The total budget of the UK government in 1996 was £315 billion. This pie chart shows what the government spent the money on. There are ten separate categories shown on the chart.
The biggest item by far was social security. At £100 billion, this was almost twice as much as the next category, health and personal services. Next came education with £38 billion and defence with £22 billion. There was less than £20 billion spent on the next three categories, which were: first, law and order; next, industry, agriculture and employment; then, housing, heritage and environment. Transport had the smallest budget, with £9 billion. Debt interest was £25 billion and other expenditure was £23 billion.
The outstanding feature of the pie chart is that expenditure on social security, £100 billion, was almost as much as the total for the next three categories: health, education and defence, £113 billion.

Date producing countries in 2001
The bar graph shows date production in tonnes for the world's top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and North Africa are featured.
First, Egypt was responsible for the lion's share of production, with over a million tonnes, but Iran was a close second, with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivalling each other with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around quarter of a million. In contrast, the harvests in Libya and Sudan were far less plentiful, yielding under 0.2 million each.
In summary, date production was most abundant in Egypt and Iran. In contrast, the countries with the smallest output were Libya and Sudan.

Types of car
This table describes the different specifications of four types of car. It gives details of price, country of origin, engine capacity and fuel consumption.
Clearly, the most expensive of the four is the Volkswagen Golf. There is very little to choose between the other three. The German Volkswagen has the biggest engine at 1600cc. The Japanese Toyota Corolla and the American Ford Focus both have a capacity of 1400cc, with the Japanese Nissan Micra being the smallest in engine size with 1200cc. Not surprisingly, the smallest, the Micra, is the most economical in terms of fuel consumption and the Volkswagen the least so. Both the Ford and the Toyota are between the other two, and very similar in terms of fuel consumption.
As you'd expect, the biggest car, in terms of engine size, is the most expensive and uses most fuel, while the smallest, the Micra, is the cheapest in terms of both price and fuel costs.

A professor is a teacher of the highest rank in a university.
I used to be a lecturer in a college of education.
Hedley is our English teacher.
We are all students at ADMC.
Lorraine used to be our supervisor but Roger is now.
A careers advisor/counsellor will help students to choose a job.
Dr Simon Jones is the ADMC Director.
Librarians used to concern themselves mostly with books but nowadays libraries are multi-media centres.
Tutors give tutorials which are lessons for individuals or small groups.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes
The table gives us some information about two strong winds. It shows the differences between hurricanes and tornadoes in some features like minimum and maximum wind speed, their classification scale, duration, average width of storm and average number per year…etc.
We can see from the table that the minimum wind speed of tornadoes is 40 mph less than hurricanes at 74 mph. Also the maximum wind speed of tornadoes is higher than hurricanes. It reaches to 250-300 mph. In addition to that we see that the hurricanes last one week. On the other hand, tornadoes last only a few minutes or hours. They use the Saffir-Simpson C1-C5 to scale for the hurricanes and the Fujita F0-F5 to scale the tornadoes. The width of the hurricanes is 300 miles, more than tornadoes at 100-600 meters. Furthermore, the hurricanes start over warm oceans while the tornadoes start over the land. People can predict the hurricanes and tornadoes in advance. The hurricanes can be predicted 2-3 days in advance for a wide area. Also, it can usually be predicted more exactly where it will hit 6-10 hours beforehand. On the other hand, the tornadoes can be predicted only 20 minutes or less.
In conclusion we see that the tornadoes have a higher speed than hurricanes. Also it’s hard to predict the tornadoes. Furthermore hurricanes last longer and affect a larger area than tornadoes.
