　　As is depicted by the pie chart, the author is trying to show factors regarding consumers’ choices of restaurants in a certain city. According to the data reflected in the chart, it is not hard to see that specialty can be the most important factor to choose a restaurant for consumers, which takes up 36.38%. While other factors including service, environment and price account for 26.8%, 23.8% and 8.4% respectively. These statistics reflect a thought-provoking phenomenon.

　　There are two reasons accounting for the current situation reflected by the chart above. The most important factor we should take into consideration is the rapid economic development and the increase of purchasing power, which can explain the reason why the price takes up the smallest proportion in these factors when it comes to consumers’ choices of restaurants. Moreover, there is no deny in saying that an increasing number of people are paying closer attention to the new taste and fresh feeling which lead to the result that a large group of people choose restaurants according to specialty they can offer.

　　Based on the analysis made above, it is safe to say that there is a tendency for people to choose restaurants with presented specialty in the coming years. On the contrary, people will continue to pay increasingly less attention to prices.
