Model answer
The three graphs of wheat exports each show a quite different pattern between 1985 and 1990. Exports
from Australia declined over the five-year period, while the Canadian market fluctuated considerably, and
the European Community showed an increase.
In 1985, Australia exported about 15 millions of tons of wheat and the following year the number
increased by one million tons to 16 million. After that, however, there was a gradual decline until 1989 and
1990 when it stabilized at about 11 million tons. Over the same period, the amount of Canadian exports
varied greatly. It started at 19 million tons in 1985, reached a peak in 1988 of 24 million, dropped
dramatically in 1989 to 14 million tons and then climbed back to 19 million in 1990. Seventeen million tons
were exported from the European Community in 1985, but this decreased to 14 million tons in 1986 and
then rose to 15 million in 1987 and 1988 before increasing once more to 20 million in 1990. (165 words)
