Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Example Answer T he given column graphs compare the retirement age of males and females in six countries in 2004 and 2008. Overall, the retirement age increased in all countries except Italy, among men, and France, among women, where it remained the same in the given years. The Danish men and women retired at the ages of 60 and 59 respectively in 2004, but in 2008 they both retired at the age of 61. The average age of retirement for both genders was the lowest in France, with the men retiring at the age of 58 in 2004 and 59 in 2008. Women retired at the age of 58 in both the given years. The Italian men retired at 60 years in 2004 as well as 2008, whereas women retired at a younger age in both the years as compared to men. To conclude, a striking feature of the graph is that the retirement age for both sexes was the highest in Sweden in comparison with all other given countries. T he graph below shows the sales of children's books, adult fiction and educational books between 2002 and 2006 in one country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Example Answer T he given line graph compares the sales of three different types of books from 2002 to 2006. It is evident that the sale of educational books and children?s books showed an upward trend, but adult fiction lost popularity over the given period. In 2002, adult fiction was on top with a sale of 45 million dollars, followed by children?s books at 33 million dollars and educational books at 25 million dollars. After a few fluctuations, the sale of adult fiction declined to 30 million dollars by 2006. In contrast, educational books were the least sold in 2002. After that their sale showed an opposing trend to that of adult fiction and reached $32 million by 2006. Sales of Children?s books? started at $32 million in 2002, but rose rapidly to 42 million dollars in 2003. From 2003 to 2005 there was a very slight increase in sales, but after 2005, sales grew considerably and reached an all-time high of $56 million. Overall, children?s books ruled the market after 2003, among the given three categories of books. T he line graph below shows the population size, birth rate and the death rate of England and Wales from 1700 to 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Example Answer T he given line graph illustrates the information about the population size and also compares the birth and mortality rate of England and Wales for 300 years starting 1700. The population showed an upward trend, whereas death and birth rate showed a fluctuating trend. The death and the birth rates followed a similar trend from 1700-1950. From 1700-1750, an increase was seen in both these, with the birth rate rising from 30 to 40 births per 1000 people and the death rate increasing from 27 to 37 per 1000 people. There was stability in both for the next 50 years, after which there was a sharp fall with both rates reaching an all-time low of around 20 per thousand people by 1950. In between, from 1850 to 1900, birth and death rate again showed a levelling off. From 1950 to 2000, the death rate remained stable. In contrast, the birth rate increased dramatically, from 22 to 35 births per 1000 people. The three centuries saw a dramatic escalation in population from 2.5 million in 1700 to 50 million in 2000, with a short period of stability from 1750-1800. T he graph below shows the number of overseas visitors who came to the UK for different purposes between 1989 and 2009. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Example Answer T he given line graph illustrates the number of foreign visitors who came to the United Kingdom for business, holiday and for meeting kith and kin, from 1989 to 2009. It can be seen that tourists who came for holiday were more than those for the other given purposes for a major part of the given two decades. About 6.5 million people travelled to the UK for holidays in 1989. This number rose rapidly and peaked at 9 million by 1997, but after that fell dramatically and reached 6.5 million in 2004. After that, the number of visitors picked up again and again reached a high of 9 million in 2009. Meanwhile, business and socializing trips to the UK showed almost similar trends, starting from 3.5 million and 5 million respectively in 1989 and then rising moderately to reach 6 - 7 million in 2009. After that, a fall in the number of visitors can be seen in both these cases. Throughout the given period, more people did business than those who visited their family and friends. Overall, an upward trend can be seen in all three reasons for visiting abroad.
