　　Topic 4: Changes in the ownership of houses in China
        　　From the bar char given above, we can observe that the ownership of houses in China experienced some changes during the past several years. The proportion of state-owned houses decreased sharply by almost 50% from 70% in 1950’ to 20% in 1990’. On the contrary, during the same period, the percentage of private houses increased rapidly from 30% to 80%.
        　　The bar chart reveals that there exists an opposite trend in the development of state-owned and private houses ownership. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to the development of private houses industry. Additionally, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, citizens in mounting numbers can afford to buy private houses which were deemed expensive. Last but not least, people’s decision to buy a house can also be ascribed to the power of so-called “group dynamics”: when members of our social networks own their private house one after another, we unconsciously imitate them , of course, if we have enough money.
        　　The continual growth of private houses is a symbol of the improvement of people’s living standard. However, the authorities should also place a value on the restriction of houses’ price. Otherwise, it will one day be a obstacle of the rapid and sound development of economy. (224words)
