Double-Line Graphs

Sample 1

The graph shows the information about the rates of smoking between men and women in
Someland, between 1960 and 2000.

Overall, the graph demonstrates that there was a stark contrast between the rates of men and
women who smoked in Someland.

In 1960, the rate of men who smoked was approximately 600. After that, the rate dropped
slightly to around 580 in 1970. It then continued to experience a small drop between 1970 and
1990 to 390 before there was a more rapid decline to just around 250 in 2000.

In 1960, the rate of women who smoked was around 100. The number rose slightly between
1960 and 1970, from 100 to approximately 190. Likewise, after 1970, there was still a little
growth in the number of women who smoked, up to 300 in 1975. In spite of such an increase,
there was a gradual fall of the rate of women after 1975. It continued falling to just
approximately 200 in 2000.
Sample 2

The graph shows the information about the rates of smoking between men and women in
Someland, between 1960 and 2000.

Overall, the graph demonstrates that there was a stark contrast between the rates of men and
women who smoked in Someland.

In 1960, there was a very big difference between the number of men and women who smoked in
Someland. The rate of men was approximately 600, while the rate of women was only around
100. Between 1960 and 1975, the number of men who smoked declined moderately to around
500. However, the rate of women rose fairly abruptly to a little over 300 in those same years.

Within the next 15 years, the rate of men still kept dropping to just below 400, and like the rate
of men, there was also a gradual decline in the rate of women, to just around 300. In the last 10
years from 1990 to 2000, the rates of both men and women who smoked continued to meet a
downward trend to just approximately 230 and 200, respectively.
Sample 3

The graph shows how many 13-year-old students have studied French and Mandarin between
2000 and the present day in a school in England.

Overall, it can be seen that more students have been choosing to study Mandarin, but French is
still the most popular language option.

In 2000, the number of students who took French was 150, compared to just under 10 students
who chose Mandarin. So there was a significant difference in numbers at this time.

Over the next five years, the figure fell considerably for French, but rose dramatically for
Mandarin and reached a peak at 75 students. Since 2005, the trends have not changed as much.
French gained some popularity in 2006 but has remained fairly stable since then at about 90
students. In contrast, the number of students taking Mandarin dipped in 2006 and then fluctuated
before it reached to 75.
