The table above compares the percentage of national consumer expenditure by different categories in 2002.As can be seen clearly, consumers spending on Food/Drinks/Tobacco accounted for the largest percentage in all five countries listed in the chart.This figure was highest in the Turkey at 32.14%, followed by 28.91% in Ireland, 18.8% in Spain, 16.36% in Italy and 15.77% in Sweden.In terms of Clothing/Footwear, consumers in Italy spent the most on this item at 9%.This figure was approximately 2.5% higher than the amounts spent in Turkey, Spain and Ireland, and 3.6% higher than that spent in Sweden.That last consumer item included in the chart is Leisure/Education.The largest amount of 4.35% spent on this item in Turkey was more than twice as high as the amount spent in Spain, which had the lowest figure.In between were Sweden and Italy-both around the 3.2% mark-and Ireland at
2.21%.The differences in expenditure shown for each country are poibly reflective of relative differences in the cost of the items in question but not enough information is given in this chart to make that claim with any certainty.TEST2
The graph illustrates changes in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a particular European country between 1979 and 2004.In 1979 beef was by far the most popular of these foods, with about 225 grams consumed per person per week.Lamb and chicken were eaten in similar quantities(around 150 grams), while much le fish was consumed(just over 50grams).However during this 25-year period the consumption beef and lamb fell dramatically to approximately 100 grams and 55grams respectively.The consumption of fish also declined, but much le significantly to just below 50 grams, so although it remained the least popular food, consumption levels were the most stable.The consumption of chicken, on the other hand, showed an upward trend, overtaking that of lamb in 1980 and that of beef in 1989.By 2004 it had soared to almost 250 grams per person per week.Overall, the graph shows how the consumption of chicken increased dramatically while the popularity of these other foods decreased over the period.TAST 3
The chart above compares some significant information about percentage change of house prices on average in five different cities between 1990 and 2000 with the average house prices in 1989.In comparison with 1989 levels, average house prices in New York dropped by 5 % in the 1900-1995 period but increased by the same amount between 1996 and 2002.In Madrid there was a 2% rise in the first period and a 4 % rise in the second, while prices in Tokyo fell during both periods: by around 7.5% during 1990-1995 and 5% during 1996-2002.Frankfurt prices climbed from their 1989 mark by 2.5% in the first period and by around 1.5% in the second, while price in London underwent the biggest changes of all five cities referred to in the chart.In London the average house price was 7.5% lower than the 1989 level during the 1990-1995 period and 12% higher between 1996 and 2002.To summarize the overall price trends, those in Madrid and Frankfurt were higher in both periods than their1989 marks, those in Tokyo were lower in both periods, and those in New York and London dropped in the first period but climbed in the second.TAST 4
The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years 1980 and 2000.Between these years electricity production almost doubled rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia and from 90 to 180 units in France.In 1980 Australia used coal as the main electricity source(50 units)and the remained was produced from natural gas, hydro power(each producing 20 units)and oil(which produced only 10 units).By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by nature gas.The remaining 40units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro contributing only 5 units.But by 2000 nuclear power, which was not used at in Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units.Other sources were on longer significant.Overall, it is clear that by 2000 these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.
