LESSON 5 (DRAFT 2)

The given line graph compares the amount of fish, lamb, beef and chicken taken in weekly per
person between 1979 and 2004. In general, it is clear that the consumption of all these types of fish
and meat showed a downward trend throughout the period except for chicken, which bucked the
trend. It is also noticeable that the quantity of fish eaten recorded the lowest figure.

More specifically, in 1979, a person consumed roughly 210 grams of beef per week which was the
highest among the meat studied, whereas the figures for chicken, lamb and fish were approximately
140, 150 and 50 grams respectively. After that, the consumption of chicken rose dramatically and by
1994, it had surpassed beef and lamb to rank first with 220 grams.

In 2004, the amount of chicken consumed by a person weekly reached an all-time high of nearly
260 grams and took the lead, while that of fish was only around 50 grams. The figures for beef and
lamb were around 110 and 60 grams respectively per person per week.

The line graph illustrates the proportion of families with household devices in an undetermined
nation from 1920 to 2019. Overall, it is clear that all these types of electrical appliances shared an
upward trend throughout the period given. Additionally, refrigerator ownership was highest in the
majority of time and it also witnessed the most significant changes.

Turning to the details, in 1920, washing machines were head and shoulder above the others with
40% of households using this machine, followed by vacuum cleaners and refrigerators with 30%
and nearly 0% respectively. Afterward, the figure for households with refrigerators increased
sharply before surpassing that of washing machines and vacuum cleaners to rank first, at 90% by
1960. At the same time, the figures for washing machines and vacuum cleaners stayed at 70%.

In the next 59 years, the percentage of households with refrigerators and vacuum cleaners climbed
moderately and ended at 100% in 2019. Meanwhile The figure for washing machines fluctuated
with an upward trend and stood at only 75% in 2019.
