EXERCISE 1

SAMPLE ANSWER:
The given line chart compares three companies in terms of waste output between
2000 and 2015.
Overall, it is clear that there were significant changes in the amounts of waste
produced by all three companies shown on the graph. While the amount of waste
produced by companies A and B decreased considerably over the 15-year period,
waste production of company C experienced a significant rise.
In 2000, company A’s waste production was the highest, at 12 tonnes while the
figures for B and C were lower, at 8 tonnes and 4 tonnes, respectively. Over the
following 5 years, the waste output of companies B and C rose by around 2 tonnes,
but the figure for company A fell by approximately 1 tonne.
From 2005 to 2015, the amount of waste produced by company A declined to some
7 tonnes. Similarly, waste output of company B saw a dramatic drop to only 3
tonnes after increasing to a peak of roughly 10 tonnes in 2005. By contrast, there
was a rapid increase in the in the amount of waste generated by company C to
about 10 tonnes, which was higher than the figures for other two companies at the
end of the period.
