The table below shows three social and economic indicators of seven American countries for the year 1997.
The table compares three indicators in terms of GDP per capita, adult illiteracy rate and newspaper sales per 1000 people in several American countries in 1997.
GDP per capita in the Bahamas was the highest at $13,000, followed by that in Argentina ($9,100 ). Furthermore, there were five other countries whose figures were below $5000.
In the case of the second item, Brazil had the highest adult illiteracy rate at 16.8%, in comparison with only 3.6% in Argentina. It is noteworthy that figures for the Bahamas and Cuba were the same: 4.4%. The Proportion of illiterate people in Jamaica was 15.2%, nearly twice that of Surinam (7%).
In the last category, similar newspaper sales per 1000 people were seen in Argentina and Surinam as well as Cuba: 123 and 122 and 118 papers respectively. The figures for the remaining five countries varied from a low of 40 to a high of 97 papers.
Overall, the higher the newspaper sales, the lower illiteracy rate, which makes sense. However, it is interesting to find there was little relation between GDP and adult illiteracy rate, as the highest and lowest GDP had exactly the same rates of illiteracy.

The picture illustrates the process of coffee manufacture and preparation for sale on the market.
The picture illustrates how coffee is produced by using different facilities. In general, there are three stages of the process, beginning with the preparation of raw materials. The raw materials are then manufactured into coffee which finally will be packed into jars for sale.
Looking at the first stage of the process, coffee beans are picked in fields by farmers, after which they are dried on the ground.
At the following stage of the process, coffee beans are roasted, before being cooled rapidly. When this is done, they are ground into powder which is then mixed with the hot water. Thereafter, once the mixture is strained, it will be frozen and ground again. The next step takes place in a vacuum container in which the frozen liquid is dried and water is evaporated.
The final stage is to pack newly made coffee into jars which will then be labeled and prepared to be sold to customers in shops and markets.

The diagrams below give information about a school site in 2004 and the planning
of
the
same
school
in
2010
.
The maps show the changes taking place in a school named Hogwarts Grammar school between 2004 and 2010. It is clear that the school changed considerably and there were about five new features between original school and the new one.
According to the first map, the sport field was located in the middle of the school, with a car park on the east and a school building on the west. A main road crossed the school from the west to the east, leading to a car park.
Looking at the second map in more detail, we can see that the original school building was substituted by three new ones as the number of students nearly doubled, rising from 600 to 1000. A new park lot was constructed in the southwest corner, and the previous sport field was halved in size. The former walking path completely disappeared and three new roads linked new school buildings. The main road was redeveloped to link the two car parks.
