particularly strong growth in biofuels. This sector did not exist in 1980 but experienced a steep
rise during the 2000s to over one quadrillion BTU per year. This made biofuels a serious
challenger to both wood and hydroelectric power, which both saw only limited growth overall.
The former grew steadily between 1975 and 1985, but then slipped back to around its original
level of 1.8 quadrillion BTU. The latter began the period at the same level as wood but
experienced more substantial growth.

However, it also fell back to around 2 quadrillion BTU, with a particularly sharp drop in the late
1990s.

Finally, wind power emerged late in the period but showed a gradual rise to around 0.5 quadrillion
BTU, suggesting that it, along with biofuels, will replace wood and hydroelectricity as the main
sources of renewable every in the future.

Overall, the most notable detail is that those three regions all attracted an increasing number of
foreigners. In addition, the lakes’ tourist figures witnessed the most dramatic change among those
given.

In more detail, at approximately 10,000 visitors in 1987, the quantity of foreign travelers who
were attracted to the lakes gradually rose to around 50,000 in 2000, before peaking at
approximately 75,000 tourists in 2002, This figure then dropped back down to approximately
50,000 people in 2007.

With regards to tourist numbers in coastal and mountainous areas, the overall figures increased,
however mountainous areas remained the least attractive travel option out of the three. In 1987,
the number of those who chose the coast as a travel destination stood at 40,000, compared to only
20,000 travelers who went to the mountains. In the next 14 years, the coast witnessed a slight
decrease in the quantity of visitors by a few thousand, which was followed by a significant climb
to around 60,000 people, whereas the number of those visiting mountainous areas went up
remarkably to 30,000 in 2001.

In the final 6 years, while the quantity of overseas tourists going to the coast rose moderately to
above 70,000, there was a slight climb in those who paid a visit to the mountains to about 35,000.

Sample answer

The line chart illustrates the number of inquiries sent to the Tourist Information Office in a
particular city via three means of communication, between January and June in 2011.

It is clear that visitors to the city made more inquires in person and via telephone, while written
letters and emails became the least common choices. Additionally, the number of enquiries in
person experienced the most dramatic change among the different options.

In January, the Tourist Information Office received 900 telephone enquiries, while just under 800
letters and emails were received. Not many tourists chose to ask for information in person, with
just over 400 queries. Over the next three months, the telephone still remained the most popular
method of enquiry, at approximately 1000 queries.

Meanwhile, the number of enquires made in person saw considerable growth to 800, surpassing
the figures for emails and postal enquires. From March to June, enquires in person were the most
common method of inquiry. By June, the number of in person enquires soared by more than 1,000
to peak at 1,900. During this period, there was also a significant rise in the figure for telephone
enquiries, from 1000 to 1600. By contrast, fewer people sent emails or letters to make enquires,
with slightly less than 400 enquires in May and June.
Đề 4: The line graph below shows the oil production and consumption in China between
1982 and 2006.  

Hotline: 090.666.1276

Sample answer

The line graph details the amount of oil produced and consumed in China over the 24-year
course from 1982 to 2006.

The initial impression from the chart is that China generally consumed more oil that it
could actually produce over the given period. It is also clear that both figures experienced
overall increases, despite the fact that oil production underwent around 8 years of stability.

In 1982 around 1.8 million oil barrels were consumed and 2 million were produced. Over
the next 12 years, whilst oil production rose gradually to 3 million in 1986 and
subsequently stagnated at this point until 1994, oil consumption underwent a steady rise,
with its figure increasing to 3.5 million in 1994.

From this point onwards, the amount of oil produced maintained its upward streak, albeit
at a moderate level, and eventually it reached its high of 3.8 million in 2006. The figure for
oil consumed, meanwhile, surged with an exponential gradient, making a more than two-
