答案The pie charts compare five categories of household expenditure in the UK and New Zealand in the years 1995 and 2015. It is noticeable that the proportion of spending on food and drink fell in both countries over the 20-year period, while spending on utility bills rose. In 1995, 29% of an average New Zealand household budget went on food and drink, while the equivalent figure for a UK home was 23%. By 2015, expenditure on food and drink had fallen by 4% in New Zealand, and by a full 10% in the UK. By contrast, both countries saw an increase in expenditure on utility bills for the average home, from 27% to 31% in New Zealand and from 26% to 28% in the UK. Leisure activities accounted for the highest proportion of UK household spending in both years, but only the third highest proportion in New Zealand. In fact, in 2015, New Zealanders spent only half as much in relative terms on recreation (17%) as UK residents (34%). In both countries, transport costs and other costs took roughly 15% and 11% of household budgets respectively.
解析 本题涉及到了年份的变化，本质上是动态图。本题共有四个饼图，每个饼图有五项数据，总体数据比较繁杂，而总体数据特征并不明显，需较为仔细地观察数据。总体描述上可从极值、两个国家之间数据相似的地方或两个国家差异最大的地方入手。范文选择总结比例同为下降的food and drink和同为上升的utility bills。
至于具体描述思路上，本题有三个选择：①按年份作分类，分段描述1995和2016的情况；②按国家作分类，分段描述UK和New Zealand的情况；③按比较的项来分类，将两个国家变化相似的项归类，分类描述。范文采用第三种思路，这样较为方便同时进行时间和国家的比较。范文具体将food and drink(两个国家同下降)和utility bills(两个国家同上升)归为一类，两者的变化趋势一致。其他比较项归为另一类。
