SAMPLE 1 OF LINE GRAPH- TASK 1 The line graph shows the number of goods transported in the UK from 1994 to 2002. In general, all transport systems experienced fluctuations with road being four times higher than pipeline in the number of goods Fluctuating slightly between 60 and 80 tons from 1974 to 1994, the number of tons by road increased strongly to the highest point of nearly 100 million tons in 2002 In addition, water transport saw an unstable trend between 40 and 60 million tons for the first 24 years, before a climb to above 60 million tons in 2002 Similarly, the figure transported by rail went ups and downs during most periods, but ended with a figure/number equal to that in 1974. Pipeline, however, had a continuous increase over the years in the number/quantity of delivered goods In brief, while water and road were the most popular means, the opposite was true of the rest (Adverbial) SAMPLE 2 OF LINE GRAPH- TASK 1

The line graph shows the number of goods transported in the UK from 1974 to 2002. In general, most transport systems showed an increase in the number of tons transported through the years with road being four times higher than pipeline For example, after a slight fluctuation for the first twenty years, road underwent a rise to the highest point of nearly 100 tons in 2002. Similarly, the number of tons delivered by water experienced the same trend from the lowest point of about 39 tons to a peak of above 60 tons. However, despite some fluctuations, the quantity of tons by rail ended the period with a figure which was equal to that of the first year (about 40 tons). Interestingly, pipeline was the only transportation system that noticed a continuous, but insignificant rise over the years. In brief, while road and water were the most popular means of transportation, the opposite was true of rail and pipeline. Particularly, the figure transported by pipeline was approximately two times lower than those of two former systems
