The table shows people in 5 countries spent their money on cars,

computers and books in 2008.

Overall, spending on cars took up the greatest percentages in the total


budget of people in all countries, whereas the reverse was true for the
expenditure on books.

Chinese people spent nearly 30% of their budget on cars, much higher
than the figure for Japan, at merely 18.8%. Spending on cars,
meanwhile, only took up around 16% and 15% in the budgets of Thai
and Vietnamese people respectively.

16.23% of the family budget was used for computers in China, three
times as much as the figures for the other nations, at between 5% and
6%. Books accounted for the lowest percentage of the total spending
in all nations, at about 3.2% for Vietnam and Thailand, 2.21% for China
and 1.98% for Japan.
The table shows the amount of money that four car manufacturing
companies spent on different forms of advertising in the UK in 2002.

It is clear that Renault spent the largest amount of money on


advertising during 2002. In addition, TV advertisements were by far
the most popular advertising format, while the opposite was true for
“cinema”

In 2002, Cetirizine allocated $70 million for TV advertisement while


the figure for Vauxhall was slightly lower, at $65 million. Meanwhile,
$59 million was spent on TV commercials by Renault, and only $45
million by Rover. In terms of press advertising, the amount of money
spent by Renault was again largest, at $45 million, slightly higher than
that of Rover, at $38 million. In contrast, Vauxhall and Cetirizine only
spent $8 million and $12 million on press advertising, respectively.

Of the other forms, advertising in cinemas and outdoors incurred the


lowest costs, with less than $10 million spent by each company. It is
also notable that (it is of note that) expenditure on radio advertising by
all car manufacturers was similar, at $15 million each.
The table and bar chart illustrate the total spending and the average expenditure per week for
accommodation, tuition, and living costs of students studying abroad in four countries.

Overall, it is clear that the cost of studying in country A is highest. Also, international students in
all countries, except for country D, have to pay the largest amount of money each week for living
costs, while they spend the least on accommodation.

Studying abroad in country A costs $875, which is $140 and $335 more than studying in country
B and C respectively. International students in country D, however, need to pay a significantly
lower amount of money ($435) than those studying in the other three countries.

Overseas students in country A spend an average of $430 per week on living expenses, while
those in country B spend only $350. In contrast, the weekly cost of accommodation in country B
is $60 higher than that of country A, at $280. The figures for tuition fees in both countries are
over $300 a week. Regarding the other two countries, the expenditures for the three categories
are all below $300, with the smallest figure being accommodation in country D, at only $200 per
week.
The bar chart illustrates the average number of years males and females attended school, while
the pie charts present the different levels of education achieved by adults in Singapore in 2000
and 2010.

Overall, there was an increase in the number of years, for both males and females, that were
spent on education. It can also be seen that the figure for males was slightly higher over the
period shown. Additionally, the level of education that people were attaining had increased over
the period.

As can be seen from the bar chart, in 2000, male citizens attended school for an average of 8.9
years, which rose considerably to just under 12 years in 2010. In contrast, the number of years
females attended school in 2000 was only 8. This figure remained unchanged until 2008, and
then rose to 8.9 years in 2010.

According to the pie charts, in 2000, almost one-third of Singapore’s population finished high
school. The figures for those who only finished primary and secondary school were quite high, at
approximately 26% each, compared to less than 10% of Singaporeans who had gained a bachelor
or master’s degree. However, the level of education people who were attaining had increased
over the ten year period, with nearly two-thirds of the population obtaining a university degree,
and only 2.1% leaving after primary school.
