Several reasons can account for this phenomenon. Compared with a film, TV is much cheaper and more convenient—you don’t have to leave your house at all. Apart from that, you have many choices while watching TV, but a film concentrates on a certain topic. However, there are still a number of people who enjoy going to the cinema, generally for two reasons. On the one hand, the audio-visual effect of a cinema is much better. On the other hand, in a quiet and comfortable place such as a cinema, you can concentrate on what you are watching and get the most of the film. 【结构点评】本文第一段虽然只用一句话来描述图表，却涵盖了两个方面。句中使用while来凸显对比，为下文的原因解释作了铺垫。第二段在简明扼要的起始句之后，分两个方面来描述原因。第三段紧扣提纲的第三点，写了人们喜欢看电影的两点理由。 B. 范文Software Use in a Certain Region During the period between 1998 and 2002, pirated software users declined abruptly from 3,000 to 1,000, while authorized users increased sharply from 2,000 to more than 8,000. Several reasons can account for this phenomenon. Compared with pirated software, authorized software can guarantee both high quality and good after-sale service. Apart from that, authorized software are becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford them as a result. However, there are still a number of people who buy pirated software, generally for two reasons. On the one hand, they take it for granted that pirated products are cheaper than authorized ones. On the other hand, they don’t realize that their behavior will do great harm to the whole software industry and national economy.
