The graph below illustrates the percentage changes in Australian exports to four countries :

Japan, the US, China and India between 1990 and 2012. Overall, the figure for China and India
experienced an upward trend while other countries declined over the period surveyed.
Additionally, the percentage of Australian exports to China became the largest by the end.

Looking first at Japan and the US, the proportion of Australian exports to Japan dropped
significantly from roughly 26% in the beginning to 20% in the next 5 years. Afterwards, this data
declined gradually to end at about 17% in 2012. The figure for the US fluctuated around 10%
and reached a peak of around 11% in 2000 before falling considerably to its bottom of 5% . This
number then climbed to finish the time span at about 7%.

Turning to China and India, the data of Australian exports to China went up sharply from about
3% in 1990 to 25% in the next 10 years. After that, this figure peaked at approximately 28% in
the end of the period shown. The proportion for India remained stable around 2% for 3 years
before rising steeply and then soaring to its highest percentage : 7% in 2010. Finally, there was
a moderate drop in proportion till it reached exactly 5% at the end of the period surveyed..
The chart given illustrates the information about the percentage of people having their own car
per household in the UK for 30 years , between 1975 and 2005. In particular, although those
who own no car had a significant figure, its percentage experienced an downward trend. 2-car
and 3-car ownership rate, on the other hand, decreased over the period surveyed. Additionally,
while the data of car ownership fluctuated over the period shown, it is obvious that having 1
car became the most common situation by the end.

Looking first at the proportion of people who owned no car, in spite of its significant
percentage, this data dropped dramatically from roughly 44% to exactly 25% in the next 10
years . After that, this figure nearly remained stable around 24% till 1995 before decreasing
modestly to approximately 22% in the end of the period surveyed.

Now turning to the others, it can be seen that those had only 1 car made up for the highest
percentage. This data started with exactly 45% before declining sharply to its bottom of roughly
37% in the next ten years. Afterward, its figure rose significantly and finished the time span of
accurately 45%- which resemble to its beginning. On the other hand, owning 3 cars seen the
infrequent situation over the period surveyed. Its data virtually remained stable around 5% for
roughly 20 years, from 1975 to 1995. After that, there was a significant growth till it peaked at
approximately 9% at the end. Regarding to the proportion of people who having 2 cars, it is
notable that there was no drop. Beginning with roughly 6% , this figure showed an upward
tendency before soaring to approximately 14% in 1985. After that, it still went up gradually and
then reached its highest figure : roughly 19% in the end of the period surveyed.
