SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar charts give information about options UK graduates and postgraduates chose apart from full -time work after they left their colleges in the year 2008.

To specify, nearly 30,000 graduates pursued higher education and this figure was over 10 times as high as that of postgraduates with only around 2,700 students. Part-time work category constituted the second largest share of total numbers with 17,735 graduates and 2,535 postgraduates respectively.
The number of unemployed graduates was nearly half that of those continuing their further education, standing at 16,235 students, while the figure for postgraduates who were out of job followed the similar pattern. Although voluntary work was the least popular for two types of college leavers shown, the former had approximately ten times more people than the latter.
