GENERAL EXERCISE TASK 1

Task 1: The chart below gives information about the age of


women in Australia when they give birth to their first child in
1966, 1986 and 2006

The chart illustrates the age proportion of women living in Australia when
they gave birth to their first child in 3 years.

Overall, women between the ages 20-24 is the suitable time to have their
first child, on the other hand, women over 40 are less likely to have
children.

In 1966, the most common age to have a baby was from 20 to 24 years
old, which more than 60%, higher than those around 25-30 years old and
19 years old and younger, about 38% and 34% . Meanwhile, people in their
30 to 34 and 35 to 39 have only about 10%. The propotion of women aged
40 and over are able to give birth only was only 2%

As can be seen from the chart, in 2006, the percentage of women who
gave birth to their child aged 19 or under and 20-24 years old, dropped
significantly to only 10% and 30%. The remaining age groups all increased
significantly, with women aged 25 to 30 up to 40%, those aged 30 to 34
was 39%, those aged 34 to 39 incresed to 30%. The percentage of women
over 40 years old also increased, about 3%.
Task 1: The graph below shows the percentage of people in the different age
group who went to the cinema once a month in Great Britain. Summarize the
information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.

The line chart illustrtes the percentage of people of four different ages who
go to the cinema every month in the UK from 1984 to 2000.

Overall, the proportion of the 4 age groups who go to the cinema once a
month tends to increase. The percentage of people aged 15-24 who go to
the movies every month is always the highest compared to other age
groups.

In 1984, the percentage of people aged 15-24 who went to the movies
every month accounted for about 17%, much higher than the percentage of
people aged 25-35 and over 35 years old, only about 1-2%. At the age of
70-14, only about 10%. Over the years, the number of people of four
different ages went to the cinema the first year, though very low, which was
followed by an increase in 2000

As can be seen from the chart, in 2000, cinema witnessed a gradual


increase in the proportion of people aged 15-24 and over 35 years old,
reaching to 58% and 15% respectively. Audiences at the theater at the age
of 7-14 also increased significantly to 32%. Meanwhile, 25-25 year olds
