SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph illustrates how much three different kinds of food were eaten in China over a period of 26 years.
Overall, it is clear that fish was the most popular food in China throughout the period shown. Also, while the consumption of meat and fish saw an increase, there was a gradual fall in that of salt.
The amount of fish consumed was the highest over the years with 600 grams in 1985. In the first 10 years, the figure of fish experienced a fluctuant period between 600 and 700 grams. Fish consumption continued to increase by 250 in the remaining years.
In 1985, almost 500 grams of salt was eaten in China, while the amount of meat was lower by 400, the amount of salt used by Chinese people fell constantly to only 200 in 2010. In the same year, meat consumption caught up with salt after a 25-year period of steady rise.
