【正确答案】[范文]
   The information given by the table is about the percentage of different types of poverty-stricken households in Australia in the year of 1999.
   On average, 11% of all households, comprising almost two million people, were in this position. However, those consisting of one parent or a single adult had almost doubled this proportion of poor people, with 21% and 19% respectively.
   Couples generally tended to be better, with lower poverty levels for couples without children (7%) than those with children (12%). It is noticeable that for both types of household with children, higher than average proportion were living in poverty at this time. In contrast, older people were generally less likely to be poor, only 4% for aged couple, and 6% for single aged person respectively.
   Overall, the table suggests that households of single adults and those with children were more likely to be living in poverty than those consisting of couples.
