Analytical Paragraph

Example Question 1: Below is a graph given showing birth and death rates in
a country from 1901 to 2101. Write an analytical paragraph (100-150 words).

Answer 1:
The graph shows birth and death rates starting from 1901 till 2101.
Since 1901, the birth rate has remained more than the death rate until 2041. Birth rate
was 20000 in 1901 and started increasing gradually. It peaked in 1961 to around 65000.
From 1961, birth rate has fluctuated multiple times between 50000 and 60000. It is
expected to decline for the coming years reaching approximately 42000 by 2101. On
the other hand, the death rate stood at around 10000 in 1901 and then has increased
steadily. It is expected to rise strikingly from 2021 before levelling off to approximately
60000 between 2061 and 2081. The graph indicates a slight decline in deaths in the
year 2101. The graph shows the huge gap between birth rate and death during 1961 to
2001. However, this gap is expected to reduce in the later years. Overall, as opposed to
the prevailing trends, the death rate will be more than the birth rate in the later half of
the 21st century.

Example Question 2: The chart shows the division of household tasks by


gender in Great Britain. Write an analytical paragraph describing the chart
given in not more than 200 words.
Answer 2:
The chart shows the number of minutes per day spent by British men and women in
doing household tasks. On an average, the women spend about four hours doing
household tasks whereas the men spend less than two and half hours. The tasks on
which women spend more time than men include cooking, cleaning house, taking care
of the children and laundry. In doing all these tasks, women spend approximately 200
minutes which is almost three times the time spent by men in these tasks. On the other
hand, men spend twice the time than women in doing tasks like gardening and
maintenance of odd jobs in the house. Men spend the highest time, almost 50 minutes,
in gardening and petcare. While the women spend only 30 minutes for these tasks. The
time spent by men in washing, ironing and sewing clothes is as low as 2 minutes per
day as opposed to 25 minutes spent by women. In short, women spend far more time
doing household chores than men whilst men prefer to do gardening, petcare and
maintaining odd jobs.

Example Question 3: The pie chart shows the proportion of people from
different households living in poverty in the UK in 2002. Write an analytical
paragraph to describe the information in 100-120 words.
Answer 3:
The given pie chart illustrates seven different categories of households living in poverty
in the UK in 2002.
It is clearly evident from the pie chart that 26% of the total poverty-stricken households
are those of sole parents. Single people without children account for the second highest
proportion with 24%. In contrast to couples without children that accounts for just 9%,
couples with children account for 15% of the poor households. Single aged persons and
aged couples proportion for 12% together for poor households. Overall, 14% of all
households in the UK were living under poverty. The younger generation had a greater
poor percentage than their aged counterparts. Couples without children had better
economic conditions than those with children.

Example Question 4: The following table shows details about the internet
activities for six categories for different age groups. Write an analytical
paragraph for the table given in around 150-200 words.
Answer 4:
The given table suggests the internet activities of seven age groups ranging from teens
to those in their seventies for six different kinds of activities. The table shows that the
younger generation is more interested in online games and news, while the older
generation spends time on the internet to research and buy products.
It is evident from the table that teens mainly use the internet for games (as high as
81%), news and downloads and are interested in searching for people or friends or
doing any product research. The middle-age group (people in 20s to 60s) is highly
interested in getting news, doing product research and buying products, the percentage
ranging from 70-80%. The internet activity which gets the least time is searching for
people. All the age groups spend less than 30% of their internet time on the same. The
amount of time spent on downloads decreases with age and gets as low as 6% (for
people in 70s). Overall, the table suggests that teenagers are most likely to spend time
playing games and doing downloads. On the other side, older people are interested in
researching and buying products. People spend the least amount of time searching for
other people online.
