The graph below shows the consumption of spreads from 1981 to 2007.

Question

The line graph indicates the amount of three kinds of spreads (margarine, butter and low fat and reduced spreads) which were consumed over a period of 26 years. Units are measured in grams.

Overall, it is evident that the consumption of margarine and butter generally declined over the period given, while that of low fat & reduced spreads rose. In the first year, butter was the most popular spread, which was replaced by margarine from 1991 to 2001. And, following that low fat and reduced spreads was the most widely used spread in the final years.

At the beginning of the period, there was a steady increase in the proportion of butter from just over 140 grams and peaked at under 160 grams in 1986. After which the consumption of butter plunged to a low of about 50 grams. Likewise, that of margarine fluctuated at somewhere between 80 and 100 grams prior to 1991. In 1991, it remained relatively stable of 100 before dropping dramatically to 40 grams.

On the other hand, the expenditure of low fat and reduced only started at approximately 10 grams in 1996 and then reached a high of marginally above 80 grams in 2001. And then, the expenditure of low fat and reduced slightly spreads had a downward trend from just over 80 in 2001 to 40 grams in 2007.

There is something missing from the instructions. For example, did everyone in this location consume a total of 141 grams of butter in 1981? That does not make any sense at all. Please post the complete instructions. These IELTS tests usually are quite precise.

Overall, it is evident that (Delete this. Words like "obvious, clear, evident and apparent" are opinion words. DO not write anything intimating your opinion in Task 1. That is for Task 2. ) the consumption of margarine and butter generally declined over the period given, while that of low fat & reduced spreads rose. In the first year, butter was the most popular spread, which was replaced by margarine from 1991 to 2001. And, following that, low fat and reduced spreads was the most widely used type of spread in the final years.

Missing significant observation:
These people used less fatty spreads at the end of the period than they did at the beginning. The total quantity of fatty spreads consumed declined from 230 to 160 grams. Most of this decline occurred after 2001.

At the beginning of the period, there was a steady increase in the proportion (wrong word. A proportion is a fractional or relative part, not an absolute quantity.) of butter from just over 140 grams and peaked at under 160 (Wrong expression. 30 grams is "under 160" and so is 120 or 90 or 54. You must qualify "over and under with an adverb.) grams in 1986. After which the consumption of butter plunged (Do not use emotive words like "rocket", "plunge" or "soar" in Task 1. Use words that would be appropriate for a math professor, not a journalism professor. Appropriate vocabulary words are objective, dispassionate, and mathematical. The quantity of butter consumed decreased exponentially between 1991 and 2007.) to a low of about 50 grams. Likewise, that of margarine fluctuated (wrong word. ... varied between 80 and 100 grams during the period from 1981 to 2001.) at somewhere between 80 and 100 grams prior to 1991. In 1991, (Wrong expression. The period of stability is 1991-1996, not just in one year.) it remained relatively stable of 100 before dropping ~~dramatically~~ to 40 grams.

On the other hand, the expenditure (Wrong word. It is not money you are talking about. ) of low fat and reduced (missing word) only started at approximately 10 grams in 1996 and then reached a high of marginally above 80 grams in 2001. And then, the expenditure of low fat and reduced slightly (??) spreads had a downward trend from just over 80 in 2001 to 40 grams in 2007.
