Sample Answer:
The table compares changes in the number of cars manufactured in three different countries, namely, Argentina, Australia and Thailand in the years 2003, 2006 and 2009.
It is noticeable that the figure for Argentina increased considerably over 6-year period, whereas a significant fall in car output can be seen in Australia. Overall, Thailand had by far the largest number of vehicles in all three years.
In 2003, over 160,000 automobiles were manufactured in Argentina, and this figure rose to more than 510 thousand in 2009, an increase of 350,000. By contrast, although Australia produced the second largest number of vehicles (approximately 530,000) among three countries in the year 2003, the figures were the lowest in 2006 and 2009, with 345,000 and 225,000 respectively.
On the other hand, Thailand is a main producer in terms of car manufacturing. Nearly 80,000 cars were sold in the market, and this figure reached its peak in 2006, at approximately 120,000, but decreased slightly afterwards (below 100 thousand).

分析：
文章算新题，扣题最大的陷阱在于：development of society, 有些同学不管society，单单只写了对于个人的好处或者坏处，那就没有完全扣题，会进行一定程度的扣分。

原因：一是经济的发展使人们有条件独居，二是人们对于自由，独立的个人生活有向往。
影响，列举两个好的方面：
一是对环境有好处。二是促进经济发展。

It is true that a growing number of people, especially those living in metropolitan areas, choose to be solo dwellers these days. In this essay, I will anaylse the potential driving forces of this phenomenon and discuss its bright side towards society.
There are two main reasons why more people live alone than ever before. The first main factor is the wealth generated by economic development enables people to afford daily expenses, such as housing, bills and medical care. However, in the past, people were more dependent on each other. For example, young adults might continue living with their parents even though they had found jobs. In addition to economic prosperity, the rise stems from the pursuit of the individual. For instance, many students choose to go abroad for further study and live on their own instead of attending local universities because those young solitaries reframe living alone as a mark of success.
In my opinion, the rise of living alone has yielded significant social benefits. One advantage is that solos tend to live in small apartments rather than in big houses. This means they are likely to live in relatively green cities rather than in car-dependent suburbs. In the long run, people living alone in cities may consume less energy and produce less pollution. Also, since they may experience loneliness, anxiousness and fears sometimes, they may spend more time on their work and tasks, which can greatly improve work efficiency and boost the economy.
In conclusion, although living alone is still in its earliest stage, I believe this social transformation brings us more opportunities than problems.
