SAMPLE ANSWER
The given column graph shows the production of paper and plastic cups over the course of one year. No obvious correlation between the manufacturing levels of each cup type can be seen in the graph.
In January and March, about 1.1 million paper cups are manufactured. In between these two months the figure peaks at roughly 1.7 million in February and 1.8 million in April. 1.2 million Paper cups are manufactured in May, June and July. After that there is a gradual decrease and by September, the production reaches 1 million cups. This number jumps to approximately 1.5 million units in October. Paper cup levels finish the year at slightly less than 1.2 million.
Plastic cups commence the year at 1.2 million units. Throughout the year there are fluctuations. The months of February, April, June, August, September and December all hover at roughly a million finished products each. Between these months, however, production values rise to varying levels, the highest of these being in July at 1.75 million.
