The graph below shows the unemployment rates in the US and Japan between March 1993 and March
1999.
The line graph below compares the data on employed workforce in the USA and Japan between March 1993 and
March 1999.
Initially, the US reported the highest percentage of jobless people with 7 whereas, japan were at the lowest by 2.5, in 1993.
However, with some minor fluctuations, Japan experienced a gradual increase in 1998 and recorded the highest rates of
unemployment by 5.5. On the other hand, the proportion of the jobless workforce in the US fell gradually and record 5 in
1998.
Although, Japan started with the very low rates, but the country took over the USA and remained at 5 in 1999. In contrast,
the USA started with highest percentage, but it decreased over the period gradually, fell down and experienced the lowest
number by 5, same as Japan, in 1999.
Overall, the unemployment rate was higher in Japan, compared to the US. However, the proportion of workforce in Japan
rose steadily between March 1993 and March 1999, while the figure for America fell.
The diagram given is a multiple line graph comparing between the unemployment rates of US and Japan from
March 1993 to same month in 1999.
According to the graph, US unemployment rate shows a decreasing trend. In March 1993, percentage of workforce in US
was about 7 percent. This number decreased to 5 percent in March 1999. During this time the rate did not fall steadily.
After every drop of more than 1%, it shows an increase of 0.5% in the same year.
The rate of unemployment of Japan shows an entirely different trend compared to the US. Its first recording in March 1993
was almost 2.5 percent. This gradually increased to approximately 4.5 % in March 1996. There was a sudden drop to less
than 4% before the next year. Till 1998, the percentage increased slightly till it reached its peak of more than 5%. The
value dropped again but later stabilized at 5% in the year 1999.
Hence, the trends of two countries shown in the diagram are exact opposite of each other. Although, both countries’ rates
of unemployment in March 1999 reached 5%.

The proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.
The graph gives some data about the proportion of the population aged just over 65 or 65 between 1940 and 2040
years in 3 various countries(USA, Sweden, Japan).
With regards to Japan, generally, the shows levelled off between 1960 and 1980 to each other with approximately just
under five in every one hundred and this per cent was the least. Finally, the maximum percentage was appreciated with
just over one-fourth of the population.
In terms of USA, Sweden, the statistic of both USA and Sweden increased sharply from 1940 to 2040, the least amount was
illustrated with approximately 7% in 1940 in Sweden, in contrast the high rate was shown with one-forth of population.
The percentage of USA equalled between 2000 and 2020 with just under fifteen in every one hundred.
Overall, units are measured with the per cent. The indexes of Sweden and USA fluctuated, on the other hand the pointer of
Japan developed dramatically in the last two decades. The high rate and the minimum result belonged to Japan and the
percentages of Sweden and Japan were relatively similar.
The line graph illustrates the change of the older people aged 65 and over from 1940 to 2040 in Japan, Sweden
and USA. During the 100 years, the trend is upward.
In 1940, the percentage of population aged 65 and over in USA was under 10%, then rose to 15% in 1980. The figure is
predicted that it will slightly fall to 14% in 2020 but go up to under 25% in 2040. The trend of Sweden is similar with USA.
The proportion will increase to over 25% in 2040.
The percentage of the older people aged 65 and over in Japan was the least in three countries with 5%. The was a slightly
drop between 1940 and 1980 then the figure climbed to 5% again in 2000. The percentage is predicted that it will
remarkably rocket to 10% and 27% in 2020 and 2040 respectively.
In 2040, the proportion of population aged 65 and over will soar around 25% in all three countries.
The line graph provides information about the percentage of people with an age of 65 years or more in the USA,
Japan and Sweden, from 1940 to 2040.
In 1940, aged people in Japan and Sweden were around 5% and 7% of the population respectively. On the other hand, the
figure for the USA was higher, at about 9% of the population. From 1940 to 1990, the percentage of elderly people, both in
the USA and Sweden, went up gradually to approximately 15% and 13% respectively. By contrast, the figure for Japan
decreased to almost 3% during the same period.
By 2040, the proportion of people aged 65 and over is expected to rise further in the USA and Sweden, and reach 23% and
25% respectively. Moreover, the figure for Japan is estimated to increase sharply between 2030 and 2040, and reach 27%
by the end of the period.
Overall, it reveals that the proportion of elderly people will increase, particularly in Japan, by the year 2040.

The graph and the table below give information about the water use worldwide and water consumption in two different
countries.
The graph illustrates worldwide water use via three sectors, namely agriculture, industrial use and domestic use,
while the table gives data on the amount of water consumed by Brazil and congo in 2000.
As the line graph reveals, global water use in the agriculture took the lead over the period, commencing from half a
thousand km3 and significantly rosse to over 300km3 until 2000. In contrast, industrial and domestic water use started at
roughly the same proportion of under 100km3. Both the two figures steadily grew to over 1200km3 and around 400km3
resspectively after 100 years.
Looking closer at the table chart, in 2000, the statistic of Brazil population was 176 million and 26500 km2 for that of
irrigated land. Besides, water consumption per capita in Brazil was 359 km3. Contrastively, the Democratic Republic of
Congo showed low studies with 5,2 million citizens, 100 km2 land for irrigation and 8 m3 of water used up by each person.
Overall, water used in all three categories underwent an upward trend over the 100 year period, starting from 1900.
Besides, water consumption in Brazil dominated that used by the Democratic Republic of Congo by the year 2000.
The line graph and table show the data of water consumption in global and in two different nations.
From year 1900 to year 1950, the water usage of agriculture increased steadily by approximately 1000 cubic kilometres,
while industrial use and domestic use remained stable in the ten year period.
After the year 1950, we can see that the figure for agricultural water usage had significant growth and reached its peak just
around 3000 cubic kilometres, whereas the water consumption of the industry accounted for just over 1000 cubic
kilometres. However, domestic use only rose by 500 cubic kilometres from 1900 to 2000.
In the year 2000, Brazil had highest water consumption of 359 cubic kilometres, while Congo only accounted for 8 cubic
kilometres. In addition, Brazil had the largest population of 176 million and irrigated land at 26500 square kilometres,
while Congo only represented hundred times as small as population and irrigated land.
Overall, it is clear that all sectors in water use worldwide saw a gradual increase over the hundred year. Also, Braxil
receive the highest proportion of water consumption per person in 2000.
The graph shows how the amount of water used worldwide changed between 1900 and 2000.
Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural Purposes, and this increased dramatically
from about 500 km³ to around 3,000 km³ in the year 2000. Water used in the industrial and domestic sectors also
increased, but consumption was minimal until mid-century. From 1950 onwards, industrial use grew steadily to just over
1,000 km³, while domestic use rose more slowly to only 300 km³, both far below the levels of consumption by agriculture.
The table illustrates the differences in agriculture consumption in some areas of the world by contrasting the amount of
irrigated land in Brazil (26,500 km³) with that in the D.R.C. (100 km²). This means that a huge amount of water is used in
agriculture in Brazil, and this is reflected in the figures for water consumption per person: 359 m³ compared with only 8
m³ in the Congo. With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agriculture water consumption
can be in some countries.

The graph below shows the consumption of fish and different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and
2004
The graph illustrates fish and various categories of meat consumption in a particular European country during
the period 1979 to 2004.
It is clear that the amount of meat and fish consumed by European people had a tendency to decline over the period
shown.
In 1979, the amount of meat favorably consumed was accounted for the highest figure (220 grams). In contrast, fish
consumption would be the lowest, which was only accounted for 60 grams per person per week. Meanwhile, lamb and
chicken were consumed by European people at the same amount of grams (around 150 grams).
By 2004, chicken consumption experienced a sharp increase from 150 to 250 grams. Meanwhile, beef and lamb
consumption drop dramatically, at about 120 grams and 60 grams respectively.
Overall, people in this European country tended to consume less fish, lamb and beef whereas chicken saw a sharp increase
in weekly consumption.
The graph below illustrates the amount of the different kinds of meats including fish, lamb, beef and chicken,
which consumed in a European country between 1979 and 2004. The information is measured in Grams per
person per week.
In terms of the fish, it started with more than 50 grams and had a steady term and declined to around 40 grams in 2004.
Likewise, Lamb started with exactly 150 grams, then after a fluctuated season between 1980 and 1999, decreased
dramatically to more than 50 grams in 2004.
However, we see the reverse for the chicken. It started with less than 150 and then increased significantly and
continuously and reached the peak in around 2000 with more than 250 grams.
The beef had a fluctuated duration between 1979 and 1984 and began with more than 200 grams than decreased
gradually and constantly to around 100 grams in final years.
Overall, the majority of consumption was chicken and beef in the period given and lamb and fish were less popular meats.
BOOK-8 (Graph)Writing Task-1

The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different
modes of transport.
The graph below illustrates the total number of goods transported from England between 1974 to 2002
using four different modes of transport.
According to the graph, the pipeline started its transportation, at about 3 million tonnes of goods in 1974 and
then, there was a sharp increase. However, from 1982 to 1990 pipeline remained constant. But after that, there
was a sharp decrease and again without change in the last 8 years.
On the flip side, the other transport mode of rail initiated their journey 40 million tonnes of goods and though
some fluctuations over the period but remained unchanged. Moreover, the mode of water transport started just
below 40 million tonnes, then a sharp increase in the year of 1978 to 1982 and finished their quantities just over
60 million tonnes. The highest transportation occurred by road over the period began at approximately 70
million tonnes and then it increased and increased over time and at 95 millions of goods transportation.
Overall, the transport mode of the pipeline increased, rail remained constant and despite some fluctuations,
water increased drastically, road increased significantly over the period.

The line graph shows the variation in the million tonnes of goods transportation by road, water, rail and
pipeline in the UK during a 28-year period from 1974 to 2002.
We can see that the most common trend was for the amount of goods transported to increase consistently with
time. For example, the figure on road delivery from over 65 to around 100 million tonnes. Likewise, pipeline
transportation figure was its smallest point of about 5 million tonnes in 1974, but 20 years later, it was enlarged
to over 20 million tonnes after 1994 and remained stable until the year end. These are all substantial increase.

The quantity of goods transported by water rose from 40 to over 60 million tonnes. The only period when there
was a reduction in 1998 (from 60 to 50 million tonnes). However, an amount of goods transported by rail
fluctuated across 1974 to 2002, between 30 and 40 million tonnes.
Overall, this chart indicates that it was mainly road, pipeline and water which gave rise to the expansion of the
quantities of goods transported over the United Kingdom, except rail transportation.
BOOK-9 (Graph)Writing Task-1

The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections
until 2030
The given bar graph compares the consumption of energy in the USA from 1980 and also gives a projection of it till the
year 2030. As is presented in the graph, petrol and oil were the main two sources of energy while the use of coal would
increase in the coming years.
As is presented in the line graph, initially in 1980 35 quadrillion units of oil and petrol energy was consumed in the USA while
15-20 quadrillion units each of coal and natural gas was consumed. In this year less than 5 quadrillion energy got from nuclear,
solar and hydropower was consumed. The consumption of all of these energy sources kept on increasing with some fluctuations.
It is projected that in 2030 the consumption of petrol and oil will reach to over 50 quadrillion units while coal and natural gas’s
consumption will reach from 20 to 30 quadrillions. The consumption of nuclear, solar/ wind and hydropower will also increase
and would reach to over 5 quadrillion units.
In 2030, oil and petrol would be mostly consumed to get energy while in the second most consumed energy source would be
coals.
The line graph delineates data from a 2008 report regarding energy consumption in the USA since 1980 with
predictions until 2030.
Particularly, the consumption of the fossil fuels rose steadily since 1980, with the petrol and oil starting at 35 quadrillion units,
fluctuating until 2000, and then grew gradually with a projection of over 45 quadrillion units by 2030. Coal followed a similar
pattern, starting from 15 quadrillion units and it is anticipated to reach at around 30 by 2030. Natural gas consumption
underwent fluctuations and it is envisaged to level off at about 24 quadrillion units by 2015.
Regarding cleaner fuels, they all began beneath 5 quadrillion units. However, nuclear energy went up slightly with a forecast of
reaching just under 10 quadrillion units by 2030. Solar and wind energy fluctuated negligibly and are likely to end at nearly over
5 in 2030, whereas hydropower saw a downward trend and will remain relatively stable until 2030.
Overall, fossil fuel usage has experienced an increase since 1980 with estimations of even more consumption of these. By
contrast, cleaner energy sources have witnessed lower figures of consumption with expectations of similar trends.
The line graph provides information about the consumption of energy by fuel in the United States of America since
1980 with projections until 2030.
The most dominant fuel sources throughout the period are petrol and oil. Starting with 35 quadrillion units in 1980, it reached
about 42 quadrillions in 2013. It is estimated that by 2030 this fuel source will reach 48 quadrillion units.
Consumption of energy derived from coal and natural gas is quite smaller. From 20 and 15 quadrillion units in the beginning of
the period, natural gas had a slight decline and coal a gradual increase. The two fuels were equal from 1985 to 1990, when coal
began to lead. It is predicted that coal will increase steadily to 32 quadrillion units in 2030, while natural gas will remain stable
at 25 quadrillion units.
The least prevailing fuel sources in this period are nuclear, hydropower, solar and wind. All of the fuels started with 4
quadrillion units in 1980. Thereafter, nuclear risen to 7 quadrillion units in 2010, while at the same time solar and wind
increased only by 1 quadrillion unit. Hydropower had some insignificant rises and fell to the 1980 figure. It is predicted that all
these fuels will maintain their levels until 2025, when nuclear, solar and wind will rise slightly.
Overall, the United States of America will continue to rely on petrol and oil with less significant usage of sustainable, nuclear and
environmentally friendly fuel.

The Graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and
Portugal between 1967 and 2007
The line graph delineates the carbon dioxide in metric tonnes that a person emits in four European countries, from 1967 to 2007,
decade upon decade.
Particularly, the United Kingdom presented the highest figures of emissions per person during the forty years; in 1967 the CO2
emissions were just below 11 metric tonnes. However, the next years followed a gradual decrease, reaching at around 8 metric tonnes of
emissions in 2007. Simultaneously, the emissions of carbon dioxide per person in Sweden started at just above eight metric tonnes in
1967, but in the next decade. It reached its peak at just over 10, and from 1977. It witnessed a downward trend, hitting a low of just
beneath 6 metric tonnes in 2007.
On the other hand, Italy’s and Portugal’s emissions per individual began from around 4 and 1 metric tonnes, respectively. Subsequently,
both countries saw an upward trend, with Italy’s emissions peaking at just under 8 metric tonnes and Portugal’s at around 5 in 1997 and
remained constant until 2007.
Overall, Italy and Portugal witnessed an upward trend during the forty-year period in carbon dioxide emissions. Whereas Sweden and
the United Kingdom predominantly saw a decline for the same period.
The graph shows the changes in the emissions of carbon dioxide in 4 European countries from 1967 to 2007.
The production of carbon dioxide in Portugal and Italy were steadily increasing. In 1967 the emission in Portugal was
approximately 1 metric tonnes (mt) and it increased steadily to 5 mt in 1997 before slowing down in the final year. Italy
started at 4 mt and rose gradually overtaking Sweden in 1987 to reach just below 8 mt in 1997. However, it then remained
unchanged until 2007.
Carbon dioxide emissions in United Kingdom and Sweden decreased during the same period. United Kingdom had the
highest emission over the period starting at 11 mt but the number kept decreasing and reached 9 mt in 2007. In Sweden,
initially there was an increase from 8 to 11 mt, but then the emission dropped sharply until the end of the period and
reached the same level as Portugal (5 mt).
In summary, while emissions in Italy and Portugal grew, UK and Sweden saw an opposite trend. However, UK remained
the biggest producer of carbon dioxide over the period.
The line graph compares the release of the standard amount of carbon dioxide within four different countries
over the four decades from 1967 to 2007. The measuring unit is metric tonnes.
United Kingdom started from approximately 11 tonnes then it is declined gradually till the end of the period and ends up
around nine tonnes. However, Sweden increased rapidly and reached at its peak in 1977, with nearly 11 metric tonnes.
Then, it went down sharply. After 1987, it declined steadily, and ends up at just over four.
On the other hand, Portugal increased moderately, and it has shown a twofold increase at the end of the period, and ended
up at just less than six. Discharge of carbon dioxide in Italy increased considerably, and at just over six in 1977. Then, it
increased gently and leveled off at the last decade with close to eight metric tonnes.
Overall, the United Kingdom and Sweden show downward trend while the Italy and Portugal has an upward trend.
Furthermore, the emissions of carbon dioxide in the United Kingdom were the highest, whereas in the case of Portugal it
was the lowest.

The graph below shows the number of tourists visting a particular Caribbean island between 2010 and 2017.
The line chart gives information about the total number of people visiting a Caribbean island over a 7-
year period, as well as the number of two different types of visitors.
As the graph shows, the total number of visitors started at 1 million in 2010 and continued to grow between
2010 and 2017. The figure reached a peak of 3.5 million in 2017. Similarly, starting at approximately 0.25
million in 2010, the figure for visitors who stayed on cruise ships rose to 0.5 million in 2011, followed by a slight
decrease to 0.25 million in 2012. Afterward, it witnessed a steady increase to 2 million in 2017.
By contrast, the number of visitors staying on the island stood at 0.75 million in 2010 and remained constant in
2011. Then, it rose rapidly to 1.5 million in 2013 but leveled off between 2014 and 2015. More visitors preferred
staying on the island than on cruise ships before the decrease to 1.25 million in 2016. The figure subsequently
rose to 1.5 million in 2017.
Overall, the total number and both types of visitors experienced an upward trend over time, while the figure for
visitors who stayed on cruise ships surpassed those staying on the island in 2016, becoming the biggest group of
visitors.

The graph indicates the number of visitors going a Caribbean island from 2010 to 2017. Both the
number of visitors staying on cruise ships and those staying on island are increasing. Overall, The total
number of people visiting Caribbean island generally higher than those staying on cruise ships.
The lowest number of visitors is in 2010, for visitors staying on cruise ships are 0.25 million while those staying
on island are 0.75 million.
The number of people remains unchanged for those in island at 0.75 million. In contrast, tourists who stay on
cruise ships has increased to 0.5 million.
There is a rising trend in staying on island since 2011 until 2013 and reach 1.5 million which is two times higher
than those staying on cruise ships, 0.5 million.On the other hand, the number of visitors on cruise ships is
fluctuated.
From 2012 to 2017, there is a surge in the number of tourists staying on cruise ships and reach 2 millions, which
is the highest number. The number of visitors staying in island, 1.5 million, is lower than those staying in cruise
ships since 2016.

The charts below show the changes in ownership of electrical appliances and amount of time spent doing housework
in households in one country between 1920 and 2019.
The given line charts illustrate the percentage of household with electrical appliances and a number of
houses, of housework per week in households in one nation from 1920 to 2019.
In 1920, 40% of washing machine used in households after this value increased with 70% in 1960 and after this
percentage fell by 5% in 1980. In addition, again rise up trend over the given years. Furthermore, refrigerator and
vacuum cleaners both same trend which is the fridge started zero per cent by 1920 after significant grow and
reached same position of the vaccum cleaner. Likewise, the vacuum cleaner starting at approximately 30 percentage
in 1920 and continued to inclined over the period between 1940 and 1960. In contrast, this percentage remained
over the period 20 years.
On the other hand, people did forty percent hours of housework per week in 1920 then dramatically declined
housework 35 hours and 20hours in 1940 to 1960 respectively. Nevertheless, this hours still remained over given the
years.
Overall, it can be seen that, the refrigerator and vacuum cleaner electrical appliances were both highest used in
household while the maximum number of hours spent in 1920.
The line charts detail total percentages of electrical appliances in a given country from 1920 to 2019 and the
results on housework undertaken per week.
Refrigerators witnessed the most significant rise, beginning at just over 0% in 1920, surging to more than 50% by
1950, and then continuing to rise steadily until plateauing at 100% around 1980. Vacuum cleaners started higher at
30% and then rose by precisely 20% every 20 years until 1960 when growth tapered and ownership ultimately
reached 100% by 1980. In contrast, proportions for washing machines began at 40%, climbed to 70% by 1960, then
fell slightly, and recovered to finish the period at just above 70%.
The result for housework was that time spent washing clothes, preparing meals, and cleaning fell steadily from 50
hours a week in 1920 to 20 by 1960. After that, the decline was more gradual, reaching slightly above 10 hours by
2019.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that all electrical appliances became more popular, in
particular refrigerators and vacuum cleaners. The total time spent doing housework has also declined steadily and
dramatically in the last one hundred years.

The line graph below shows changes in the amount and type of fast food consumed by Australian teenagers from 1975 to 2000.
The line graph below shows changes in the amount of fast food eaten by teenagers from Australia for 1975 to 2000.
The given line graph depicts the Australian teenagers’ habit of fast food consumption between 1975 and 2000 years. It can be
seen from the graph that the popularity of hamburgers rose dramatically among the Australian teenagers whereas the fish
and chips gradually decreased.
According to the graph, in 1975, the fish and chips were very famous among the teenagers of Australia. Moreover, at that time,
it was eaten almost 100 times per year. After that in 1980, the popularity of fish and chips decreased consistently; again it
increased slightly in 1985. Then from 1985 to 2000 the demand for this fast food fell significantly: just under the 40 times eaten
per year.
On the other hand, it appears from the graph that the popularity of pizzas and hamburgers rose substantially. Nevertheless, the
demand for pizza was constant over a period of 1995 to 2000 and it was nearly eaten 85 times in a year. On the other side, the
consumption rate of hamburgers exponentially increased from 1985 to 2000 and the number of eaten times per year was just
above 100 times.
The line graph compares the fast food consumption of teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.
In 1975, the most popular fast food among Australian teenagers was fish and chips, being eaten 100 times a year. This was far
higher than Pizza and hamburgers, which were consumed approximately 5 times a year. However, apart from a brief rise again
from 1980 to 1985, fish and chips' consumption gradually declined over the 25-year timescale to finish at just under 40.
in sharp contrast to this, teenagers ate the other two fast foods at much higher levels. Pizza consumption increased gradually
until it overtook the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. It then leveled off from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in
hamburgers as the occasions they were eaten increased sharply throughout the 1970s and 1980s, exceeding that of fish and
chips in 1985. It finished at the same level that fish and chips began, with consumption at 100 times a year.
Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the period, whereas the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were
eaten increased.
The given presentation shows data on the consumption of fast food by Australian Teenagers from 1975 to 2000. The units are
measured in a number of times eaten fast food in annual.
As is observed from the given data, teenagers have chosen to eat fast foods especially in Pizza and Hamburger, which were the
most preferred food, in overall, compared to fish/chips. Fish and chips were the most popular food amongst Australian
teenagers at the beginning of the period and then this title gave to hamburgers by the end of the period.
100 number of times eaten for fish and chips per year by Australian teenagers in 1975. After a brief decline in 1980, the
consumption for fish and chips rose to a triple. From 1985, the consumption for fish and chips decreased at a constant rate to
finish at about 40 in 2000.
The consumption of pizza and hamburgers started at a lower level compared to those of fish and chips, with about 9 and 15
times, respectively. After that, the figures for pizza and hamburgers increased rapidly within 20 years. After that, the more of
Australian teenagers preferred to eat pizza and hamburgers, which increased to reach at about 80 and 100 times respectively.

(Sample 2)

The graph gives information about the consumption of fast food (in grams per week), in the UK from 1970 to 1990.
The bar graph represents the weekly expenditure on three categories of fast food according to income groups in britain while the
line graph illustrates the total consumption of these fast foods in the time period of 20 years between 1970-1990.
At first, the bar graph shows the expenditure comparison among hamburgers, fish & chips and pizza. Hamburger is the highly
consumed food in high and average income groups where it costs 40 and 32 pence per week respectively. Contrary, in low income
group, more money is spent on fish and chips around 17% which corresponds to the money spent on them in high income group. Pizza
expenditure has a gradual falling trend from high to low income groups which is 20%, 12% and 6% respectively.
On the other hand, the line graph depicts that fish and chips were the highly consumed fast food in 1970, consumption 300 gms but
with the passage of time, its consumption showed a gradual descending trend till 1990 when it reached around 200gms. While
hamburger and pizza showed increasing trend, in which hamburger showed an abrupt rise and reached at 500 gms till 1990. Pizza
consumption took a steep rise and could just reach at 220 gms which is the same as the most lowest level of fish and chips
consumption
Overall, it can be seen that hamburger is the favorite fast food between high and average income groups and that its consumption has
gotten a sharp rise over the time span of 20 years.
The graph shows changes in the amount of fast food consumed in the UK between 1970 and 1990. Several trends are apparent.
First, Britons are eating more and more fast food. Secondly, the type of fast food has changed.
In 1970, the most popular fast food was fish and chips. Over 300g were consumed each week. By 1990, however, this had fallen to just
over 200g - a 50% drop. Consumption of other fast foods such as pizza and hamburgers increased, however. The amount of pizza eaten
shot up from about 20g a week to more than 270g, overtaking fish and chips in the late 1980s. Hamburger consumption also
increased, rising from about 80g in 1970 to almost 300g in 1990.
Accompanying this change in the choice of foods was an increase in the amount of fast food consumed. In 1970, British consumers ate
about 450g a week of fast food. In 1990, on the other hand, this had more than doubled, to 1000g.
The line graph illustrates people who lived in the United Kingdom intake fast food, namely hamburger, fish & chips, and pizza from
1970 to 1990.
In 1970, around 300g pizza was eaten by Britons in a week, compared to the figures for fish & chips and hamburger were both below
100g. In 1980, the number of Britons intake fish & chips and hamburger increased, at almost 150g and 100g respectively. In contrast,
the figure for consumption of pizza dropped gradually by 100g.
Over the following ten years, the consumption of fish & chips rose dramatically by 550g, although the figure for hamburger lower
almost 300g, the number of Britons ate hamburger rose almost by 250g. The proportion of consumption of pizza fell steadily during
1980 t 1985, but the number of it rose slightly at nearly 210g in 1990.
Overall, it is clear that consumption of fish & chips and hamburger rose steadily throughout the period shown. By contrast, people
consumed pizza fell.
