Band 7+: WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The table below shows the world's ten most expensive countries for petrol along with other financial information. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The table displays ten countries that spend the most money on petrol by showing the average monthly disposable income, average monthly petrol spending, and the percentage of income used for petrol, with money figures represented in dollars.

Overall, it is clear that monthly petrol expenditure doesn’t differ as much as countries’ average disposable income, consequently resulting in of low-earning countries spending significant amounts of their money just on petrol. Eritrea and Turkey, as countries with relatively lower disposable income, are the countries that spend the most of that money on petrol.

In more detail, the country with the lowest monthly petrol expenditure is Belgium with 273.05 dollars and the country with the highest monthly petrol expenditure is Norway with approximately 46 dollars higher. The difference is however not as sharp as countries’ average monthly disposable income, because the difference between the lowest and highest amount is almost tenfold, with 450.09 dollars for Eritrea as the lowest and 4329.07 dollars for Norway as the highest. As a result, countries which have a lower disposable income spend substantially more money on petrol expenditures. Such examples include that Eritrea spends a staggering 61.10 percent of its disposable income on petrol, followed up by turkey spending 34.20 percent of its disposable income on petrol.
