The graph below shows the number of people taking part in a wildlife survey in Britain between 2001 and 2009. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The given table illustrates the information about the numbers of people (adults and children), who participated in a survey about wildlife in Britain from 2001 to 2009. It is evident from the graph that the total participants grew more than eleven fold from 2001 to 2009. The number escalated from 48,000 to 540,000 in the given period.
The number of adults increased from 36,000 in 2001 to 212,000 in 2003, which was the biggest increase ever. It went up to 332,000 in 2005, after which the number of adults started falling and in 2009 only 240,000 took part in the survey.
A similar trend of increase in the number of participants was seen in children from 2001 to 2003, although the number of children was much lesser than that of adults. But, after that the numbers started to fall. Surprisingly, in 2009, the number of children participating in the survey grew dramatically to 270,000, an increase of nine times. The total numbers of adults and children participating was equal in 2009, at 270,000 each.
Overall, in all the given years the number of adult participants was way more than the number of children, except for 2009, in which both categories participated in equal numbers.
