The two tables below show responses of different age groups to a questionnaire with their opinion about the range of books and the non-print material of a local library. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The given table graphs compare the ratings regarding the print and non-print resources of a local library. It is interesting to see that almost half the above 40 age group preferred not to comment on the non-print material, which is computer software and DVDs.
Regarding the range of books, the responses of 15-39 age group and those above 40 were almost similar. Almost half the under 15s gave the rating of very good, whereas a little over a quarter each of the other two age groups thought so. Satisfactory rating was given by approximately 50% of those above 15, whereas a third of the under 15 age group rated the range of books as satisfactory. Nearly 1 in 10 of the children below 15 were not happy with the range of books, but a quarter each of the other two groups rated the range of books as not good.
When asked about the non-print material, almost 50% of the under 15s were not happy. A quarter each rated these resources as very good and satisfactory. Almost 50% of those aged between 15 and 39 said that the non-print resources were very good, 30% were satisfied and about a fifth were not happy with these resources.
A very small minority of this age group did not comment on these resources. In contrast, just-under 50% of those over 40, did not comment on them. About 11% rated these resources as very good, but a fifth rated them as satisfactory and a similar proportion gave a ‘not good’ rating.
