范文：
The bar chart gives information of the amount of aid provided by six developed countries for developing nations from 2008 to 2010.
Through the period, USA provided the largest amount of financial subsidy for the third world. While the amount dropped slightly from approximately $18.5 million to $17 million during the first year, it soared to over 25 million dollars in 2010.
Occupying the middle positions, the fund offered by UK, Germany and Japan also showed insignificant fluctuations. While the amount from UK waved within a range from $8 million to $10 million, those from Germany and Japan vibrated between $6 million and $7 million.
Netherland and Sweden supplied the lowest amount of aid among the listed countries, but they showed opposite trends in these three consecutive years. The amount from Netherland smoothly fell from $5 million to near $4.5 million, whereas the figure from Sweden rose from $5 million to $7million.
Overall, the amounts of financial aid offered by the six developed countries changed during the three-year period. While American provided the largest amount of subsidy, other countries contributed less to the third world.
备考建议：动态柱图的顺序有两种选择，按照图例顺序或者横坐标顺序，两者都可。在这道题中，横坐标的顺序有更明显的特征。剑桥的类似题目有剑3test 3。

范文：
Violence and crime is a headache issue in many countries, and how to maintain a safe environment has always been a public concern. Some argue for police taking guns on duty, which is attacked by the potential escalation of violence. I think this discussion should take into consideration an important factor whether individuals are allowed to possess guns.
In some countries, guns are forbidden from private possession, which makes police armed with guns unnecessary. In these countries, street crimes such as theft and robbery tend to be less violent and professionally trained police are able to deal with those thieves and robbers without fatal weapons. If police are equipped with guns, the potential criminals tend to strengthen their own equipment to protect themselves and ensure a crime done, which can result in escalated violence and an arms race as well. In addition, carrying guns, police force on patrol would be prone to resort to their guns to perform their tasks more efficiently, therefore leading to more violent scenes.
On the other hand, in some countries where guns are seen as a legal possession for ordinary people to protect their private properties and rights, police force have no option but being armed with lethal weapons to confront those severe riots. In such circumstance, empty-handed police would be in a disadvantaged position where they are unable to perform their duty of curbing crime and securing their society. It can be said that it is not the police carrying guns but the ordinary people carrying guns that upgrade violence. In addition, even in the countries where guns are illegal, police should be carrying guns when conducting a task where danger is expected.
Based on the above analysis, whether police should be carrying guns on duty depends on whether guns are widely owned in the community and whether the tasks performed are dangerous. In case of danger, police should carry guns.
