Looking at the chart, we can see two main trends.

Let’s look at each of them…
![Page 7: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

First, we need a topic sentence.
![Page 9: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As shown, rent was the highest expense throughout the period.
![Page 10: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Next, we need to provide sentences that support this topic.
![Page 11: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We should start by giving specific information about how much was
spent on rent.
![Page 12: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The amount spent on rent in 1990 was around £450 a month. This rose to around £525 a month in 2000 and £600 a month in 2010.
![Page 13: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Then, we need to compare rent with other expenses.
![Page 14: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let’s start with the second highest expense, groceries.
![Page 15: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
By comparison, the amount spent on groceries (the second highest expense) rose from £300 in 1990 to around £350 in 2010.
![Page 16: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Now, let’s talk about the other categories.
![Page 17: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Similarly, the amount spent on utility bills and transport also increased but these had only reached £150 and £250 respectively by 2010. On t h e o t h e r h a n d , t h e a m o u n t s p e n t o n entertainment decreased slightly over the period.
![Page 18: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Finally, we conclude by restating the main point.
![Page 19: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In conclusion, while most household expenses increased between 1990 and 2010, the amount spent on rent far exceeded the amount spent on anything else.
![Page 20: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Now, let’s look at the other theme…
![Page 21: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
22Overall

Again, we need to start with a topic sentence.
![Page 23: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Overall, household expenses increased considerably between 1990 and 2010.
![Page 24: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Then, we need supporting sentences.
![Page 25: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let’s start with the highest expense, rent.
![Page 26: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The amount spent on rent, for example, increased from £450 in 1990 to £600 in 2010.
![Page 27: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Now, we can talk about the other expenses that went up.
![Page 28: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Likewise, the amount spent on groceries increased from £325 in 1990 to around £350 in 2010. Spending on transport and utility bills also increased during the period, reaching £250 and £150 respectively by 2010.
![Page 29: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Let’s also talk about entertainment.
![Page 30: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
In fact, the only expenditure that went down over the 10 years was entertainment which dropped from £125 to £100.
![Page 31: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Then we just need to add a conclusion.
![Page 32: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
In conclusion, the amount of money spent on key expenses rose significantly during the period discussed.
![Page 33: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Remember, we don’t have to mention everything.
![Page 34: Analyzing a Graphic](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6690707f8b9ac5128b54f1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Just the things that best support the main idea.
