Practice 1:

The bar chart provides information on the average time spent by teachers
a teacher spent teaching in working in three different school types in
Japan, Spain, Iceland and the USA in 2001.

Overall, these four countries followed the same ranking with the
biggest number of hours for upper secondary and the smallest
one for primary.// Overall, in all the four countries, upper secondary
teachers worked the longest hours while primary were seen to allocate the
lowest amount of time at school. It is also noticeable that the USA teachers
worked spent more hours than teachers in the other 3 countries while the
opposite is true for Japan.

Looking at the details, upper secondary teachers in the USA spent a

massive 1,200 hours working on doing their jobs, followed by those in
Spain and Iceland with a figure of approximately 900 hours each.
Meanwhile, in Japan, upper secondary teachers only spent 700 hours on
teaching.

The ranking was roughly the same in lower school types. In lower
secondary, the USA figure still dominated the others with 1,000 hours
being spent, which was much higher more than that done by teachers from
Iceland at 750 hours from Iceland and Japan at 700 hours. from Japan.
Lower secondary teachers in Spain appeared to allocate have the smallest
number of hours with only 600 hours.

//It is also clear that the number of hours spent by lower secondary
schools also followed the same ranking. Approximately 760 hours was
spent by teachers in the USA, followed by 700 hours in Spain, while the
corresponding statistics for Japan and Iceland were both 600 hours.

Practice 2:
The bar charts illustrate the amounts of starting salary and as well as
salary after 3 years earned by of people working as policeman, nurse,
firefighter and underground driver in the UK while the table presents ed
the number of hours that they worked per week.

Overall, people in all the jobs witnessed a rise in their salary after 3 years;
, however, the differences were not really big.

Looking at the details, it is obvious that underground drivers received the

highest salaries. Their starting salaries were 5,000 pounds and after 3
years that number rose to 5,100 pounds. , followed by f Firefighters earned
the second highest salary when they started work at with 4000 pounds and
slightly more after 3 years of experience (4100 pounds) , respectively.The
salaries for police and nurses appeared to be much lower. While the
starting salaries and salaries after 3 years of a police officer were just 2100
pounds and 2300 pounds , nurses received 1800 pounds as starting salary
and 1,900 pounds after 3 years of experience.

they received 1900 pounds.

It is also clear that the number of working hours did not affect the salary

work the least number of hours (36 hours) per week.Nurses and police
officers worked for 38 and 40 hours, respectively. Meanwhile, the average
