　　College Students Consumption

　　In what way do college students spend their money? On this issue, the above chart tells us a lot.

　　We know from the chart that money for food and daily commodities, with 34% of the total spending, occupies the largest part of college students consumption. It is really true that food is the first necessity of man.

　　Another 16% goes for entertainment and 8% for traveling, which shows that the life of college students is getting more and more colorful. They know not only how to study but also how to relax as well as enjoy their life.

　　12% for clothing tells us that college students pay much attention to their appearance and are eager to keep up with the fashion. And there is no denying that the clothing of the college students really helps them show their vitality and personality.

　　However, 17% for mobile phone fee while only 13% for study provides no reason for us to be optimistic. Of course, we can understand that mobile phones give us a lot of convenience and help us get in touch with each other easily. But money on mobile phone fee seems a little too much.

　　In conclusion, we can learn to certain degree the status and trend of college students consumption from the chart. Basically, their consumption is reasonable and realistic. But some instructions on their consumption are still needed. As our society is developing, the way college students spend their money will be further varied.
