2.Sample

①The graph provides information on the percentage of people aged 65 and above in three countries, namely Japan, Sweden and the USA during the period 1940 to 2040. ②It can be seen that the USA had the highest proportion of aged population before 1995, overtaken by Sweden from that year to 2040, when Japan is predicted to prevail.

③The first five decades and a half witnessed a sharp increase in both the USA and Sweden, where the proportion of aged population started from 9% and 7% respectively, and reached the same level of slightly below 15% in 1995. ④By contrast, Japan presented a different trend, declining from 5% to 3% in 1960 and stabilised for more than two decades since then.

⑤After 1995, while the Sweden and Japan is estimated to rise to 18% and 10% respectively by 2030, the figures for USA will remain steady at around 15%. ⑥However, the last decade will see a surge in all the three countries, to 26% in Japan, 25% in Sweden and 24% in the USA.

⑦Overall, the proportion of elder people in the three countries was close at both the beginning and the final years, whereas the gap widened in years in between them.

①The two bar charts indicate the number of marriages and divorces in the USA and the percentage of adults in four different marital status from 1970 to 2000.

②According to the first chart, there were 2.5 million of marriages in 1970. ③This number stabilised for one decade, yet declined afterwards to 2 million in 2000. ④As for the number of divorces, it was about half of marriages in each of the given years, rising from 1 million to 1.4 million in the first decade, and dropping back to 1 million in the final year.

⑤The second chart indicates that although the majority of the adult Americans were married in both 1970 and 2000, the rate had fallen from 70% to 60%. ⑥In contrast, the percentage of adults who had never married by 2000 showed a rise from 12% to 20%. ⑦In terms of the widowed and divorced adults, the proportion remained below 10% in both years. ⑧Despite the small proportion, divorce rate presented a remarkable growth, from 2% to 9%.

⑨Overall, as the number of marriages declined during the three decades, the proportion of married adults also shrank. ⑩Meanwhile, divorces being relatively stable in number, their rate presented an obvious rise.

①The line graph shows the information of how many goods were delivered by four different means of transport, namely, road, water, rail and pipeline, in the UK from 1974 to 2002. ②Over this span of nearly 30 years, the quantities transported by all the means had generally increased with the only exception in rail whose figure had kept at the level of more or less around 40 million tonnes.

③Road had transported the highest quantities of goods at all time in the graph, with 72 million tonnes in 1974 rising moderately to just under 100 million tonnes in 2002. ④Pipeline showed a different trend. ⑤Being the least used means to transport goods, it experienced two long stable periods: one from the early 1980s to the early 1990s, and the other during the last 7 years in the graph, though the figure in 2002 was a roughly 5-fold climb compared with that in 1974.

⑥Goods transported through water and rail started at the same level at 40 million tonnes and had stayed there within the first four years. ⑦Since then, the former had went up gradually by a further 20 million all the way to 2002; while the latter returned to 40 million tonnes after two decades of fluctuations within 20 million tonnes to 40 million tonnes.

⑧To sum up, road was the most preferred means of transporting goods, followed by water and rail. ⑨Pipeline lied the last among all.

①The four pie charts show how the population of three different age groups in Yemen and Italy is likely to change over a 50-year period from 2000 to 2050. ②Generally, the group of 15-59 years old constituted and is predicted to constitute the largest portion of more or less than half in both of the countries, except that the percentage was only slightly lower than its younger counterpart in Yemen in 2000. ③While this figure is projected to increase by a 10% or so in Yemen, it will experience a noticeable decrease from 61.6% to 46.2% in Italy.

④Looking at the other two age groups, the oldest one made up with people from 60 years old above in either Yemen or Italy tends to show an upward trend, rising gently from 3.6% to 5.7% in the former whereas considerably from 24.1% to 42.3% in the latter. ⑤The youngest group under 14 years old accounted for slightly over a half in 2000 in Yemen, reducing to just under 40% five decades later. ⑥In Italy, similarly, this figure is predicted to drop by 3% in 2050 when it will occupy a bit over one-tenth of the whole population.

①The two pie charts indicate the change in the proportion of students who can speak other languages apart from English in one university in England in 2000 and 2010. ②It can be seen that the total proportion of students speaking languages other than English had increased over the given period.

③According to the charts, the second languages that students in that university were able to speak mainly consisted of French, German and Spanish, with Spanish being the most popular one. ④30% of the students spoke Spanish, while only half of that proportion spoke French and 1/3 spoke German. ⑤Then in contrast to the increase in Spanish only by 5% in 2010, French showed a 5% decline and German stayed unchanged.

⑥There are three other sectors: no other language, another language and two other languages. ⑦A remarkable drop can be seen in students who speak no other language, from 20% to 10%, while those who speak one or two other languages rose respectively from 15% to 20%, and from 10% to 15%.

⑧Overall, despite Spanish being the dominating second language during the given period, the students’choices tend to be diversified.

①The line graph compares the average amount of emitted carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per head in the UK, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007. ②It is worth noting that the CO 2 emission in Britain was consistently higher than any other three countries throughout the entire period as listed while that in Portugal was continuously the least.

③In the year of 1967, it is clear that the UK was main culprit of CO 2 releaser with around 11 metric tonnes per person, closely followed by Sweden at roughly 9 metric tonnes. ④Italy and Portugal contributed far less CO 2 than the former, at only 4 metric tonnes and about 1 metric tonne respectively.

⑤In the next forty years, the figure for greenhouse gas in all four countries experienced completely contrasting trends. ⑥United Kingdom witnessed a gradual drop in its figure and reached its historically low point in the year of 2007 at around 9 metric tonnes while the number in Sweden also declined in general despite a soar from 1967 to 1977, approaching 10.5 metric tonnes as its ultimate point. ⑦By contrast, the volume of CO 2 produced by Italy exceeded that of Sweden in 1987 and then increased significantly to around 8 metric tonnes in the next ten years, and that in Portugal rose to 5.5 metric tonnes which resembled the figure for Sweden in 2007.

⑧To sum up, UK still topped in the rank of CO 2 release while the gap among four countries provided narrowed considerably across the whole period.

①The bar chart shows how generous five different British age groups were when it came to monetary donation to charity in two separate years of 1990 and 2010. ②From the graph, we can see that while the percentage of British under the age of 50 all experienced a downward trend, the opposite was true with it over 50 years old.

③To be specific, just over 15% of the youngest group donated money in 1990, more than halving to slightly over 5% 20 years later. ④With a decreasing trend in both, the other two groups with the age of 26-35 years old and 36-50 years old respectively showed a relatively marginal drop by around 5%, though the latter was the biggest donor in 1990 which accounted for more than two-fifths of all.

⑤Turning to the two older counterparts that had their proportions of donors climb with a moderate range, those in their 50s and early 60s took the second place with over one-third in 1990. ⑥This figure rose to rank the first after 20 years when it made up nearly 40%.

⑦It is clear that compared with people from 36 years old and above in Britain who were the major contributors to charity, those under it made less significant contribution.

2.Sample

①The bar graph gives an overview of how three kinds of Southland’s main exports changed between 2000 and 2015 and the predictions in 2025. ②Over the first 15 years, profits made from international tourism and dairy products had both increased while those from meat products had decreased. ③The year 2025 is expected to see a continuous upturn in international tourism but a downward trend in two of its counterparts.

④To be more precise, international tourism experienced a gradual rise of 1 billion pounds in 2015 to reach almost 9 billion pounds. ⑤A further 1 billion is forecast ten years later in 2025. ⑥In contrast, the export of meat products saw an opposite trend. ⑦This figure declined from 6 billion pounds to 5.5 billion pounds and the decline will not stop until 2025, when it represents only 5 billion pounds. ⑧Dairy goods is the only category that shows a fluctuation in its export. ⑨Starting at nearly 7 billion pounds in 2000, it significantly climbed to peak at slightly under 10 billion pounds but is likely to drop marginally to 9.5 billion pounds after a decade.

⑩From the graph, we can see that meat products are much less exported in Southland in either of the three years than the other two exported items.

①The two pies give information about how online sales for four different retail sectors changed in New Zealand in 2003 and 2013. ②Over this span of ten years, the sales figures in books and film/music had both increased while those in travel and clothes had decreased correspondingly.

③To be more precise, only 19% of books were sold online in a retail manner, the smallest figure in that year of 2003. ④A slow rise of 3% could be seen in 2013 when it ranked the last but one. ⑤The biggest share of online sales in 2013 was taken up by film/music, which climbed significantly from slightly above one-fifth ten years ago.

⑥Two of their counterparts, namely, travel and clothing, saw an opposite trend. ⑦The former declined to under 30% in 2013, taking the second place of the four whereas in 2003, it accounted for over one-third of all, ranking the first. ⑧The amount of drop in the latter was quite close to that in travel, from 24% in 2003 to 16% a decade later.

⑨From the chart, we can see that online retail selling favoured travel, film and music more than the other two items.

2.Sample

①The line graph gives an overview of the changing rates of three different kinds of crimes in the inner city of Newport city between 2003 and 2012. ②Over this period of nine years, the number of incidents of burglary had decreased while that of car theft and robbery had both kept more or less constant, with the former at a little under 3,000 and the latter slightly above 500.

③To be more precise, burglary increased to reach its peak at about 3,750 incidents in 2004 before dropping rapidly through the next four years to hit the lowest point of over 1,000 incidents. ④The last four years saw a stable trend at under 1,500 incidents.

⑤In terms of stealing cars, this figure stabilised at fewer than 3,000 incidents from 2003 to 2005. ⑥The following year witnessed a plummet to the historic low of 2,000 incidents. ⑦There had been a gradual rise of 750 incidents across the subsequent 6-year period.

⑧Turning to theft from the person, it experienced ups and downs within the range between 500 and 1,000 incidents across the whole time period, with the smallest figure being found in 2008 at exactly 500 incidents while 2005 was the year when this crime was the most serious, approaching 1,000 incidents.

⑨From the graph, we can see that robbery was the kind of crime that happened the least frequently, compared with two of its counterparts.

①The bar chart gives an overview of how the yearly number of rentals and three formats of sales of films changed from 2002 to 2011 in a certain store. ②Over this span of nine years, rental and DVD sales had been two of the much more popular ways than two of their counterparts, namely, VHS sales which went into a total disappearance in 2006, and Blu-ray sales which was not seen until 2007.

③As to the only way of appreciating films other than buying, rentals had experienced a gradual and continuous decline in its number to over 50,000 in 2011, a drop of over two-thirds of its number in 2002.

④The number of DVD sales, on the other hand, increased sharply to reach its peak at over 200,000 in 2007, before decreasing step by step by 20,000 four years later. ⑤VHS was so popular that the sales of it outnumbered DVD by twice in 2002. ⑥It showed a downward trend in the next three successive years and finally was driven out of the market in 2006. ⑦Blu-ray was released into the market in 2007 but at that time, it was sold at a very low and ignorable level in this store. ⑧After slowly rising within the five-year period, it reached above 10,000 in 2011.
