LINE CHART
The graph below shows the differences in wheat exports over three different
areas. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information
shown below. Write at least 150 words.
ANSWER:
The line graph
compares
three regions
in terms of
exports of wheat between
1985 and 1990.
Overall
, the three regions experienced different trends in the time period.
While
the wheat export in Canada
and European countries
rose with some
fluctuations
, the export in Australia
fell over time
.
As the graph shows
, Australia's wheat export figure
started at
15
million tons
in 1985 followed by
a small increase to
around 16 million tons in 1986.
Then
,
it
declined steadily
until
it
fell to just over 10 million tons
in 1990.
Regarding
Canada's exports, in 1985 they shipped approximately 19
million tons of
wheat. This figure
fell to
about 17 million in 1986, but then their exports
experienced considerable growth
to 25 million tons in 1988.
Afterward
, the
figure
plunged to
below 15 million in 1989, but then subsequently
rose to
just
under 20 million in 1990.

By
contrast
, the wheat exports from the European Community
experienced an
increase
in the six year period. In 1985, nearly 16 million tons were exported,
but this number
fell to
about 14 million in 1986.
Then
, the exports
increased
to
exactly 15 million tons in 1987 and 1988
before
witnessing
steady growth
to
19 million and 21 million tons in 1989 and 1990,
respectively
.
