SAMPLE ANSWER
The table provides information about the weekly food consumption of people in a particular European country in three years (1992, 2002, and 2012).
Overall, vegetables made up the largest part of people’s diets in all three years, while cheese made up the smallest portion of people’s food intake. It is also notable that the trends remained the same over the three given years.
The consumption of vegetables and meat was the highest in people’s diets in 1992, at 2140 grams and 1148 grams respectively. The amount of vegetables people consumed rose slightly over the years to reach 2220 grams in 2012. There was a small increase of more than 60 grams in the amount of meat in 2002; however, the figure dropped back to 1132 grams in 2012.
Wheat, beans, and cheese made up the rest of people’s diets, at 837 grams, 532 grams, and 113 grams respectively in 1992. These figures all grew over the next twenty years to reach 977 grams, 590 grams, and 125 grams respectively in 2012.
