The line graph illustrates how Australia exported its products to four countries, including

Japan, the US, China, and India, between 1990 and 2012.

Overall, there was an increase in the proportion of Australian exports to India and China,
with the most dramatic rise being seen in the latter, making it the largest export
destination for Australia by the end of the period. In contrast, exports to the US and
Japan experienced a decrease over the given timeframe.

Looking at the chart in more detail, in 1990, among the four destinations, India and China
were the smallest export partners for Australia, with negligible figures of 1% and 2%,
respectively. Thereafter, China's importance significantly increased over the period, as
the percentage of exports to this country steadily rose to 5% by 2000, before surging
more than fivefold to 27% in the final year. Likewise, India maintained a marginal
presence in Australia's export market, at just 1% for the first decade, after which its share
slightly increased, reaching a peak of 7% in 2010, before falling back to 5% two years
later.

With regard to the remaining countries, in the first year, Japan was the leading
destination shown for Australian goods, with more than a quarter of total exports going
there, twice the figure for the US, at 11%. In the following years, the figures for Japan fell
to 17%, and stayed unchanged in the two final years. Similarly, the share of Australian
exports to the US underwent a downward fluctuation throughout the period, bottoming
out at 5% in 2010 before a modest recovery to 7% by the end of the period.
The line graph gives information about the proportion of American workers employed in
various sectors from 1930 to 2010.

Overall, throughout the given period, the industrial, technical, and sales and office
sectors emerged as major employers. In contrast, there was a sharp downward trend in
the agricultural sector, falling from by far the most popular sector to the least by the end
of the timeframe.

Regarding industries that gained in popularity, in 1930, virtually no Americans were


engaged in industrial and technical jobs, and only 10% pursued sales and office
occupations. Thereafter, after having remained consistent until 1960, the industrial
sector began attracting more workers, with its percentages rising gradually, ending up
at its highest level of nearly 35% in both 2000 and 2010. Similar upward trends were also
witnessed in technical and sales and office positions, as their participation rates
underwent steady increases overall, to around 30% and 20% respectively in the final
year, making them the second and third most common occupations.

On the other hand, despite being the dominant industry in 1930, with approximately 75%
of the labour force employed in farming, fishing and foresting, this sector saw a dramatic
drop over the years, reaching a low of only 5% in 2010. Finally, the percentage of workers
in other services rose from 10% to 15% in the first decade, then then fell back to a
relatively stable level of around 10% for the rest of the period. (240 words)
The line graph presents data on the number of foreign visitors to the UK from 1989 to
2009, categorized into the three purposes of their visits.

Overall, all three reasons experienced a rise in visitor numbers. Additionally, for the most
part, holiday was the most common reason for people going to the UK, while meeting
friends and relatives was the least common one.

At the beginning of the period, 5 million people traveled to the UK for their business trips,
which was much higher than the figure for meeting friends and relatives, which was only
about 3.5 million. Thereafter, the former purpose witnessed a decline to around 4 million
people in 1991, before markedly recovering to a peak of 8 million in 2008, finally falling by
1 million in 2009. An upward trend was also witnessed in visits for meeting friends and
relatives, as its figures underwent gradual growth, increasing twofold from 1989 to 7
million in 2008, before receding to just under 6 million people at the end of the given
period.

On the other hand, a more volatile pattern was observed in holiday trips. The number of
people traveling to the UK for this purpose started at 6.5 million, followed by a rise of
nearly 2.5 million people in 1995, before falling back by the same amount in 2004.
Subsequently, this category saw a recovery in numbers, reclaiming its lead and reaching
a high of 9 million again in the final year. (244 words)
The bar chart presents information on the percentage of individuals in the UK residing in
households of various sizes in the years 1981 and 2001.

Overall, the data illustrates a trend towards smaller households in the UK over this
20-year period, with an increase in the proportions of 1- and 2-person households, while
the other groups showed a downward trend. Meanwhile, in both years, the most common
living arrangement comprised 2 individuals.

Overall, the data illustrates a trend towards smaller households in the UK over this
20-year period, with an increase in the proportions of 1- and 2-person households, while
the other groups showed a downward trend. Meanwhile, in both years, the most common
living arrangement comprised 2 individuals.

Starting with smaller households, which were almost half of all respondents in 1981,
single-person households accounted for 17% of all homes, which was only half that of
those with 2 residents, at 31%. This highest proportion was followed by 3-person and
4-person households, with respective figures of 20% and 18%, while households with 5
and 6 occupants were significantly less common, standing at 8% and 6% respectively.

By 2001, one and two-person households had both become even more common, making
up a quarter and a third of all homes, respectively. In contrast, households with 3 and 4
individuals saw decreases of 3% each, to 17% and 15% of households, in that order.
Larger households, specifically those with 5 and 6 occupants, also experienced a
decline, falling to 6% and 2% respectively at the end of the period. (209 words)
The graph provides information about the number of trips to school made by different
modes of transportation by children aged 5 to 12 in a particular country in 1990 and
2020.

Overall, there was a shift from active means of transport towards more passive ones,
with walking being the most popular method in the former year, whereas car use became
more preferred 30 years later.

Initially, in 1990, over 12 million trips to school were made on foot, but this figure had
reduced by half to around 6 million by 2020. In contrast, in 1990, although schoolchildren
in this country used cars the least for their daily commutes, at about 4 million times. The
use of cars surged, surpassing that of walking, making it by far the most widely used
means with about 11.5 million trips in 2020.

Despite journey numbers decreasing from 7 to 5 million over 30 years, taking the bus
remained the second and third most common means of transport in 1990 and 2020
respectively. Meanwhile, the least chosen modes were cycling and a combination of
walking and bus usage, with their figures standing at the same level of 6 million in the
first year before undergoing a decline of 4 million and 3 million trips, respectively in
2020. (212 words)
The table illustrates the changes in visitor numbers from overseas to 9 countries, in both
absolute and relative terms, in two consecutive years, namely 2009 and 2010.

more tourists in 2010. In addition, France was the most popular destination, while the
most significant growth was seen in Germany.

Regarding the most visited nations, in 2009, France topped the list at 76 million visitors,
which remained unchanged in the following year. While 66 million people traveled to the
US, Spain and the UK both attracted 55 million tourists, which was 11 million higher than
Italy. An increase from 1 to 2 million was subsequently witnessed in these four countries,
equivalent to 1.5% to 3.6% growth.

With regard to the remaining countries, the number of foreign visitors to Turkey was 33
million, 11 million higher than that of China, which in turn outnumbered the next country,
Germany, by the same margin. There was a rise of 12 million in the figures for all the three
nations, with their relative growth being 33%, 55% and 109%, respectively.

Hong Kong was the least appealing tourist destination, with its numbers declining from
10 to 9 million in 2010, representing a drop of 11%. (212 words)
The bar charts give information about the percentages of Australian men and women
who were employed across three different age brackets (15-19, 35-44, 60-64) in the
years 1984, 2001, and 2014.

Overall, employment rates among men were generally higher than those of their female
counterparts. In addition, over the period, there was an increase in participation in the
labour force of both women as a whole and individuals in their early 60s.

Looking first at the data for women, in 1984, around 60% of both the 15-19 and 35-44
groups had jobs, which was significantly higher than the eldest group's rate of 10%.
Subsequently, the figures for the teenage group remained stable over the next 30 years.
In contrast, the other two groups witnessed a rise in employment, as the percentage of
working women from their mid-thirties to mid-forties progressively increased to 80%,
and that of 60-64-year-olds surged to 45% over the same period.

Regarding the data pertaining to men, in the first year, the highest employment rate was
recorded for those from 35 to 44, with 95% of them being employed, more than double
the 60-64-year-olds, at only 40%. In comparison, the figure for 15-19-year-olds was
between the two, at 60%. In 2001, the employment status remained unchanged across
all groups. In the final year, the 35-44 age bracket still ranked first at the same rate,
while the other two groups saw differing trends, with the rate for teenage males
dropping to 50% and that of those in their early 60s rising to 60%. (255 words)
