Sample Answer
The table compares the total family income per
household and their expenditure on food and clothes in
2010 and 2013. In contrast, the pie chart portrays the
disbursement of food and clothes broken down into
five categories.

We can observe from the table that the total income of

the average UK household had fallen in 2013. In
contrast, their spending on food and clothes gradually
increased between the years. Specifically, the ratio of
fruits and vegetables surged in 2013.

Throughout 2010-13, the total household income

fairly decreased by £4000 to £25,000. Despite the
declining trend, their expenditure on food and clothes
showed a hike of £1000 from £14000 to £15000 in
2013.

On analyzing the expenditure on food and clothes in

both the pie-charts, the proportion of both clothes,
meat & fish gradually declined by 10% which reached
12% and 15% respectively in 2013.

On the contrary, expenditure on fruits & vegetables and

dairy products was quite identical in 2010 at 20% and
15%. But then, there was a 5% and 15% upsurge in the
expenses of the former and the latter in 2013. In
contrast, the figure for other food and drinks remained
stable at 18% throughout the given period.
