top ten countries of dates production

      In this essay, I like to describe the bar charts that talk about the top ten date-producing countries in 2001.

      In 2001, only one country passed the 1,000,000 tonnes of date production and it was Egypt. The least country of date production was Libya; it doesn’t pass 200,000 tones. The ascending level of date production countries after Libya is Sudan, Oman, Algeria, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran and Egypt in order, but the two countries Iraq and Pakistan are equal on level of date production at that time. The ascending level of date production by tonnes after Libya were 190,000, 250,000, 390,000, 650,000, 650,000, 670,000, 690,000, 840,000, 1,060,000 tonnes respectively. If we compare Libya and Egypt, we will figure that Egypt’s production was around five times more than Libya. The two countries, which were equal together were Pakistan and Iraq.

      As we can see, there are a lot of differences between the top ten countries, which produce the dates.

Valentine's Day

          In this essay, I will write about the difference between the men and women in what they buy for each other on Valentine’s Day.

         On the one hand, men have several things they buy for women, and they sort it in this way: 18% for cards, 16% for flowers, 14% for candy and 25% for other things. These things are the biggest segments of purchased items. The last four segmentations are 10% for jewelry, 7% for lingerie, 6% spa/personal care and 4% for perfume/cologne.

        On the other hand, also women have to buy something for their husbands or boyfriends, or he will look for another lady. They buy 8 items for men and sometimes it will be cards, candy, flowers, perfume/cologne, jewelry, lingerie, spa/personal care and other things; in order, 27%, 21%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 4%, 1% and 17% of women buys these things respectively.

         Now we can see who gets the lovely heart and who will attract the other on that day.

UK’s money in 1996

           In this essay, I will show some information about the total budget of the UK government and how they spent it in 1996.

          The total budget of the UK government at that time was £315 billion. The biggest segment was spent on social security; it was £100 billion. The second biggest segment was for Health and personal social services, £53 billion. The education was taking £38 billion; it was the 3rd on the segmentation. The rest included debt interest, other expenditure, defense, law and other, housing heritage and environment and industry, agriculture and employment in that order, and they took £25 billion, £23 billion, £22 billion, £17 billion, £15 billion and £13 billion respectively.
         There were three important categories which took the biggest share of the budget, and there were not big differences between the others.
