Line Graph

The two line graphs illustrate the changes in smoking and alcohol
consumed in some contries: Japan, Turkey, Holland and USA between
1960 and 2000.

In term of smoking pattern, in three nations: USA, Japan, Holland, the

general trend was downwards. For next period of ten years, Japan and
USA had till a slight reduction. While Holland experienced a dramatic
decline of the number of smokers from 60% to 45%. For the period
1980-2000, these three countries remained the same trend of slight
dicrease of the percentage of smoker went down slightly.

About the alcohol consumption, From 1960 to 1980, the consumption

rose dramatically in Holland and there was also a moderate increase in
USA. Until 2000 there was a gradual decrease in these two countries. In
different situation, for the period of forty years, the consumption in
Turkey has no change. Except for only a slight rise in 1970s before
reduce to previous figure in the next decade.
Pie Chart

The two pie charts show the changes in world population by region at
the beginning and the end of the 20th century.

It is clear that Asia is the most populous continent with the rate of
population is over a half. Europe always takes the second place despite
of the reduction from 25% in 1900 to 14% in 2000. For the percentage
of people who live in Africa and Latin America, there was a growth by
10% and 8% respectively in 2000 but they till have a small rate. The
other regions till remained in a few the same rate.

In summary, The proportion of Asian and Europe is down, but they are
till the great parts of world population.

Describing maps

The maps show the developments which took place at the seaside resort
of Templeton between 1990 and 2005.

In 1980, the resort was a much greener residential area with a large
number of tree and individual houses, but during the next 25 years the
resort experienced a number of dramatic changes. The most noticeable is
that all of the trees south-west of the resort were cut down and replaced
by some buildings. Moreover a new supermarket is constructed above.
Only a few trees near the river remainded. Futher developments were the
construction of a airport near the school and below the school, the
woodland was cleared to make way for a factory. Especially, A new
ferry is built at the south-east and the railway is also appended from the
east to west.

Overall, a comparision of the two maps reveals a change from a largely

rural to a mainly urban landscape.
