The bar chart illustrates scores obtained by four teams from 2002 to 2005.
Overall perspective its readily apparent that, Team B was best among 3 teams even though it declined its performance over seasons. Both Team A and Team B observed fluctions in score in various seasons.
Team A scores increased significantly from 2002 to 2004 recording teams highest in that repective year with 35 points respectively. By 2005 it observed drastic decline to 8 points slightly more than Team c.
In 2002 and 2003 Team C had scored 10 and 15 points respectively.
On the other hand Team B had grand start in 2002 season with 82 points , in later 2 seasons it observed decline trend with 60 points in 2002 and 43 points in 2004.
In 2005 season ,Team B performed better than previous year with around point increase,where as other two teams performance decreased compared to before season.
The charts represent how many scores of three different teams (A, B, and C) were made from 2002 to 2005. Overall, it is abundantly clear that team B scored more than other teams in every single season.
Taking the bar charts into consideration, in 2002, Team B was extremely impressive by collecting 82 points. In other words, it was eight times much than teams A and C in the same year. Moving to 2003, team B's points decreased to 60 points, but still led on the graphs, while other teams only collected 11 points and 15 points.
In 2004, even though team B had the highest points, it could be said as a competitive season. it was shown by slightly different points between team A and team B, 8 points. However, in the next season, team B was being superior against two other teams after collecting 55 points, or tenth times higher than team A and team C
The supplied bar chart provides comparative data about the three team's scores received in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. Overall, each team witnessed some minor fluctuations. However, at first glance, it can be seen Team B had the highest points within all periods, while the least points were acquired by Team C.
In 2002 and 2003, Team B was the ultimate winner with scores of nearly 90 points and just over a half point respectively. Afterward, although this figure made up 43 points, and Team A almost reached similar scores, Team B won the season the next year absolutely overshadowing other teams. Team C noticeably scored almost identical points within a given period, they held second place among teams at the beginning with 10 points. Following that, team C reached their own peak of 15 points, and their performance had fallen to 5 points in 2005.
Despite being the team with the lowest points in the first two seasons, Team A dramatically improved their scores from 5 points to 35 in 2004. However, then they received less than 10 points in 2005.
In this day and age, it is easy to catch up with some supermarkets or chains of minimarts on the streets. Unfortunately, this creates competition between small local businesses by chance. Some people assume as if local businesses be exited, local communities would be killed. I totally agree with this opinion because of the following two reasons.
On top of that, not everywhere has a supermarket. We just can catch up with it in cities or metropolia where is a large population. There is almost no supermarket in rural areas. Because the population density there is low. For instance, the rural area rate in Vietnam is just occupied more than 30 percent. That is mean it does not many profits for owners investing. Therefore citizens still need grocery stores to maintain their daily life.
The second reason is goods at supermarkets normally are more expensive than at grocery stores. Because owners' big business have tp raise the cost to pay for a lot of fees to maintain activities of the supermarket. On the other hand, the cost at local businesses is nearly affordable because they know to change the cost is appropriate for areas where they trade. For instance, a bottle of Coca-Cola at a supermarket cost 12.000 VND, whereas it just cost 10.000VND at a grocery store.
In conclusion, both two reasons above demonstrate that maintaining local businesses is important. I believe that if we stop all small businesses, that would cause greatly negative effects on local communities.

In recent times,there has been a constant debate regarding the continues development and the instant growth of supermarket across various cities in some countries.So few people believes that local business and small business are badly affected by the monopoly of the supermarket and will bring the death of local business.I personally agree with that statement because local people are earning most of the money through their shops and also it lead to the death of local made products.
First of all, local shops owner are collecting revenue from their family business Thus it is the main source for their survival.However ,the growth of local market are greatly influenced by the dominance of supermart. So decrease in their revenue eventually become a loss making business that's what makes difficult for the survival of local people's.For example , small business like vegetables shops have very less variety so they are now suffering from loss in revenue and it makes harder for people's to subsists and compete with the supermarket because they have different types of products as compared to local business. Although,Lesser the variety greatly impinge the choice of cutomers to buy something from small local shops.
In addition,the demand of the local made products are severly declining because of the rapid expansion of the Mall near the cities across country. Local communities provides a sense of culture and traditons of a country but it is decreasing now because of the instant development in the technology and the advancement of the industry so it affects the demands of local made products and hence we lost the culture and traditions because the local communities are shifting towards some others kind of works.For example ,In India before 1947 there were thousands or hundred thousands of skilled handicraftsman were living. They were usually working on different sectors from designing to building .But today their populations has significantly decreasing because the demand was lesser and the cost of making was high.
In conculsion, i apprehend that the closure of small business only because the hegemony of supermarket. They attract customers from their great advertisment and the local communities are moving to different kind of works for new source of income and lesser the variety is also the second reason why it has influenced the local business so hardly.
