It should be noted here that at is used in the following small prepositions, such as: inflation finally tends to be flat around 1 1% in one month.

In the future, we can also use this to say which goods are popular, or which places are tourist attractions. For example, girls vote with wallets to make lipstick the most popular cosmetic.
? ? No wonder. ? There are 5.5 billion people in the world, and almost 4 billion people have smart phones. The popularity of smart phones is self-evident. So the second sentence is no wonder.
