The bar chart below shows the percentage of people in Great Britain living alone by age and sex in 2004/2005. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart gives Information about the proportion of British citizens living alone by different age groups and gender in 2004/2005.
Overall, the number of both males and females who tended to live alone increased gradually when they get older.
It is noticeable that more males than females were living alone in the three younger age groups (from 16 to 64). In the youngest age group, the percentage of men occupied a tiny 5% compared to 4 percent that of women. The rate of males constituted nearly twice as much as that of females (9%) in the age group 25-44. The proportions of men and women in the 45 to 64 age group accounted for 17% and 16% respectively.
Whereas, the patterns were reversing in the two retired age groups. The proportion of males aged between 65 and 74 was a half as much as that of females just under 33%. In the oldest age group, the rate of women outnumbered overwhelmingly the opposite sex, making up 59% as opposed to 28%.
