TASK 1 (MIXED CHARTS): IMPORTED FISH
 |
Sample Answer
The provided table and pie charts illustrate the total import values and the pattern of fish imported to the USA during the period from 1988 to 2000.
Overall, the total import figure rose consistently and markedly over the period, resulting in 2000 being the year with the highest quota. Regarding the countries of origin, Canada reigned supreme at the beginning of the studied timeline but significantly dropped in export shares, thereby losing its dominance to other unspecified nations by the end of the surveyed period. This redistribution of market share by nation was also reflected in the corresponding rises of China and ‘other’ nations.
Regarding the total value of fish imported, the USA recorded 6.57 billion dollars in 1988, and this figure rose by roughly 2 billion dollars in 1992, amounting to just over 8.5 billion dollars. By the end of the period, another ‘over 2 billion dollars’ increase from 1992, or a twofold rise in relation to 1988, was recorded, marking a peak of 10.72 billion dollars worth of fish imported to America.
Turning to the import pattern, in 1988, Canada accounted for 60% of total US imports, leaving a combined reciprocal figure for both ‘others’ and China standing at 40%. A breakdown shows that the other unmentioned nations registered roughly twice as high a proportion as the latter, at 27% compared with 13%. In 1992, Canada’s share declined by nearly a half, while that of ‘others’ and China rose by approximately 20% and 7%, respectively. By the end of the studied timeline, Canada remained generally stable despite a marginal drop of 4%. A similar decline, albeit to a much larger extent, was seen in other nations, with their figure dropping to 28%, while a reverse pattern was observed in China, which rose by a third to end the period at 30%.
