The graphs below show data on Australian trades with three other countries.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graphs show data on Australian trades with three other countries, namely China, Japan and the US.
The initial impression from the graphs is that Australia appeared to earn the highest revenue from exports to Japan. Additionally, Australian-American import-export values remained relatively static over the given period.
Regarding trades between Australia and China, exports underwent a gradual decrease from approximately 43% in 2002 to 40% in 2008. The figure for imports from China stood at about 30% and showed an upward trend to a high of around 43%, despite having an unexpected dip of about 3% in 2005.
Australia’s exports to Japan, after remaining stable for the first three years, soared to its peak of over AU$60 million in 2005, after which this figure halved to about AU$30 million in 2008. Meanwhile, imports from Japan remained consistent at a value of approximately AU$37 million throughout the period.
Trades between Australia and the US appeared to be the most stable, with both import and export values stabilized at around 23% and 40% respectively.
