Re: Please, assess my writing T1
@mkhitaryan your writing looks pretty good man, but I am just a beginner let's expert do the talking 
Below is my write-up on the above displayed graph. Kindly assess my writing too.
There are two scenarios portrayed in the graphs over the period of 30 years. Pie chart demonstrates the percentage of food budget spent on restaurant meals and home cooking from 1980 to 2010. Whereas, the line graph depicts comparison of fast-food meals versus sit-down restaurant meals during the same period.
Between the years 1980 and 1990 only 10 to 15 percent of the total food budget was spent on restaurant meals. We see a 20% rise in subsequent years which eventually led to spending of half of the food budget being spent on restaurant meals in 2010.
As the line graph shows, during the year 1980 number of fast-food and sit-down restaurant meals was same. Later, in 1990 number of sit-down meals slightly surpasses the fast-food meals, though the rise of sit-down meals not remain the same in succeeding years. We see a constant rise in fast-food meals after 1990. Conversely, sit-down meals witnessed a very slow pace during the same period.
