Analytical paragraphs- Examples, samples


 
Question 1: Below is a graph given showing birth and death rates in a
country from 1901 to 2101. Write an analytical paragraph (100-150
words).

Answer 1:
The graph shows birth and death rates  starting from 1901 till 2101.
Since 1901, the birth rate has remained more than the death rate until 2041.
Birth rate was 20000 in 1901 and started increasing gradually. It peaked in
1961 to around 65000. From 1961, birth rate has fluctuated multiple times
between 50000 and 60000. It is expected to decline for the coming years
reaching approximately 42000 by 2101.
On the other hand, the death rate stood at around 10000 in 1901 and then has
increased steadily. It is expected to rise strikingly from 2021 before levelling
off to approximately 60000 between 2061 and 2081. The graph indicates a
slight decline in deaths in the year 2101.
The graph shows the huge gap between birth rate and death during 1961 to
2001. However, this gap is expected to reduce in the later years. Overall, as
opposed to the prevailing trends, the death rate will be more than the birth rate
in the later half of the 21st century.
Question 2: The chart shows the division of household tasks by gender
in Great Britain. Write an analytical paragraph describing the chart given
in not more than 200 words.

Answer 2:
The chart shows the number of minutes per day spent by British men and
women in doing household tasks. On an average, the women spend about
four hours doing household tasks whereas the men spend less than two and
half hours.
The tasks on which women spend more time than men include cooking,
cleaning house, taking care of the children and laundry. In doing all these
tasks, women spend approximately 200 minutes which is almost three times
the time spent by men in these tasks. On the other hand, men spend twice the
time than women in doing tasks like gardening and maintenance of odd jobs in
the house. Men spend the highest time, almost 50 minutes, in gardening and
petcare. While the women spend only 30 minutes for these tasks. The time
spent by men in washing, ironing and sewing clothes is as low as 2 minutes
per day as opposed to 25 minutes spent by women.
In short, women spend far more time doing household chores than men whilst
men prefer to do gardening, petcare and maintaining odd jobs.
Question 3: The pie chart shows the proportion of people from different
households living in poverty in the UK in 2002. Write an analytical
paragraph to describe the information in 100-120 words.
Answer 3:
The given pie chart illustrates seven different categories of households living
in poverty in the UK in 2002.
It is clearly evident from the pie chart that 26% of the total poverty-stricken
households are those of sole parents. Single people without children account
for the second highest proportion with 24%. In contrast to couples without
children that accounts for just 9%, couples with children account for 15% of
the poor households. Single aged persons and aged couples proportion for
12% together for poor households.
Overall, 14% of all households in the UK were living under poverty. The
younger generation had a greater poor percentage than their aged
counterparts. Couples without children had better economic conditions than
those with children.
Question 4: The following table shows details about the internet
activities for six categories for different age groups. Write an analytical
paragraph for the table given in around 150-200 words.
Answer 4:
The given table suggests the internet activities of seven age groups ranging
from teens to those in their seventies for six different kinds of activities. The
table shows that the younger generation is more interested in online games
and news, while the older generation spends time on the internet to research
and buy products.
 It is evident from the table that teens mainly use the internet for games (as
high as 81%), news and downloads and are interested in searching for people
or friends or doing any product research. The middle-age group (people in 20s
to 60s) is highly interested in getting news, doing product research and buying
products, the percentage ranging from 70-80%. The internet activity which
gets the least time is searching for people. All the age groups spend less than
30% of their internet time on the same. The amount of time spent on
downloads decreases with age and gets as low as 6% (for people in 70s).
Overall, the table suggests that teenagers are most likely to spend time
playing games and doing downloads. On the other side, older people are
interested in researching and buying products. People spend the least amount
of time searching for other people online.
 
 
Question 6: The graph given shows estimated sales of gold in Dubai in
2002. Write an analytical paragraph describing the line graph in around
150 words.
Answer 6:
The line graph depicts the estimated sales of gold in Dubai for a period of
twelve months in 2002 in millions of Dirhams.
In January 2002, the sales stood at 200 million Dirhams. It steadily increased
through the next month and peaked to 350 million Dirhams in the third month
of the year. However, the gold sales started to plummet over the next three
months and hit 110 million Dirhams in the month of July. Unexpectedly, the
sales doubled in August before coming down to the same level as in July for
the month of September. For the next two months of the year, the gold sales
levelled off to 180 million Dirhams and then slightly increased in December.
Overall, the estimated gold sales fluctuated in 2002. The sales were the
highest in the month of March and lowest in the months of July and
September. The sales at the end of the year were almost the same as they
were in the beginning of the year.
