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 a new school building. The school will
then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students.
In2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildongs were separated by a
path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is expected that there will be 1000
pupils, and a third building will have been constructed. Furthermore, the pan is to join the two original
building together, creating a shorter path that links the 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 new road will also be built from the main entrance to the
second car park. Finally, no changes will be made to the main wntranc e and proginal car park.
2.
The pie chat compare visitors’responses to a survey about customer service at the Parkway Hotel in
2005 and in 2010.
It is clear that overall customer satisfaction increased considerably from 2005 to 2010. While most hotel
guests rated customer service as satisfactory or poor in 2005, a clear majority described the hotel’s
service as good or excellent in 2010.
Looking at the positive responses first, in 2005 only 5% of the hotels visitors rated its customer service
as excellent, but this figure rose to 28% in 210. Furthermore, while only 14% of guests described
customer service in the hotel as good in 2005, almost three times as many people gave this rating five
years later.
With regard to negative feedback, the proportion of guests who considered the hotel’s customer service
to be poor fell from 21% in 2005 to only 12% in 2010. Similarly, the proportion of pp who thought
customer service was very poor dropped from 15% to only 4% over the 5 year period. Finally , a fall in
the number of satisfactory ratings in 2010 reflects the fact that more people gave responses to the
survey in that year.
3. The pie charts give information about the water used for residential , industrial and agricultural
purposes in San Diego County, California, and the world as a whole.
It is noticeable that more water is consumed by homes than by industry or agriculture in the two
American regions. By contrast, agriculture accounts for the vast majority of water used worldwide.
In San Diego County and California State , residential water consumption accounts for 60% and 39% of
total water usage. By contrast, a mere 8% of the water used globally goes to homes. The opposite trend
can be seen when we look at water comsumpton for agriculture. This accounts for a massive 69% of
global water use, but only 17% and 28% of water usage in San Diego and California respectively.
Such dramatic differences are not seen when we compare the figures for industrial water use. The same
proportion of water (23%) is used by industry in SanDiego and worldwide, while the figure for California
is 10% higher, at 33%.
