TASK-1

The pie-chart gives information on how Americans spend their money of a total $1.2 trillion. Write a short
description of the pie-chart.
The pie-chart shows how typical Americans spend their money.
Overall, the biggest areas of
expenditure are on food, housing and household expenses, and
transport.
The biggest single area is food, drink and tobacco. This accounts
for almost a quarter of spending. Housing and household
maintenance make up 15% each, and another 13% goes on
transport. Medical care comprises almost one-tenth of spending.
This is slightly more than the amount spent on clothes and
jewelry, at 8%, and recreation, at 7%.
The remaining segments account for just 10% in total. Americans
spend just 5% on personal business, and less than half of that on
education. Personal care, foreign travel and spending on religion account for just one percent each.
In summary, half of the money spent goes on food and housing, while transport, medical care and
clothes make up a further quarter.
