The first chart below gives information about the money spent by British parents on their children’s sports between 2008 and 2014. The second chart shows the number of children who participated in three sports in Britain over the same time period.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graphs illustrate the average monthly money that British parents spent on their children’s sports and the number of children engaging in three different sports during the period from 2008 to 2014.
Overall, it is clear that the amount of money that parents spent on their children’s sports increased each year. Football was by far the most popular sport that children took an interest in.
UK parents had to spend 20 pounds per month in the first year. During the period, that figure continued rising considerably and finally stood at around 33% by the year 2014.
Between 2008 and 2010, the number of children who participated in athletics did not change much. It remained relatively constant at around 0.6 million before increasing dramatically to approximately 4.5 million in 2014.
On the other hand, in 2008, the number of kids engaging in football was five times higher than that of going swimming, at around 8.5 million and 1.7 million, respectively. Six years later, there were 9.3 million children playing football, compared to 3.9 million of swimming participators.
