HOW TO DESCRIBE A LINE-CHART (or LINE-GRAPH) A) a LINE-CHART
B) DESCRIBING TRENDS Selecting information It is important that you describe the whole graph fully. However, this does not mean that you should note every detail. In most cases there will be too much information for you to mention each figure. You will therefore need to summarise the graph by dividing it into its main parts. This is what we mean by describing the trends. For example, in a chronological line graph it might seem sensible to describe the information year by year or period by period. The graph above gives the information in five year sections so we could write our report like this: The number of cases of X disease started at 50 in 1965 and then went up gradually to 100 in 1965 and continued up to 200 in 1970 and then went up more sharply to 380 in 1975. In the Sample Task, the graph shows four main trends: ♦ first, a gradual increase from 1960 to 1968 ♦ second, a steeper increase from 1968 to 1977 ♦ third, a plateau from 1977 to 1983 ♦ fourth, a drop from 1983 to 1988 The structure of the report must show these four main trends clearly. Describing trends Trends are changes or movements. These changes are normally expressed in numeric items, for example, population, production volumes or unemployment. There are three basic trends:
DIRECTIONS
VERBS
NOUNS
Rose (to rise) Increased (to increase) Went up (to go up) Climbed (to climb) Boomed (to boom) Skyrocket (to)
A rise An increase Growth An upward trend A boom (a dramatic rise)
Fell (to fall) Declined (to decline) Decreased (to decline) Dipped (to dip) Dropped (to drop) Went down (to go down) Slumped (to slump) Reduced (to reduce)
A decrease A decline A fall A drop A slump (a dramatic fall) A reduction
Levelled out (at) Did not change Remained stable (at) Remained steady (at) Stayed constant (at) Maintained the same level
A levelling out No change
Fluctuated (around) Peaked (at) Plateaued (at) Stood at (we use this phrase to focus on a particular point, before we mention the movement, for example: In the first year, unemployment stood at ... )
A fluctuation Reached a peak (of) Reached at plateau (at)

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. In conclusion, the graph shows that the disease was increasingly prevalent until the 1980s when it was eradicated from Someland.
