The pie charts illustrate the change of school spending in five different categories between 1981 and 2001. Overall, teachers’ salaries remained the largest area of spending throughout the twenty years period. While the salaries of other workers and resources displayed a downward trend, other categories showed the opposite.
Looking in more details, two fifths of school funding went to teachers’ salaries in the year of 1981, which increased considerably to 50% in 1991 before a slight dip to 45% by 2001. However, the second largest category at the beginning, other workers’ salaries dropped constantly by half to as low as 15%. By the end of the period, three times as much was spent on teachers’ salaries compared to other workers’ salaries.
In contrast, the proportion spent on furniture and equipment climbed despite the fluctuation to the second position at 23%. Book resources, on the other hand, dropped moderately from 15% to 9%, which was comparable to the increasing spending sector of insurance (8%) by 2001. (165 words)
Good!
Opposite trend, twenty year period, in more detail, two-fifths
Very accurate work!
The pie charts below present data of school spending on 5 different categories during three time points. Teachers spending stays the highest spending during surveyed years followed by “Other workers spending” during 1981 and 1991 and Furniture and Equipment in 2001 as the second rank of spending. Teachers’ Salary spending raised by 10 percent in 1991 but then felt by 5 percent in 2001. While the Furniture and Equipment spending have dramatically increased in 2001 overtaking the “ Other workers Salaries, the “Resources and e.g. Books” have fallen sharply in 2001 in comparison to 1981 and 1991. Insurance spending experienced a steady rate of increase during the surveyed years.
Good work, Behi!
It should be longer and broken up into paragraphs, of course.
The given pie charts compare total school expenditure on five different categories in three different educational years.
Overall, it can be easily seen from the charts that while other workers’ salaries decreased regularly and spending on other three categories fluctuated; insurance outlay increased steadily. However, teacher salaries were the category with the highest expenditure whereas insurance spending was the lowest figure in three separate years.
It is clear that most of the spending in all given educational years was on teacher salaries which ranged from 40 percent to 50 percent while insurance spending ranged from 2 percent to 8 percent. Therefore, there was a twofold difference between the amount of money spent on teacher salaries and insurance expenses in 1981. Although the difference in spending between these two categories decreased by fivefold in 2001, insurance expenses, which was only 8 percent, remained the lowest percentage.
In terms of other workers’ salaries, a systematic decrease was seen from 1981 to 2001, with a drop by %6 from 1981 to 1991 and a drop by %7 from 1991 to 2001. On the other hand, spending on resources and furniture and equipment was same by 15 percent in 1981 while the percentage of spending on resources dropped by 4 percent in 2001 and the figure of expenditure on furniture and equipment rose by 8 percent from %15 to %23.
Good work, Nurut!
on the other threee, – careful with some punctuation too -, you could be more concise linking the data as well.
Keep it up!
Hi Dave, thank you for sharing the insights on analyzing pie charts with us. I just have one question regarding this task 1 – how did you figure out there was a 30% increase of spending on Furniture and equipment?
Good point noticing that, Evander – wasn’t thinking when I wrote it I guess!
Don’t make that mistake on your test!
