Key features:

1. Prices for 3 food groups and CPI increased

2. Only prices for fresh fruits and vegetables were higher than overall increase in CPI over the period.

Compare sugar/ sweets and carbonated drinks trend with CPI

Report on fresh fruits and vegetables trend.

The linegraph provides information about changes in price in the USA of three different food product
groups from 1979 to 2009, and the overall trend in the consumer price index over this 30 year period.

Overall, it is clear that prices increased for the three food product groups, despite fluctuations. Only the
increase in the prices for fresh fruits and vegetables was significantly higher than the rise in the general
consumer price index.

All the lines on the graph have the same starting figure in 1979. Over the period, the consumer price
index rose steadily from around 60 in 1979 to over 200 in 2009. Prices for sugar and sweets and
carbonated drinks showed similar trends.

Although their prices also rose, they were consistently below the consumer price index average after
1987. After many minor fluctuations, the number for sugar was 200 on the graph in 2009, higher than
the final figure for carbonated drinks at 150.

Prices rose sharply for fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly after 1989. From the same figure of about
60 at the start of the period, the prices finished at roughly 330 on the index in 2009.

The graph below compares changes in the birth rates of China and the USA between 1920 and 2000. The
line graph compares birth rates in China and the US and how these rates changed from 1920 to 2000.

Overall, the birth rates of both nations decreased over the period of 80 years. Although the two trends
were similar in terms of a general decline, the birth rate of the USA in most years was higher than that
of China. In the 1920-1935 period, the birth rate in America fluctuated, althoudh it always remained
above 10%. However in the following decade the American birth rate fell sharply to below 5%. In the
1950s, the figure for the USA increased significantly to exactly 15%, which was its highest point during
the 80-year period. Throughout the remainder of the period, there was a gradual decline in the US birth
rate, which fell to 7% by the year 2000. Over the same period, the birth rate in China varied more
significantly than in the US. It dropped to 5% from 1950 to 1945 before reaching the highest point of the
whole line graph , 20% in 1950. By contrast, 5 years later the birth rate in China decreased rapidly by
over 10%, falling to approximately 2% in 2000.

Summary paragraph:

- Key features:
1. People in Germany spent the most money on boos compared to the other 3 countries.
2. Spending on books increased in all the countries.
3. Compare the 1995 figures
Describe the trend and 2005 figure for Germany.
4. Describe the trends for France, Austria, and Italy
Compare 2005 figures for France and Austria
o Report sharp increase for Austria 2001-2005
o Report trend and final figure for Italy.

The linegraph compares the expenditure on books from 1995 to 2005 in four different countries.
Overall, it is clear that people in Germany spent more on books than those in the other three countries.
However, over the 10-year period, spending on books increased in all four countries. In 1995, $80
million was spent on books in Germany. The spending figures for France and Italy were similar in 1995,
at $55 million and $50, respectively, whereas the figure for Austria was much lower at just $30 million.
Despite some fluctuations, the amount of money spent on books in Germany continued to be higher
than in the other countries throughout the period, and spending reached a peak of almost $100 million
in 2005. There was a steady increase in the expenditure on books in France, and this finally reached a
figure of $75 million in 2005. This was similar to the figure for Austria, where the money spent on books
rose sharply from $40 million in 2001 to $72 million in 2005. In Italy, spending on books saw a gradual
increase during the 10 years, reaching a final figure of just over $60 million in 2005.
The graph illustrates the proportion of visitors to England who went to four different tourist attractions
in Brighton between 1980 and 2010.

Overall, it is clear that the percentage visiting the Pier and the Pavilion increased over the period, while
the proportion of visitors to the other attractions fell.

In the 1980, only 10% of tourists to England went to Brighton Pier. Despite some minor fluctuations, this
figure rose from about 12% in 2000 to 22% in 2010. The percentage visiting the Pavilion also increased,
from 23% in 1980 to almost 50% in 1995. However, this figure then declined, to 35% in 2000 and then to
about 30% in 2010, slightly higher than the Festival.

The most popular Brighton attraction in 1980 for visitors to England was the Festival. Although 30% of
these attended the Festival in 1980, by 2010 this percentage had fallen slightly to 28%. In 1980, the
figure for visitors to the Art Gallery was 21%.

It rose to a peak of 38%, but this then decreased dramatically to less than 10% in 2010. It was, therefore,
the least popular of the attractions at the end of the period.
