PAGE  PAGE 14 例1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________There is a line chart describing the change of proportion of people aged 65 and above in three countries (Japan, Sweden, USA) over a period of time ( 1940-2040). In general, the proportion in Sweden has shown a significant rising trend, soaring from approximately 8% in 1940 to a little bit over 25% in 2040. Similarly, the proportion in USA has shown resembling upward trend during the same period of time, which rocketed from barely 10%/a little bit below 10% in 1940 to approximately 23% in 2040. In 1940, USA had the highest proportion of people aged 65 and above among three countries (around 10%), while the proportion in Japan was the lowest in that year (merely over 5%). In stark contrast, in 2040, Japan is expected to overtake other two countries as a country with the highest proportion (approximately 28%), with USA dropping to the bottom (around 23%). Before 1960, despite the fact that the proportion in both USA and Sweden has been growing(from around 9% to 10% and from 8% to 9% respectively), that proportion/percentage in Japan has been falling/plunging/plummeting (from 5% to barely over 3%). After 1960, it is interesting to see that while the proportion in USA and Sweden has been climbing dramatically/drastically, the proportion in Japan has been growing rather steadily/tenderly/slightly, despite a sudden boost/surge expected by 2030 (from 10% more than doubled to 25%) To sum up, there might be more elderly people in Japan in coming years. __________________________________________________________________________________________________
