SAMPLE ANSWER
The given bar charts indicate the proportion of money that people in France, Germany and England spent on food and other products in 1998 and 2008.
Overall, it can be seen that all three countries saw significant increases in the proportion of purchases of both food and other goods over the examined period.
In 1998, approximately 15% and 10% of the money French citizens spent was on foodstuffs and other goods, respectively. After 10 years, figures for both categories dramatically climbed to 40%. In Germany, there was a mild increase of 5% of money spent on food, at 25% in 1998, and 30% in 2008. The figures for money spent on other goods were approximately 5% lower during the same years.
In England however, buyers spent only 10% on food in 1998 and 15% in 2008. Meanwhile, the figures for money spent on other goods experienced a surge from about 8% in 1998 to 35% in 2008.
