Task：The chart below shows the percentage of self-employees in five countries in 1998 and 2008.
参考范文：
The graph above shows the percentage of working people from 5 different Eastern European countries who were self-employed in 1998 and 2008. Greece and Turkey have by far the highest proportion of self-employed workers among the 5 countries, however they are also the only countries which report a decrease in the percentage of self-employed workers between the two years plotted on the graph.
In 1998, The Russian Federation, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic had self-employment figures of 7%, 9% and 12% respectively, all of which are far lower than Greece’s 46% and Turkey’s 55% for the same year.
In 2008, however, the former 3 countries had all experienced a small increase in percentage of self-employees. The Russian Federation and the Czech Republic had increased by 2%, while Slovakia had increased by 3%. This contrasts sharply with the 10% fall of Greece’s self-employed workers, and the 16% decrease in Turkey’s over the same time period.
Despite these different trends, Greece and Turkey remain far above of the other three counties in percentage of self-employed workers in 2008, both with over double that of The Czech Republic, which is the highest of the remaining 3 countries.
