Pie Chart

This pie chart shows the percentage of time I spend on activities on one day.The seven main activities,chief clean up, sleeping, working, reading, dining, studying at school, and commuting, make up 100% of total. A day is divided into 24 hours. From this chart we can see I spend most of the time at work(34%), it occupies most of my day-time. Subsequently, I averaged seven hours' sleep a day; it takes up 29% of my time. It is the second longest activity after work. These two part are over 5o% of my day, and school is lesser than that, it only takes 3.5 hours per week-day(15%). Time spent on dining and cleaning up are shorter than at school, with 10 % and 6 % respectively. A little time is spent on reading and traffic as well, at only 4% and 2%.

Paraphrase and Summarise

Five years ago a man took a pair into his local dry cleaners in Washington DC to get them altered for ten dollars. But the cleaners lost them. And now that man, Roy Pearson, who happens to be a judge, is suing.
The South Korean owners, offered him a thousand dollars to settle, later raising that to twelve-thousand dollars. But Mr Pearson wasn't satisfied. He claims he is owed sixty-seven million dollars. Much of this case rests on two signs which were on the dry cleaners' walls which said "satisfaction guaranteed" and "same day service." Mr Pearson says he didn't get either, so the signs amount to fraud.

But why sixty-seven-million dollars? He's claiming this is the sum of fines compounded daily, emotional damage, legal fees and car hire to get to another cleaners since the case began. This lawsuit might seem hard to believe and some Washington lawyers have described it as absurd, saying the case should be thrown out of court and Mr Pearson removed from office.

Besides, HSR is much cleaner and steadier than train, it runs every an hour. As to the train the running time is not that regular, You have to look at the timetable to know when you can take a train. THE price of a HSR ticket nearly double that of a train ticket. In addition, a HSR train just stops at a few platform, while a train go to many stop.
