The line graph shows the population in one European country.

The line graph reveals both the birth rate and death rate in a European country during the year
of 1950 to 2050.
In 1950, the total number of people in this country was approximately 780,000, and after that
it soared to nearly 1,000,000. However, after the peak in 1970, the number of population
experienced a decline from 1971 to 1990 and it dropped to about 580,000. After then, it
increased again in the following two decades, at around 700,000 in 2010. The birth rate is
expected to be stable at 700,000 before 2050.
Compared with the birth rate, the figure of the death rate was much more stable. During the
year of 1950 to 2010, the death rate remained at around 700,000. However, it seems that there
will be a continuous rise in the number of the death population in the near future, reaching
800,000 by the year of 2050.
The three pie charts compare the popularity of five different kinds of books according to
the sales of a bookseller during the period from 1972 to 2012.

In 1972, the percentages of adult fiction and children’s fiction equaled, which were 20%, and
then the figures experienced a gradual increase of 5% and 2% in the following 20 years.
However, the figure for adult fiction soared to 45% in 2012 while the figure for children’s fiction
continued to rise and arrived at 25%.

Biography was less popular than other books in this 40-year period, and the gaps were 5%, 5%
and 4% respectively. As to the travel books, they gained the least popularity in 1972, but
outnumbered biography in the year 1992 when the figure dropped in the rest years and reached
10% in 2012.

Overall, the proportion of fictions increased remarkably in this period while the popularity of
other categories of books had a marked decrease.
The two graphs show that oil was the major energy source in the USA in both 1980 and 1990
and that coal, natural gas and hydroelectric power remained in much the same proportions. On
the other hand, there was a dramatic rise in nuclear power, which doubled its percentage over the
ten years.

Oil supplied the largest percentage of energy, although the percentage decreased from 42% in
1980 to 33% in 1990. Coal in 1990 was the second largest source of energy, increasing its
proportion to 27% from 22% in the previous decade. Natural gas, the second largest source in
1980 at 26%, decreased its share very slightly to provide 25% of America’s energy ten years
later.

There was no change in the percentage supplied by hydroelectric power which remained at 5%
of the total energy used. Nuclear power the greatest change: in 1990 it was 10%, twice that of the
1980s.
