expenditure was recorded in cameras.

In 2010, the expenditure on cars in the UK reached over 450,000 pounds, followed closely by
France’s expenditure of 400,000 pounds. Moreover, the allocation of money on books in the UK
was also significant, at more than 400,000 pounds, while that of France was about a quarter
lower, at 300,000 pounds. The highest difference in spending was seen in cameras, while
approximately 350,000 pounds was the expense in the UK, this figure for France was much
lower, only roughly 150,000 pounds.

Meanwhile, France exhibited higher spending on computers and perfume. French consumers

Exercise 2:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons

Write at least 150 words.

The graph below shows the percentage of people going to cinemas in one European country
on different days.

The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people going to movies in a particular European nation from
Monday to Sunday in the years 2003, 2005, and 2007.

Overall, people showed a preference for going to cinemas on Fridays and weekends over other
weekdays during all three years. In addition, the percentage of cinema attendances on Saturdays was
the highest, while the figure for Friday remained unchanged in the three given years.

In 2003, the proportions of people who visited the cinemas on Saturdays and Sundays were 40% and
30%, respectively. These numbers then rose by nearly 5% in 2005 before dropping by about 2% in 2007.
On the other hand, the figure for Fridays remained constant at 30% in three years.

Meanwhile, there were only 10% of people going to movies on Mondays in 2003, making it the least
preferred day in that year. Following that, this figure grew to around 12% in 2007 despite falling by
approximately 4% in 2005. Similarly, the proportion of visitors on Thursdays increased minimally by
roughly 2% between 2003 and 2007, although the year 2005 recorded a decrease to about 8%. The
percentage of movie-goers fluctuated between 17% and 20% on Tuesdays, while that of Wednesdays
saw a downward trend from 16% in 2003 to 9% in 2007.
