Ielts writing task 1: line graph

Question

The line graph illustrates the waste production by three different companies from 2000 to 2015.

Overall, the amounts of waste produced by company C experienced a significantly increase, while the waste output by company A and B both fell. At first, company A produced the largest amount of waste but at the end of the period, company C became the biggest producer.

In 2000, the waste production by company A and B were around 12 tonnes and 8 tonnes respectively. Then, the waste output by company B continued to increased sharply in 2005 reaching almost 10 tonnes of waste. However, at the end of the period, it dramatically dropped to 3 tonnes of waste and became the smallest producer.

On the other hand, company C started off as the smallest producer (about 3 tonnes) in 2000 after which this figure rosed sharply to around
12 tonnes and became the biggest producer among these two companies.

Sample:

The line graph compares the waste production, in tonnes, of three companies, A, B and C, from 2000 to 2015.

Overall, the total amount of waste generated decreased over the period. Cuts by Companies A and B were offset by a large increase in Company C. In 2000, Company A produced the most, followed by B and C. The order was quite different in 2015, with Company C coming in highest, followed by A and then B.

In detail, the three generated 24 tonnes of waste in 2000; half of that was by Company A. and one-third by Company B. In 2015, the total was 3 tonnes less. Company B cut its waste by more than 60%, from 8 to 3 tonnes. Company A also went down by a third, from 12 to 8 tonnes. But waste production of Company C more than doubled, from 4 to 10 tonnes. The year 2005 had the highest total waste production, 27 tonnes. Company B had a peak at 10 tonnes, and Company C had also gone up from 4 to 6 tonnes.
