model
answer:
The pie chart shows the
worldwide distribution of sales of Coca-Cola in
the year
2000 and the graph shows the
change in share prices between 1996 and 2001.
In the year 2000, Coca-Cola
sold a total of 17.1 billion cases of their fizzy
drink
product worldwide. The largest
consumer was North America, where 30.4 per
cent of the total volume was purchased.
The second largest consumer was Latin
America. Europe and Asia purchased 20.5
and 16.4 per cent of the total volume
respectively, while Africa and the
Middle East remained fairly small consumers at
7 per cent of the total volume of
sales.
Since 1996, share
prices for Coca-Cola have fluctuated. In that
year, shares
were valued at
approximately $$35. Between 1996 and 1997, however,
prices
rose significantly to $$70 per
share. They dipped a little in mid-1997 and then
peaked at $$80 per share in mid-98. From
then until 2000 their value fell
consistently but there was a slight
rise in mid-2000.

Freedonia.
Write a report for a university teacher
describing the information
shown.

this
task.
model
answer:
The two decades between
1975 and 1995 brought significant changes in
the representation of women in
Freedonia's work force, according to
the graphs.
In
1975, for example, some 300 000 men and 250 000
women worked in
the communications
sector. Twenty years later, though the number of
men remained unchanged, the number of
women rose to 550 000.
A
similar
situation
was
seen
in
the
wholesale
and
retail
trade
sector,
where the number of
women rose from about 550 000 in 1975 to almost
800 000 two decades later. The number
of men in this sector remained
stable
over the period, at around 700 000.
Women also made gains in both the
finance/banking industries and in
the
defence-related public sector. Whereas
some 125 000 women worked
in finance and
banking institutions in 1975, the number increased
to
450 000 by 1995. The number of men
grew only marginally from 425 000
to
480
000
over
the
same
period.
In
defence,
the
number
of
men
declined
from 225 000
to 200 000, while the number of women rose from 25
000
to over 100 000.
Two sectors that retained stable
employment numbers for both men and
women were manufacturing, which had
about 300 000 women and 650 000
men
in
both
surveyed
years,
and
the
public
sector
(non-defence),
which
employed 650 000 women and 850 000 men.
Thus, women appear to have
made gains in the Freedonian work force
but not at the expense of
men.
The table
below shows social and economic indicators for
four countries
in 1994, according to
United Nations statistics.
Describe the
information shown below in your own words. What
implications do the indicators have for
the countries?

model answer:
A
glance at four indicators of economic and social
conditions in four countries,
Canada,
Japan, Peru and Zaire, in 1994 reflects the great
differences that exist
between
wealthier and poorer nations.
The table shows that Japan and Canada
had annual incomes of $$15 760 and $$11
100 per person, respectively. These
figures were overwhelmingly greater than
the corresponding figures of $$160 in
Peru and $$130 in Zaire.
Health indicators, too, reflected
overall levels of affluence in the four nations.
Life expectancy at birth, for example,
was higher among the more economically
developed countries. Japan reported the
highest life expectancy, 78. This was
followed by Canada, 76; Peru, 51; and
Zaire, 47; This suggests that richer
societies are able to put more money
into health care than poorer ones.
The amount of calories consumed daily
per person roughly followed the same
ranking. Canadians each consumed some 3
326 calories per day while the
Japanese
took 2846 calories. The corresponding figures for
Peru and Zaire were
1927 and 1749,
respectively.
Literacy
rates among adults, too, were higher in wealthier
countries, no doubt a
reflection of
ability to invest in education. Canada and Japan
both reported
literacy rates of 99%,
while Peru claimed 68%. Zaire, the least
economically
developed of the four
countries, had a literacy rate of 34%.
The data appear to confirm the often
cited link between national wealth and
health and education standards.
The diagram below shows the
average hours of unpaid work per week
done by people in different categories.
(Unpaid work refers to such
activities
as childcare in the home, housework and
gardening.)
Describe the information
presented below, comparing results for men
and women in the categories shown.
Suggest reasons for what you see.

model answer:
The diagram reveals that the number of
hours per week spent in unpaid work is
unequally distributed between men and
women.
In households where
there are no children, women are reported to work
some 30
hours per week in such tasks as
housework and gardening. Men's contribution to
these unpaid jobs averages a
considerably lower 18 hours.
When children enter the household,
however, the inequality becomes even more
pronounced. In families of 1 - 2
children, men maintain approximately the same
number of hours of unpaid work as in
childless households, but the number of
hours women work in the home rises to
52 per week, much of it, on doubt, due
to childcare responsibilities.
Interestingly, when there are three or
more children in the household, men are
found to work even fewer hours around
the house than before the appearance of
the third child. Whereas women's unpaid
hours rise to approximately 56 per
week, the corresponding figure for men,
16, actually represents a decrease.
The
data suggest that the increased presence of women
in the paid work force
has yet to lead
to an increased role for men in the
home.
