Overall, there was a general decrease in the percentage of people who donated money over the two time periods. However, the pattern differs between the three age groups before 50 and the two age groups after the age of 50.
Trang 11 DIAGRAM
The diagram shows the levels of charitable donations of people living in Britain, separated by age, between 1990 and 2010
Overall, there was a general decrease in the percentage of people who donated money over the two time periods However, the pattern differs between the three age groups before 50 and the two age groups after the age of 50
The highest decrease was in the 18-25 category, which saw a decrease of 10%, from 17% in 1990 to 7% in 2010 42% of people in the 36-50 age group gave to charity in 1990, the highest on the chart, and this fell to 35%
in 2010 There was also a significant decline in donations among 26-35 year olds, from 31% to 24%
The exception to this general trend downwards was among the 51-65 year olds and over 65s In 2010, the 51-65 year olds gave the highest percentage with nearly 40 percent and this rose from 35% in 1990 Finally, those over
65 displayed a slight percentage increase of 3 percent

2 PIE CHARTS
The pie charts compare the amount of electricity created from five different sources of fuel in France in 1990 and 2010 These were oil, coal, natural gas, hydro power and nuclear power
Trang 2Overall, the use of nuclear power for generating electricity in France increased considerably, however, the use of natural gas declined sharply over the two decades In addition, oil and coal saw declines and hydro power showed a slight decrease in consumption
Nuclear power as a source of energy stood at 17% in 1990, however, it showed a marked increase by 2010 making up 67% of electricity
production in France In contrast, natural gas saw a big drop in supply from 28% in 1990 to only 4% in 2010, a drop of 24% in a twenty year period Hydro power was the least popular form of energy in 1990 and 2010
Similarly, oil and coal saw declines Oil accounted for 22% of electricity production in 1990, but by 2010 this accounted for 13% Coal followed this pattern and stood at 13% as a source of fuel for electricity,
compared to 28% in 1990 It is clear that nuclear power became the most relied on form of energy for producing electricity in the two
decades from 1990 to 2010
3 BAR CHART
The bar chart illustrates the gross domestic product generated from the IT and Service Industry in the UK from 1992 to 2000 It is measured in
percentages
Overall, it can be seen that both increased as a percentage of GDP, but IT remained at a higher rate throughout this time
At the beginning of the period, in 1992, the Service Industry accounted for
4 per cent of GDP, whereas IT exceeded this, at just over 6 per cent Over
Trang 3the next four years, the levels became more similar, with both components standing between 6 and just over 8 per cent IT was still higher overall, though it dropped slightly from 1994 to 1996
However, over the following four years, the patterns of the two
components were noticeably different The percentage of GDP from IT increased quite sharply to 12 in 1998 and then nearly 15 in 2000, while the Service Industry stayed nearly the same, increasing to only 8 per cent At the end of the period, the percentage of GDP from IT was almost twice that
of the Service Industry

4 LINE GRAPH
The graph gives information about Burnaby Public Library between 2011 and 2014 It shows how many library books people read over this four-year period
As can be seen from the graph, there were different trends for men and women The number of books read by men increased steadily between
2011 and 2012, from about 3000 to 4000 After that, the number rose dramatically to 14000 books in 2014 This was the highest figure in the period
Women started off reading more books than men, but their numbers
followed a different pattern Between 2011 and 2012, there was an
increase of 3000 from 5000 books to 8000 books, and then a gradual rise to
10000 books in 2013 However, in 2014, their numbers fell back to 8000 again
Trang 4Overall, there was a strong upward trend in the number of books read by men Although women read more books than men in 2011, their reading fell to below the level of men in 2014
5 TABLE
The table illustrates the breakdown of scores for the IELTS General Test in
2010 It shows separate scores for all four modules (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), together with the overall band scores for students from four different language groups around the world
From an overall perspective, German speakers achieved the highest overall band score Moreover, they scored the highest of all four language groups
in three modules of the test (Listening, Writing, Speaking)
French speaking candidates scored the second highest overall score of 6.7 out of 9, closely followed by Malay and Indonesian speakers Although French speakers did not do so well in the Reading, Speaking and Listening modules compared to Indonesian and Malay speakers, there was a
significant difference in their grades for the Writing module These grades were high relative to Indonesian and Malay candidates Surprisingly, Malay speakers, who achieved the second lowest result overall, achieved the highest results of all four language groups for the Reading module
As a final point, it is interesting to note that the scores for each module show that all students, on average, scored the highest marks for the
Speaking module and the lowest marks for the Reading module
