14、ng the information shown below.Sample This bar chart displays the numbers of men and women enrolled in further education in Britain during three periods. The chart reflects several trends. For instance, during the 197071 academic year, 92.5% men enrolled in further education were on a part time basi

15、s. In 1980, the percentage had dropped to 88.3 percent. By 1990, there were twice as many students enrolled on a full time basis than there had been in 1980, rising from 75,000 to 200,000.Combined with a drop in total enrollment, this reflects a rise in full time enrollment from 7.5 percent to 22.2

16、percent. However, both the total number of women enrolled and the number enrolled on a full time basis rose between the 197071 and 199091 school years. By 1990, there were four times as many women enrolled on a full time basis, with enrollment having risen from 50,000 to 200,000. But when we combine

17、 total enrollment increases with full time enrollment increases, we see a different trend emerging. In 1980, 200,000 women enrolled were full time students, accounting for 25 percent. In 1990, total enrollment rose to 1.1 million, but the figure for full time enrollment remained steady at 200,000. T

18、his reflects a fall in the percentage of women enrolled full time from 25 percent to only 18 percent. When we compare enrollment between the men and women, we see that in 1970 more men were enrolled in either full time or part time programs. However, by 1990 this had changed, with a higher total enr

19、ollment or women and a basically equal number of men and women enrolled in full time programs. This suggests increased educational opportunities for women in higher education.Writing Practice 2 The graph shows the customer deposit and the inter-bank borrowing of cash in CCB from January 1999 to Janu
