Task 1: The chart shows how frequently people in the USA ate in fast-food restaurants between 2003 and 2013. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

This

chart illustrates the frequency of eating from fast-food outlets by US citizens between 2003 and 2013 which is divided into six categories from going every day to not going at all.

Overall

, once a

week

and one to two times a month were the predominant categories with the highest percentage of the masses going there once a

week

in 2006

while

monthly or bimonthly visits became more popular in 2013. The extremes of daily or never going to

such

outlets were least common. In 2003, almost one-third of Americans went to fast-food chains on a weekly basis and similar figures were noted for monthly or twice-monthly visitors.At that time, the lowest proportion of people were those who ate daily at less than 5 per

cent

.There was an upward trend for daily goers and those having several visits per

week

in 2006 by three per

cent

.

On the other hand

, monthly figures declined by 5 per

cent

.

On the contrary

, the eating habits changed in 2013 with a drop in weekly or several times per

week

dine-outs by 4 per

cent

whereas

, once or twice monthly fast-food eating rose by 7 per

cent

.

However

, there was not much change in the eating plan of those going daily, or non-users of junk food which remained low at less than 5 per

cent

.Occasional eating in a year

also

remained static at 15 per

cent

over ten years.
