2010 Section IV Writing
Part A
Dear Joe,
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your warm hospitality when I participated in an exchange program in USA.
Your generosity helped to make my stay in USA a memorable memory and gave me a good chance to know American culture better. Besides, I think it is really an honor for me to make friends with you and I will cherish the friendship forever. I do hope that you will come to China one day, so that I could have the opportunity to repay your kindness and refresh our friendship.
Please allow me to give my sincere appreciation to you again. And wish to see you in China soon.
Sincerely yours,
Zhang Wei

This bar chart shows mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries and developed countries, measured in billions, for the year of 2000 to 2008.The mobile phone subscriptions in both developing countries and developed countries enjoyed increase in different speed over time. In this chart, the mobile phone subscriptions in developed countries maintained a continual and steady increase from 2000 to 2007 and remained constant in 2008.Meanwhile, the mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries have undergone a slow increase from 2000 to 2004 and then saw a great surge from 2005 to 2007.This trend increased to a peak about 4 billion in 2008.
Based on different national situations, the reasons leading to this trend can be summarized into two points. First, the developed countries have a limited number of population, which decides that the demand for mobile phone service is also limited and will soon be saturated. Second, as for the developing countries, it has a large population and also a large demand for mobile phone service. And as the mobile phone becomes more available and more affordable, there is an increasing number of people buying their mobile phones.
In my view, this trend that the number of mobile phone subscription continues to grow in developing countries will be constant for a while in the future. And this trend would also benefit most of the mobile users both in the developing countries and developed countries.t the current trend will continue for a while in the near future.
