【答案解析】[参考范文]
The pie charts show how a school spent money, in percentage terms, in the years 1981, 1991 and 2001, across five categories.
The majority of spending in each year was on salaries. Teachers" salaries accounted for 40% of spending in 1981. This increased to 50% in 1991, but dropped to 45% in 2001. Salaries for other workers accounted for 28% of spending in 1981, 22% in 1991 and 15% in 2001, demonstrating a constant fall.
Spending on resources such as books and on furniture and equipment took up 30% of spending in 1981-15% each. By 1991, spending on resources had risen to 20% whilst spending on furniture and equipment had fallen dramatically to only 5%. By 2001, spending on resources had more than halved (in percentage terms) to 9% whereas spending on furniture and equipment had risen relatively substantially to 23 %.
Finally, spending on insurance rose from 2% in 1981 to 3% in 1991 and thereafter to a more significant 8% of the total in 2001.
In summary, relative spending in all five categories changed a lot, with spending on teachers" salaries being the largest portion.
