The line graph illustrates the consumption of three various spreads in grams from 1981 to 2007.

Generally, it is clear that the consumption of butter decreased considerably over the period studied,
whereas there were unstable patterns in the figures of margarine consumed. Interestingly, even
though low fat & reduced spreads came into consumption in 1996, these products were heavily
consumed at the end of the given period.

Looking at the graph in more detail, initially, about 140 grams butter and 90 grams margarine were
eaten respectively. While the consumption of butter rose noticeably to 160 grams in 1986, the
figure for margarine fell slightly to 80 grams, thereafter which it saw a noticeable increase to 100
grams in 1991 before experiencing a significant decline to 40 grams in 2007. However, the figure
for butter had witnessed a substantial decrease to roughly 50 grams by 2007.

As for the consumption of low fat and reduced spreads, these two began the period with
approximately 10 grams in 1996, followed by a dramatic rise to just over 80 grams in 2001, but in
2007 it went down negligibly to around 70 grams.

The flow chart demonstrates the way in which leather products are manufactured. Overall, the
process involves about 9 different stages, starting from drying animal skin and ending with the
production of leather commodities out of refined leather. The process requires the use of
transportation and sophisticated equipment in certain steps.

At the initial stage of the diagram, animal skin is dried before being delivered to the factory to
make the raw materials ready to produce leather goods. Now, the stages in the refinery factory
begin. First, a dried animal skin is submerged into a liquid of water and lime to wash it. Next, the
skin needs to be flattered with a flattering machine once workers soak it with lime itself. At the
subsequent step, the chemical called tannin- mixture of water and vegetable matter- is used to
soak the skin, before it is applied to the other special-looking machine to polish it. Then, polished
skin should again be transported to another factory by trucks, where leather products-ready to use-
are made.

The line graph illustrates an average daily electricity demand in England in the seasons of winter
and summer, while the pie chart compares the percentages of electricity that are utilized for
various purposes.

It is, overall, clear from the graph that demand for electricity is much higher in winter than in
summer. As for the pie chart, it is evident that the largest proportion of electricity is used for
heating rooms and water, whilst the opposite is true for lighting, TV, radio, vacuum cleaners, food,
mixers and electric tools.

Looking at the first graph, demand for electricity in winter decreases from about 35000 to 30000
unit within 7 hours, followed by a significant increase reaching an all time high of almost 50000
unit, after which it experiences a noticeable decline to approximately 330000 at the end of the
given day, whereas the figure for summer rises gradually from about 18000 to 20000 in 13 hours.
However, after 3 hours , this decreases roughly to 18000 again in which it remains stable at this
unit about 6 hours before increasing practically to 20000 in the end.

With regard to the pie chart, just over 50% of electricity goes to heating room as well as water,
meanwhile, 17.5 per cent of electricity is used for ovens, kettles and washing machines.
Interestingly, the proportions of using electricity for lighting, televesion, radio, vacuum cleaners,
food, mixers and electronic tools are equivalent to 15.0 per cent.

The pie charts compare the usage of six different devices in two separate years, in 2009 and 2019.
The units are measured in percentages.

Generally, it is clear that while the rates of using cell phones, tablets and flat-screen TV rose over
the period studied, the figures for PC, laptops and conventional television fell within that time. It is
also obvious that the share of utilizing conventional TV was by far the highest in 2009, whereas the
opposite was true for tablets and conventional TV in 2009 and 2019 respectively.

Looking at the charts in more detail, initially, the use of mobile phones accounted for less than a
fifth, whilst the figures for flat-screen TV and tablets made up 8 and 5% in accordance. By 2019, the
percentages of using flat-screen television and cell phones had increased, showing the respective
figures of 27 and 26%, meanwhile, the utilization of tablets had formed just under a fifth.

Regarding the other categories, the most heavily used device was conventional TV in 2009,
comprising more than a third; however, the figures for laptops along with desktop computers stood
at 20 and 18% accordingly. As for the year 2019, while the percentage of utilizing conventional
television declined considerably to 4%, the patterns for PC and laptops went down noticeably to
12%.

The line graph illustrates the proportions of the methods by which music was sold between 2011
and 2018.

Overall, the biggest percentages of music were purchased by downloading throughout the span
covered. It is also clear that while majority of people bought CDs and minority of those chose
streaming as a means of buying music in 2011, the gap between those figures shrank out as the
time moved on, converging in 2016 and showing a stark contrast by the final year.

Focusing on the figures for streams and CDs purchased, the former accounted for approximately 5
% in the initial year while the latter constituted more than a half of all music sold, showing an all
time high of about 55 % at that time. By 2016, interestingly, the percentages of music sold by
streaming had increased and those of CDs had decreased, registering an identical figure of
approximately 30 %. In the final year, the proportion of CDs used as a form of buying music was at
around 25%, with the figures for streams being roughly 17% higher, at practically 42%.

As for the proportions of downloaded music, the figures for that category experienced a peak of
around 42% in 2014 before witnessing a gradual decrease to 30%, by the end of a period, thus
showing the equivalent percentages of CDs and streams in 2016.

The two pictures illustrate the developments which have taken place in Grange Park over the last
century.

Overall, a comparison of the two maps reveals that the park has become more modern area. It is
also clear that the most noticeable changes by far have been in terms of facilities and
infrastructure. However, a few parts of the park have remained unchanged.

Looking at the maps in more detail, we can see that there was a stage for musicians in 1920 which
has been demolished to make way for somewhat larger building- amphitheatre for concerts. While
the rose garden with the seats in all four sides of it has been erected in the middle of the Grange
Park instead of the fountain, the water feature has been built to the southern east of the park by
destroying the glasshouse .

As for the northern east of the park, the rose garden and pond for water plant have been replaced
by café and children’s play area respectively, whereas all of the seats in the Grange Park have been
pulled down and moved to the centre of the park. Despite those developments, however, the places
of entrances and northernmost rose garden have experienced no change.

The information given in the bar graph makes comparisons about the tons of recyclable waste
types accumulated in a recycling centre over a 5-year period.
Overall, paper was the most common type of waste collected in the recycling centre followed by
glass, tins and garden rubbish in all the given years, with the exception of figures for 2013: glass
ranking the first position.
Looking at the chart in more detail, it is clear that the figures for both paper and glass decreased by
exactly 7 tons in the first couple of years, showing the numbers of 50 and 41 respectively in 2012.
Approximately as much tins were collected by the recycling company in 2011 as garden waste,
practically 33 tons. While the same tons of glass were recycled by the center in 2011 and 2013, the
figures for the category of garden doubled in amount between 2012 and 2013.

With regard to the figures for 2014, around two times much paper was accumulated by the
company compared to garden-related garbage, 51 tons and 27 tons respectively, while there was a
13-tons-difference between the data for glass and tins, with the former showing the higher figures.
In 2015, the recycling centre collected the highest amounts of recyclable wastes by far, the figures
for paper being as two times high as those of garden. Finally, just over 50 tons of glass was
collected by the centre, with the tins collection of about 40 tons at the end of a period.

The information given in the bar graph makes comparisons about the changes in the sales of games
software, DVDs and CDs between 2000 and 2003.

Overall, all the three categories, despite experiencing some changes, showed the same pattern of
ranking over the period covered: purchases of CDs being in the first position, followed by those of
DVDs and games software. It is also clear that the figures for DVD and video witnessed by far the
most noticeable changes during the given years.

Looking at the graph in more detail, two times as much money was spent on purchasing CDs as on
DVDs in 2000, with the respective figures of approximately $34 bn and $17 bn. Conversely, the sales
of games software and DVD/videos had generally increased, whereas those of CDs had registered a
slight decrease, by 2001, around $15 bn, $21 bn and $32 bn accordingly.

As for the rest of the period, the amount of profit made from selling DVD and videos continued to
rise enormously and reached a peak of about $30 billion at the end of the span, while the purchases
of games software experienced a little increase of roughly $2 bn in 2003. Finally, albeit remaining
practically the same in all given years, trade of CDs was still the most profit-making business.

The table compares the shares of participants by different age brackets who took part in various
leisure activities in the four weeks before the interview.

It is, generally, clear that the rates of people aged from 16 to 69 who partook in
dressmaking/needlework/knitting were nowhere near as high as those who participated in other
shown activities, with the exception of gardening and DIY. It is also apparent that by far the highest
proportions of all age profiles chose to watch TV and DVDs.

Looking at the table in more detail, three-thirds of individuals aged between 16 and 69 selected to
watch TV/DVDs, whereas the figure for participants aged 16-29 who chose visiting/entertaining
friends or relations account for 98%. Meanwhile, the percentage of all age brackets who went for
reading books was more or less the same, at around 65%.

As for the other activities, while 9 and 14% of 16-19 and 25-29 age profiles participated in
dressmaking/needlework/knitting respectively, the figure for seniors aged 60 and over stood at
27%. At the same time, the rates of individuals aged 16-19 as well as 25-29 involved in DIY made up
a quarter and a half, whilst the figure for the elderly constituted 38%.

The table illustrates the proportion of people taking part in different free time activities during a
four-week period before giving an interview.

Overall, people in all three age brackets had a tendency to watch more TV/DVDs and to visit
friends, while they showed the least interest for some useful activities like dressmaking/knitting
and gardening. It is also clear that interviewees had the same interests for leisure time activities no
matter what age groups they came from.

Focusing firstly on most preferred activities, almost all participants from all three groups chose to
spend their free time watching TV/DVDs, which is closely followed by the figure for visiting friends
and relatives. Although 98% of 16-19 aged teenagers opted to listen to music, the figure for which
was a bit higher than that of 25-29 aged people, only 65% of the elderly wanted to do the same
activity. Reading books, on the ohter hand, was selected as a free time activity by well over a half of
people from all groups.

Regarding the other three activities, even though the figure for DIY was still highly appreciated by a
middle aged group, with exactly a half of people doing that activity, this was one of the least
popular activity for the other two groups. Similarly, gardeing was one of the most preferred activity
for older people (68%), though, only a tiny proportion of teenagers was busy with that free time
activity. Finally, the corresponding figures for dressmaking/needleworking and knitting were 9%,
14% and 27% for teenagers, adults and the elderly.

The bar graph illustrates the popularity of five famous people's Instagram accounts in two separate
years in 2018 and in 2021. The units are measured in millions.

It is, generally, clear that by far the highest number of individuals has been influenced by Cristiano
Ronaldo in 2021, whereas the figures for the other given Instagram influencers have remained
more or less the same within that time. It is also evident that the numbers of people influenced by
these five well-known people in 2018 were nowhere near as high as those of 2021.

Looking at the year 2018 first, just over 100 million people were influenced by Cristiano Ronaldo
and Ariana Grande, whilst the figure for The Rock stood at just under 100 million. For Selena Gomez
and Kylie Jenner, the corresponding numbers were roughly 125 and 100 million.

With regard to 2021, while Cristiano Ronaldo has impacted on about 320 million individuals on
Instagram, the figures for the other four celebrities have amounted to 250 million.

The pie chart compares the percentages of Brighton University graduates in terms of employment
sectors they chose to work for, in 2019.

Overall, the majority of students opted for service industries, while the quite opposite was true for
sport sector. It is also clear that industries and transportation sectors were the dominant choices
among the graduates.

Focusing on the sectors which attracted more than a tenth of the graduates first, the proportion of
students chose to work in service industries was about twice as high as that of graduates went for
manufacturing industry, 33.0% and 16.3% respectively. Education and politics& government sectors
were the next common choices amid students, showing the respective figures of 14.7% and 12.1%.

As for the other sectors, the figure for transportation and warehousing was practically the same
with the combined shares of civil service and other sectors, at around 8.0%. Finally, while sport and
charity accounted for the least figures on the chart, those for Science& technology were
comparatively higher, at 7.3%.

The information given in the diagram illustrates the way in which dairy products are produced.
Overall, the process consists of several stages starting from grazing cows and finishing with
different milk products in the supermarket.

At the beginning of the process, cows, feed on grass, are milked twice a day by a milking machine,
whose milk at a subsequent step placed in the refrigeration storage to prevent milk from being
spoilt. Next, a milk tanker delivers raw milk to the Dairy on a daily basis where it is treated in two
different ways: either fermented with yeast to produce such fatty products as cheese, cream and
butter, or pasteurized to kill bacteria, and packaged straightaway, to refine the almost-ready
product. Finally, once the dairy products are available to consume, then they can be delivered and
put on the displays of shops and supermarkets.

The bar chart illustrates the value of commodities which Australia exported to and imported from
China over a period of seven years, whereas the second graph makes comparisons about modes of
goods imported from China in two separate years, (2003 and 2004).

Generally, it is clear from the first graph that although the figures for both import and export
increased noticeably over the period studied, the figures for import were higher than that of export
in all given years. As for the second chart, it is manifest that all types of commodities' share were
higher in 2004 than that of 2003, with the exception of clothes category.

Looking at the first chart, 10 and 20 billion goods were exported to and imported from China by
Australia respectively in 1998, thereafter which the figure for import rose significantly, reaching an
all time high of 40 billion in 2004. In contrast, by 1999, the figure for export was just over 10 billion,
after which it had grown markedly to 30 billion at the end of the shown period.

With regard to the second graph, the figure for toy/sports equipment in 2003 was nowhere near as
high as that of 2004, standing at 2 and about 7 billion respectively. Interestingly, while 6 billion
computers and 6 billion furniture imported from China in 2004, the figure for 2003 made up around

The bar graph illustrates how many British men and women were enrolled in full-time and part-
time education between 1970/71 and 1990/19.

Overall, while the number of females who studied both full-time and part-time rose over the period
studied, there was an unstable pattern among males in terms of studying full-time. It is also clear
that the numbers of both men and women who chose to study part-time were nowhere near as
high as those who studied full-time.

Looking at full-time education first, initially, 1000 men opted for studying full-time, whereas the
figure for women stood at about 700, thereafter which the number of women increased noticeably,
reaching an all time high of around 1100 at the end of the given period. By 1980/81, the figure for
Writing 7 + essays
men had witnessed a slight decline to 800, after which had grown to roughly 9000 by the end of the
shown year.

As for part-time education, men began the period with about 100, whilst the figure for women was
approximately 50. For males and females who studied part-time, the corresponding figures were
practically 200 from 1980 to 1991.

Report B
The bar charts illustrate the count of British students of both genders studying full-time and part-
time in further education in three different periods.

It is, overall,clear that the number of females increased over the years,while the figure for males
was not stable. Another interesting point is that there were more females than males studying
part-time in each year with the exception of 1970/71.

Focusing firstly on males in full-time education , they numbered exactly 1000 in 1970/71, followed
by a noticeable decrease by about 210 students in 1980/81. This figure witnessed a slight growth in
1990/91, accounting for around 850 students. By stark contrast, the figure for students studying
part-time, was significantly lower in the first year, with only 100 students which increased within
the span to reach its high point of 200 students in 1990/91.

As for females, the number of students who studied full-time went up considerably during the
period, growing from about 700 students to roughly 1100 students in the final year. Moreover,
while the count for students studying part-time accounted for approximately 50 students, this
figure increased almost four times in the next 10 years to reach below 200 students. Interestingly
this remained unchanged during the rest of the period.

The graphs illustrate the proportions of different films shown on TV in the UK and
Australia as well as the number of admissions in those countries between 1975 and
2005.
It is, overall, striking that the US films dominated TVs in both countries. Noticeably,
the count for admissions generally increased both in the UK and Australia, with the
former showing relatively higher figures over the span covered.
Looking at the chart A, first, it is clear that Australian and British televisions were
primarily constituted by US-made films in 2001, at approximately 66 % and 76 %
respectively. By stark contrast, while films produced in the UK were somewhat
popular in the UK itself, at about 20%, merely 2 % of TV content in Australia was
made up by Australian films.
As for the chart B, the number of admissions in Australia (25 m) was nowhere near as
high as that in UK (100m) in 1975. By 1983, surprisingly, the gap between those
figures had been shrunk out and the admission numbers in the UK were practically
two times as much as the count for Australia, showing the respective numbers of
about 48 m and 24m. Finally, in 2005, the UK gave just over 160 m admissions to
cinemas, whereas Australia granted the half of this figure.

The two pictures illustrate past and present layout of a university's sport centre.

In general, a comparison of the two illustrations demonstrates that a sport complex underwent
significant changes in its north-western and south-eastern parts, whereas some places remained
totally unchanged. It is also manifest that some new facilities were added to the university's sport
centre.

Looking at the maps in more detail, there were two tennis courts in the south-eastern corner of the
sport centre which were replaced by a changing room and a fitness centre respectively now,
meanwhile, north-western part of the centre was surrounded by a car park and a park with some
trees along with grasses which were cleared away to make way for a basketball court and four

The bar graph illustrates the amount of time an average child spends with Mom or Dad or with
both of them.

Generally speaking, mothers allocate much more time to their children than fathers do. It is also
clear that there is a noticeable margin between hours spent with children on weekends and
weekdays regarding both Dad&Mom.

Focusing on the figures for weekdays first, fathers spend twice as much time with children aged 0-1,
4-5 and 8-9 as with those aged 2-3 and 6-7, 2 hours and an hour respectively. While figures for
mothers, regardless of a child’s age, are in the 4.5-5 hours range, children in the 6-9 age brackets
enjoy comparatively more time with both parents compared to their younger counterparts,
spending around 2 hours.

As for the weekends, the time individual Moms and Dads allocate to a child is nowhere near as
much as that spent by both parents. Father and mothers together expend significantly much time
on their child on weekends, ranging from 4.5 hours to 5 hours concerning a child’s age.
Interestingly, mothers tend to spend much more time with 6-7-year old children, at exactly 4 hours,
whereas the highest figure for fathers goes for children in 4-5 age groups, at just under 2 hours.

The pie charts compare the shares of household expenditures for four basic needs in China in two
separate years (1995 and 2011).

It is, overall, clear that in both years studied, the largest proportions of budget spent on food,
whereas the opposite was true for medicine. It is also apparent that while the percentages of funds
allocated for household goods and medicine increased throughout the period, the figures for food
as well as clothing decreased within that time.

Looking at food and clothing sectors first, in 1995, 68 and 19 per cents of the budget were
expended on food and clothing respectively. By 2011, the percentages of spending on food and
clothing had declined to 59 and 18 per cent in accordance.

As for medicine and household goods, the former accounted for a mere 4% and that for the latter
stood at 9% in 1995. For medicine and household goods in 2011, the corresponding proportions
were 11 and 12 per cent.

The table illustrates how much money an average Australian family spent in a month in terms of
different categories in 1991 and 2021.

Overall, by far the hugest amounts of money were expended on other goods and services, followed
by food in both given years. It is also clear that Australians spent more money in 2001 compared
with 1991 in total.

Looking at the chart in more detail, clothing was the least common category for spending in both
1991 and 2001, A$ 30 and A$20 per month respectively. By contrast, the amount of money
allocated to transport in 2001(A$45) was nowhere near as high as that in 1981(A$70).

As for the food and housing expenditures, the figures for these categories witnessed a mere
increase of A$5, whereas the amount of money went on electricity and water rose enormously
between 1991 and 2001, showing the respective figures of A$75 and A$120. Surprisingly, other
goods and services were the most urgent category for spending in both 1991(A$250) and
2001(A$270), although witnessing a slight rise in the amount of money expended. Finally, the total
monthly expenditure of Australians in 2001 was slightly higher compared to that in 1991, A$715
and A$675 respectively.

The information given in the line graph illustrates the percentages of female parliamentarians in
five different European countries over the 12-year period.
Overall, the figures for Belgium, Spain and Germany began and finished the period with a marginal
difference. It is also clear that the proportion of women in the UK parliament was equivalent to that
of Italy in 2012, although the latter had had the least figures on the chart at the beginning of the
period.
Looking at the graph in more detail, there was an upward trend for the figures of all five countries
listed, yet with some fluctuations. In 2000, almost a third of German parliament was consisted of
females, after which figures for this country used to be plateau up until the end. While there were
about 23% female parliamentarians in Belgium in 2000, by 2012 this proportion had risen by
approximately 15%, reaching an all time high of 38%. With regard to the figures for Spain, however,
the number of female members of parliament increased steeply there until 2004, registering the
highest numbers on the chart. After 2004, however, the proportions used to be subtractive,
decreasing gradually.
Interestingly, the figures for the UK increased by merely 5% within the given period, showing the
percentages of about 18% in 2000 and 23% in 2012. By contrast, the proportion of female members
in Italian parliament was stable during 2000-2004 and 2008-2012, experiencing a sharp increase

The bar graph illustrates the share of people who accessed news via three various media in one
particular country in three separate years (2013, 2015 and 2017).

It is, generally, clear that the biggest proportion of individuals accessed news through television
over the period studied, whereas there were unstable patterns in accessing news via newspapers
and the internet within that time. It is also apparent that the percentage of people who heard news
via radio remained more or less the same in the given periods.

Looking at television and the internet categories first, the former began the period with 80%, whilst
that for the latter was about a third, after which the share of individuals hearing news via TV saw a
slight decrease to roughly 68% in 2015; however, the figure for the internet increased marginally to
40% at that time. Interestingly, the percentage of people accessing news through TV and the
internet amounted to around 70% in 2017.

Regarding printed newspapers as well as radio, initially, just over 40% of individuals chose to access
news via newspapers, followed by a noticeable decrease to about a fifth in 2017. Nevertheless, the
share of people who heard news via radio remained stable at approximately 30% in all shown

The charts illustrate the total number of Ashdown Museum visitors and the proportions of their
satisfaction levels prior to and following the reconstruction.

Overall, while majority of people were dissatisfied with the museum before refurbishment, an
increase in the rate of satisfaction can be observed in the following year. It is also clear that a
higher number of people took part in the survey in the second year compared to the first one.

Looking at the pie charts in more detail, there was a rise of approximately 10 % in the share of
those who felt satisfied with the Ashdown Museum throughout the span covered. Interestingly, the
proportions of very satisfied visitors in the first year were as much as those of dissatisfied people in

The line graphs illustrate the proportions of the usage of electrical appliances and how much time
spent on doing housework between 1920 and 2019.

Overall, the more people were provided with electrical appliances, the less time they allocated for
household chores. It is also clear that all of people around a country had been supplied with
refrigerator and vacuum cleaner by the end of a period studied.

Focusing on the former graph, it can be seen that, despite being introduced in 1920, the
refrigerator was one of the two most common electrical machines used to do household chores in
2019, being supplied to 100% people. The other, vacuum cleaner, was provided to a mere third of
total population in the beginning, while the percentage of this appliance converged with that of
washing machine in 1960, at practically 70%. Interestingly, although the proportions for washing
machine ended the span with the least number 72%, it was the most prevalent appliance at the
beginning of a period.

generally increased throughout the span covered.

Looking at the graph in more detail, the share of people going to cinemas on Mondays was two
times as less as that on Tuesdays in 2003. Interestingly, practically the same proportions of people
attended cinemas on Mondays and Wednesdays in 2005, at about 14 % identically. In contrast, the
percentages of moviegoers on the other days of week were nowhere near as high as those on
Saturdays in both 2003 and 2005, at 40 % and 45 % respectively.

As for the figures for 2007, almost two times much share of people attended the cinemas on

The line graph illustrates how much money was expended on books by four different countries over
a 10-year period, from 1995 to 2005. The units are measured in US dollars (millions).

It is, overall, clear that the amount of money spent on books in all given nations generally increased
over the period studied, with Germany ranking first in all shown years. It is also obvious that the
volume of spending on books in Austria exceeded Italy’s expenditure by converging with each other
in 2003.

Focusing on Germany and France first, initially, approximately 80 and 55 million dollars were
allocated to books by Germany and France respectively, thereafter which they both witnessed a
noticeable rise to staggering 95 and 75 million dollars in 2005, with Germany and France placing
first and second in accordance.

As for the other two nations, Austria began the period with a mere 30 million dollars, whereas the
figure for Italy stood at 50 million dollars prior to experiencing a gradual increase to just over $60
million in the end. By stark contrast, the figure of money spent on books in Austria had remained
stable at $40 million by 1999 and 2001 before closing the study list with $70 million in 2005.

The table illustrates the percentages of people according to different categories, who lived in
poverty in Australia in 1999.

Overall, poor sole parents accounted for the highest percentage on the table, followed by single
people who had no child. It is also clear that a majority of aged couples lived in fortune in the given
year.

Focusing on the categories whose less than 10% members lived in poverty, practically the same
proportion (6%) of single aged people and childless couples were exposed to living in poverty,
54,000 and 211,000 people respectively. In stark contrast, the figure for aged couple was merely
4%, which was nowhere near as high as the count for total figure as far as the number of people
concerned.
As for the other categories, while the proportion of poor couples with children and that of all
households were identical, at roughly 12%, the count for the latter were twice as many as the figure
for the former in terms of the number of people, with the respective numbers of 1,837,000 and

The table illustrates how much coal was harnessed by four different sectors in the UK over a period
of 25 years, starting from 1975. The units are measured in million tons.

It is, overall, clear that the consumption of coal in domestic, industry and services was nowhere
near as high as that of power stations over the span covered. In total, however, the amount of
utilizing coal decreased significantly over the period studied.

Looking at power stations and services first, 77.2 and 4.2 million tons of coal were used in these
sectors respectively in 1975, thereafter which the former experienced a marked decline to 47.1
million tons in the end. As for the latter, it went down noticeably, reaching an all-time low of 0.6
million tons in 2000.

Regarding the other fields, domestic began the period with 20.2 million tons, whereas the figure for

The flow chart illustrates the way by which chocolate is manufactured.

It is, generally, clear that there are about ten stages involved in the fabrication of chocolate,
commencing with harvesting mature red pods and culminating with producing liquid chocolate. It is
also evident that a wide range of sophisticated equipment and the use of transport are required in
the procedure.

Looking at the image in more detail, initially, cacao trees are planted in South America, Africa and
Indonesia in order to obtain yields, namely ripe red pods. Having been harvested, white cacao
beans are extracted by cracking pods. Following this, fermentation process takes place where beans
are fermented, prior to spreading them in a sunny place so as to dry. Next, dried beans are put into
large sacks before delivering them to a factory either by a train or lorry.

The steps which happen in the factory now begin. Once they are sent to the factory, they are
supposed to be roasted at a high temperature (250-350). Subsequently, a smashing procedure
occurs where beans are crushed and their outer shells are removed. Finally, liquid chocolate is
made by pressing inner parts of beans.

The first pie chart illustrates the rates of energy which are utilized by an average family in Australia,
whereas the second one depicts the percentages of greenhouse gas emissions generating from this
energy consumption.

It is, overall, clear from the former chart that while the largest shares of energy are harnessed for
heating as well as water heating, a complete reverse can be seen in lighting and cooling. As for the
latter, the highest proportions of gas emissions are released by water heating and other appliances.

Looking at the first chart in more detail, about two-fifths and one third of energy are used for
heating along with water heating respectively, whilst the figures for lighting as well as cooling
make up a mere 4% and 2% in accordance. For other appliances and refrigeration, the
corresponding proportions are 15% and 7%.

With regard to the second graph, 32% and 28% of greenhouse gas emissions are resulted from
water heating and other appliances correspondingly, by stark contrast, the respective figures for
lighting along with cooling are 8% and 3%. Interestingly, almost the same shares of gas emissions
are produced by heating and refrigeration, showing less than a fifth.

The image illustrates the way in which sugar is made from sugar cane.

Generally, there are seven distinct steps involved in the production of sugar from sugar cane,
commencing with growing and culminating with drying and cooling. It is also apparent that human
labor as well as complex machinery are required in the manufacturing of sugar.

Looking at the picture in more detail, at the first stage of the process, sugar canes are grown about
12 to 18 months before being harvested either by a combiner machine or humans using a sickle.
Having been cultivated, they should go through a process of crushing where sugar canes are
crushed by a special machine so as to extract juice.

In the subsequent stage, juice is purified in a limestone filter before sending it to a so-called
‘’evaporator’’ where heat is applied in order to make syrup out of juice. Once juice is evaporated, it
is supposed to undergo another process using a centrifuge which helps to separate sugar crystals
from syrup. Finally, sugar should be dried and cooled before delivering it to the consumption.

The pictures illustrate the ways in which cement and concrete are produced.
Overall, cement production requires mostly natural resources to produce, whereas
concrete production needs cement itself and other raw materials to be
manufactured. It is also clear that there are much more stages involved in cement
production compared with that of concrete.
Focusing on the former production first, clay and limestone are converted into
powder at the initial stage; with the use of a crusher. Next, the powder is mixed
before being heated in the rotating heater. Subsequently, the material is broken to
cement by a grinder prior to the ready-to-use cement is packaged, using a number of
bags.
With regard to the latter, it is much simpler to produce concrete rather than cement.
The only special equipment used in the process is a concrete mixer in which, at first,
practically the same proportions of cement and water poured, 15% and 10%
respectively. Then, twice as high percentage of gravel (50%) is added as that of sand
(25%). Only after all these raw materials are added, is a mixer ready to blend them.
Finally, the resulting mixture is concrete.

The line graphs illustrate the proportions of the usage of electrical appliances and
how much time spent on doing housework between 1920 and 2019.
Overall, the more people were provided with electrical appliances, the less time they
allocated for household chores. It is also clear that all of people around a country
had been supplied with refrigerator and vacuum cleaner by the end of a period
studied.
Focusing on the former graph, it can be seen that, despite being introduced in 1920,
the refrigerator was one of the two most common electrical machines used to do
household chores in 2019, being supplied to 100% people. The other, vacuum
cleaner, was provided to a mere third of total population in the beginning, while the
percentage of this appliance converged with that of washing machine in 1960, at

The bar graph compares the changes in the rates of movies screened in the UK and Australia in the
year 2001, whereas the line graph illustrates the number of cinema admissions in those two
countries over a 30-year period, starting from 1976.
Overall, it is clear from the chart A that while the highest proportions of UK, US and Australia films
displayed in the UK, the rest were shown in Australia. As for the chart B there were mild
fluctuations in the numbers of admissions in both countries over the span covered, the UK being
dominant in all years studied.

Focusing on the bar chart first, the percentages of American films shown in the UK along with
Australia accounted for roughly 67 and 77% respectively in 2001, whilst the figure for Australian
films made up just over 10 and 3% in accordance within that time. For the UK as well as Australia in
terms of screening UK films, meanwhile, the corresponding proportions were about 21 and 6%.
Regarding the line chart, the UK began the period with 100m admissions, however, the figure for
Australia was approximately 30m. By 1985 and 2000, the number of admissions in the UK had
fluctuated mildly, reaching an all-time high of practically 180m, by contrast, the figure for Australia
had risen with some oscillations and it had closed the study list with 80m by 2006.
