In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn't win the contest again? That's the strange thing about being a parent—many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.

Several years ago, a former Saudi oil minister issued what has since become an oft-quoted prophecy: "The Stone Age did not end for lack of stone, and the Oil Age will end long before the world runs out of oil." It was a lament, an acknowledgement that a day of reckoning was coming that would change the global balance of wealth and power.

Changes in Modes of Transport to and from Work in a European City
The graph illustrates the changes in transport modes for commuting in one European city over three decades (1950, 1970 and 1990).
In 1950, buses were the most popular choice, accounting for the largest proportion of commuters. Walking and biking were also common, while car usage was relatively low. By 1970, car use increased significantly, surpassing biking, and bus ridership began to decline. In 1990, cars became the dominant transport mode, with a sharp rise in their proportion, while bus use continued to fall, and walking and biking rates dropped to the lowest level.
Several factors contributed to these changes. First, economic growth made cars more affordable for ordinary families. Second, urban expansion increased commuting distances, making cars more convenient than walking or biking. Finally, the development of road infrastructure supported the widespread use of cars. Meanwhile, insufficient investment in public transport may have led to the decline in bus ridership.
- 结构:遵循 “描述图表 — 分析变化 — 说明原因” 的逻辑,层次清晰,符合 150 词要求;
