The graph shows the rates of participation in three different activities in a UK sports club

between 1995 and 2015.

The line graph illustrates the proportion of participants in swimming, team sports and gym
activities in a UK sport club from 1995 to 2000.
Overall, the percentage of members taking part in swimming experienced a drastic decrease
over the period shown, while that of fitness activities increased. It is also clear that the
participation in team sport witnessed the least change although it ended up with the highest
figure.
In 1995, swimming was initially the most popular activity, with half of the club members taking
part in it. Thereafter, the percentage of members participating in this activity dramatically fell
into a nadir of 15% in 2010 and it remained unchanged until the end of the period.
In contrast, despite commencing with the lowest figure of nearly 5%, gym activities rose rapidly
and surpassed swimming from around 2008 onwards. In 2010, their participation reached a
peak of 25%, representing a fivefold increase, which is the most pronounced change in the
whole graph. This was followed by a negligible drop to 23% at the end.

The chart below shows estimated world illiteracy rates by region and by gender for the year
2000.
The bar chart the percentage of illiterate males and females in six regions in the world in
2000.
Overall, South Asia was the most illiterate area, while he problem of illiteracy was the least
serious in developed countries. It is also reported that the percentages of females being
uneducated were consistently higher than those of males.
The percentage of the illiterate population in South Asia was the highest , with around 50% of
females and 30% of males being uneducated. Similarities could be seen in Sub-Saharan Africa
and Arab States, wherein the respective figures for men and women stood at 29% and just
south of 60%.
Turning to the remaining nations, the largest disparity between the two gender cohorts could
be seen in East Asia, wherein the figure for females (20%) was nearly twice higher than that for
their male counterparts. In Latin America, males and females shared roughly similar illiteracy
rates, both in the vicinity of 10%. Finally, the percentage of uneducated men and women was
truly marginal in developed countries, at a mere 1% and 2% in that order.
