The given chart illustrates the amount of money that was spent
on different shopping facilities in in four different countries
including Belguim, Spain, Austria, and Britain in 2012.
Overall, Britain ranked highest with the highest spending on all
categories, with cameras being the most purchased items in all
given countries.
Regarding the top and lowest spenders, it is obvious that British
people spent the highest amount of money on shopping, with
figures ranging between about 156 thousand pounds for game
consoles and 170 thousand pounds for cameras. By contrast,
with a total outlay of less than 150 thousand pounds for each
item, it is apparent that Belgians spent the least on all
categories excluding cosmetics and outdoor game equipment
where they ranked the second lowest, with a spending budget of
about 148 and 150 thousand pounds.
As regards the two remaining countries, Austrians’ outlay for
books, toys and cameras was the second largest, with 157
thousand pounds for the two former and 166 thousand for the
latter, while the figures for the remaining categories were the
lowest at less than 145 thousand pounds. With insignificant
discrepancies across categories, the Spanish expensed between
150 and 157 thousand pounds on each category, and their
spending ranked first in terms of cosmetics and outdoor
equipment, at about 158 thousand pounds.
The line graph represents immigrants' intended duration of stay in the
UK from 2000 to 2008. The pie chart demonstrates the reasons behind
migration to the UK in 2008.
Overall, an upward trend was seen in the number of
people who planned to live in the UK for up to 2
year or from 2 to 4 year while those who stayed
more than 4 year remained unchanged during the
period. Moreover, work and study were the two
factors that caused migration in 2008.
Looking closely at the graph, it is evident that short-term
immigrants constituted the largest segment. Initially, this
group was around 150,000 strong in 2000, swelling steadily
to peak at 250,000 by 2004, with this figure remaining static
until 2008. In contrast, immigrants intending to stay for four
years or longer maintained a consistent population of
150,000 throughout the period. Meanwhile, a smaller group,
planning a two to four-year stay, showed a modest growth
from 50,000 in 2000 to 100,000 in 2008.
The pie chart reveals that 38% of all immigrants came for
work,making it the most prominent . ranked second
accounting for 32% of all immigrants, followed by
accompany/join family at 16%. Other reasons and those who
did not respond both made up 7% of the total.
Looking initially at Country A, although house prices started the highest at
about $140000, they were overtaken by Country B in 1998, but soon regained
the leading status after 2 years. From 2000, prices soared almost continually,
reaching a high point of roughly $625000 in 2014, despite a notable dip from
2002 through to 2006.
Regarding housing prices in Country B and C, both maintained relatively
stable growth throughout. The prices in these countries both began at
approximately $125000, but since 1998, the gap started to widen. Country B
rose dramatically, reaching its high of just over $500000 in 2012 while the
other country peaked at about $300000 in 2013. Interestingly, both countries
saw a huge drop in 2008 and a marginal decline at the end of the period.
The line chart illustrates variations in average house prices in Countries A, B
and C from 1997 to 2014.
