　　Portrayed in the above pie chart is a survey of college students’ purposes of traveling。 The number of students who take traveling as a chance to see beautiful scenes accounts for 37%， while students who would like to travel to relieve pressure from study take up 35 %。

　　There are several reasons behind the trend revealed in the above chart。 To begin with， as the present society is filled with fierce competition， most college students nowadays are under great pressure to stand out among others or to lunch a decent job after graduation。 Therefore， they tend to choose traveling as an outlet to relieve their stress。 Secondly， with the fast advancement of the living standards of Chinese families， traveling is increasingly affordable to most college students。 For this reason， students prefer to travel to see different views to enjoy themselves or to make some friends。
