Values do not see things or witness things or experience things. Humans do. Do not use human verbs for inanimate objects or concepts.

Fluctuate is wrong. Read my advice, which gives examples of fluctuation.

There are no percentages shown on the graph. Look at the Y-Axis. It does not show the "%" sign, or the word "percentage". The birth rate is defined as the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a year. The units of measure are numbers, such as 5, 10 and 20.

Birth Rate is a standard scientific statistical measurement used by demographers. The name is fixed, along with fertility rate, death rate, and population growth rate. It is a terrible mistake to change the name of a defined statistic to something of your own invention.

In Task 1, you are writing for a math or science professor. You must be accurate, precise, and use the appropriate vocabulary.

Sample Essay:

The line graph gives the birth rates for two countries, China and the USA, over the 80-year period from 1920 to 2000.

Overall, the USA had a higher birth rate than China, with the exception of two short time spans, 1930-35 and 1945-1952. The two curves were highly positively correlated with lower values at the end of the period compared to the beginning.

In detail, from 1920-1930, the birth rates varied in a narrow range between 10 and 12, with the US being about 1 higher than China. There was a small peak for China's birth rate around 1935, when it increased to 15, as the value in the USA was 13. Both dropped to half their initial values between 1940-45, hitting low points of 5. Five years later there were sharp peaks, China at 20 and the US at 15. In China, the decline after the 1952 peak was precipitous, reaching 7 in 1955 before tapering off for the rest of the period, and ending between 2 and 3. The curve for the US tracked China's, averaging about 5 higher during the post-1955 period.

Information is provided in this graph about fertility compared between USA and China over a period of 80 years.

It is clear that the birth rate in China rose dramatically from 1950 to 1955. Besides, sharply growht was occured in America at that period but slightly below from the Chinese.

Between 1920 and arond 1927, The number of people who was born in both countries was in the same process. However, significant drop happened in birth rate of USA among 1933 and 1942which remained constant approximately for 5 year. After that becoming rapid rise in a short period, the birth rate began to go down for the rest of the and may fall over the next few years.

Sudden fall in China observed for 10 years between 1940 and 1950 before the dramatic rise. Then from 1950 till 2000 the fertility slightly fluctuated but mainly went down. One of the main point was during the last 15 years the same process repeated again.
