features.(100 words)26.As can be seen from the graph,three different choices,including enquiring in person,by calling and by e-mail or letter,were presented.The number of enquiries made by communicating face to face witnessed a constant upward trend from 400 to 1200 over the half year,transforming from the least popular way to the most prevalent mode.The line graph illustrates the number of enquiries to obtain tourist information in different means during a six-month period from January 2001.27.With respect to the number of enquiries by letter/email,it started at 800 in January,and remained relatively stable in the first four months before increasing smoothly to about 1100 in June(全用动词).However,the trend for telephone was quite different,with the number decreasing continuously from 600 in January to 450 in May and then reducing markedly to reach the bottom of 200(用with+ing分词引出数据变化).Overall,it is obvious that people tended to seek advice about traveling from theprofessionalsinperson.28.LineGraph总结:整体趋势1975前相反,1975后类似To conclude,the general tendency for male and female rates of smoking in the UK formed a striking contrast before 1975.As time went on,the
