The line graph shows the change of the generation of electricity in France in 32 years, from

1980.
Overall, it is clear that electricity production from nuclear was higher than that from the
others. The amount of electricity which was made from renewables is lowest.
In 1980, about 120 terawatt hours of electricity was produced from thermal power. In the
same year, nuclear and hydroelectricity stations produced around 75 TWh of electricity each.
Renewable energy provided a negligible amount. One year later, nuclear energy overtook
thermal power to become the primary source of electricity.
From 1980 to 2005, the electricity production by nuclear increased constantly and reached a
peak of 430 terawatt hours. In contrast, the figure for thermal energy declined to only 50
terawatt hours in 1985 and remained relatively stable in the rest of the period. The production
of electricity from hydroelectric source was nearly/almost unchanged, at proximately 50 TWh
and 80 TWh. Renewable source almost generated none electricity until the last 5 years of the
period mentioned. ( The amount of electricity produced from renewable power rose slightly
during the last seven years.)

Task1 b

The line graph indicates the amount of Fast Food consumed by Australian youth in 25 years,
beginning from 1975.
Overall, the trend was to move away from Fish and Chips to Pizza and Hamburgers.
Hamburgers became the dominant kind of food toward the end of the period.
In 1975, Fish and Chips was the favourite fast food of teenagers, with 100 times eaten per
year. The number of Hamburgers and Pizza consumption is negligible, around 5 and 10 times
per year. After 5 years, Fish and Chips remained the first rank, although the number of times
for consuming decreased to 85 times. Meanwhile, Pizza and Hamburger started being eaten
more than they before, respectively at 15 times and 50 times annually.
From 1980 to the end, Fish and Chips consumption dropped sharply to only 40 times per year,
despite the slight recover to reach the peak at about 95 times in 1985. Hamburgers continued
being eaten more and overpassed Fish and Chips at 90 times in 1985 to become the
favourable fast food at 100 times eaten each year. Pizza followed Hamburgers’ upward trend,
growing from 15 times eaten in 1980 to more than 80 times in 1995. This number of times for
Pizza remained for 5 years later.

Task 1 – Bar chart

The bar chart indicates the proportion of men, women and children in the UK that ate the
suggested amount of fruits and vegetables regularly over the 8 years starting from 2002.
Overall, the percentages of all three groups increased until 2006 when they reach their peak,
before declining slightly by 2010. Women consistently had the highest proportion of
consumption, while children accounted for the lowest throughout the period.
In 2002, one-fourth of female absorbed the suggested daily amount. The percentage of UK
male in the same year was 22%, which was twice the figure for children. Four years later,
these proportions rose noticeably, with women reaching 32%, men increasing to 28% and
children growing to 16%.
However, in 2010, there was a slight decrease among all categories. Women’s percentage fell
to 27%, despite remaining the most consuming group. The figures of men and children
declined to 24% and 14%, respectively. In spite of the downward trend, the figures in the last
year mentioned were higher than in 2002.

Task 1, lesson 7
The pie charts indicate the proportion of employees working in various jobs in Ashby, a town
in the UK and in the UK as a whole in 2008.
Overall, personal service was the most common job sector in Ashby, while office work was
the most popular occupation in the UK. Additionally, the distribution of job sectors in the UK
was relatively balanced, whereas professional work accounted for the smallest proportion in
Ashby.
In 2008, more than one-fifth of people in Ashby worked in personal service, meanwhile the
figure for this sector in the whole of the UK was 17%. The percentage of office workers in
both Ashby and the nation were nearly similar, accounting for 18-19%. There was only 8%
professional employees in Ashby, which was around a half that figure in the entire country.
Technical work in Ashby was not a favored job, making up for only 9%. However, this was a
relatively popular sector nationwide, taking up for 17%. The percentage of shopwork in the
town was similar to the figure for the UK as a whole, about 13-14%. In contrast, construction
accounted for 16% of jobs in Ashby, which was 6% higher than the figure for the UK. The
percentage of the unemployed in the town was 14%, slightly higher than that in the UK,
accounting for 10%.

Task 1, lesson 7
The pie charts indicate the proportion of employees working in various jobs in Ashby – a
town of UK and in the UK entirely in 2008.
Overall, 2008 witnessed personal service dominated in Ashby and office work was the
popular occupation in all the nation. The proportions of sectors in the UK were quite
balanced. The lowest percentage of workers in Ashby was professional work.
In 2008, more than one-fifth people in Ashby worked in personal service, meanwhile this
figure for this sector in the whole of the UK was 17%. The percentages of office workers in
both Ashby and the nation were nearly similar, accounting for 18-19%. There was only 8%
professional employees in Ashby, which was around a half that figure in the total country.
Technical work in Ashby was not a favored job, making up for only 9%. However, this was a
relatively popular domestic work, taking up for 17%. The percentage of shopwork in the town

16% of employees in Ashby worked in, that figure was more than the proportion in the nation
by 6%. The percentage of the unemployed in the town was 14% was slightly higher than that
in the UK, accounting for 10%.

Task 1 – Lesson 9
The table indicates the change of the typical earnings and the expenditure for food and clothes
by a normal household in the city in the UK, meanwhile the pie charts illustrate the allocation
of the budget on a variety of products from 2010 to 2013.
Overall, regarding to the table, the income of the average family in the UK’s city witnessed a
decrease after the period, in contrast, the amount of money spent on food and clothes
decreased slightly. Specifically, vegetables and fruit, as well as meat and fish was popular
product, compared with other food and clothes in the pie charts.
As the table describes, in 2010, the average revenue of the normal household in the urban of
the UK was nearly 30000. In the same year, almost half of the money was spent on food and
clothes. Although the regular income of the model family mentioned saw a sharp decrease by
5000 after three years, the UK household paid more for food and clothing, at 15000.
About the pie charts, meat and fish was the kind of food spent most in 2010, accounting for
nearly 30%. Fruit and vegetables made up a relatively large part of the budget, above 25%.
The distribution of the consumption for dairy products, clothes and other food was quite
equal, at about 12 -18%. After three years, the allocation of budget for section had some
changes. The trend of consumption moved away from meat and fish to fruit and vegetables,
despite the big share of both in all remaining at 23% and 30% in order. The figure for
products made by milk and butter rose slightly to 16 %, above half the percentage of fruit and
vegetables. On the other hand, only 13% of earnings was spent on clothes as a negligible
decline by 2%. Meanwhile, the percent figure for clothing share retained at around one fifth.
