Band 6+: Writing Task 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The table below shows social and economic indicators for four countries in 1994, according to United Nations statistics. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The provident table presents United Nation’s data of Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire by four different social and economic indicators in 1994.

Overall, Japan and Canada by far outperformed Peru and Zaire in all indicators.

Japan was in first place in annual income 15760 USD for each person, while Canada that had nearly the same results had second place. While Japan had the highest income, Canada was the leader in daily calorie consumption. Life expectancy at birth in both countries was slightly different with only two years (76 and 78) by Japan’s outperform. Turning on adult literacy rate Canada and Japan showed the same results equal to 99%.

Moving to Peru and Zaire, the table demonstrates Peru had higher results than Zaire by all indicators. Peruvians earned 160 USD, and Zairians 130 USD. If they add their annual income together, it won’t be higher than Canada, rather Japan’s annual income. It showed that the population of both countries consumed not more than 1927 calories per day, and lived expectantly at birth to 51 in Peru and 47 in Zaire. Of note, adult literacy indicators illustrates that Peru had twice as many literate adults in Zaire (68 and 34).
