　　Melbourne $0.84 $0.84 $253

　　Perth $0.42 $1.5 $332

　　Sydney $0.98 $0.98 $319

　　Sample Answer:

　　The figure gives the information about how the water cost in five cities of Australia Year 2004 is compared.

　　Specifically, in 2004, water bill each household, the least of all items, was 253 dollars in Melbourne, where the usage charge per kiloliter was 0.84 dollars, whether the total of water use was up to 125 kiloliter or over. The similar pattern was found in usage charge per kiloliter in Sydney and Brisbane, 0.98 dollars and 0.78 dollars respectively. By contrast, that of Adelaide, 0.42 dollars, was the same as that of Perth when the total is no more than 125 kiloliters, but once the total was beyond the limit, both increased to 1.0 and 1.5 dollars individually. The water bill per family in Perth, the top, was 332 dollars, but that in other three cities was nearly 310 dollars.

　　All in all, in many parts of Australia the water charge per kiloliter depends on the total of water use, while the pattern is not in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. And there is a big difference in water cost per family in the five cities.
