The graph below shows the top priorities by business companies in the USA in

2016.

The bar graph outlines the comparative analysis of the American company's top five priorities in
2016 according to the size of the company. The striking feature to note is that irrespective of the
size of the companies, primary importance was given to raising the number of contacts and
converting them to customers.

Looking deep at the details, every company's two top priorities were to keep on increasing leads
and to turn those leads into customers. Small businesses, with 0-25 employees, gave equal
emphasis to these two aspects. But a company with 26-200 employees gave the lead generation
and customer conversion the highest priority.

Since small and medium companies spent more on lead generation, they focused less on cost
minimisation to gain customers. Contrary to this, 30% priority was set by large organisations (more
than 201 employees) to reduce this cost and they set the target to earn profit from existing
customers. Medium-sized industry indicated 47% to both increasing revenues derived from
existing customers and providing ROI of marketing activities, whereas, 55% and 58% precedence
from a large company and 43% and 33% from the small company was assigned respectively to the
same objectives.
The figure shows the results of a survey of 1000 adolescents in five different
countries. The participants were asked at what age they believed certain rights
and responsibilities should be granted to young people.

The provided column graph summarises the result of a study and indicates what people in five
different countries think to be the appropriate age to be allowed to have certain rights and
responsibilities. Generally speaking, citizens’ opinion regarding the right age for marriage, voting
and prosecution for crime greatly varies.

As is given in the illustration, people in Japan and the UK opine that they should not marry until
they are at least 20 years old while Americans believe that this age should be exactly 18. On the
contrary, Mexicans and Egyptians agreed that they should be allowed to get married just after they
cross 15. In terms of the voting power, Japanese state that 20 years is the right age for them while
Americans and Egyptians express it should be 18. Both British and Mexicans want their voting
right at 16 years, on the contrary.
Finally, American people give their opinion that someone should be charged by the law for
committing any crime when they become 12 years old. Japanese seems like have a different
opinion as they believe that someone should not be imposed with criminal offence until they turn
18. Survey participants in other three countries expressed that before 14 they should not be
punished by law for any misdeed.
 The graph below shows the number of complaints made about noise to Environmental Health
authorities in the city of Newtown between 1980 and 1996.

The line graph compares the amount of noise complaints to environment health authorities
made by people in Newtown from 1908and 1996. As can be seen from the graph, there
was an increase in noise complaints over the 16-year period. Another summary that can be
drawn from the graphs is that the bigger number of complaints noise to environments
health authorities were because of factories and road works.
In 1980, the traffic noise started from 300 complaints per year and it stabilised until it
plummeted to a low point of 200 in 1986 till 1988, then it made a peak in 1992 and
continued to rose steadily until the end of 1996. On the other hand, the number of
complaints about heavy industries started its growth from 400 complaints in 1980 and had
steeply increased three years on, since that time it remained reasonably stable during the
next 13 years.
Although, the number of complaints for road works started at a high point of 600 at the
beginning of 1980, from 1980 onwards it declined steadily to a point of 70, respectively.
However, the figure fluctuated slightly through the time between 1982 and 1996. It can be
seen that domestic household had the bigger complaints amount at the end of 1996 of
point 1200, even though it began at 500 in 1980.
The diagrams show a structure that is used to generate electricity from wave
power.

The diagrams show the structure and processes of generating electricity from the wave
power. As is observed from the presented illustration, the electricity can be produced using
a structure near the sea and both the tide and the ebb-tide is used to rotate the turbine to
produce the electricity.

According to the given pictorial, the electricity producing machine works in two ways.
Firstly, the structure is placed near a sea so that the wave water gets inside the chamber
and creates an air pressure that would rotate the turbine placed inside a column. The
rotation of the turbine produces electricity which is stored in the cells and this electricity can
be passed and used. The whole structure is placed near the sea, adjacent to a cliff or sea
wall.

The second illustration depicts how the electricity can be produced using the ebb tide of
the sea. During the ebb, the water gets off from the chamber and the air pressure is
created again from the opposite direction and this rotates the turbine. The rotation of the
turbine produces electricity and supplies it to the storage.
 The graph below shows the alcohol-related deaths in 7 different countries and the average beer
consumption in 2005.

The table data shows the alcohol-related mortality in 2005 in 7 different countries and per person beer
consumption in these countries in 2002. Overall, the most alcohol-related deaths were in the Czech
Republic in 2005 while the average beer consumption there was also the highest. Death from alcohol intake
was more prevalent among men than that of women.

More than 5 million people departed in 2005 from the alcohol intake in the given seven countries and it was
significantly higher among men. There is a connection between the per capita beer consumption with the
death from alcohol-related problems.

In the Czech Republic, on an average, each citizen drank 132 litres beer in 2005 and that caused the
highest number of alcohol-related death in this country (about 1,36,9000 death). German consumed the
second highest amount of beer and it caused the second highest death in this country which was about
1,185,000. Lithuanian population drank comparatively fewer litres of beers on an average and the least
number of people (about 125,000) died from the alcohol-related diseases there. Austria, Ireland, Canada
and Estonia had comparatively higher alcohol consumption and higher death rates from alcohol.

Interestingly the alcohol-related death in Canada was higher than the Estonia and Lithuania though
Canadian people consumes comparatively less quantity of beers than the latter two countries. Finally, the
percentage of females who died from alcohol-related problems was lower than their male counterparts.

The pie charts below compare water usage in San Diego, California and the rest of the
world.
mm

The pie charts give information about the water used for residential, industrial and
agricultural purposes in San Diego County, California, and the world as a whole.

It is noticeable that more water is consumed by homes than by industry or agriculture in the
two American regions. By contrast, agriculture accounts for the vast majority of water used
worldwide.

In San Diego County and California State, residential water consumption accounts for 60%
and 39% of total water usage. By contrast, a mere 8% of the water used globally goes to
homes. The opposite trend can be seen when we look at water consumption for
agriculture. This accounts for a massive 69% of global water use, but only 17% and 28% of
water usage in San Diego and California respectively.

Such dramatic differences are not seen when we compare the figures for industrial water
use. The same proportion of water (23%) is used by industry in San Diego and worldwide,
while the figure for California is 10% higher, at 33%.
The charts below show the reasons why people travel to work by bicycle or by car.

The first chart shows the reasons why some people in the UK prefer to cycle to work. Conversely, the
second chart gives reasons for those who choose to go to work by car.

In general, it seems that the majority of people who cycle to work do this for health and environmental
reasons. By contrast, those who travel by car want to have a more comfortable journey over longer
distances.

The highest percentage of those who favour cycling say that this is because riding a bicycle to work is
healthier than driving. 30% of them gave this as a reason. The same amount of people, 30% say that
they cycle to work because it causes less pollution. 13% of people cycle to work because it is cheaper
than driving. Surprisingly, a similar amount of people said that they cycled to work because it is faster
than travelling by car.

In contrast to this, the percentage who prefer to travel by car because it is more comfortable is 40%.
The two least important reasons for going to work by car, with 14% and 11% respectively, is that
people need to carry things to work and that it is safer than cycling to work. Finally, 16% say they
prefer driving because it is faster than cycling. This contrasts with the cyclists who ride to work
because it is faster than driving.
The graph below shows the average daily spend of three categories of international visitor to New
Zealand from 1997 to 2017.

The line graph compares three types of traveller to New Zealand between 1997 and 2017 in terms
of their average daily expenditure.
It is noticeable that spending by these international visitors was at its highest between the years
2000 and 2003. Overall, business travellers spent the most per day, while people visiting friends or
relatives spent the least.
In 1997, business visitors to New Zealand spent an average of almost $260 per day, while
holidaymakers spent around $190 and people visiting friends or relatives spent less than $120.
Over the following five years, spending by all three types of traveller increased dramatically, to
peaks of around $330, $270 and $220. However, visitor spending suddenly fell again between
2003 and 2005.
From 2005 to 2015, the daily expenditure of business travellers and tourists fluctuated around the
$200 mark, whereas people visiting relations or friends spent roughly 60 to 80 dollars less per day.
By 2017, daily spending had risen to approximately $250, $210 and $140 respectively for
vacationers, business people and those visiting loved ones.
 Question:
The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974
and 2002 by four different modes of transport. Summarize the information by selecting
and reporting the main features, and making comparisons where relevant.

The given line graph compares the amount of goods transported in the United Kingdom from
1974 to 2002 via road, water, rail and pipeline.

As an overall trend, road transportation and water transportation carried more quantity of goods
in the UK than the quantity carried by pipelines and rails. It is also worth pointing out that the
amount of goods carried by all transportation increased over the period.

According to the given data, initially in 1974, more than 70 million tons of goods were
transported to the UK on the road while around 40 million tons were transported via water
and rail transportations. Least quantity of goods (around 5 million tons) was transported in
pipelines in this same year. Over the year the quantity transported via road increased with some
fluctuations and reached to about 100 million tons in 2002. The water transports were used
more for transporting goods to the UK and except in 1998, the amount of goods transported
in the waterway kept on increasing and finally reached to over 60 million tons in 2002.

Turning to the remaining modes of transport, it can be seen that the use of rail transportation
systems for carrying goods to the UK got reduced as less quantity of goods were transported in later
years but finally, the quantity was at 40 million tons in 2002. Finally, goods carried by pipelines
increased over the year and reached over 20 million tons in 2002.
