  题目:The charts below give information about USA marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 2000, and the marital status of adult Americans in two of the years.

 

  The information given by the bar charts is about the changes in the numbers of marriage and divorce in US from 1970 to 2000, and the marital status of American adults in the two separate years.

  According to the first chart, the number of marriages saw a downward trend during the three decades. It dropped from 2.5 million in 1970 to 2 million in 2000. In terms of the number of divorces, it was always lower than that of marriages. The data of divorces reached a record high (nearly 1.5 million) in 1980 when it was followed by a gentle decrease to only 1 million in 2000.

  As we can see from the second chart, in 1970, married people had the largest proportion which was 70%, while the divorced group had the the smallest percentage, nearly 65 times lower than the former group. Interestingly, the proportion of never married people and that of widowed ones alike were similar (around 10%). In 2000, although the number of married people dropped to 60%, it was still the most one. Widowed citizens also decreased a bit and became the fewest group. Moreover, the percentage of never married people and that of divorced ones alike experienced an increase, to 20% and 10% respectively.

  In conclusion, after the year 1980, both the number of marriages and that of divorces witnessed a decline, while the percentage of never married people and that of divorced individuals had a gentle increase.
