IELTS - Task1 The contribution of three sectors to the UK economy

The contribution of selected sectors to the UK economy has been changing over the years in the 20th century.

            At the beginning of the last century the most contribution was made by agriculture and manufacturing sectors and was between 40 and 50 percent. At the same time the contribution made by business and financial services was very low. Through the whole period described on the graph the importance of business and financial services was increasing from about 5 percent in year 1900 to almost 40 in year 2000.  In 1950 the importance of agriculture and financial services rose but the manufacturing sector's contribution - declined. There is seen on the graph that in 1975 the contribution made by manufacturing is a little below 40 percent of the whole contribution to the UK economy. At the end of the last century the most important sector from all described on the graph was business and financial services. The smallest contribution was made by agriculture. Manufacturing was important for the UK economy only in about 15 %.
