Categorize them under the following section headings:

- went up a little
- went up very quickly
- arrived at its highest point
- went up noticeably over a period of time

Write your answers in the comments below. I’ll reveal the answers tomorrow.
Let’s do some more work on understanding charts and graphs in IELTS Writing Task 1.
Below is a brief description of the graph I posted yesterday. I want you to draw the missing parts of the graph from the description. You might want to print a copy of the graph or draw a rough version in your notebook.
Tomorrow, I’ll reveal the actual line graph so you can check if you interpreted the language properly.
