The table below shows the proportion of different categories of families living in

poverty in Australia in 1999.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting

Australia in 1999. Total 1,837,000 poor families has been selected in this study which is 11% of the total, varies from Aged family, no children family to families with children.

From the table, we can see clearly that the highest proportion group is the family with

children---what is more, the sole parent, 21% , about 232,000 families is on the first place. While couple with children, 12%, 933,000 is followed.

The Second higher group is families without children, from which single families without children is the most serious one --19% , 359,000 families and couple without children seems better , only 7% about 211,000 families.

And the smallest group should be the aged families which total is only 10%, among which single aged person is 6%, two percent higher than the aged couple.

Based on the data the table provided and what we analyzed above, we can draw the conclusion that Having children is the most crucial reason for being poor while aged is the less crucial one.

First, the subway systems in the six cities were opened in time sequence with London being the earliest (in 1863) and Los Angeles the latest ( in 20xx ). The underground railway system had their prime time in the 20th century, which saw the construction of 4 underground railway systems respectively in Paris (1900), in Tokyo (1927), in Washington DC (1976), and in Los Angeles (1981).

Second, seen from London to Los Angeles, which happened to be in chronological order of

subway construction, the above-mentioned six cities roughly revealed a trend of sharp decrease in the length of the subway route. London ranked No. 1 in this respect, with a length of 394km; Paris came next with 199km; Tokyo was No. 3 with 155km; Washington DC ranked No. 4 with 126 km. Kyoto and Los Angeles were the most interesting, with merely 11km and 28km respectively, nothing comparable with the top 4 cities.

Third, we see some really unexpected figures about the number of passengers transported by the subway system in these six cities. Tokyo took the lead with 1.927 billion; Paris came next with

1.191 billion; London was No. 3 with 775 million; Washington DC was No. 4 with 144 million. Los Angeles and Kyoto had 50 million and 45 million respectively. Therefore, we can see the big difference as compared with other cities.

Overall, the six cities revealed great differences in the history of subway construction, the length of subway lines and the yearly passenger transportation capability.

Average distance in miles traveled per person per year, by mode of

travel

various means of transport.

The number of miles walked, cycled and travelled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles travelled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 20xx.The number of miles travelled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased. The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 1985 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 20xx. The number of miles travelled by long distance bus more than doubled from 54 miles (1985) to 124 miles (20xx). The number of miles driven by taxi trebled from 13 miles (1985) to 42 miles (20xx). The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport also increased.

Overall, the number of miles travelled by the average English person rose from 4,740 miles in 1985 to 6,475 miles in 20xx, with the increase of cars accounting for almost all of that increase.

The table above compares the percentage of national consumer expenditure by different categories in 20xx.

As can be seen clearly, consumers spending on Food/Drinks/Tobacco accounted for the largest percentage in all five countries listed in the chart. This figure was highest in the Turkey at 32.14%, followed by 28.91% in Ireland, 18.8% in Spain, 16.36% in Italy and 15.77% in Sweden.

In terms of Clothing/Footwear, consumers in Italy spent the most on this item at 9%. This figure was approximately 2.5% higher than the amounts spent in Turkey, Spain and Ireland, and 3.6% higher than that spent in Sweden.

That last consumer item included in the chart is Leisure/Education. The largest amount of 4.35% spent on this item in Turkey was more than twice as high as the amount spent in Spain, which had the lowest figure. In between were Sweden and Italy-both around the 3.2% mark-and Ireland at 2.21%.

The differences in expenditure shown for each country are possibly reflective of relative differences in the cost of the items in question but not enough information is given in this chart to make that claim with any certainty.
