brackets (nhóm tuổi) living alone while the pie chart gives information about
bedroom number in their houses in the year 2011.

Overall, it is evident that the ratio of single men to single women varies (changes)
according to ages and 2-bedroom houses are the most popular/ubiquitous one.

By closely examining the bar chart, it can be noticed that the proportion of single
men was higher than single women’s between the age 16 and 49. Specifically/To
be more specific, the most distinct difference in these age groups was in the 35-49
category with men accounting for/making up/constituting 65% and women 35%
living by themselves. However, the higher age brackets witnessed the reverse
trend where women outnumbered/surpassed men and the difference grew more
pronounced/marked (outstanding) as the age increases. It is obvious that the age
of 85 and over/above had the largest discrepancy/difference between men and
women living alone/living by themselves/living on their own (24% and 76%,
respectively).

The designated/presented line graph illustrates the information about the average
spending on a yearly basis on three types of services namely mobile phone
services, national fixed-line services, and international fixed-line services in the
U.S./USA over a decade from 2001 to 2010.

Overall, it is evident that the annually expenditure on mobile phone services

increased significantly while/whereas the opposite was true for national fixed-line
services expenditure. Moreover, the figure for international fixed-line services
remained fairly/relatively/comparatively stable/unchanged.

By closely examining the line chart, it can be noticed that the American spent their
money on/invested their money in cell phone services about $200 at the beginning
of the period. Furthermore, the data/figure for international landline phone
services stood at slightly higher than that (= the figure) for cell phone services, (with
the figure recored at $250). In striking/sheer contrast, there was an average of
nearly $700 invested in national landline phone services by the U.S.
residents/citizens. From half a decade onwards/Over the five subsequent
years/Over the five following years, the mean spending on this type of service in
the USA witnessed a considerable decrease/drop/fall, down to $500, which was
also the growing figure for cell phone services from the starting point of the time
frame.

Further inspection reveals that, from the year 2006 onwards, it is immediately
apparent that the expenditure on mobile phone services on a yearly basis/per year
rose and even surpassed that of national fixed-line services, and this kind of
communication became the most popular/common means by the American, at
$750 at the end of the researched period. Interestingly, however, is that the
statistics for national fixed-line services decreased gradually/steadily,
ending/closing the period at about $400. Lastly, there was stability in the data for
international fixed-line services by the U.S residents/inhabitants, with the figure
remaining at around $300 in 2010.
