Example 1:

The line graph highlights the average salaries of 4 different countries and the table shows the average salary of men and women in 2010 in those countries.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Answer: The line graph illustrates the typical earnings in Germany, Korea, and Canada, and the table demonstrates the incomes between males and females in 2010 in those same countries. Overall, all represented countries salaries will fall after 2010, while Germany is the lone country that has women making more than men.

With regard to the line graph, at the start of the period, Canada had the highest average income at slightly more than $10,000. Thereafter it increased steadily to eventually peak in 2010 at roughly $15,000, where it is projected to conclude below $10,000. In a similar fashion, Germany and South Korea started with approximately the same typical earnings at around $6000. After which, there were hardly any increases until in 1995, where both countries experienced extreme salary enlargements with Germany peaking around Canada and Korea at more than 10,000 in 2010. However, both countries are expected to finish with nearly identical numbers to Canada.

With respect to the pie chart, Germany was the only country to have women out earning men, with the former earning on average more than $17,000 and the latter taking home fewer than $14,000. On the other hand, Korean men make roughly the same as German males, while Korean females have an average salary of approximately $9,000. In continuation of this trend, Canadian males take home the most with an average of $18,000, while their females only take home around $12,500.
