The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984

Sample answer

The two charts compare the populations of France and India in terms of age

distribution by gender in the year 1984.

It is clear that the population of India was younger than that of France in

1984, with a noticeably larger proportion of people aged under 20. France, on

the other hand, had a significantly larger percentage of elderly

inhabitants.

In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age

bracket above this contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the

population. France’s population, by contrast, was more evenly distributed across

the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) for each

five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of

all French people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was

only 2%.

Looking more closely at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of

French women than men in every cohort from age 50 upwards. For example, almost

3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were women, while just under 2% were men. No

significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian population chart.

(199 words, band 9)The bar chart compares the amount of time spent by people

in the UK on three different types of phone call between 1995 and 2002.

It is clear that calls made via local, fixed lines were the most popular

type, in terms of overall usage, throughout the period shown. The lowest figures

on the chart are for mobile calls, but this category also saw the most dramatic

increase in user minutes.

In 1995, people in the UK used fixed lines for a total of just over 70

billion minutes for local calls, and about half of that amount of time for

national or international calls. By contrast, mobile phones were only used for

around 4 billion minutes. Over the following four years, the figures for all

three types of phone call increased steadily.

By 1999, the amount of time spent on local calls using landlines had reached

a peak at 90 billion minutes. Subsequently, the figure for this category fell,

but the rise in the other two types of phone call continued. In 2002, the number

of minutes of national / international landline calls passed 60 billion, while

the figure for mobiles rose to around 45 billion minutes.
