Last month, city officials ___________________ ( 496 市民)to find out people's attitudes to using shared bikes and the reasons . Here are the results. As the diagram shows, ____________ ( 70%) of those who took part in the survey have used shared bikes while ________________ (不到三分之一)(30%) haven’t.
As high as 96% of those who have used shared bikes thought it was convenient to use one. Nearly 70% thought it was cheap to use shared bikes. Only less than 20% thought using shared bikes was good for reducing pollution. Slightly over 30% thought it was a good form of exercise.
To sum up, more than two thirds of those who took part ever used shared bikes, either because of its convenience (convenient) or because of being ( be ) cheap. However, among those who did not use shared bikes, a majority (major) thought they were not safe. This indicates that it is necessary (necessity) for the city government to strengthen (strong) road safety management.The design of shared bikes should pay more attention to its safety (safe) .
Step 5:Homework
你是李华,上周你参加了学校以“你看到饭菜倒掉的感觉如何?”为题举办的调查活动,有200位学生参加了此次调查,请根据所提供的调查数据写一篇调查报告向校英文报投稿。
注意:
1. 词数100左右;
2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯
Last week, a survey involving 200 students was carried out in our school on “How do you feel when seeing food being thrown away ” The results are as follows.
The survey shows that 11% of the students don’t pay any attention to food waste. About the same percentage of students feel it’s none of their business when they see someone throwing the food away. 79% of the surveyed students consider it a pity to waste any food.
In my opinion, we students should be more careful when choosing what to eat and how much we can eat. Only in this way can we reduce food waste.
