Task 1 The chart below gives information about how families in one country spent their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The chart illustrates how families used their weekly revenue in a country in 1968 and in 2018.

overall

, it can be seen that in 1968 food became the highest priority

whereas

Leisure took the biggest proportion after five decades. In 1978, the majority of families’ weekly salary was used for food payments, counted at about 35%.

Furthermore

, just under 10% of weekly earnings is allocated to pay for other needs

such

as leisure, transport, and personal and household goods, with fuel and power taking the lowest percentage. Turning to the time in 2018, more than 20% of weekly wages is used for leisure charge, showing more than twofold from 1968 followed by housing and food little less than 20%.

Additionally

, money spent on transport nearly doubled in the previous five decades by roughly 15%,

while

household goods still remained just below 8%.

Moreover
