Practice Pie charts:

The given pie charts represent data on energy sources of the USA for the
decades 1980s and 1990s.

In general, it can be seen that, the proportion of energy generated by oil and
natural gas declined in ten years, while coal and nuclear power accounted for
making more energy in 1990 than in 1980 and hydroelectric power, being the
only exception produced the least amount of energy in both time period.

In the 1980s, the proportion of oil was 42%, but this fell to 33% in the 1990s.
However, oil was still the main source of energy from the 1980s to the 1990s.
The percentage of natural gas also went down slightly by 1% from 26% to 25%
in the 1990s.

In contrast, there was an increase in the figure for coal from 22% in the 1980s to
27% in the 1990s. Likewise, the percentage of nuclear power was 5% of the
total energy sources, it went up to 10% in the 1990s. Besides, hydroelectric
power remained unchanged, at 5% in both periods.

Practice Pie chart mix Table (task 1, page 68):

The table provides the proportions of how each of young male and female
listened to music in Tokyo, Japan, last month, and the pie chart describes the
proportion of which people like live or recorded music around the world.

Overall, it is clear that the vast majority of people favoured live music over
recorded music. In addition, the percentages of boys listening to music by all
means were higher than those of girls, with the exception of CDs.

The pie chart shows that the proportion of people who preferred live music was
almost triple that of ones favouring recorded music, with the remaining 4%
undecided. In terms of gender differences in listening habits, live music was
predominant among females (44%), although it was still lower than the
percentage of males who went to concerts (60%). As for men, the most common
means to enjoy music was MP3-players (79%), which was nearly twice the
figures for women.
Regarding the other two means that were used at lower levels, the proportion of
males listening to music online, again, was higher than that of females (55% as
opposed to 42%). In contrast, CDs witnessed a reverse pattern with 19% of boys
in comparison with 22% of girls and were by far the least popular among both
genders.
