Practice 1. The following graph shows the USA and European unemployment rates. Look at the curve for European men and prepare a short description using the approximations listed below: just over, approximately, roughly, well over.

Model version

In 1982, the unemployment rate for men in Europe stood at just over five percent of the Labor Force. By 1991 it was still approximately f ive percent, having been roughly stable throughout the period.Nevertheless, the unemployment rate for. European men can be seen to be well over that recorded for USA men, almost three percent highe r in the period 1988 to 1990.

Practice 2 Use the graph below to give a short presentation on European consumer price changes in the five major countries between 1988 and 1991.

Model version

This morning Fm going to talk briefly about consumer price changes in five major countries during the period 1988 to 1991.

Let's look at 'the United States figures. As you can see, the annual change in consumer prices rose from around 4% in 1988 to just under 6% in 1990, before falling back to around 3% in 1991.Throughout this period, the United States had the second highest rate of inflation of the five countries considered.

Now, turning to France, we can see that consumer prices rose less quickly than those in Britain and the United States throughout this period. Inflation r ose to over 3% i n 1989 and 1990, before falling back to just over 2% in 1991. Indeed by 1991, the inflation rate in France had fallen below that in Germany and was now equal to that in Japan.

Practice 3 The graph below shows sales of a child's bicycle called the DBM. Using the information from the graph to write a brief report on the trends of the sales since the launch of the DBM in 1985.
