Ielts Writing Task 1 - The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by a particular UK school |
The given pie charts illustrate spending
patterns on different items in a UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001.
Expenditure on salaries – teachers and other
staff – cumulatively formed the largest head of expenses, 60% in 2001, even
though the quantum spent on wages of other workers declined continuously from
1981 to 2001, from 28% to 22%, and remuneration given to teaching staff rose
from 40% to 50% between 81 and 91, but declined by 5% in next decade.
Ratio of money spent on resources, like books
registered a rise of 5% from 81 to 91, but saw a substantial decline in the
next decade – more than 50%, fell to 9%. However, the trend of expenses on
furniture and equipment registered a completely reverse pattern. Spending on
this head, although fell significantly from 15% to 5% between 81 and 91,
registered a three-fold rise to 23% by 2001.
