The graph below shows the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
My essay:
The line chart illustrates the average amount that carbon dioxide emissions per person in four countries, namely United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.
