Dear friends, please give me some comments on the report below. Chart interpretation really drives me crazy. I have to work really hard on this. Thank you for your help:)
The bar chart below shows the highest qualification attained by sex for the working age population in Wales in 2001/2002. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. This may link you to the reference graph: teachingmaterial.blog.sohu.com/148409511.html
This bar graph compares the male and female achievers of the highest qualification in percentage for the working age population in Wales in 2001 and 2002.
According to the statistics, about 13 percent of degrees or equivalent certificates were achieved by males, followed closely by 11 percent for females. Besides degrees, there were only a tiny minority of working population with higher education qualifications, with nine percent for men and almost ten percent for women.
With regard to the secondary education qualifications among Welsh workers, both GCE A level and GCSE grade A-C achievers saw a striking difference in gender. As for the former, men, considerably outnumbering the 15 percent achieved by women, took up almost 28 percent. However, when it comes to the GCSE grade A-C or equivalent, the pattern was totally reverse. There were nearly 30 percent female holders, followed by approximately 18 percent for their counterparts.
The figures of those with other qualifications were similar for both genders, whereas more females than males were working without any qualifications.
In general, it is obvious that more male than female population were holding a higher qualification in Wales.
Besides degrees, only a tiny minority of the working population had higher education qualifications, with nine percent for men and almost ten percent for women.
...the pattern was totally reversed.--- "reverse" (as an adjective) was not wrong, but I think "reversed" (as a verb) is better.
In general, it is obvious that in Wales more males than females were holding high qualifications.
