Sample Answer 1

                            The table displays the visitor numbers to Ashdown Museum, while the pie charts represent the proportion of visitors and their satisfaction levels before and after the museum's restoration. Overall, both visitor numbers and satisfaction levels have increased following the remodelling.

The museum experienced a significant boost in visitor numbers following its refurbishment. Specifically, there was a rise from 74,000 visits one year prior to the renovation to 94,000 visitors in the first year after the reconstruction. This suggests an increase of around 22,000 visitors in the immediate aftermath of the remodelling.

         Furthermore, the percentage of visitors who rated their experience as "dissatisfied" accounted for 40% of responses in the year prior to the museum's refurbishment. However, this figure dramatically dropped to 15% after the restoration. Additionally, only 5% of respondents reported being "very satisfied" with their visit initially. Interestingly, the proportion of satisfied and very satisfied respondents increased to 40% and 35%, respectively.
