Car specifications

This table shows us the specifications of four leading car models. In this essay I will describe the four cars.

There are four cars competing to be the best cars and these cars are the Toyota Corolla, the VolksWagen Golf, the Ford Focus and the Nissan Micra. The Toyota Corolla has 1400cc engine size and it uses 1 gallon for 48miles and it’s made in Japan and it costs $15,550. The Ford Focus challenges the Corolla and it has 1400cc engine size and it uses 1 gallon for 50miles but the price is more than the Corolla by $250. The smallest engine was for the Nissan Micra with 1200cc engine size and it uses 1 gallon for 52miles and it’s the cheapest car at $15,500 The Micra is made in Japan. The most powerful car is the VolksWagen Golf because of its engine size, 1600cc, and it uses 1 gallon for 40miles but it’s the most expensive car between them at $18,250 and it’s made in Germany.

As we can see from this information the best car in my opinion is the Corolla because its medium in everything and it doesn’t use a lot of petrol.

Date producing countries in 2001

The bar chart shows the top ten date-producing countries and their annual production in tonnes in 2001. Ten countries are compete to have the first producer.

First, Egypt was responsible for the lion's share of production, with over a million tonnes, but Iran was a close second, with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivalling each other with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around quarter of a million. In contrast, the harvests in Libya and Sudan were far less plentiful, yielding under 0.2 million each.

As we can see, the best producer was Egypt with a big different from the other countries and the smallest output was Libya.
