The line graphs show the average monthly amount that parents in British
spent on their children’s sporting activities and the number of British children
who took part in three different sports from 2018 to 2024
It is clear that parents spent more money each year on their children’s
participation in sports over the six-years period. In terms of the number of
children taking part, fooball was significantly more popular than Athletics and
Swimming.
In 2008, British parents spent an average of around $20 per month on their
children’s sporting activities. Parents’ spending on children’s sports
increased gradually over the following six years, and by 2014 the average
monthly amount had risen to just over $30.
Look at participation numbers, in 2008 approximately 8 million Bristish
children played football , while only 2 million children were enrolled in
swimming clubs and less than 1 million practised athletics. The figures for
football participation remained relativelt stable over the following six years.
By contrast, participation in swimming alomost doubled, to nearly 4 million
children, and there was a near fivefold increase in the number of children
doing athletics
The diagram illustrates the stages in the life of the salmon, from birth to
maturity
It is clear that there are six main stages as the salmon develops from egg to
mature adult. We can also see that salmon spend time in three distinct
locations during the cycle,moving from river to estuary to ocean and then
back upstream
Salmon begin their lives in rivers where the adult fish lay and incubate their
eggs. After emerging from eggs, the young salmon spend the next stage of
their lives being reared in freshwater areas. Then, at some point in their
development, the fish swim downstream to river estuaries where rearing
continues
Following the estuary rearing period, the muturing salmon migrate to ocean,
where they eventually become fully grown adults. Finally, adult fish travel
back upstream to spawning areas of river; here they reproduce and lay their
eggs , and the cycle begins anew
The pie chart compares figures for visitors to four categories of tourist
attraction and to five different theme parks in Britain in 1999
It is clear that theme parks and museum & Galleries were the two most
popular type of tourist attraction in that year. Blackpool Pleasure Beach
received by far the heighest proportion of visitors in the theme parks sector
Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 38% of the
surveyed visitors went to a theme park, and 37% of them went to a museum
and gallery. By contrast, historic houses and monuments were visited by only
16% of the sample, while wildlife parks and zoos were the least popular of
the four types of tourist attraction, with only 9% of visitors
In the theme park sector, almost half of the people surveyd(47%) had been
to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Alton Towers was the second most popular
amusement park, with 17% of the sample, followed by Pleasuredland in
Southport, with 16%. Finally, Chessington world of Adventures and Legoland
windsor had each welcomed 10% of the surveyed visitors
The line graph compares three companies in terms of their waste output
between the years 2000 and 2015.
It is clear that there were significant changes in the amounts of waste
produced by all three companies shown on the graph. While companies A
and B saw waste output fall over over 15-year period, the amount of waste
produced by company C increased considerably
In 2000, company A produced 12 tonnes of waste, while companies B and C
produced around 8 tonnes and 4 tonnes of waste material respectively. Over
the following five years, the waste output of companies B and C rose by
around 2 tonnes, but the figure for company A fell by approximately 1 tonne
From 2005 to 2015, company A cut waste production by roughly 3 tonnes,
and company B reduced its waste by around 7 tonnes .By contrast, company
C saw an increase in waste production of approximately 4 tonnes over the
same 10-year period. By 2015, company C’s waste output had risen to 10
tonnes, while the respective amounts of waste from companies A and B had
dropped to 8 tonnes and only 3 tonnes
*Fairtrade: a category of products for which farmers from developing
countries have been paid an officially agreed fair price.
The tables show the amount of money spent on Fairtrade coffee and bananas
in two separate years in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden
It is clear that sales of Fairtrade Coffe rose in all five European countries from
1999 to 2004, but sales of Fairtrade bananas only went up in three out of the
five countries. Overall, the UK saw by far the highest levels of spending on
the two products
In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of Fairtrade Coffee, at 3$ million,
while revenue from Fairtrade bananas was the highest in the UK, at 15$
million. By 2024, however, sales of Fairtrade coffee in the UK had risen to
20$ million, and this was over three times higher than Switzerland’s sales
figure for Fairtrade coffee in the same year. The year 2024 alse saw dramatic
increases in the money spent on Fairtrade bananas in the UK and
Switzerland, with revenues rising by 32$ million and 4.5$ million respectively
Sales of the two Fairtrade products were far lower in Denmark, Belgium and
Sweden. Small increases in sales of Fairtrade coffee can be seen, but
revenue reamained at 2$ million or below in all three countries in both
years. Finally, it is noticeable that the money spent on Fairtrade bananas
actually fell in Belgium and Sweden
The line graph gives information about recycling rate of aluminium, glass,
paper and plastic in the USA between the years 1960 and 2010.
The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004
with a proposed site design for the year 2024
It is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of new school
building. The school will then able to accommodate considerably a larger
number of students.
In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school
buildings were seperated by a path running from the main entrance to the
sport field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third
building will have been contructed. Furthermore, the plan is to join the two
buildings together, creating a shorter path that links he building only
As the third building and a second car park will be built on the site of the
original sports field, a new, smaller sports field will need to be laid. A
newroad will also be built from the main entrance to the second car park.
Finally, no changes will be made to the main entrance and original car park.
