Sample writing
The bar chart provides information about the amount of electricity produced
annually from alternative energy sources for Turkey, Spain, and Italy
between 1980 and 2010 .
Overall, both turkey and Italy had an increase in their annual electricity
production over the given period, whereas the trend for Spain showed some
fluctuations.
According to the data, Turkey produced slightly above 4 million Kilowatts
of electricity in 1980 ; however, this amount almost halved a decade later ,
when a gradual rise made it reach its highest amount of electricity
production with nearly 4.5 million 
.
On the other hand, Italy had much
lower production of electricity at 2 million Kilowatts at the beginning of the
period , and stabilized until 1990 ; however, in 2000 , it experienced a
gradual growth to 3 million in its annual production followed by a sharp
increase to a peak of 5 million in 2010 .
In contrast, the trend for Spain varied drastically over the period . While its
electricity production stood at just above 2 million in 1980 , it surged
significantly to a peak of over 4 million 10 years later ; however, it
