from 1979 and(untill) 2004. The trends of beef and lamb consumption were similar, with decreases
in amount in between the years. While beef consumption had declined from over 200 grams per
person per week to around 100 grams during 25 years, lambs was starting (lamb consumption

The graph demonstrated(demonstrates) some striking similarities between the Chinese and the
US birth rates from 1920 to 2000. Both countries experienced considerable fluctuations in the
similar period with some lows(a fall) during the 1940s and some highs(a peak) during
the 1930s.(1950s)

The birth rates in China rose from 10% in 1920 to 15% in 1935. Later, the figure plunged to a low
of 5% in the 1940s and was followed by an exponential growth to the peak of 20% in 1950. Next,
the fertility rate dropped sharply to 8% in the following five years. Finally, the figure declined
gradually to 3% during the latter half of the century.

Meanwhile, the US had similar birth rate of 12% to that of China in 1920. The figure fluctuated in
between 12% and 14% during 1920s and 1930s until it hit a low of 4% in 1945. Five years later,
the birth rate reached a peak at 15% in 1950 but it made a steady fall to the final figure of around
7% in 2000.

Sample answer The graph shows the number of cases of X disease in Someland between the
years 1960 and 1995. As an overall trend, it is clear that the number of cases of the disease
increased fairly rapidly until the mid seventies, remained constant for around a decade at 500
cases before dropping to zero in the late 80s.

In 1960, the number of cases stood at approximately 100. That number rose steadily to 200
by 1969 and then more sharply to 500 in 1977. At this point the number of cases remained
stable until 1984 before plummeting to zero by 1988. From 1988 to 1995 Someland was free
of the disease.
