The chart shows the total number of minutes in billionsof telephone calls in UK, divided into three categories: local - fixed line; national and international - fixed line; mobiles - between 1995 and 2002.

Over the period, call types have different changes. However, they always in a same situation, which local-fixed line had the greatest number while mobiles was at the least.

National and international - fixed line; mobiles have similar trend: growing steadily. In 1995, mobiles cited at under 5 billions minutes of calling and then went up to a very approximately 45 billions minutes in 2002, which grew 900%. On the other hand, national and international - fixed line had nearly 40 billions minutes calling in 1995 and over 60 billion minutes in 2002. Through years, this category showed the higher number than its first search, in 1995, just nearly 150%.

Among three categories, local - fixed line had the highest amount of calling minutes. Meanwhile, it was on a different trend from others. Local - fixed line grew steadily and its peak was in 1999, at 90 billion minutes. After the year of 1999, this category followed a decrease trend and result in a fail to about 70 billion minutes in 2002.

The (What kind of chart is this?) chart shows the total number of minutes in billionsof telephone calls (That is not good. It is not plotting billions of telephone calls. ) in UK, divided into three categories: local - fixed line; national and international - fixed line; mobiles - between (The punctuation is incorrect. It makes your sentence inaccurate) 1995 and 2002.

Over the period, call types have different changes. (That is not a very good observation. Almost everything changes in eight years. ) However, they always in a same situation, (ungrammatical sentence. There is no verb. Also "situation" is not a good word to use.) which local-fixed line had the greatest number while mobiles was at the least.

National and international - fixed line; (wrong punctuation) mobiles have similar trends, growing steadily. In 1995, mobiles cited (wrong word) at under 5 billions minutes (Wrong form of numbers) of calling and then went up to ~~a very~~ approximately 45 billions minutes in 2002, ~~which grew~~ a change of 900%. On the other hand, national and international - fixed line had nearly 40 billions minutes calling in 1995 and over 60 billion minutes in 2002. Through years, (unnatural phrase, not good English) this category showed the higher number (Not a good phrase. "The higher number" is the larger number of two numbers that you have already mentioned. ) than its first search, (Search? There are no searches on this plot.) in 1995, just nearly 150%.

Among three categories, local - fixed line had the highest amount (Amount is for non-count nouns. Amount of water, amount of money, or amount of salt.) of ~~calling~~ minutes. ~~Meanwhile~~, it was also on a different trend from the other two. Local - fixed line grew steadily and its peak was in 1999, at 90 billion minutes. After the year of 1999, this category followed a decrease (wrong form - decreasing) trend and result (wrong form) in a fail (wrong word) to about 70 billion minutes in 2002.

Example:

The bar chart compares the total minutes of telephone calls each year in the UK over the eight-year period from 1995 to 2002. The totals are separated out by the type of call: Local (from a fixed line), International/national (from a fixed line) and mobile calls to all destinations. The units are billions of minutes.

Overall, the total time that people spent on these calls increased over the period, from 112 in 1995, to 150 in 1999, to 175 billion minutes in 2002. Local fixed lines always accounted for the largest proportion, with international/national fixed line calls being second and mobile calls third. However, the use of local fixed lines for calls peaked in 1998-1999 with close to 90 billion minutes in each year. After 1999, the decline in these calls of approximately 20 billion minutes was more than compensated by a 30-billion-minute increase in mobile calls. Fixed-line national / international calls increased linearly at a rate of about 3.3 billions of minutes annually.
