II. While-writing
Model answer for the pie charts:
The two pie charts illustrate the proportions of contribution of different industry sectors to the
economy of Turkey in 2000 and 2016.

Overall, there is a wide disparity in the proportions of each sector between 2000 and 2016. In
2000, construction contributed the least to the economy of Turkey, and agriculture was the most
significant economic sector. In comparison, in 2016, healthcare and education became the
largest economic segment, and the lowest contribution was made by financial, business, and
other services.

Construction sector accounted for 3% of Turkey's economy in 2000 and experienced a more
than threefold increase to one-tenth in 2016. Economic income from trade, utilities, and
transportation was 14% in 2000 and experienced a slight growth of 2% in 2016. In 2000,
manufacturing and finance, business, and other services made up 8% and 5% of Turkey's
economy, respectively, and these figures rose to 12% and 8% in 2016.

Agriculture, which comprised almost a quarter of Turkey's economy in 2000, fell to 14% in 2016.
In 2000, economic outputs from government and leisure and hospitality sectors were at 12%
and 17%, respectively, and both decreased by 3% after the 16-year period. In contrast, the
contribution from healthcare and education sector remained constant in both years at 17%.

III. Post-writing
Model answer for the pie charts:
1. Sample answer:
The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures in 2016 for a children's charity in
the USA.
It can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority of the income, while program
services was responsible for the highest expenditure. The total revenue sources generally
exceeded outgoings.
In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly, with
regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all of the
outgoings, at 95.8%. The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which
were the second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was
followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and other
income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.
The other two expenditure items, fundraising and management and general, accounted for 2.6%
and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was $53,561,580, which was just enough to
cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.

2. Sample answer:
The pie charts illustrate the ages of people employed in the UK public sector during two years,
2015 and 2020.
Overall, while the percentage of those employed in their 20s and 40s increased, employment for
other ages groups, particularly the over 50s, fell.
Turning first to the younger age groups, although the employment of workers under 21 fell from
14% in 2015 to 12% in 2020, the overall number of workers under 30 actually rose because of
the surge in employment of 21-30-year-olds, which increased significantly from 23% to
33%. Similarly, the number of employees over the age of 40 climbed from 19% in 2015 to 28%
by 2020.
However, other groups saw quite significant falls in employment. For 31-40-year-olds, the
employment figure plummeted from 21% in 2015 to just 11% by 2020, which represented a
substantial drop of more than 50% in relative terms. Likewise, the employment of over 50s
declined, though not by quite so much, standing at 23% in 2015 and 16% in 2020.
