The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country

between 1979 and 2004

the given line graph illustrates how many grams of fish and various kinds of meat are consumed weekly
per person in an unspecified European country every 5 years from 1979 to 2004

Overall, the amount of beef, lamb and fish purchased witnessed a stark fall over the period shown,
whereas the consumption of chicken increased markedly, simultaneously registering the most
pronounced growth and surpassing beef to become the most consumed meat in the period
shown

Looking first at chicken and beef consumption, the latter started the period with the highest share of
consumption, at around 220 grams per week, greatly ahead of the former. Thereafter, chicken
consumption increased steadily to approximately 200 grams, officially overtaking that of beef in
1988 and fell by approximately 10 grams. This trend, however, was short-lived, since chicken
consumption bounced back to 200 grams in 1991, from when this consumption registered in the
first place. Albeit with the highest starting point of 220 grams, beef consumption exhibited rapid
decreases. Despite a slight recovery in 1984, the figure still decreased markedly and ended up at
110 grams, falling from first place to the second

Turning to other kinds of meat, with a starting point of 150 grams, lamb consumption experienced an
oscillation and ended up at around 52 grams, granting lamb the third position. Interestingly, fish
seemed to be the least favourite type of meat since it has the smallest consumption over the
period shown. The figure for fish consumed weekly remained stable from around 40 to 60
grams, before decreasing to roughly 40 grams in 2004.
the given bar chart illustrates the percentage of students proficient in a foreign language in different
countries
overall, the rates of females were much higher compared to those of male counterparts in all examined
countries except for Thailand. It is also reported that proficiency rates in Romania and India far
exceed that in other nations
Romanian and Indian students witnessed significantly higher segments of the whole population with the
ability to use the second language. India registered the highest rates for both genders, with
approximately 70% of females and over half of males. The proportion of people proficient in a
foreign language were slightly lower in Romania, where about 64% of woman can speak a
foreign language fluently, a common point they share with two-fifths of men. The disparity
between the two genders in Romania is also the largest in the bar chart
the remaining countries saw a different scenario. Thailand, is the only nation in the examined countries
with a larger male proportion of roughly three tens compared to just nearly 30% of women skilled
in the second language, marking the smallest disparity between the two genders in the chart.
China has the smallest proportion of males with 16% while the figure for females is double that.
Meanwhile, Russian females able to speak a foreign language account for 42% whereas their
male counterparts take up only about four-tenths of the population. Vietnam had more ratio of
second-language-knowing female and male students than that of China, and Russia, 56% and
40% respectively
