#1 Sports injuries - model answer

Table-sports injuries!!

This table shows sporting injuries which led to emergency hospital treatment. Ten sports were looked at.

The sport with the highest number of injuries was Australian football with a number well over 10,000 second, and not so close in second position was soccer at around 3,777 injuries. Even thought Australian football was the first in the table, rugby still has a greater percentage of hospital admissions, which is the first in that category. Netball, hockey and rugby are the leading sports in percentage of injuries during competition or practice category at 95%.

Surprisingly enough, martial arts is at 8^th place in the list, with 882 as a number of injuries at around 2.1% and 5.6% hospital admissions, and hockey at 7^th, which is less than expected.

In conclusion, the main two sports that show up more than once on this table as highest are Australian football, because it has the highest number of injuries, and rugby because it has the highest percentage of hospital admissions.

Model Answer – Travel in Wales

This is a table which gives us information about different methods of travel in Wales in 1990 and 2005. Altogether, in 1990 people travelled 4,740 miles compared to 6,475 in 2005.

In 1990 cars were the most popular form of transport followed by local buses and trains. By 2005 cars were still the most important form, increasing from over 3,000,000 to just under 4,000,000 miles, but trains came next followed by local buses. Local buses were the only form of transport which actually dropped in numbers. Coach travel and taxis both had substantial increases with taxis tripling the miles traveled. Some forms of travel did not change much during the period under investigation, particularly walking and bicycle riding. For walking the figures were 255,000 and 258,000 miles respectively while bicycling increased from 51 to 52 thousand miles per year.

People travelled more in 2005 than they did in 1990, and they used all forms of transport more with the exception of local buses.
