Writing exercise

This table shows the percentages of change in some household types in Great Britain from 1971 to 2007 during past the few decades. Especially some main features —> The values  which increased at 10-year intervals include: one person households, couples with children, and lone single parents.

In contrast, the value of single-family households with dependent children declined rapidly, the gap of percentages percentage difference (–>change) is over 15 per cent in 37 years. The same reduction obviously appeared in non-dependent children households during the 4 time period in this table.

Between 1971 to 2007, for one person households in Great Britain the growth percentages doubled rate (from 6 to 12). Another type of structure is the  lone single parent household(s) , which rose to the triple percentage increasing for which the percentage increased at triple the rate. Not surprisingly, the item of no children gradually enhanced (appreciated/increased).

Between 2001 to 2007 features in the table stead stayed/remained the same except in dependent children (only 2 per cent dipped/ a slight 2% change). Obviously, data surveying of people in different types of households is still ongoing for the foreseeable future.
