbered that of the exports during this period, and the value of toys or sports equipment imported from China rose the most remarkably from 2003 to 2004.

Sample Answer:
Nowadays, people’s choice of jobs has drawn more attention. Some people would rather to be unemployed if they are not satisfied with their jobs. My view is that employees should take financial factors into account before deciding to resign.
Obviously, an unsatisfactory job has a negative effect on the working efficiency of enterprises for the reason that employees who don’t enjoy their jobs will probably not be able to devote themselves to their work. When these employees are confronted with an overwhelming number of tasks, there exits a possibility that they would choose to give up rather than take responsibilities and accomplish all the tasks positively. If a large number of such employees are recruited, the morale in the workplace is likely to be influenced and the employers are bound to have difficulty in developing the company sustainably and successfully.
In addition, people’s attitudes towards life depend on many factors, including their job satisfaction. Apart from being employed in a company, people still have a lot of options. One choice for many people is to operate their own businesses. It is true that some new business models such as E-commerce and franchising have provided many unprecedented opportunities for self-employment. Therefore, it is not a wise choice for employees to accept the jobs they don’t enjoy.
However, it is undeniable that unemployment is believed to threaten social instability. This is because a decent income people obtain can ensure the life quality. If they are unemployed for a long time, they may face numerous problems caused by economic crisis.
In conclusion, the unwise persistence in the jobs people don’t like is meaningless to the development of both individuals and enterprises, although a decent job can guarantee the quality of people’s life.
