The table shows that the income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students.In China,85%of students'money is from their parents while in America only 40%ofstudents'money is provided by their parents.Chinese students earn only 5%from part-timc jobs and 5%from student loan.However,American students got 20%and 25%of their money from these two sources respectively.In addition,fellowship or scholarship takes up 15%of American students'income while income from this source for Chinese students occupies only 5%.There are probably two reasons contributing to the differences.First,in China,students without sustainable income are still considered dependent on parents.Therefore,it is natural for them to ask their parents for money.By contrast,American students over 18 years have developed more senses of financial independence.Second,since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easier for American students to find part-time jobs.Therefore,a larger proportion of income comes from part-time job in America.I believe in future,more Chinese students will realize the necessity of self-dependence and try to make their own Iiving through part-timejobs and other ways.
