(1) Country of Origin of New Cars Sold in the USA in 2000 & 2005

The table illustrates the number of new cars sold in the USA in 2000 and 2005 and the four major countries that they came from. In general,  there was a slight decrease in the number of cars sold over the period and, in particular, in the number of American cars.

In 2000, the largest number of cars sold in the USA was locally produced Americans cars, at 4.2 millio. 2.2 million Japanese cars were sold, and smaller numbers from South Korea and Germany, at 1.2 million and 0.2 million respectively. In 2005, this changed significantly. The number of American cars dropped considerably, to 2.6 million,and there was a significant rise in the number of Japanese cars sold, at 3.4 million. Sales of South Korea cars stayed unchanged, at 1.1 million, and there was a small increase in German cars, to 0.3 million in 2005.

(2) Income of Atlantics City Workforce

The table shows the changes in four income groups of the Atlantics City workforce over the two decades, from 1985 to 2005. Overall, the percentage of people in the lowest income bracket dropped, while there was a rise in the other three groups. There was a significant drop in the percentage of people earning $15,000 to $25,000 over the period, from 41% in 1985 to 31% in 1995 and only 18% in 2005. Total numbers also dropped in this group. In contrast, the group earning $25,000 to $40,000 grew from approximately 29,000 in 1985 to 64,000 in 2005, though the group grew by only 8%  in total, and increased by only 1% over the second decade, from 40% to 41%. The $40,000 to $60,500 income group, which had a ten percent increase over the period, grew in numbers from 16,500 to 45,000 people. Although the highest income bracket had the smallest growth, it trebled/tripled(成長三倍) in numbers from 6,200 to 19,500.(160 words)

(3) Cambridge 4 Table Sample

The table gives a breakdown of the different types of family who were living in poverty in Australia in 1999.

On average, 11% of all households, comprising almost two million people were in this position. However, those consisting of only one parent or a single adult had almost double this proportion of poor people with 21% and 19% respectively.

Couples generally tended to be better off with lower poverty levels for couples without children (7%) than those with children (12%). It is noticeable that for both types of household with children, a higher than average proportion were living in poverty at this time.

Older people were generally less likely to be poor, though once again this trend favoured elderly couples (only 4%) rather than single elderly people (6%).

Overall, the table suggests that households or single adults and those with children were more likely to be living in poverty than those consisting of couples.
