The pie charts below show the average household expenditures in Japan and Malaysia in the year

2010.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.

The charts illustrate the proportion of spending on different goods and services of household
in two different countries in 2010. Overall, it is clear that families in both countries spent the largest
proportion of their income on Housing and Food, while Healthcare was the service receiving the
lowest share expenditure.

Looking first at the highest cost for two countries, the spending on housing was the highest in
Malaysia at approximately 34% while Japanese families allocated just about 21%, ranking third in
the nation. In terms of food, the figures for both were quite similar, at 24% and 27% for Malaysia
and Japan respectively havering at approximately the quarter mark.

(The proportion of spending on Housing was highest in Malaysia, at 34% while Japanese
families allocated just 21% of their budget for this category. In terms of food, the figures for both
nations were similar, at 24% and 27% for Malaysia and Japan respectively.)

Looking next at the remaining categories, the amount of money average Japanese households
spent on transport was exactly a fifth of their yearly budget, which was twice {higher
as much as
than
that of
Malaysia. Simultaneously, “other goods and services” division accounted for the highest portion in
Japan, at nearly three tenths, whereas in Malaysia it was 26%.

(Regarding the remaining categories, Transport accounted for exactly a fifth of total
expenditure in Japan, twice as much as the figure for Malaysia. Healthcare received the least amount
of money spent on “other goods and services” were quite significant, at over a quarter in each
country.)
The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by local authorities in Someland
in 1980, 1990 and 2000.

The given pie charts give information on how the policy makers in Someland allocated their
budget to various expenses on a yearly basis over the period of two decades starting from 1980.

Overall, it can be easily seen that the proportions of public fundings spent on three sectors
namely tertiary education, transport infrastructure and services serving environmental purposes
witnessed upward trends over the period shown while the opposite was true for those on the other
three remaining sectors. Besides, in all three years, the highest level of public spending belonged to
development of the teaching and learning at universities, in contrast to the negligible expenditure for
unspecified costs, labeled “other”.

In 1980, the expenditure on higher education was recorded for about 35%, then this figure
increased sharply to 45% ten years later, but saw a decline in 2000 and the number was two-fifths.
Afterwards, total money was spent on the K-12 education sector with a quarter made in 1980,
meanwhile this data decreased slightly around 20%in 1990 and it was only 18% in 2000. In the
transportation field, 16%, 6% and 22% of money were used to make a difference in three years 1980,
1990 and 2000 respectively.

However, the in-charge authority spent nearly 15% on health and human resources service in
1980, which was 6% higher than that in 1990 and this figure had seen just under one in twenty. After
that, the environment services had very low funding, only 4%, 5% and 9% respectively and the
percentage was the lowest in the other fields. Finally, the proportion of other sectors remained low
throughout the period from 6% to 4% and only 1% in the given years.
The graph and bar chart below show the average mothly rainfall and temperature for one region
of East Africa.
Summarise the main features and make comparisons where elevant.

The diagram gives information about the figure for precipitation and how hot it is on a
monthly basis in a locality of East Africa.

Overall, it can be easily seen that April is recorded to be the month with the highest amount of
rain and a pretty high temperature while the opposite is true for July as at this time of the year, the
levels of rain and temperature reach the lowest point throughout the year. Another observation worth
mentioning is that both rainfall and temperature figures experience wild fluctuations during the
course of the year.

Looking at the first half of the year, we can see that it does not rain much in this area in
January and February, with the rainfall reported being around 20 millimeters. This figure, in the
following month, increases by a factor of five, reaching around 100 millimeters. At the same point of
the year, the same pattern of increase is witnessed in the level of heat as the first three month of the
year sees a growth of temperature from 22 to 24 degree Celsius, making March the hottest month of
the year. The two figures examined in the chart, however, have different patterns of change, in the
sense that the figure for rainfall witnessed an unprecedented increase to 260 in April before nose-
diving to 130 and a mere 10 millimeters in May and July respectively while the level of heat
decreases sharply as shown in the steep slope, to more or less 20.5 degree Celsius.

Regarding the other half of the year, it becomes wetter towards the end of the year as there is
a slight increase to 25 millimeters in the precipitation in September and a noticeable rise to 160
millimeters till the first two months in the fourth quarter. Only when December comes does the
rainfall figure decrease by a factor of three to a low of 50 millimeters. The more rain it has, the hotter
the weather becomes. The period from July to October records a gradual rise in the heat degree as it
reaches 23.5 degrees, making October the second most sweltering time of the year. However, an
opposite weather pattern is noted in the last two months as it becomes cooler at around 21 degrees.
 The plans illustrate how much a particular theater has changed between 2010 and 2012. It
seems that the theater was expanded sideways to incorporate more facilities.

Overall, a number of changes took place all over the layout of the building, with some
existing features being converted and relocated in the process. The only exception was the central
part, which remained relatively unchanged.

In 2010, the theater could be accessed from the main entrance to the South, through which a
cafe could be spotted in the right corner. Opposite the cafe lay a ticket office and administration
office to the other side. In the next two years, however, the ticket office was relocated to the bottom
right corner where the café had been, while the administration office was moved to the back. This
was to make way for a new restaurant area in the left rear corner.

The auditorium in the middle saw no change whatsoever, although the stage in front had been
nearly doubled in size, with the addition of a side hall behind it. The old media room and storage
room had been moved to the top left and right side, respectively, both of which could now be
accessed from the new hallway. Finally, a new showers area was built next to the media room.
