Writing task 1 - bar chart

As can be seen from the chart, much more agriculture and Manufacturing than Business and Finance services contributed to the economy of UK. Agriculture sector accounted for 50% of total contribution, following by manufacturing field with appropriately 45%, whereas Business and Financial services was about 3% at the beginning.

It is can be seen that the trend of agriculture sector between 1900 and 2000 was downward. The highest percentage of agriculture’s contribution stands at above 50% in 1950, then, decreased rapidly to 10% in 1975 and reached the lowest proportion of 2% in 2000. Manufacturing field has the similar pattern with a lower level of decreasing. It reduced gradually to under 40% in 1950, to about 35% in 1975, and then under 20% in 2000. For Business and Financial service, on the other hand, shows an upward trend. It started from 2% in 1900, and ended up to 35% at the end of the period, also the highest percentage of contribution to the UK economy among selected sectors.
