【开头段】

The bar charts compare males and females in terms of the age of getting married in one country for the year 1996 and 2008.

【概述段】

It is clear that in both years, the majority of men and women chose to get married between 26 and 35.

思路要点：

两年中，大部分男女都在26-35岁之间结婚

【Body 1】

In 1998, only 1% of women got married between 16 and 19, and there were no changes to this figure until 2008. However, no men chose to start a family at this age group in these two years. In both years, more females than males decided to enter into a marriage between the ages of 20 and 30. Especially, the largest proportions of both men and women decided to get married between 26 and 30 in the initial year, with the figure of 13% and 15% respectively. Subsequently, a marginal decline by 2% could be found in these two figures. 

思路要点：左边三个年龄段

- 1998年：16-19岁的female占比1%，2008年不变

- 2年中，20-25和26-30都是 女>男

- 1998年，26-30的男女比例都→2008年都小幅度下降2%

【Body 2】

In terms of the rest age groups, we can see that originally, the same percentage of men and women decided to get married between the ages of 31 and 35(13%). Afterwards, the gender gap expanded as the figure for men witnessed a dramatic growth to 14%, while the proportion of women declined slightly by 3%. In 1998, the percentage of men aged 35-40(11%) was slightly larger than the figure for women. Then, in 2008, the figures for both genders experienced a noticeable drop but the percentage of females overtook their male counterparts.

思路要点：右边三个年龄段

- 1998年，31-35的男女人数相同→2008年差距扩大，男生急剧上升到14%，但是女生小幅度下降了3%

- 1998年，35-40的男生轻微超过女生→2008年，两者数据明显下降，但女生反超男生
