in four countries on consumer goods [unit = thousand pounds]

The given chart compares the spending on different types of consumer goods in
4 nations including Belgium, Spain, Austria and Britain. Overall, cameras and
toys take turns to lead others in popularity. Also noteworthy is that Britain
appears to be the most significant/prominent consumer among the given
European countries.
Looking first at the countries with the highest spending , Britain is the
country having the highest expenses on both six surveyed consumer products,
ranging from 155 thousand pounds to 170 thousand pounds.

Looking first at the countries with the highest spending, Britain is the
country having the highest expenses on both six surveyed consumer products,
with the data for toys and cameras registering approximately 170 thousand
pounds, being 10 thousand pounds higher than the amount of money spent on
cosmetics and books each. Meanwhile, the two remaining unpopular items only
cost the British nearly 155 thousand pounds.

The second rank belongs to Austria in terms of the expenditure on cameras,


books and toys when the figure for cameras is smaller by a negligible margin
of 5 thousand compared to that in Britain. Of equal note is that the data for
books and toys are equal/even, landing at roughly 160 thousand. In contrast,
the remaining types of goods seem to be unpopular among Austrains as their
amount of money spent on these items is quite humble with the data for each
being 10 thousand smaller than that for books.

Turning to remaining nations/ modest consumers, Spain and Belgium, in


turn, lead the third and last position regarding the spending on cameras, toys
and books with the former spending roughly the same amount of money on six
different types of products, being within a range of 150 thousand to 155
thousand. The latter, meanwhile, deems the most modest purchaser when/as
the amount of money Austria spends on books and cameras outnumbers that of
Belgium two to one, respectively. The other four kinds of goods, however,
enjoy greater popularity with the figures being higher with a gap of 5
thousand in comparison with those for books and cameras.

The table uses four economic indicators to show the standard of living in
five selected countries in 1982. Overall, the quality of life in the USA was
significantly higher than the other four countries while Bangladesh seemed to
suffer from the most inferior living standard.
Looking first at the living standard of the USA and Bangladesh, the
former country, which is a developed country, ranked first in GNP at 13,160
dollars per head. It also had a far greater daily calorie intake (3653 calories)
life expectancy (74 years), as well as/ and the lowest rate of infant mortality
(12 per 1000 live births). In contrast, the latter nation by far came last in
the rank of life quality among all the indicators. To be more specific, not
only did the USA’s GNP outnumber its GNP a hundred to one ,but the calorie
intake and longevity accounted for only a half as those of America,
respectively. Its infant mortality rate, meanwhile, was 120 cases higher than
that of the USA.

Turning to the remaining nations , the range of indicators for Egypt,


Indonesia and Bolivia shared somewhat similar patterns, with Egypt
generally having the best quality of life amongst the three [=lead the
second position]. In particular, its residents tended to earn 690 dollars in
the surveyed year; at the same time, its calorie per day as well as life span
took turns to be lower by modest margins of 703 calories and 24 years
compared to the figures for America in the same order. On the other hand,
the living standard of Bolivia and Indonesia bore a strong resemblance when
both their GNP and daily calories were approximately a half of the USA's,
making them having the third and fourth most inferior living standards,
respectively. It is also interesting to note that these two countries’ longevity
landed at roughly a half of a decade, but the infant death rate of the former
nation, surprisingly, outnumbered the latter’s two to one.

The table compares the proportions of Britain school-aged boys in two

the year 2010. Overall, while football emerged as the most preferred sport

more interest in most activities, leaving aside swimming.

of exactly 35% of male partakers aged 6-11, which was higher by a huge
margin of 10% compared to the participation rate of the older group. This

examined adolescents. In contrast, rugby and swimming,in turn, held the
fourth and last position, with the former welcoming nearly a quarter of the
total surveyed adolescents. Meanwhile, the latter was the only sport that
