The chart gives information about the families’s weekly expenditure in one country between 1968 and 2018.

Overall, majority of spent was allocated to food while the fuel and power category contributed the least amount of money among others.

Looking into more details, in 1968, 35% of the income was spent for food which was the highest amount of money contributed to weekly spending, while this rate decreased to about 18% in 2018. Also, 10% of money allocated for housing in 1968 and this spending almost got doubled in 2018. Household goods remained constant in fifty-year period at roughly 7.5%.


Clothing and footware consisted of 5% of families spending in 1968 and this got doubled in 2018. The other striking fact is that, while the food category contributed the most spending in 1968 at 35%, this category was replaced with leisure spending at about 23% in 2018. Finally, most families allocated their about 8% of their weekly income to transport, and this rate rose to almost 15% in 2018.

The bar chart compares the proportion of weekly income that households spent on eight types of essential goods and services categories in one particular country in the years 1968 and 2018.

The chart illustrates the average percentages of expediture of families in one country weekly in 1968 and in 2018. Overall, majority of spent accounted for food while the minority of money was allocated to fuel and power.
An average family in 1968 spent 35% of their income in a week while this rate decreased approximately to 18% which was the sharpest decrease among others. In contrast, housing expenditure experienced one-fifth of the total income in a week and this rate increased almost 20%, compared to food category. Another striking fact that, the money allocated for household goods did not see any change at about 8% in 1968 and 2018.
The fuel and power that contributed the least percentage of money allocated for total expenditure saw 10% in 1968 and this rate went down under 5%. Same trend can be seen in clothing and footware category. Regular families spent 10% of their income in clothing and footware and this rate fell by half in 2018.

The bar chart provides data on the mean weekly expenses of families based on their percentage of income per week in 1986 and 2018.

Overall, in 1986 food was the highest expense in one week on average, while any of the other daily necessities were not given much priority. In 2018, however, money spent on leisure took the lead followed by housing.

In 1986, 35% of the weekly funds were spent on food, which was the top necessity. Housing, clothing and footware came in second at only 10% of the income used on these commodities. Whilst any of the other items, such as fuel, transport, household and personal goods were all between 6-10% of the income range, with fuel and power being the least important item.

In 2018, however, there was a change in the trend, with Leisure being at the top of the list of expenses at 22%, while housing came in second at around 19% of weekly income. Food and Transport were each given 17% and 13% of the funds respectively. Lastly, any of the other items namely, fuel, clothing, household and personal goods were not that popular being only at a range of 4 to 7% of the weekly income.

hello, Lilie, I am a big fan of yours. I wonder if you can answer a small question of mine, which is that is it ok to replace "accounted for 35% of the total expenses" with "35% of the weekly expenses". It would be genuinely nice of you to take a few time to answer my question. Thank you, love you.

Would you kindly write the writing task 1 on Cambridge IELTS 1-9 in your writing blog posts? Thankyou very much!!!
