graphs
The graph compares the fuel expenditure as a percent of income in the United States and the United Kingdom by people.
The graph categorizes people into three categories; the poorest people, the middle-income people, and the richest people.
Firstly, there is a dramatic gap between the poorest people in the UK and in the USA. In the UK, the percentage is as low as 0.5% and in the USA, it is 4%. The percentage continues to increase sharply in the USA till it reaches 6% the it decreases steadily.
The second category which is the middle-income people, the percentage keeps declining in the USA. However, it increases in the UK. It indicates that the middle-income British people love to buy cars and use it a lot. By contrast, it seems that the Americans use less fuel. Maybe because they have more fuel-efficient cars or don't commute along with cars.
The richest people in the USA spend way less than the poorest people. On the other hand, this is not the case in the UK, where the richest people spend more than the poorest one.

Hi Ahmed, quite good.
Be careful with the article "the". If we are talking about something in general, we don't need it - fuel expenditure. and middle-income people. However, we put "the" for the richest, because it is a superlative.
Apart from that, it's a really surprising graph. Americans have enormous cars, (SUVs and pickups), commute long distances and fuel is much cheaper there. Who knows?
I really like your introduction, where you simply state the purpose of the graph and what it is measuring. Well done.
Simon.
