The given line graphs demonstrate the amount of money that British
parents spend on their children’s sports as well as the number of British
children partaking in different sport between 2008 and 2014. Overall, a
gradual growth in average monthly spending on children’s sports was
witnessed over the years from 20 pounds to over 30 pounds. In terms of the
percentage of their participation, football recorded the highest figure,
followed by those of athletics and swimming respectively. Starting at the
highest figure at about eight million in 2008, the proportions of kids enjoying
playing football remained steady and then grew slightly from 2011 to the end
of the period shown at over 9 million. Similarly, that of two other types of
sports also increase. However, compared to that of swimming experiencing a
slight upsurge from 2.3 million to just over 4 million numbers of participators
over six years, the figure for athletics rose more dramatically reaching its
peak of over 5 million in 2012 after standing at the bottom of only 1 million
for two years, ending the period at the second place.

The provided chart illustrates annual average expenditure on clothing per
person in America over a twenty-year period from 1985 to 2005. Overall, it is
clear that while the figure for females’ clothes increased steadily, that for
males’ experienced fluctuations during the surveyed years.
In 1985, the proportions for spending on boys’ and girls’ clothes started at
a quite low point just under 100 dollars per each. Those for men’s and
women’s were far higher, standing at 350 dollars and 500 dollars
respectively.
During the next ten years, however, all figures underwent a negligible rise
with the exception of men’s clothing category. In particular, the amount of
money spent on boys’ clothes remained almost the same while that on
men’s grew marginally in 1995 before dropping to 400 dollars in the end. By
contrast, people paid out more for girls’ and women’s as two types of
clothing both rose moderately and reached a peak of 150 over 600 dollars
respectively at the end of the period in 2005

The provided graph demonstrates the quantity of males and females
taking up sport in an English town in 2012. Overall, it can be seen that,
 boys’ favourite one was clearly football while that of girls was
swimming and the least popular for both sexes was hockey.
When it comes to football, men’s participation recorded the highest
figure of 60 which was three times as many as that of women (roughly
20). Following that, boys also outnumber girls in tennis, as it was
favoured by 50 boys in comparison with approximate 37 girls.
Similarly, the number of boys cycling nearly doubles that of girls (20).
Even with the least appreciated sport hockey, figure for boys was still
higher than that for girls, recording 15 and 9 respectively.
The pattern tend to reverse in regard to other sport games. To
illustrate, swimming was chosen by 50 girls compared to merely over
40 boys. Besides, the quantity of females playing badminton was 40
bigger than that of males reaching 30.
- The difference, in terms of hockey, was minimal with only about 5 more
boys playing that sport than girls.

The provided table demonstrates the quantity of different types of
registered vehicles in Australia from 2010 to 2014. The overall trend
was upward for all categories with passenger ones maintaining to take
the lead and motorcycles recording the highest percentage growth
over the years.
To illustrate, passenger vehicles, motorcycles and commercial ones
were three members of the dominant group. With the striking number
of 11 million in 2010, those for passengers continued to rise steadily
 reaching 13 million by the end, achieving first place. The first runner-
up belonged to commercial transports as there was also a significant
increase in its figure approximately by 400 thousand starting from 2,3
million. The surveyed course also witnessed the most noticeable
proportion change of 30.7% in the data on motorcycles rocketing to
745 thousand vehicles by 2014
The pattern tended to be more persistent with two remaining figures.
Particularly, light trucks were the least prevalent with a registration
number of 131 thousand and heavy trucks experienced the most
minimal growth in popularity recording merely a 10,2% increase.

The provided graph demonstrates and predicts the proportion of New
Zealand inhabitants between 1950 and 2050. Overall, New Zealand
clearly has an aged population as the oldest constitutes the most and
there is a swap in the lowest rank between 0-14 and 25-37 age groups.
The supreme figure was evidently over 65 age bracket starting with
approximately 65%, fluctuating slightly through the surveyed course.
Initially standing at similar points were the data of 38-45 and 25-37
age groups about 23% and 22% respectively. However, as years
passed, they began to differ. While the former experienced a striking
growth to roughly 50%, the latter recorded merely 17% in 1990 and
continued to plummet more dramatically. More consistent patterns
were seen in the proportion of the youngest group as it just decreased
 subtly by 3% over the first 40 years before undergoing a rise to 13% in
2000.
It is projected that two previous dominant figures in the future will
continue to take the lead despite minimal drops. Those two remaining
younger brackets would exchange their positions with each other.
While the percentage of 0-14 would climb steadily to 20% recording
the third rank, that of 25-37 would take a nosedive eventually ending
one-hundred period with almost 0%.

6. The graph gives information about coffee production in 4
different countries from 1990 to 2010

Write
The provided graph demonstrates the amount of coffee produced in
4 countries between 1990 and 2010. There was an overall upward
trend for all industries except that in Colombia and Brazilian production
had undergone the most impressive development.
In the beginning, Brazil shared similar data with Colombia of about
0,7 and 0,6 million tones respectively before rocketing to nearly 1,9
 twenty years later. Clearly, it took the lead and became unrivalled.
Strongly opposed to that pattern, the production of coffee in Colombia
experienced steady decreases as 20-year course saw its figure
constantly falling from 0,6 to 0,3 million tonnes.
More consistent growths were witnessed in the coffee industries of
Indonesia and Vietnam. Both initially stood at low points of 0,2 for the
former and 0,1 for the latter. However, by 2010, there was double and
triple rises to 0,4 and 0,3 in these two correspondingly.
7. the bar chart below shows the proportions of English men and
women of different ages who were living alone in 2011. The pie
chart compares the numbers of bedrooms in these one-person
households.
 The two charts provide information about single-occupant
households in England in the year 2011. While the bar chart compares
the figures in terms of age and gender, the pie one demonstrates the
number of bedrooms in these houses.
Overall, the average of the data in the former indicates that women
more tended to live alone than men. Moreover, these dwellings usually
contained fewer than 3 bedrooms according to the statistics in the
latter.
The popularity of the solitary lifestyle steadily grew over the years in
young males. It reached its peak when male individuals were at the
age bracket of 35-49 as men nearly doubled women then. However,
when in their fifties, their gap was no longer present, their figures were
both equal. From that point onwards, the data witnessed a completely
contrast pattern with the figure for women increasing progressively. In
the last age group (85 or over), the proportion of women clearly
outnumbered that of men by a margin of 3 to 1
In view of the second chart, these individuals shared a preference
for few bedrooms, especially 2. The proportion of 2 bedrooms in single-
occupant houses was 35,4% evidently taking the lead. Followed closely
behind were those of 1 and 3 bedrooms recording 28% and 29,8%
respectively. Solitary accommodations with 4 or more bedrooms were
rare circumstances smaller than 7% in total.
8. The climograph below shows average monthly temperatures
and rainfall in the city of Kolkata

The provided graph demonstrates the monthly temperature and

precipitation in the city of Kolkata. Both figures tend to fluctuate
greatly in middle months. However, while the former eventually
recovers to its starting point, the latter falls deeply.
Initially standing at roughly 20 degrees, the data on the temperature
progressively rises for 5 months and reaches its peak in May. It records
approximately 32 degrees. Since then, it experiences a gradual
decrease but still levels off at few points particularly August and
September. In the end, it makes a recovery to its initial point.
The statistics of rainfall witnesses a similar pattern. It starts at about
15mm before skyrocketing in the following months and reaching its
maximum point of nearly 340mm in July. It undergoes a continuous
drop ever since and records merely a half of its start (7mm) which is
different from its counterparts.

bought in four months in 2014 from four different game stores,
and the pie chart shows the percentage of games that had
highest sales over this time.
 The provided graph and chart illustrate the number of purchased
video game dics from 4 stores and the saling proportions of the most
popular games over the first 4 months of 2014.
Overall, there was a decreasing preference for buying video game
dics from 3 stores except for Cyberrium. Also, most prevalent ones
were Bioshock Infinite and Pokemon Platinum with sales occupying
over half of the chart.
In details, initially standing at the third place, sales of Cyberrium
soared to approximately 3200 and finally took the lead, leaving its
counterparts far behind. The surveyed period witnessed a paralleled
decrease in figures for Ubihard and Gamestop. They both fell
dramatically and nearly converged each other, recording 1300 and
1200 respectively. In contrast, the data on IGN hardly changed at all,
merely declining by 100 since January. Bioshock infinite and
Pokemon Platinum dominated the game market with 30% and 28% of
sales correspondingly. Followed behind was similar statistics of
Assassin’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 3 and others ranging from 13% to 15%.

10. The plan shows how a coastal land has developed into a
coastal park
 The illustrations show the transformation of a coastal land into a
seaside park. Overall, the industrial area has been turned into an
amusement park with novel entertainment facilities and entries to the
beach.
 Before refurbishments, the land was divided into four primary areas.
The west part used to be unexploited. In the middle was a plot of land
for cattle raising and a central farming area including buildings
connected directly to the main road. The largest piece of land in the
east was devoted to agricultural work. The cliffs and beach behind
were untouched without any man-made constructions.
However, after development, there are remarkable changes. The
western and eastern areas of the coast have been turned into parks
with paralleled structures. While the former possesses a lake
surrounded by trees, the latter is entirely of wood forests with a small
café shop at the northwestern corner. The area linked to the main road
is now a public parking space with a footbath to the two adjoining/
adjacent plots. The cliffs are also equipped with steps to ensure safety
when accessing the beach.

 The chart compares changes in prices of three metals - copper, nickel
and zinc on a monthly basis in 2014.
Overall, most dramatic fluctuations were recorded in the price of
nickel. Those of copper and zinc were more stable, characterized by
less severe changes.
Nikel exhibited the most volatility with numerous positive changes in
the first half of the year. Specifically, the change from the last
December 2013 to January 2014 was the largest price jump, with 6%
increase in the figure for nickel. Since then, five following months
continued to witness rises but more moderate ranging from 1% to 3%.
From June onwards, the price of nickel underwent continuous declines
with the sharpest one recording 3% in June. Its price only grew again in
November as it grew by 1% to December.
Differently, the statistics of copper and zinc prices followed a more
consistent pattern. The price of copper experienced a 2% growth from
the last December to January. This initial rise was followed by smaller
increments with 0.5% in both February and March, 1% in April.
However, in May, the price of copper dropped for the first time,
decreasing by about 0.5%, a trend that persisted into June. Following
these reductions, the price began to rise again.

11, the maps below show changes to the ground floor plan of
university department in 1980 and 2010. Summarize the
information by selecting and reporting the main features and
make comparisons where relevant.

The map illustrates the reconstruction of the ground floor plan of a

university department between 1980 and 2010.
 There have been significant modifications over the years. Not only
has the floor been expanded but also new areas have been created.
Regarding the ground floor of the building, the surveyed period
witnessed the addition of 2 more seminar rooms to the original 3-room
center which generally extended the main working area and
specifically lengthened the corridor. Besides, the relocation of the
library which had been adjacent to room 3, has led to the expansion of
the office.
40-year span also saw changes in the surrounding area. In particular,
there has been the erection of a car parking lot in the southeast, in
front of the university department, near the main entrance. The garden
in the east has also been replaced by a novel small building including
the library and the IT center.

The map illustrates the planned structure of a new town.

The area is clearly designed to be residential with the predominant
proportion of housing interspersed with some basic facilities, while the
industrial zones are intended to be only on the outskirts. The road
system will follow a radial pattern with main roads leading to the town
center and a ring road encircling it.
Inside the ring road are six divided housing buildings with scattered
small recreational areas. These houses will surround the downtown
 square which has bus stands and parking lots inside. There will be 4
road lanes around this central housing that lead directly to the square.
Outside the ring road are 4 accommodation zones and 2 industrial
zones located in the southeastern and northwestern corners. Moreover,
although housing areas in the outer edge will be larger, there will be
fewer amusement facilities. 6 road lanes will be present, all connecting
to the ring road.

13, the diagram below shows how one type of coal is used to
produce electricity.

The diagram illustrates the production of electricity from a specific type of

coal.
Overall, the process starts with the extraction of raw coal before the
treating that includes various stages and ends with the transportation of
electricity to residential and industrial zones.
 Initially, raw materials are dug out of the ground and go through the
crushing machine to ensure optimal energy density. Then, coals are
transported to the gasifier where they, in the intense heat, turn into
condensed gases.
The following step involves the travelling of these gases through pipelines to
the cooling system where waste heat is released. Ever since, this energy
source continues its journey through the cleaning factory and gas power
plant respectively. These are places where they are also purified from waste
heat and processed rigorously before the final distributions. Final comes the
delivery of decent supplies of electricity to households and industries.

- Thermal power plants
- Remove any impurities

14, the bar chart shows the percentage of drug company’s total
sales, per region from 2002 to 2006
 The chart illustrates the annual sales proportion of a drug company
between 2002 and 2006.
Overall, this enterprise thrived most in Europe and Africa with the
respective statistics being steadily high. Still, it generated a minimal
amount of revenue in South America.
Asia was the only area where this drug firm witnessed profit growth
throughout the surveyed period. In particular, its data had climbed
successively from 12% to 28%, eventually recorded the first runner-up
in sales. In stark contrast, the figure for North America which used to
rank second in 2002, had fallen gradually from 33% to 21%, eventually
ending 2006 with the third position.
Despite experiencing slight drops, the percentage of sales in Europe
and Africa still managed to maintain its lead oscillating around 44%.
The same pattern was also seen in that of South America. Its figure
hovered at 11% and yearly stood at the bottom of the chart.
