Describing a table - Model answer
Road accidents in the UK
The table shows the number of road accidents which involved children in 1995. Five age groups were mentioned.
The highest number of accidents was playing in the street with 214 out of a total of 370. The vast majority of these involved children between 2 and 7. The number dropped in each age group and there were only 2 of this type of accident amongst 14 to 16 year olds. Shopping for parents accounted for 52 accidents, with the highest figure being in the 5 to 7 group. Cycling in the street came next with the most accidents amongst children aged between 5 and 13. Journeys to and from school were the least number of accidents although younger school children were more likely to be involved.
The table shows that the highest number of accidents involved younger children. Children aged between 2 and 7 accounted for 260 accidents which is around two thirds of the total.
