Displayed in the bar graph are data for the proportion of students that are skilled in a foreign language. It
is abundantly evident that figures for Romania, India and Vietnam outstripped those for China, Thailand
and Russia, while greater totals on average were seen in females.
The three more prominent features among all six countries encompassed China, Thailand and Russia,
amounting to higher totals of women. Data for Romania and Vietnam comprised a larger modest gap
between males and females, with figures standing at 65% and 56%, respectively. The situation was
rather similar when it came to India, which numbered 56% and 68%, thereby creating a smaller larger
gap between the two genders.

The three lower profile sets of figures were for China, Thailand and Russia. Turning to China and Russia,
one notices moderately higher figures for women compared with men, with the number totallingtotaling
32% and 43%. Matters took shape somewhat differently with respect to Thai students, as more male
students were bilingual than females, amounting to 31% and 27%.

戴铭进 KIM:

Displayed on the bar chart are data for a variety occupations of different sexes in 2008 all over the world.
It is abundantly evident that figures for males strikingly outstripped those for females, while greater
totals of females were seen in the arts, history, and medicine occupations.

The nearly 11 percent more prominent features of females encompassed jobs in terms of art, amounting
to slightly higher totals of males. Data for history jobs comprised noticeably more females than males,
with figures standing at 70 percent and 30 percent, respectively .The situation was rather similar
different when it came to medicine occupations, which numbered 50 percent and 48 percent, thereby
creating a negligible difference.

The 30 percent lower profile sets of figures of females were for astronomy jobs and had obviously
smaller totals of people. Turning to engineering, one notices distinctively higher figures for males
compared with women, with the numbers totaling 10 percent and 90 percent. Matters took shape rather
similarly with respect to laws’ occupationsthe legal profession, as there were slightly more males than
females, amounting to 40 percent and 60 percent. Data for science jobs comprised evidently fewer
females than males, with figures standing at 34 percent and 66 percent, respectively.

关关雎鸠:

Displayed on the bar chart were the data of the proportions of students who proficient in the an non-
local language. It abundantly evident that figures for females in China, Romania, India, Russia and
Vietnam significantly outstripped those for males, while grater totals of males were seen in Thailand.

The three more prominent features among six countries encompassed Romania, India, Vietnam,
amounting to obviously higher totals of females. Data for Romania and Vietnam comprised dramatically
more females than males, with figures standing at approximately 64% and 56%, respectively. The
situation was rather similar when it came to India, which numbered nearly 68% and 56%, thereby
creating an less greater gap between thetwo genders.

The three lower profile sets of figures were for China, Russia and Thailand. Turning to Russia and China,
one notices sightlyslightly higher figures for females compared with males, with the numbers totaling
43% and 32%. Matters took shape somewhat differently with respect to Thai learners, as there were a
littleslightly more males than females, amounting to 32% and 27%.

kuma:

Displayed in the bar graph are data for the percentage of academic staff in seven different areas based
on gender. It is abundantly evident that figures for males outstripped those for females, while higher
totals of men were seen in the engineering field.

The four more prominent features in terms of male workers’ proportion encompassed astronomy,
engineering, law and science. Data for engineering specifically comprised significantly more men than
women, with figures standing at 90% and 10%, respectively. The situation was rather similar when it
came to astronomy, law and science, which numbered 65%, 60% and 68%, thereby creating a relatively
smaller gap between the two genders.

The three lower profile sets of figures for men were for arts, history and medicine, where the vast a clear
majority of workers were females. Turning to arts and medicine, one notices slightly more females
compared with males, with numbers totallingtotaling 54% and 50%. Matters took shape somewhat
differently with respect to history, as significantly more women appeared as academic staff than men,
amounting to 70% and 30%, respectively.

Displayed on the bar chart are data for proportion of pupils who can speak a foreign language fluently.

It is abundantly evident that figures for more percentages of people in Romania, India and Vietnam
outstripped those for China, Thailand and Russia, while greater totals of male students were seen in
Thailand.
The three more prominent features of percentage of students encompassed Romania, India and
Vietnam, amounting to vastly higher totals of pupils, especially females. Data for Romania comprised a
generally fewer lower proportion of students than India, with figures standing at 42% males and 54%
females as well as 56% boys and 68% girls, respectively. The situation was rather similar when it came to
Vietnam, which numbered 56% males and 38% females, thereby creating a large gap.

The lower profile sets of figures of proportion of were for Thailand, China and Russia and the latter two
had larger totals of females. Turning to China and Russia, one notices higher figures for females
compared with males, with the numbers totaling 31%and 16%, and 42% and 35%. Matters took shape
somewhat differently with respect to Thailand, as slightly more greater percentage of males than
females can speak a foreign language, amounting to 30% and 27%.

Mia:

Displayed on the bar chart are data for male and female academic workers in 2008. It is
abundantly evident that figures for arts, history and medicine in females outstripped
those for males, while greater totals of engineering, science, astronomy and law were
seen in the males.

The three more prominent features of subjects with more females than males
encompassed arts, history, and medicine. Data for the history comprised dramatically
more women than men, with figures standing at 70% and 30%, respectively. The
situation is rather similar when it came to arts and medicine, which numbered 55%
women and 45% men for the former and 50% and 48% for the latter, thereby creating a
smaller gap between males and females, correspondingly.

The four higher profiles sets of figures in sectors with more men than females were for
engineering, astronomy, law and science. Turning to engineering and science, both
notice tremendously higher figures for male workers compared with the females, with
the numbers totaling at 10% females and 90% males as well as 30% and 65%. Matters
took shape somewhat similarly with respect to law and astronomy, as there were
comparably morecomparatively greater percentage of males than females, amounting to
62% and 35% in astronomy, 68% and 30% in science.

OV:
-Romania and India
-China, Thailand , Russia and Vietnam

Displayed on the bar chart are data for students who have proficiency in a foreign
language in six countries. It is abundantly evident that figures for Romania and India
dramatically outstrip those for China, Thailand, Russia and Vietnam, with greater totals
of students being proficient in an exotic foreign language are seen in females.

The two more prominent features in the percentage of those bilingual students
encompass Romania and India, amounting to higher totals of females. Data for the
Romania comprises enormously more female students than the males, with figures
standing at 65% and 42%, respectively. The situation is rather similar when it comes to
the India, which numbers 67% and 56%, thereby creating a smaller gap between the
genders.

The lower profile sets of figures for students who have learned another language are
seen in China, Thailand, Russia and Vietnam and have a larger total of female students
as the aforementioned two nations. Turning to China, Russia and Vietnam, both noticed
generally higher figures for females compared with males. However, the sole exception
is found in Thailand with 3 more percentage points of males than females at 27%.
