#5 - IELTS Writing - Task1 - bar chart The chart provides information about contribution of agriculture, manufacturing and business and financial services to the UK economy in the 20th century. We can see from the data that, despite a slight rise in contribution of agriculture in the middle of the century, the percentage of impact of both agriculture and manufacturing is noticeably less in 2000 than in 1900. For business and financial services the pattern is reversed: contribution of this sector increased from ca 5% in the beginning of the century to ca 35% in 2000. A sharp decrease of the agricultural sphere happened between 1950 and 1975: after the peak in 1950, when the percentage of this sphere was about 50, it lowered to 10% by 1975. In comparison to this change, a further decrease to ca 3% by 2000 can be described as insignificant. Despite the fact that both agriculture and manufacturing showed an downward tendency, by the beginning of the century they had a comparable level of contribution to the economy, proportion was changing during the observation period.
