2015年的的作文考察的是饼形图，不少考生对饼形图略微陌生。其实，考题中的图表形式虽然有差异，但本质上数据统计主要是两种形式：1）相同事物写变化；2）不同事物写对比排序。
例如，本题虽然是饼形图，但题目中的数据可以转化成柱状图、表格等均可。因此，建议考生复习巩固阶段，不要局限于图表形式，而应关注图表中的数据本质。
本题汉语信息明确，因此不存在读不懂题目而导致跑题的可能性。
Given is a pie chart which clearly illustrates the striking contrasts in the expense of residents during Spring Festival in a certain city of China. The expense on new-year gifts are the largest proportion, which accounts for 40%, followed by transportation and gathering dinners, with the same 20%, and finally come the total of other expenses, at 20%.
Such a scenario can be naturally associated with the importance of Spring Festival in China. Then, what results in the differences above? For one thing, traditional Spring Festival celebrations are best characterized by the fact that it is an occasion for family members, relatives and friends to send gifts for each other and express wishes, which enables gifts to be the largest part of expense. A case in point is that a host of parents will give lucky money, as gifts, to kids. For another, compared with before, more youngsters do not work or study in their hometowns, but they will go back home to celebrate Spring Festival with parents and friends; therefore, a sum of money is spent on transport and dinners.
Accordingly, I deem that it is significant for Chinese to preserve traditional ways of celebrating this festival, like giving presents or gatherings. Whether the proportion of each section is rational or not, it is essential for people to enjoy the joyful atmosphere of New Year.
所给是一幅柱状图，清晰展示了中国某城市居民春节消费方面的对比。新年礼物是最大的比重，达到了40%，紧随其后的是交通和聚餐，都占了20%；最后出现的是其他所有花费的综合，20%。
这样的场景能自然联系到春节在中国的重要性。那么，什么导致了上文的差异。一方面，传统的新春庆祝典型特点在于它是一个家人、亲戚和朋友之间相互赠送礼物表达祝福的时刻。这使得礼物成为最大的花费板块。典型例子是很多家长给孩子准备压岁钱。此外，与以前相比，更多年轻人不在家乡求学或工作，但是他们回家跟父母和朋友一起过年。因此， 一部分钱花在交通和餐费上。
因此，我认为中国人保持传统的庆祝方式很有重要，例如送礼物或聚会。无论每个部分的花销是否理性，重要的是人们享受了春节的喜庆氛围。
