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.

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.
