It highlights trends such as the decline in butter and margarine consumption while low fat spreads increased, and notes that the UK spent more on consumer goods overall, particularly on cars and cameras. Additionally, it includes instructions for completing an incomplete graph and writing a description based on the provided data.

Description of a Graph

Preparation for 1st Daily Test – GAC 008

I. Completing the Description of a Graph

Read the description of the graph for Consumption of Spreads, and complete the missing information using the
graph.

The line graph illustrates the amount of three kinds of spreads (margarine, butter, and low fat and reduced spreads)
which were consumed from 1981 to 2007. Units are measured in grams.

Overall, the consumption of margarine and butter decreased over the period given, while for low fat and reduced
spreads, it rose. At the start of the period, butter was the most popular spread. Margarine was the most widely
consumed in the middle of the period but, by the end, low fat and reduced spreads was most popular.

With regards to the amount of butter used, it began at around 140 grams and then peaked at 160 grams in 1986
falling dramatically to about 50 grams in the last year. Likewise, approximately 90 grams of margarine was eaten in
the first year, after which the figure fluctuated slightly and dropped to a low of 40 grams in 2007.

On the other hand, the consumption of low fats and reduced spreads only started in 1996 at about 10 grams. This
figure, which reached a high of just over 80 grams five years later, fell slightly in the final years to approximately 70
grams in 2007.

II. The graph is incomplete. Read the paragraph description, and complete the graph as a bar graph.

The chart illustrates the amount of money spent on five consumer goods (cars, computers, books, perfume and
cameras) in France and the UK in 2010. Units are measured in pounds sterling.
Overall, the UK spent more money on consumer goods than France in the period given. Both the British and the
French spent most of their money on cars whereas the least amount of money was spent on perfume in the UK
compared to cameras in France. Furthermore, the most significant difference in expenditure between the two
countries was on cameras.

In terms of cars, people in the UK spent about £450,000 on this as opposed to the French at £400,000. Similarly, the
British expenditure was higher on books than the French (around £400,000 and £300,000 respectively). In the UK,
expenditure on cameras (just over £350,000) was over double that of France, which was only £150,000.

On the other hand, the amount of money paid out on the remaining goods was higher in France. Above £350,000
was spent by the French on computers which was slightly more than the British who spent exactly £350,000.
Neither of the countries spent much on perfume which accounted for £200,000 of expenditure in France but under
£150,000 in the UK.
