The bar chart shows three types of telephone calls made in the UK between 1995 and 2002, according to how many minutes they lasted in total. Local fixed line calls lasted 72 billion minutes in 1995, rising gradually to 90 billion in 1998. The following year, the number peaked at 91 billion. Thereafter, it gradually declined to 73 billion in 2002. National and international fixed line calls lasted 37 billion minutes in 1995. The figure then rose slowly to 50 billion in 1999. There was a bigger increase in 2000 to 57 billion followed by smaller rises to 60 billion and 61 billion in 2001 and 2002 respectively. Mobile calls lasted 3 billion minutes in 1995, increasing to 10 billion in 1998. Thereafter, the increases were larger, to 15 billion in 1999, 27 billion in 2000 and 38 billion in 2001. In 2002 there was another rise to 44 billion.
Overall, the number of minutes for local fixed line calls rose then fell and was always the highest. The number for national and international fixed line calls increased every year and was always the second highest, whilst the number for mobiles rose every year, especially after 1999, but was always the lowest. 大作文题目：
Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree? 范文：
参考译文1——无偿社区服务应该是强制性的
In this essay, I shall explain why I think that it is a good idea for secondary school students to do compulsory community service.
The main reason that I believe this is that it provides secondary school students with wider knowledge about, and experience of, their community and society in general. Some types of community service involve working with sick or disabled people, giving students the opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. Other kinds of community service give students the chance to work with children or work on projects to improve the community. All of these broaden horizons and demonstrate to students what their place in society is.
Another key advantage of community service for secondary school students is that it can provide them with some work experience. This is particularly true in some sectors, such as health care, but I think that community service generally provides people with a work ethic which will obviously be helpful throughout their lives. The fact that the work is unpaid might inspire some students

to continue with community service even when it is not a compulsory part of their secondary school curriculum.
In addition, many community services suffer from a lack of volunteers, so using secondary school students in this way provides enough people to meet this shortfall. The supply of students is very likely to continue as older students leave school but new ones enter, so the provision of these community services is almost guaranteed.
To conclude, I think having secondary school students do community service is an excellent idea.
参考译文2——无偿社区服务不应该是强制性的
In this essay, I shall explain why I think that unpaid community service should not be compulsory for high school students.
For me, the most important reason why community service should not be compulsory for high school students is that they should be focusing on other things. I think it is much more important for high school students to study academic subjects –like maths, languages, science and computing –that will help them to get into higher education and then get better jobs when they enter the workforce. This is the primary purpose of schools. Compulsory community service would be a distraction from this.
Of course, there are some students who would like to do community service and would find it useful in their future careers. They could do it during school hours if they wish. However, this does not mean that it should be compulsory for every student. In fact, making it compulsory could have negative effects if the students have to do work that they do not want to do or do not see the use in doing. Students who want to do community service can also easily find ways to it outside school hours, e. g. in the evenings, at the weekends or during the school holidays. To conclude, I strongly disagree with the idea that unpaid community service should be compulsory for high school students, but I think that community service is a good thing for society and should be available to high school students who want to do it.
