范文：
    The way people spend their holidays changed a lot from 1998 to 2008.
The table shows that a greater number of people spent their holidays traveling abroad in 2008. The rate of 2008 (22%) doubled that of 1998 (11%). We are sure that the number will increase because with their incomes rising, more people can afford the journeys abroad.
    At the same time, the seaside attracted a lot of people. However, the rate slightly dropped from 38% in 1998 to 31% in 2008, the reason for which lies in the fact that sea water is being polluted. The polluted seaside is likely to drive more visitors away.
    The year 2008 saw a sharp increase in the number of people who went climbing and camping. The rate in 2008 (34%) was more than three times that in 1998 (11%). The reason is that more and more people are eager to get close to nature.
