A table chart is nothing
but another way to present information. The table contains words, numbers, or a
combination of both displayed in boxes or columns. It illustrates a set of
facts and the association between them.
Moreover, there can be a
single table or a combination of two. It can even be a combination of another
diagram such as a line chart, bar chart, or pie chart.
You should need to do as
shown:
·
Describe the information presented in a
table
·
Compare and contrast
·
Report on an impersonal topic without
giving your opinion
·
Use appropriate language to the table

The table below gives information about rail transport in four countries
in 2007.
Summarise the information by selecting
and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
The supplied table gives data on underground railway
system in six metropolitan cities namely: London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC,
Kyoto and Los Angeles.
As is observed, London railway system is the oldest
among six and has the longest rail route and the most recent railway system in
Los Angeles having a small route and fewer passengers using the railway system
each year.
London railway system was opened in 1863
and has a total of 394 km. route. Paris railway system was started in 1900 and
has 199 km. route but has a far larger passenger (1191 million per year) than
the London railway (775 million passengers per year). Again, Tokyo railway has
the largest passengers using the system and this railway station was started in
the year 1927.
Two most recent railway stations are Kyoto and Los Angeles those started in the
year 1981 and 2001 consecutively and have 11 and 28 km. of routes only. The 11
km. route of Kyoto railway station is the smallest route among the mentioned
six cities.

the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant. |
The given table illustrates information about demographic statistics in four countries, namely Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, between the year 1990 and 2050.
It is clear from the chart that United states have
highest proportion of population till 2000.The rate of population at starting
was 249.9 million and 275.1 million in 2000.it is predicted that it will
remained highest with 349 million in 2050.The country with lowest projection
growth rate in new Zealand with 3.4 million in 1990 and will reach to 4.7
million in 2050.
Furthermore, the number of population in Canada was
26.6 million in starting and it was just above one third million in 2000.It
will rise to 39 million in 2050 whereas in Australia, The rate of population
was 17.1 million in 1990 and gradually it increased in each years. The growth

The tables provide data about male and female
rates of full-time and part-time working in three European countries in 2002
and compares them to the European average.
Overall, it can be seen that men worked longer hours in both full and part-time in Greece and the UK, while the Netherlands had some differences.
Greek men and women worked the longest full-time hours, with figures of 42.5 hours for men and 39.9 for women. On the other hand, UK male full-time workers only worked 37.5 hours and females only 37, which were the lowest figures in full-time work. Men and women from the Netherlands both worked equally long hours (38.0), while the European average was 40.4 for men and 39.2 for women.
For part-time work, Greece was again at the top at 30 hours for
men and 29.3 for women. UK women once more worked the least number of hours at
28, although UK men (29) worked more hours than men from the Netherlands
(28.3). In fact, Dutch women worked 29.2 hours in part-time work, which was the
only category where men were higher than women. Finally, the European average
was noticeably higher than any of the individual countries, recording
percentages of 34 for women and 32 for men.

The table shows
the percentage of journeys made by different forms of transport in four
countries, The bar graph shows the results of a survey into car use. Summarise
the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant. Write
at least 150 words. |
The table helps compare modes
of transport used in four countries: Canada, Belgium, Germany, and the
Netherlands.
As evident from the
table, cars are the most frequently
used transport form in all four countries.
However, the proportion of journeys
made by this vehicle ranges from a low of 47%
in the Netherlands to a high of 90%
in Canada. Unsurprisingly,
Netherlands has a high proportion
of trips made by bicycle, accounting for 26% and on
foot, which is 18%. Germany is the country with the highest rate of public
transport use, where approximately one
in five journeys is made by public transport.
The bar chart also
depicts helpful information in
understanding the high use of the car in Canada. The most commonly quoted
reason is the absence of any other alternative (38%).
Although 22% of people said it is more convenient to travel through a car, the other listed
factors illustrate needs more than preferences, e.g.
working night shift.

The given table data
shows the railway route, passenger number and cargo goods carried in Malaysia,
Canada, China and UAE in the year 2007.
As is observed from the
data, Chinese people used the railway system more than the people of other
countries but the cargoes carried more goods in Canada among the given
countries.
According to the data,
27 million people used rail transports (excluding metro) in China compared to
the just 5-6 million railway users in UAE and Malaysia. Only 0.3 million
Canadian people used railway transportations in 2007, which was least among the
given four countries. The distance passed by passengers who used railway in
these four countries was similar to the data provided for the railway
passengers in these four countries for the year 2007. Around two thousand km
were passed by Chinese people compared to the less than eight hundred km in UAE
and Malaysia. As only 0.3 million Canadian people used railway in 2007, the
distance passed by each passenger was only 80 km which was the least among the
figure given for four countries.
Interestingly, the
cargos that transported goods carried the highest amount in Canada (over 28
tonnes) though the passengers used railway system lesser than other countries.
On an average, all of the given four countries had an average of 21- 28 billion
tonnes goods carried through the railway system. In summary, Chinese people used the railway more than the
people of other country and cargo carried more goods in Canada among the given
countries.

The table data demonstrates the global market share in 2005 and 2006 with respect to leading mobile manufacturers. At a glance, in 2005 and 2006, Nokia had the highest global market share of mobile phones.
As it is evident,
the market shares of Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson had an upsurge in
2006 in comparison to their
respective shares in the previous years.
As per the
presentation, Nokia had the largest share, nearly one-third of the total, in
2005. In the
succeeding year, the brand saw an increase of 2.5%.
Motorola had about the second highest market
share in 2005, just a bit over 17%. In the following

about the other brands, Sony Ericsson and LG had a bit more than 6% market
share in 2005. In the subsequent
year, while Sony Ericsson had an increase by 1%, LG had to bear
a decrease. BenQ Mobile had the lowest market share, and their shares also dropped to half in
2006 in comparison to 2005. The combined market shares of all the other
manufacturers was more than 19% in 2005 but decreased to slightly over 16%,

The table below
highlights data on the number of travelers using three major German airports
between 2007 and 2012.
Summarize
the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.
Airport visitors, 2007-2012
(millions of travelers per year)
The
table shows information about how many people visited Germany through
three major airports.
Over
five years, there
was a fluctuant trend in the number of travellers who
travelled via Dusseldorf, while the other two airports saw
an upward trend. Another interesting point is
that Frankfurt airport was the most popular in the end.
Looking
at the details, the number of passengers at Dusseldorf started at 27.2 million in 2007
and then increased
remarkably to reach the highest point of 48.2
million in 2009. In 2011, the
figure dipped to 33.2 million. In 2012, there
was a slight growth to 45.6 million. On the other hand,
Frankfort began at 36.5 million in 98; after that, it
rose remarkably for
the next three years, to 47.3 million. In 2012, Frankfort hit
the peak point at 69.3 million passengers.
However,
if we look at Berlin Tegel airport, it started at the lowest point
of 17.3 million travellers in the first year. After this
point, the
trend increased significantly to 43.3 million passengers.
