The bar chart illustrates the the percentage/ratio/proportion in the exercise way of inhabitants in a certain city.Specifically,exercise alone accounts for 54.3% is the highest method among the ways .Following positions are exercise with friends and family members accounts for 47.7% and 23.9% ,respectively.However,exercise with group is the last option for citizens to choose which accounts for 15.8%. There are two fundamental factors involved in the phenomenon.First,with the development of the domestic economy,the awareness of self conscious is waken.Most people rather to care about their time and felling than sacrifice themself to follow others.Thus exercise alone which can totally obey themself is the popular approach and exercise with group which needs to consider other people’s schedule and prefer is chosen by fewer citizens.Second,there are intense pressure because of the fierce competition in the modern society.Exercise with others who are you familiar with like you friends and family can mitigate your anxious. To my understanding,no matter what methods you choose,it is advisable for people.However,exercise with others such as friends and family can help you keep this habit better.With other other reminder,it is much easier to stamp the first step.

I think social networking services are good for society because they are related to society deeply. I have two reasons. First, all most people use the Internet every day. How often do you use the internet? Actually, I use the internet every day and it is indispensable to me. For example, when I do my homework, I use the internet. When I want to know about world's news, I use the social media. As you know, there are many opportunities to use social networking, so it has a positive impact on human beings and society. Second, the economic effects of social networking services are very significant. In the past, the internet was not widespread, so it was not so important. However, there are many users in modern times, so social networking's effect is very huge. On the other hand, there are some bad effects. It is the effect of excessive use of the internet on the body something like that. However, I think that problem can be solved by changing one's self consciousness. There are some negative aspects, but more than that, it enriches our life. It makes not only our lives, but also our work and society comfortable. In other words, I can't imagine life without the internet. As a result, I think social networking services are good for society.

The bar chart illustrates the change in the number of the rural and urban’ s express deliver from 2018 to 2020.Specifically,the quantity of the urban’ s express deliver rose dramatically from 51 billion to 83 billion over the period from 2018 to 2020.In stark contrast,the rural ‘s express deliver increased slowly/gently from 12 billion to 30 billion during the same period/over the 3 years. The bar chart illustrates the change in the number of the rural and urban’ s express deliver from 2018 to 2020.Specifically,the number of the urban and rural’ s express deliver increased by 32 billion and 18 billion,respectively.It is clearly shows that the urban’ s express deliver rose faster than rural’ s. The primary reason lies in the phenomenon that economy development of the city is much better than country.First,most citizens’ s salary is more than country’s people.Thus,they have more money to shop online.Second,citizen’ s awareness of shopping online is in common in the modern society.Citizens are busy with work,so they prefer to choose online shipping to save time. Although,country ‘s economy develops slower than city’s.It still shows an upward trend.Chinese government has fund money to foster its development.Such as transport construction,manual factories.So country’s express deliver rose gently from 2018 to 2020. In my understanding,it is essential to pay attention to and take action on countryside’s economic growth.This will offer more job opportunity to rural area and mitigate the population of city.I deeply believe that if our government do our utmost,China will have a promising prospect.

Barcelona, in its tourist version, is kind of nightmare for the people who live in that city. Overcrowded with tourists visiting the main points of interest; air contamination from these gigantic cruise ships moored in the port; parts of the city transformed in a kind of modernist architecture theme park for the entertainment of large tourist groups; a lot of tourist apartments all over the place, and so on and so forth. Naturally, for shoppers, restaurant owners, hoteliers, and the rest of tourist businesses, all this must be all right! Or even more, I guess they think it’s the most similar to a golden paradise on earth. However, I would say it’s rather a fool’s paradise. Anyway, putting aside tourism as a somehow annoying issue, if you are a city type of person and you love enjoying its atmosphere, architecture, history, gastronomy, and what have you, Barcelona is an interesting place to visit and enjoy, that’s for sure.

My top three experiences while travelling consist of: 3: The efficiency of public transportation in Vienna. I live near Turin. Turin has only one subway line while the transportation by bus must be increased. Vienna has 7 subways lines that are always clean, in time and safe. 2: I always had the thought that the Austrians are quite cold but during my journeys in Vienna I experienced the opposite. I had the lucky to meet always people that were so kind, friendly and helpful. They also have respects the rules and public spaces (public space which are always clean). 1: the sensation of being home in that town and the love for the city (I experienced that feeling both in Vienna, Florence and Lucca).
