According to the data given in the table, we can see that on the whole the number of traffic accidents was on the rise.

Considering the seriousness of the traffic problem, it is high time for us to take effective measures to solve it. First, stricter laws and regulations should be made to punish those who don’t comply with traffic regulations. In addition, drivers and pedestrians should be educated to be more self-conscious to follow the traffic regulations. Only in these ways will the number of traffic accidents fall obviously.

The chart above shows us a striking contrast of mobile-phone subscriptionsbetween developing countries and developed countries. From 2000 to 2008, the mobile-phone subscription number of developing countries increased dramatically, while that of developed countries only had a slight increase. In 2000, the mobile-phone subscriptions of developing countries and developed countries were close to each other. However, the subscription number of developing countries was nearly four times that of developed countries in 2008.

above-mentionedphenomenon, but in general, they may come down to three major ones. To begin with, with the rapid improvement of people’s living standards in developing countries, more and more people can afford a mobile phone, which has become a necessity in their life. What’s more, the mobile-phone service in developing countries is becoming cheaper and cheaper, making mobile phones become increasingly popular. What is also worth mentioning here is that the population of developing countries is far larger than that of developed countries, which means there is a greater demand for mobile phones in developing countries.
