In 2014, there were about 14 thousand male readers compared to the 7 thousand female readers.
Sample Answer 2:
The presented line graph illustrates amount of books read by gender at Burnaby Public Library between 2011 and 2014.
The overall trend in the graph demonstrates contrasting reading pattern between men and women. Women read about 5000 books in 2011, whereas men read lesser by 2000 books in comparison to women in the same year. Women’s reading habit increased gradually up until 2013 to 10000 books, which is also the peak figure for women. However, after 2013, the trend indicates dramatic drop to 8000 books read in 2014.
Meanwhile, men readers’ rate increased rapidly between 2012 and 2014 by 10000 books; that is a significant jump from 4000 books read in 2012 to 14000 books in 2014. Surprisingly, in 2013 both men and women read same amount of books of 10000 respectively.
Overall, the graph reveals positive improvement in men’s reading habit since 2013, while women’s reading trend shows the opposite.
