Vocabulary"

1. Figure. In a science/ math formal context, a figure is a diagram inserted into the text. Avoid "figure" to mean a data value.

2. Fluctuation. Fluctuation is seen on line graphs, not in tables or bar graphs with just a few data points. It is a variation around a trend line. Fluctuations can be random or cyclical. Use "vary/variation" otherwise.

The bar chart illustrates the total amount of employment in terms of three industries related to tourism in a city in the UK over a 20-year period from 1989 to 2009 with the data measured in the number of jobs.

Overall, the figure for restaurants or hotels remained at a higher rate with the trend experiencing an upward trend throughout the period whereas travel and tourism made up the least significant part of the chart. Another interesting point is that the most noticeable disparity between the three categories can be found in the year 2009.

First and foremost, regarding restaurants and hotels, the job vacancies stood at 1100 while it later soared up to 1300 in 1994 prior to reaching a climax of 1600 until 1990. However, the trend for sport and leisure related jobs contributed the second most employment to the tourism industry of the city in which it fluctuated around 800 from 1989 to 1999 while the number of jobs declined slightly to reach under 800, which was around two times lower than that of aforementioned category.

Next, travel and tourism had the lowest figure compared with other groups. One fascinating fact is that this trend and the figure of sport and leisure had common in the fact that they both were equal in 1989 and 1994, accounting for approximately 800 jobs. In stark contrast, although by 2004, the jobs required in travel and tourism had slashed gradually to reach 600, there was over three times less employment in this category than the very first category at the end of the period.
