C/ EXAMPLE
1. INTRODUCTION
The bar chart illustrates how much money was paid on 5 different kinds of goods, namely
cars, computers, books, perfume and camera by the French and the British in 2010.
2. OVERVIEW
Overall, the amount of money spent on cars in both countries was the highest among all 5
categories examined. In addition, the most significant difference in expenditure of these
countries can be seen in cameras.
3. BODY
*Approach 1: By categories
Regarding aspects that were spent more by the British than the French, spending on cars in
the former country was the highest on the whole chart, at 450,000 pounds sterling (ps),
while that in the latter was relatively lower, at 400,000 ps. A larger disparity can be seen in
books. This goods received an amount of 400,000 ps by people in the UK, which was
100,000 ps higher than by people in France. The biggest gap can be observed in cameras,
with the British and the French allocating just over 350,000 ps and 150,000 ps on this good,
respectively.
Moving to the remaining commodities, the expense on perfume in the UK was the lowest
among all categories, at just under 150,000 ps, compared to 200,000 ps in France. Finally,
expenditure on computers in both countries was relatively similar, at around 350,000 ps.
* Approach 2: By countries
Regarding France, people in this country pay the most on cars, at 400,000 pounds sterling
(ps), followed closely by computers, at about 380,000 ps. Expenditure on books and
perfume was lower, at 300,000 ps and 200,000 ps, respectively. Cameras were paid the least
by the French, at just only 150,000 ps.
As for the United Kingdom, cars were also the commodity spent the most on by people in
this country, at 450,000 ps, which was 50,000 ps higher than books. A similarity can be seen
in the spending on computers and cameras, both at around 350,000 ps. Finally, perfume
was the lowest, which just accounted for under 150,000 ps of expenditure of people in the
UK.

E/ ADVANCED EXAMPLE
The table illustrates which type of TV programs young people in different age brackets in a
country in Europe preferred in 2012.
Overall, only feature films and sports were similarly popular across the three age groups,
while clear differences were seen in the other types of TV programs.
Looking first at feature films and sports, the former was the most popular among 15-20-
year-olds, at 23%, and the figures for those aged 21-25 and 11-15 were slightly lower, at
20% and 18% respectively. The opposite pattern was seen in sports programs. 22% of 11-15-
year-olds and 21-25-year-olds preferred these programs, while only 18% of people in the
15-20 age group did so.
In the case of cartoons, preference levels dropped significantly with age, from 29% among
11-15-year-olds to only 4% among 21-25-year-olds. The reverse pattern was observed in
news programs, with figures rising from 6% to 23%. TV dramas also saw a rising trend, but
to a lesser extent, from 8% of those aged 11-15 to 19%of those aged 21-25.
As for soap operas, those in the ages of 11-15 and 21-25 have a similar level of preference,
at around 18%, compared to 12% of those aged 15-20.
