Question

The graph gives information about the amount of carbon dioxide a person produced in 4 countries: the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.

Overall, the average C02 emissions per person in the UK and Sweden went down in the period of 40 years, meanwhile that of Italy and Portugal went up.

As can be seen from the graph, each Swedish person produced roughly at 8.5 tonnes of CO2 in 1967 while a British person emitted 11 tonnes. After that, the average carbon emissions in Sweden rose significantly and hit its peak at approximately 11 in 1977. The period from 1977 onwards witnessed a sharp decline in CO2 emissions in both Sweden and England. The amount of CO2 in the UK gradually to 9 in 2007, while that of Sweden almost halved at around 5 in the same year.

Looking at the graph, Italy’s average CO2 started at over 4 tonnes which was twice as much as that amount of Portugal in 1967. Both countries Italy and Portugal experienced a dramatic rise in the carbon dioxide emissions to nearly 8 and 5 tonnes respectively in 2007.

The (what kind of graph?) graph gives information about the amount of carbon dioxide a person produced in 4 countries: (This says that there was one person who produced CO₂. This person went to four countries during that time to produce CO₂.) the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.

Overall, the average C02 emissions per person in the UK and Sweden went down ~~in the period of 40 years~~, ~~meanwhile~~ while those ~~that~~ of Italy and Portugal went up.

~~As can be seen from the graph,~~ Each Swedish person produced roughly at 8.5 tonnes of CO2 in 1967 while a British person (One British person?) emitted 11 tonnes. After that, (After this British person emitted 11 tonnes?) the average carbon emissions in Sweden rose significantly and hit its peak at approximately 11 in 1977. The period from 1977 onwards witnessed (Avoid using anthropomorphic verbs such as witness and experience in Task 1. Task 1 is a scientific or mathematical description of a figure. You can use these verbs in a Task 2 essay where the effective use of literary devices shows great writing skill. ) a sharp decline in CO2 emissions in both Sweden and England. The amount of CO2 in the UK gradually to 9 in 2007, (??) while that of Sweden almost halved at around 5 (Did it go down 50% in a single year?) in the same year.

~~Looking at the graph,~~ (You are writing a description of the graph for a professor. They know you are looking at it. This does not describe the data.) Italy’s average CO2 (??) started at over 4 tonnes which was twice as much as that amount of Portugal in 1967. Both countries Italy and Portugal experienced a dramatic rise in the carbon dioxide emissions to nearly 8 and 5 tonnes respectively in 2007.

Here is a model essay for your review.

The line graph compares the average amount of carbon dioxide released annually per person in four different countries (The UK, Sweden, Italy and Portugal) over a 40-year period, 1967 to 2007. Measurements are given in metric tonnes and the values shown on the graph range from less than one to eleven tonnes.

Overall, the graph can be divided into two time periods. During the first thirty years, from 1967 to 1997, two countries (Portugal and Italy) showed an increase, and the other two (The UK and Sweden) showed a decrease. After 1997, emissions in three countries decreased and they were nearly flat in the fourth (Portugal).

The ranking of the countries changed substantially from the beginning to the end. In 1967, the UK had the highest value, at about 10.8 tonnes. This was followed by Sweden (8.5), Italy (4.1) and Portugal (1.3). In 2007, the leader was still the UK at 8.7 tonnes, followed by Italy (7.8), Portugal and Sweden (5.5).

In particular, the UK showed a constant value (about 10.8) for the first ten years followed by slowly declining curve (a rate of about 0.6 tonnes per year) from 1977 to 2007. In contrast, Sweden, Italy and Portugal had large increases in the first ten years; emissions went up in Sweden by about 16% (from 8.8 to 10.2), over 45% (4.2 to 6.2) in Italy, and 83% in Portugal (1.2 to 2.2). The year 1977 was a year of peak emissions for Sweden. In the next ten years, it decreased its per capita emissions by over 30% (10.2 to 7.1), and continued its decline at a linear rate of 0.1 tonnes per year from 1987 to 2007. Portugal had the largest percentage increase (over 350%) over the period, though its per capita emissions were nearly constant over the final ten years.
