The graph compares the amounts of money earned by four various cafes in New York
over the last year.
Overall, While the amounts of takings for Wi-Fi Café and Café Cool underwent
similar changes, increasing remarkably, the figure for The Tea Room witnessed a
dramatic fall over a year period. Another striking point is that despite earning the
highest amount of money at the start of the last year, the Tea Room finished the
period with the lowest income.
In January, the lowest amount of money, which was 30,000s dollars, was earned by
Café Cool, while the highest amount, just under 160,000s dollars, was achieved by
The Tea Room. Despite being the highest at the beginning, the figure for the Tea
Room had seen a dramatic decrease to around 50,000 dollars by the end of the period,
after fluctuating violently between 160,000 and 120,000 dollars for a half a dozen
months. By contrast, Café Cool saw a remarkable growth of 100,000 dollars from
20,000 to 120,000 dollars in its income, which saw a period of volatility for the first
six months, overtaking The Tea Room in December.
As regards two other Cafes, income for Wi-fi Cafes saw a significant increase from
50,000 to 80,000 dollars by June, whilst that for Internet express fell slightly by
around 20,000 dollars to just under 80,000. Then the figure made a nice recovery,
increasing to just over 130,000 dollars by the end of the period. Similarly, the takings
of Wi-fi cafés saw a sharp increase to 190,000 dollars by December, after a period of
fluctuation at around 80,000 and 100,000 dollars from June to September.
The line chart gives predictions about three world languages – English, Spanish and
Mandarin, comparing them in terms their popularity over a decade starting from
2020.
Overall, it is clear that the numbers of students learning all three languages in
question will see a dramatic increase from 2020 to 2030. Another important note is
that English will stay the most popular during the whole period.
In 2020, 100 million and 200 million students will be studying Mandarin and Spanish
respectively, while the much larger number of around 550 million students are
expected to pursue English language. The figure for English learners is predicted to
see an unstable increase, changing from 550 million to about 620 million by 2026. It
will then grow steadily until it has reached around 750 million by 2030. As for the
numbers of Spanish and Mandarin learners, they are also expected to rise
significantly from 200 million to exact 500 million and from 100 million to just under
600 million respectively by the end of the period, with Mandarin students
outnumbering Spanish students in 2026 and maintaining its position as the second
most popular language by 2030.
The line chart shows how many people were employed in three sectors of British
economy from 2010 to 2010.
Overall, the percentages of workers in public and Self-employed sectors increased
significantly over a span of ten years, while that of private sector employees fell
dramatically.
In 2000, The highest percentage of people worked in private sector. However, the
figure saw a sharp decrease of almost 30 %, plummeting from just under 50 % to 20
% percent by 2010.
By contrast, the proportions of Public and self-employed sector, which were just
under 40 % and 20% respectively in 2000, showed similar upward trends of over 10
% by the end of the period. The figure of public sector, from 2002 to 2005,
experienced a sharp growth from 38 % to just below 50 %, after staying stable for
two years. It then witnessed a slight increase, finishing the period at just above 50%.
The number of people who were self-employed remained fairly stable at around 20 %
at which point it saw a significant rise of 10 percent by 2010.
The line chart shows what percentages of households in Britain had access to four means of
technology over a 14-year period.
Overall, there were significant increases in the percentages of houses using the types of
technology such as CD players, DVD players, Mobile Phones and Internet connection since they
became available to the general public in the UK.
The figure for CD player starts the period from 1994/95 with around 45 per cent, while that
for DVD players starts from 2002/03 with 30 per cent. The number of homes with CD players
saw a sharp increase, doubling to 90% over time by 2005, at which point it remained almost
unchanged by 2008. Similarly, the percentage of houses with DVD players witnessed a dramatic
growth, tripling from 30 % to around 90 % and outnumbering CD player owners by 2008.
Turning to homes with Internet connection and mobile phones, the percentages saw similar
upward trends. The figure for mobile phones grew sharply by more than 60 %, going from 18% in
1996/97 to 80 % in 2008. The percentage of families with internet connection increased by the
same number, jumping from 8 % in 1998/99 to around 70 % in 2008.
Mobile phone and Internet connection saw a significant rise, with the former increasing
from 18 % to nearly 80% and the latter from 15% to almost 65% over the period
The diagram gives information about how many people traveled using three popular
airports in the UK over a five-year period starting from 1998. Overall, Gatwick was
more used airport than Stansted and Heathrow, experiencing the largest rise over the
whole period.
In 1998, the largest number of 36.5 million travelers chose Gatwick, while the least
number of 17.3 million passengers used Stansted, both seeing significant
improvements in the number of their passengers over the next years. The figure for
Gatwick increased significantly by the end of the period, almost doubling to 69.3
million in 2003, while that for Stansted saw a three-period of stability at 43.3 million
by 2003, after increasing by exact 26 million from 1998 to 2000.
The bar graph compares three different museums in terms of the number of visitors they had over
a period of five years.
Overall, the figures for National in China and MET in New York saw a significant rise over the
period in question, while Edo-Tokyo museum underwent a considerable decline in its number of
visitors. Another striking point is that, despite being the least popular museum in 2000, National
hit the all-time high point in 2005.
In 2000, National museum had over 6 million visitors, a half of what MET in New York had. The
figure increased steadily, reaching 11 million by 2003, at which point it remained stable over a
year and then rose dramatically to just below 16 million in 2005. By contrast, the number of
visitors to MET halved in 2001, remaining steady by 2002. It then made a remarkable recovery,
growing by 8 million by the end of the span.
Conversely, the museum of Edo in Tokyo declined in popularity over the period covered by the
graph. In 2000 and 2001, it was the most popular among the three museums with 13 million
visitors. The number then saw a sharp decline, falling to over 6 million in 2003. Although it made
a recovery, increasing by 4 million by 2005, EDO stayed the least visited museum in 2005.
The line chart compares the percentage of family in The UK in terms of the number of cars they
had between 1971 and 2007.
Overall, the percentage of car owners in The UK grew over the period in question, while the
proportion of families with no car declined.
The percentage of households owning one car fluctuated slightly at around 45 percent over the
period, remaining unchanged by 2007, while the figure for families without a car declined
sharply, almost halving from just under 50% in 1971 to 25% in 2007.
By contrast, the percentage of family who had two cars and three cars or more grew over the
period covered by the graph. The figure for households with two cars rose dramatically, tripling
from 8 % in 1971 to just over 24 % in 2007. The proportion of households with 3 or more cars, on
the other hand, increased by smaller number of 5 % by 2007.
The line chart compares three countries in terms of the number of elderly people living in these
countries between 1940 and 2040.
Overall, the proportion of elderly population in Japan, Sweden and USA has increased by the
present time and is likely to grow even more significantly by the end of the period, with the figure
for Japan rising at faster rate.
In 1940, the USA had the highest percentage of population aged 65 and above with around 9%, as
opposed to 5 % in Japan and 7 % in Sweden. However, by 2000, Sweden had outnumbered The
USA in this regard, with both reaching roughly 15%, while the figure for Japan had a minor
fluctuation, remaining stable at 5%.
Since then, they have all experienced a significant growth in the proportion of their elderly
people. By 2040, the figure for Japan is estimated to grow to about 28%, outrunning those for
Sweden and The USA, which will have reached to over 25% and 23 % respectively.
The line chart compares four means of transportation in terms of the number of trips taken by
public in Metropolis using these vehicles between 1985 and 2010.
Overall, although the use of private cars was the most common at the start of the period, it
underwent a slight drop, while the number of travels by other three types of transportation,
namely light rail, motorbike and bus saw a rise over the 25 years.
The most visible changes happened to the figures for bus and light rail. Whereas the bus usage
changes slightly from to 1985 to 2000, fluctuating at between 5 and 5.5 million trips, the use of
trains within the city boomed, skyrocketing from over 4.5 to 7.5 million trips during the same
span. However, the both figures experienced similar trend for the rest of the period, with trips
taken by buy going from 5.5 million to just over 7 million and travels by train from 7.5 million to
well over 8 million by 2010.
The trends for other two transports, meanwhile, did not witness significant changes over the
period in question. Even the though the both motorbike use and private car use rose negligibly for
the first five years, the trend for private cars wend down gradually, finishing the period at just 6
million trips, slightly fewer in comparison with 1985. In the meantime, motorbike use showed a
gradual incline, from 1995 onwards, despite the decline to almost 3 million trips by 1995, and
finished the period at just under 4 million.
The bar chart compares two bakeries in London in terms of the number of food items sold on a
typical Saturday in 2010.
Overall, Berne’s Buns made more sales than Lovely Loaves, with each selling a lot more
doughnuts than other items on a Saturday in 2010. Berne’s Buns was better than Lovely Loaves at
selling six out of nine food products namely doughnuts, cakes, cookies, rolls and chips.
With 120 in Lovely Loaves and around 135 in Berne’s Buns, doughnuts comes top of the list. The
next best selling item for Berne’s Buns is cookies sold just under 120 almost twice as many as
cookies sold in Lovely Loaves. Coming next on the list is cakes for Berne’s Buns, with just above
100 purchased as apposed to Lovely Loaves’ 75.
By contrast, Lovely Loaves made better job in some sales. It sold three times as many salads as
Berne’s Buns, at 62 and 19 in turn. With selling around 50, Lovely Loaves also exceeded Berne’s
Buns in loaves sale who sold only 40.
The bar charts compare local primary schools in Wales in terms of the number of boys and girls in
these schools in 2008 and their exam results in six subjects in 2003.
Overall, the highest number of students attended St James school in 2008, while the lowest
number of pupils went to Bising school. the larger proportion of students did well in three subjects
Math, English and science compared to the rest of the subjects History, Geography and Art.
In 2008, St James school had the largest number of 200 students, with equal number of boys and
girls, while Bising school had the lowest number of 80 students, with half of them being opposite
gender. By contrast, the number of female and male students vary in other two schools. Twice as
many boys attended to Percival school as girls, at 80 and 40 respectively as apposed to Roysters
schools which had the total number of 140 students, with 60 of them being boys.
As for exam grades, the total number students who passed Maths exams, with 70 million boys and
65 million girls, was higher than the that number of students who did well in English exams, with
55 million male and just over 61 million female students. The figure for science was similar to
that of English, with only the opposite being true in terms of gender. In other three subjects History, Geography and Art-, the sum of students were higher than 75 million, with more girls
than boys.
The bar chart compares three major reasons – tree-cutting, breeding and farming – why lands in
four continents were damaged.
Overall, there are more damaged areas in Africa and Asia than in Australia and Europe. Another
interesting point is that the most land in Africa and Australia is spoiled because of breeding while
that in Asia is ruined due to tree-cutting.
Almost the equal amount of land is damaged in Afrika and Asia because of the three reasons in
question. The amount of area in Africa damaged by tree-cutting accounts for almost 380 million
hectares while that in Asia is 450 million hectares, 70 million hectares more than Africa’s figure.
The largest amount of land is spoiled due to breeding in Africa, at a half a billion hectares, 120
million hectares more than in Asia where it is 380 million hectares. As for farming, Asia has more
damaged land than Africa, at 410 million and 300 million hectares respectively.
In other two continents there is less spoiled land. In Australia, the amount of land damaged due to
tree cutting is twice larger than the amount of lands ruined because of farming, at 100 million and
50 million hectares respectively while the figures for Europe stands at roughly 100 million
hectares. As regards breeding, there is nearly twice as much land damaged in Australia as the land
in Europe, at 210 million and 110 million hectares accordingly.
The charts indicate how much rain there is per month and how the monthly temperature changes
in a country of East Afrika.
Overall, Spring and autumn are rainier than Summer and Winter, with most rainfall happening in
April in the nation of East Afrika. Temperature, meanwhile, tends to reach its peak in March and
May.
Winter and Summer receive the least rain, with December being the rainiest month with 50
millimeters rainfall for both seasons. In Spring and Autumn, in contrast, it rains more, with April
having the largest amount of precipitation of well over 250 millimeters and with rest of the
months receiving the rainfall of between 100 and 150 millimeters.
Turning to the temperature in the country, it fluctuates throughout a year. While the weather starts
to become hotter in January, at 22 degrees Celsius and reach a peak of 24 degree in March, it is
the least hot in Summer, at around 20 degrees Celsius. In Autumn, the temperature tends to rise
and peak at 24 degrees in October, and decrease to 21 degrees as it approaches the end of the year.

The charts compare types of movies which won Oscar in two years, 2003 and 2008.
Overall, the total of thriller and action films awarded with Oscar accounted for the largest
percentage in both years. Another interesting point is that the percentages of Romance, Science
Fiction and Documentary winning Oscar in 2008 are higher than in 2003.
In 2003, thriller and action films accounted for roughly 50 % and 20 % respectively. However, the
proportion of thriller genre awarded with Oscar declined to a third in 2008, while action films saw
a significant rise to a quarter. The number for romance, Sci-fi and documentary stood at less than
25% percent in total in 2003 but it rose to 33% in 2008.
As for other two Oscar winners, comedy and horror films the picture is slightly different. While
percentage of comedy movies was just under 10% for both years in question, the figure for horror
films fell from 15% in 2003 to 10% in 2008.
The table presents data on the entertainment purchases of adult population in Canada, In the USA,
France, Germany and the UK in 2012.
Overall, the most popular form of entertainment for all five countries was movies, while the least
favorite was museums and galleries in North America market and sporting events in Europe.
Overall, movies were the most popular entertainment choice for/among adults in all five
countries with museums/galleries and sporting events being the least favorite in North America
and Europe, respectively.
Whereas the performing arts did not show a great discrepancy in adult attendance, ranging from
31.9% in Canada to 41.9% in France, it is different for museum/gallery visits. France doubles the
USA in this regard (39.1% to 20.6%), whilst all three EU countries, whose rates were similar,
more than double Canada’s 15.6%.
In terms of sports, there was a similarly small variance in among five countries, with the UK
boasting the most tickets sold to 31.1% of adults, and France the least, at 22.7%. Cinema,
meanwhile, attracted over the half of the people in Canada and America, although in Europe, the
high was just 46.4%.
The table compares four English countries in terms of the number of viewers, given in millions,
who watch five types of sport events on TV.
Overall, in the USA, where golf is the most popular sport event, the total number of people
watching Sports on TV is the highest, while opposite is true for Canada, where tennis is the most
favorite.
Whereas tennis does not show a great discrepancy in the number of its viewers, ranging from 6.1
million in Canada to 7 million in the USA, it is different for golf. The USA accounts for almost
half of the total viewers watching Golf, at 11.2 million, nearly tripling all other three countries in
this regard.
In terms of Athletics, there is a similarly small variance among four countries, with The USA
having a third (5.5 million) of total viewers at 16.9 million and Australia having less than a fifth
(3 million). Motor racing with the total of 12,7 viewers, half of which belongs to the UK,
meanwhile, attracts the fewest number of people in two North American countries at 2.6 million
together.
The tabular data represents differences in poverty level in Australia, in terms of six family times,
ranging from single aged person to couple with children, for 1999.
Overall, it is clear that around 1 out of 10 ten families in Australia lived in poverty, with elderly
accounting for the lowest percentages and sole parent households the highest in 1999.
In 1999, of roughly 1.9 million poor households, sole aged family stood for 6 %, which was twice
as low as the figure for couple with kids, while aged couple accounted for less than 5 %, being the
lowest percentage among all family types. As for single parent and single with no children
households, their contributions were almost 20%.
The other two types of remaining households showed unexpected data. While families of couple
with no children had 7 % (211,000 people) share from the overall poverty rate, households with
both parents and children accounted for only 12% (933,000 people), which was surprisingly lower
considering the difference in the number of people in these two categories.

Overview: Mandarin Chinese with the most native speakers; English is the most popular as a
second language. Arabic and Portuguese come at the bottom in both regards.
The tabular data compares six world languages in terms their popularity as the first language and
additional language among speakers.
Overall, Mandarin Chinese and English are the most popular languages, with Mandarin coming
top of the native-speaker list and with English being the most popular as an extra language.
Arabic and Portuguese are at the bottom of list in both regards.
With the 900 million native speakers, Mandarin Chinese comes on top, while Arabic and
Portuguese are spoken by much less people as the first language, at just over 200 million each.
The remaining three - English, Spanish, and Hindi- have similar number of native speakers,
ranging from 339 to 370.
However, the picture for the non-native speakers list is slightly different for a couple of
languages. Although, English comes the fourth on the native speaker list, it has largest number of
non-native speakers, exceeding Mandarin Chinese in this regard, at 603 million and 190 million
respectively, whilst, the remaining four have far a smaller number of non-natives, varying
between 10 million for Portuguese and 120 million for Hindi.
The tabular data compares birth rates among women of Australia in their early forties in terms of
how many children they had from 1981 to 2006.
Overall, the total number of children born of women aged between 40 and 44 declined
significantly over the period in question. While the percentages for three categories- no child, sole
child and a couple of children- rose significantly, the figure for the remaining two, -three kids and
four kids or more-, declined noticeably.
In 1981, the proportion women aged 40-44 who chose not be a mother was 8.5 % while those who
preferred to rase one child was 7.6 %. By 2006, the both figures had almost doubled. In the
meantime, the percentage of so-called women who gave birth four or more children underwent a
remarkable fall, nosediving from 27.6% in 1981 to 11 % in 2006.
The figures of remaining two categories did not change as significantly as those above-mentioned.
Although the incidence of women having two children grew gradually from 29% in 1981 to
38.9% in 2006, the figure for those whose maternal choice was three children fell moderately by 6
% to 21.5%.
The table gives information about
The table compares the five highest ranking countries in terms of the numbers of visits and the
money spent by tourists over a period of two years.
It is clear that France was the world’s most popular tourist destination in the years 2012 and 2013.
However, the USA earned by far the most revenue from tourism over the same period.
In 2012, 83 million tourists visited France, and the USA was the second most visited country,
with 66.7 million tourists. Spain and China each received just under 58 million visitors, while
Italy was ranked fifth with 46.4 million tourists. 2013 saw a rise of between 1 and 4 million
tourist visits to each country, with the exception of China, which received 2 million fewer visitors
than in the previous year.
Spending by tourists visiting the USA increased from $126.2 billion in 2012 to $139.6 billion in
2013, and these figures were well over twice as high as those for any other country. Spain
received the second highest amounts of tourist revenue, rising from $56.3 billion to $60.4
billion, followed by France, China and Italy. Interestingly, despite falling numbers of tourists,
Chinese revenue from tourism rose by $1.7 billion in 2013.

The tabular data shows sales patterns of three locations of Vancouver restaurant for the 2016.
Overall, while foods made of chicken seem to be the most commonly sold items in all three
branches, Georgia was much busier than Dunsmuir and Drake streets. Another interesting point is
that the number of eat-in sales and that of take-away sales in all three locations lay within a
similar range.
Georgia Street, where chicken Burger was the most popular item, was the busiest location with
overall 854 transactions, each generating well over 10 dollars, which was twice as much as that
for Dunsmuir Street, where 750 sales were registered and Chicken wings were the most common
purchase. Of total sales at Georgia and Dunsmuir, eat-in accounted for 405 and 358 respectively,
slightly higher than figures for take-away.
Interestingly, although each transaction at Drake Street cost almost as much as at Georgia Street,
the later performed twice as well as the former, which had only just over 400 transactions. In
contrast to Georgia and Dunsmuir, Drake branch with chicken Pasta as the most purchased food
had more clients preferring eating in than those going for take-away option.
The tabular date illustrates to what extent the members of a sports club is satisfied with its
different facilities, activities and working hours. The satisfaction rate falls into three categories:
very satisfied, satisfied and not satisfied.
While more men than women are happy with activities provided by the club, almost equal
percentage of both genders have voted to be satisfied with club’s amenities.
The highest percentage of unhappy attendees of both genders is for opening hours, totaling at 40%
as opposed to 35% and 24 % for activities and facilities respectively. While far fewer males than
females complained about the activities (5% verses 30%), the opposite is true for opening hours 3% for women versus 37% for men. Club facilities, in the meantime, have been voted to be not
enjoyable by similar proportions of males and females.
As for the satisfied customers, whereas more than half of the male respondents have said that they
are more positive and two fifth of them are said to be satisfied with a variety of activities, the
equal number of their female counterparts have voted to be very satisfied and satisfied with the
same service, at 35%. Meanwhile, the overall percentage of very satisfied and satisfied club
facility users for both sexes are within close range, at around 90%, while a great deal more of
female members, at the total of 97 %, are reported to be happy with opening hours than their
counterparts two third of whom are said to be happy with the same offer.
Model answer
The table compares the opinions of male and female club members about the services provided
by a city sports club.
What we see from the responses is the male members are generally happy or satisfied with the
range of activities at the club, with only 5 % dissatisfied. In contrast, however, only about twothird of female members were positive about the activities range and almost a third were
dissatisfied.
The genders were more in agreement about the club facilities, with only 14% of women and 10
% of men being unhappy with these, and the majority very positive (64 and 63% respectively).
Finally, the female respondents were much happier with the club opening hours than their male
counterparts, three quarter of them being very satisfied and 3% being unhappy. Nearly 40%
of the men, in the meantime, complained about the hours.
Overall, the table indicates that female members are most unhappy with the range of activities,
while male members w feel that opening hours are the least satisfactory aspect of the club
The pie chart reflects the difference in the revenue of five categories of products in a department
store over the course of 3 years.
Clearly, the company’s decision to hire new leadership to alter the store’s sales trajectory has led
to increased trade in every day items and a decrease in big-ticket items.
In 2010, the electronics and fashion departments accounted for 65% of store’s gross revenue; by
2012, this number had dropped to exactly half of the all sale. Although electronics remained the
highest grossing department, it nevertheless showed the greatest overall reduction at 10%.
Furniture, the other big- ticket item, saw sales shrink by more than half over the 3-year span,
falling to 4% from 10 %.
Grocery items and housewares, meanwhile, increased significantly, jumping from 10% and 15%
respectively to 23% each in 2012. For groceries, this is a jump of more than double the previous
sales figure. This confirms a shift by consumers to more staple goods and everyday items, as
furniture and groceries each contributed to 10% of sales in 2010, with inverse changes in 2012.
The pie charts reflect the differences in water use in six regions of the world.
Overall, in Asia, Africa and South America the most of water supply goes to agricultural sector,
while in Europe and North America the largest amount of water is used for industrial sector.
In four areas- Africa, Central and South East Asia, and South America, agriculture accounts for
the largest amount water use, averaging between 71% and 88%, while the picture is different in
north America and Europe, at 39% and 32% respectively. As for domestic water use, it constitutes
well above 10% in North and South America, and Europe, ranging from 13% to 19%. In Africa
and Central and South Eas Asia, meanwhile, the so-called figure is less 10%, between 7% and
9%.
In terms of industrial sector, it has the highest rate of water consumption in North America and
Europe, each using roughly half of the total water supply, while this kind use of water, as with
domestic use, stands for very little in other four regions.
The bar charts compare the percentage of British Students at a university in England in 2000 and
2010, in terms of their other world language skills, in particular French, German and Spanish.
Overall, the number of bilingual and multilingual students increased significantly over the period
in question. Another notable point is that Students with Spanish language skills constituted the
highest proportion in both years.
In 2000, only a tenth of the British students were multilingual and a fifth did not possess any other
language skills; by 2010, the percentage of multilinguals had shown an increase of 5% to 15%,
whereas that of monolinguals had halved to 10%. Meanwhile, the proportion of students who
speak another language, excluding French, German and Spanish, went up slightly from 15% in
2000 to 20 % in 2010.
As for the three major languages- French, German and Spanish accounting for the highest level of
students at around a third- the percentage of students did not change significantly, totaling exactly
55% in both 2000 and 2010.
The line chart shows how much each individual contributed to the emissions of CO2 gas in four
countries from 1967 to 2007.
Overall, there was a decrease in the share of carbon dioxide for each person in the UK and
Sweden, while the figures for Italy and Portugal saw a significant growth over the 40 years.
In 1997, for each individual in The UK and Sweden, CO2 emissions were 11 tonnes and 9 tonnes
respectively. Despite its increase of 2 tonnes during the first decade, the trend for Sweden
nosedived over the next 30 years, plummeting from around 11 tonnes to just above 5 tonnes. In
the meantime, The UK had only seen a gradual drop of 3 tonnes to 8 tonnes by 2007.
The trends for Italy and Portugal show a completely different picture. In 1967, Each individual in
Italy accounted for average of 4 tonnes CO2, more than twice as of much per person what
released in Portugal. The amount in both countries had risen greatly by 2007, jumping to just
under 8 tonnes in Italy and to well below 6 tonnes In Portugal.
In Western Australia, a recent analysis of hospital presentations shows that RSV cases dropped by
98 per cent during the winter months of 2020 compared with the same period in previous years,
but began to surge in spring, in late September, eventually exceeding the median seasonal peak
from 2012 to 2019.
Clinician
the proportion of children in hospital who tested positive for RSV jumped from less than 1 per
cent in April 2020 to 70 per cent in the summer months.
Other Australian states have seen similar trends. At the start of last year, coal provided around
two-thirds of electricity supplies in the country, with renewables, including hydro, at around a
quarter.
The pie charts compare the number of people visiting Ashdown Museum over the year before and
the year after its reconstruction and the bar charts reflect the results of surveys on how much
satisfaction the visitors got over the same two years.
Overall, the Museum’s reconstruction had a positive effect on visitors’ attitude, improving their
number and overall satisfaction of their visit.
Before its refurbishment, the percentage of the Museum’s very satisfied visitors was only 15%
while the figure for dissatisfied ones was 40%, accounting for the largest proportion of total.
However, this number then dropped significantly after its reconstruction, plummeting to 15% and
the share of very satisfied visitors more than doubled to 35%.
As for other categories, the number of satisfied comers to the Museum also rose considerably,
growing from 30% in the year before reconstruction to 40% in the year after it. The figure for
very disappointed visitors, in the meantime, halved from 10% to 5%, while the number of visitors
with no response accounted for the same small percentage in both years.
The pie charts compare two socioeconomic groups in terms of their expenditures on seven items
in a European nation.
Overall, people with high income tend to prioritize miscellaneous items whereas individuals with
low income spend more on food and drink than any other purchases on the list. Another clear
comparison is that both groups spare almost the same proportion of their income for clothes.
The two biggest spendings for the low-income group are on fuel bills, and food and drink, at 24%
and 29% respectively while the richer group’s expenditures on miscellaneous items (23%) and
recreational activities (21%) are higher than on other items in question.
Turning to less important expenditures, although both groups have tendency to spend much less
on clothes at around 5% each, the high-income group’s hotel and restaurant bills account for 12 %
of their income, this figure being three time higher than that for the low-income group. There is
also a big discrepancy between these groups in the percentage of transportation costs (16 % for
people with big earnings and only 9 % for those with low income).
College Board officials said the difficulties arise more from socioeconomic than from ethnic differences.
The pie charts compare two age groups, people between the age of 18-26 and 60-70, in terms of
hours they spend on six various leisure time activities, with the exception of emailing, on the web.
Overall, the most popular internet use among elderly is to book tickets, especially for movies and
traveling whereas youth are more interested in socializing on the internet, visiting Facebook or
Instagram. Another interesting point is that both groups of people tend to make a significant
amount time for researching, mostly to obtain health data.
Giving charts a detailed look, the youth spare almost a quarter of their leisure time for society
media and a fifth for watching movies and listening to music on the web, these activities being the
most popular among this age bracket. Elderly, in the meantime, enjoy most making bookings and
reaching for data, with activity accounting for more than 25%.
Turning to less popular interests, the younger age group has more tendency to play games than
older ones, spending three times as much as elderly do on it, at 18% and 6% respectively. This
number for the youth is fairly similar to the figure of elderly for accessing music or films. Older
people also tend to browse less social networking sites, sparing only 8% of their time which is
three times less than that of the youth.
The pie chars indicate that there are some major differences but also a few similarities in the
proportion of time younger and older people spend on six different activities on the internet.
The most favoured activity for the younger group, accounting for 24 % of their time on the net.
This contrasts with just eight percent spent on this by 60 to 70 year-olds. The largest percentage
of internet time for older users (29%) was spent on making bookings, in particular for travel,
while for younger users this was their least popular activity, at just 5%.
In other activities there were surprisingly similar percentages for two groups. Both groups spent
a fairly large amount of time researching, for example, health matters (26% for older people,
20 percent for younger). The younger age groups spent 21 percent of their time accessing music
and films but this was only four percent more the number for older age group. Finally, there was
only two percent difference in the a proportion of time they spent on shopping online.
The pie charts compare three types of substances, in particular sodium, saturated fat and added
sugar, that might cause health hazards when consumed excessively, in terms of their
concentrations in daily meals eaten in the USA.
Overall, more sodium is contained in dinners than two other additives, whereas snacks, as
opposed to other three meals, have more added sugar in them. Interestingly, the food eaten for
breakfast is less unhealthy, containing much less of these three substances in question.
People in the USA tend to eat food with more sodium (43%) for dinner and snacks with more
added sugar (42%). In contrast, meals for lunch and breakfast have much less of these two
substances, with former containing nearly 30% Sodium and 20% sugar, and the later containing
much less of these 14% and 16% respectively.
More saturated fat, meanwhile, can be found in dinners than in other types of meals, at 37%.
Breakfasts, however, have a great deal less proportion of this substance, at 16%, less than half the
figure for dinner, with the numbers for two other typical meals -lunch and snacks- lying within a
similar range of 20%.
Analyze:
What will stay the same: supermarket, toilet, and the entrance.
What will get bigger or smaller: the whole shopping center, car park, the department store.
What will change from X to Y: café becomes information center, play area becomes beauty
salon, noddle shop changes into shoe store and cinema makes into three different shops.
What will be added or removed: Fashion store and new entrance to the department store are
added while Fitness center and green areas are removed.
The two maps show the shopping mall, Southside, in its current form and its proposed expansion.
Overall, the plan is to extend the center and its car park into nearby green space to allow for
more stores and a greater focus on fashion at the expense of eateries and space for activities.
Currently, southside mall consists of only a supermarket, department store, cinemas, a noodle
shop and café with a children’s play area and toilet facilities. To the east of the center, there is a
golf course that backs on to a park, while to the south, there is a fitness club and carpark
opposite the mall entrance.
According to the proposal, only the supermarket with its entrance and toilets will remain from
the original site (intact). The significant development will be the extension of the mall in an
easterly direction (towards east), where it will overtake the land previously occupied by the
golf course and park. The fitness center too will be demolished to make way for the expansion
of car park planned to more than double in size. Inside the mall itself, although the proposed
renovation will allow for stores, including fashion boutiques and shoe stores, the department
store will stay, even increasing in size(volume) and acquiring its own entrance. A cosmetics
and gift shop will be added, as well as a beauty salon. There will, however, be nowhere to eat as
plans show the café will become an information center.
what will stay the same: Bayley and Trent streets;
What will get bigger: nothing;
What will change from X to Y: southern part of the town, the land at the side of Bayley street
was divided in two part. On the north side of the street, terraced housed, factory and half of the
wasteland made into housing blocks. Terraced housed on Trent street became blocks of flats.
What will be added or removed: on the east side of Trent street, housed were removed, more
shops to the east, railway line was removed.
The two maps depict how the areas around Trent street and Bayley street in Poulton town changed
over 35 years.
Overall, the part of the Poulton in question had acquired a more municipal look, becoming more
residential and commercial area at the expense of a form of transportation and an industrial
building by 1935.
In 1990, there were two main streets: to the west was Trent street, both sides of which were
covered with a line of terraced houses stretching from the south to the north, while in the
middle, connecting the west with the east was Bayley street, with houses and some commercial
buildings, including a café, laundry and a shop on the side. In northeast corner of Trent street,
behind the housing area was a factory, facing the houses at Bayley street, with wasteland next to
it. In the south was a railway line running parallel to wasteland and cottages for railway
employees opposite the houses on Bayley street and, crossing Trent street;
Over 35 year, this part of the town was given a more modern look. In the west, terraced houses
with green area at Trent street were replaced by two blocks flats, while the houses on the other
side of the street was destroyed to connect it to the west end of Bayley street. All Buildings and
wasteland on the south side of the Bayley street were converted into a park with a playground for
children inside, three shops and New lane street splitting the park and shops. Another significant
change was the construction of Bayley Mansions in place of the Factory, houses and half of the
wasteland on side north of the Bayley street; the other half wasteland was used to relocate the
laundry whose original site was given for a café facing the shops.
plan:
What will stay the same: northwest houses, northern hotel, roads.
What will get bigger or smaller:
What will change from X to Y: intersections to roundabout, terraced houses to supermarket with
its car park. Park to terraced houses, tennis courts to sport center with a car park next to it; field to
warehouse
What will be added or removed: grocer’s shop and block of flats removed; two narrow roads
added.
The two maps depict what the suburban area of Fosbury town looked like in 1980 and 2015.
Overall, there were a number of notable changes to the buildings and amenities of this area,
particularly to its commercial and recreational sites over the 35 years.
The area witnessed some tangible commercial alterations. A case in point is the construction of
a big supermarket with its parking lot behind it in place of terraced houses in the northeast corner,
while grocer’s shops and blocks of flats in front of the Hotel next to the car park were removed.
Just across the street, warehouses with a path leading to the street replaced the fields covering the
whole southeast corner of the area. Additionally, two intersections in the middle of the outskirts
were turned into a roundabout. However, to the northeast, there were houses which stayed intact.
There had been a few changes to the recreational amenities of the area too by 2015. The tennis
courts on the southern triangular land were replaced by a sport center with a path leading to the
north and, a car park facing the warehouses opposite the street. Another alteration to public
facilities was the relocation of the park, which resulted in its decrease in size, in easterly direction
to the empty land opposite the street,

The two maps show how the tourist resort, Beach hotel changed over a ten year period between
2003 and 2013.
Overall, the design of the area altered significantly to receive more tourists, with the addition of
more public amenities and some trees.
The land right next to beach underwent some notable changes, with the first being the relocation
of Hotel rooms, which doubled in number, to a little left during the 10 years. The swimming pool,
which doubled in size, took the place of the restaurant and seating area. They both were moved to
other end of the hotel rooms, which resulted in the expansion of seating area.
The beach itself had seen a couple of significant changes by 2013. The fence running from left to
right, isolating beach area from hotel area was gone. This removal made way for a water sports
building backing on the restaurant and for a couple of palm trees at edge of the beach.
The maps depict how the area school in 2024 will be different from its look in 2004. Overall, the
school is planning to almost double the number of its students, thus making some alterations to its
layout.
On the map 2004, the school designed for 600 pupils had two buildings separated a path running
through the middle of these buildings and connecting the sports filed in right half of school zone
to its main entrance next to the sole car park on the road in the west. The outside the school zone
was wooded land.
In 2024, to accommodate more students the school will add the third building and another car
park in the site of sports field, which be relocated just next to the new car park and, diminish in
size. Another important change will be the addition of a new road which will run through the
wooded land and connect the old car park to the new one. Finally, by 2024, the old two school
buildings will have been joint with a corridor necessitating the removal of half of the abovementioned path.
To sum up, the school intends to house another 400 students in 2024, thereby having one
additional building, car park and a road, and making some changes to its overall look.
The diagrams depict two processes: the production of cement and concrete. Overall, cement
making consists of five stages including packaging, while concrete production takes two easy
relatively steps.
The procedure of cement making starts with Limestone and Caly going through two drum-like
crushers turning these raw materials into fine powder. The powder goes to a cylindrical mixer
which supplies another bigger cylinder, the rotating heater. There, the mixture is constantly
rotated while receiving fire from the bottom of the rotator, after which it falls to conveyer belt
connected to a grinder. The process ends when the ground substance, cement is packed into bags.
To make concrete, it takes four ingredients: cement, water, gravel and sand. They are all put into
the blender and mixed together. The ideal concrete mixture consists of 15% cement, 10% water,
25% sand, and 50% of gravel to be used for construction purposes.
The diagram depicts the life stages of honey bee. Overall, the cycle taking over a month to
complete can be divided to 8 phases, with the first being a mature honey bee laying eggs and the
last being hatched eggs reaching maturity.
The life cycle of a honey bee starts with female bees laying eggs every three days. The eggs
require roughly ten days to be ready for hatching, after which newly hatched bees wait 5 days for
their first molting. The second molting follows after a week, allowing them to grow further. 9
days later, in the third times of shedding skins, the emergence of young adult honey bee occurs.
For these young adults, which can be differentiated from Nymphs with stripes on their skin
representing the adulthood, it takes 4 days to become mature honey bees and continue the cycle.
The flowchart depicts the process of how leather items are made. Overall, the procedure consists
of 8 stages, starting with drying the raw material and ending with using the ready leather to
manufacture products.
The process commences with loading dried animal skins into a lorry and sending them to a factory
where the raw materials are first washed in a container filled with water and lime. The next point
is to move washed skins to bigger container full of only lime this time and keep them in this
liquid, after which they go through a flattening process by which they lose their much of their
moisture content. In the following stage, the raw leathers are put in yet another container filled
with Tannin,- the mixture of water and vegetable matter-, to absorb moisture before going to next
stage of polishing when they are ready to be used for manufacturing. The polished leathers are
once again loaded into a lorry to be sent to another factory where they are utilized to make leather
goods, finishing the whole production.
