The graph below shows the number of people at a London underground station from 6:00 to 22:00. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample：

The line graph illustrates the data about people at a London subway station from 6am to 10pm.
As we can see from the line graph, the number of people using this station fluctuates over these 16 hours. More specifically, at first, at 6am the number of people at the station stands at only 100. Then, the number shoots up over the next two hours, peaking at 400 at 8am. After that, the number declines rapidly for two hours, bottoming out at 180 at 10am. The period between 10 o’clock and 12 o’clock experiences a slight growth in the number of people in the station, with the number reaching 280 at midday. Numbers in following two hours level off at under 300 people. From this point onwards, the number plunges to only 100 from 2pm to 4pm. The next two hours experiences a sharp rise again, with 6 pm arriving at 380 people. After 6pm,the number falls again, reaching the lowest point of 130 at 8pm. The period from 8pm to 10pm sees a slight rise, but finally the number of people declines again from 180 at 9pm to 135 at 10pm.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen from the line graph that the most people use the subway station during the rush hours in the early morning and the early evening.

The table below summarizes some data collected by a college bookshop for the month of February 1998.
Write a report describing the sales figures of various types of publications, based on the information shown in the table.

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample：

The table describes some sales figures gathered by a college bookstore for February, 1998.

We can see from the table that the non-book club member figures are made up of sales to college staff, college students and members of the public. More specifically, college staff bought 332 magazines, 44 fiction and 29 non-fiction books while college students bought 1249 magazines, 194 non-fiction books and 31 fiction books. More magazines were sold to college students than any other group of customers. In contrast, although no fiction books were sold to members of the public, they bought 122 non-fiction books and 82 magazines.

According to the table, book club members bought more fiction (76) and non-fiction books (942) than other customers. On the other hand, magazine sales to club members ( 33) were fewer than to any other type of customers.

The total number of sales for the month was 3134( 1474 to college students, 405 to staff, 204 to the public and 1051 to book club members). 151 books sold were fiction and 1287 were non-fiction. Therefore, it can be clearly seen from the table that magazines accounted for the greatest number of sales (1696)

The diagram below shows ho The Australian Bureau of Meteorology Y collects up-to-the minute information on the weather in order to produce reliable forecasts.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample:
The diagram shows in four stages how the Australian Bureau of Meterlogy gets its weather information.

In the first stage there is the “incoming information”. Raw data is collected from outer space, on land, or at sea, using satellite, radar, and drifting buoy respectively. Next, this data is analyzed and forecasted by experts. At this stage experts study satellite photos, radar screens, and synoptic charts to determine weather conditions. Stage three of the process is when the information is prepared for broadcast This is done through computer which sends all necessary data to the fourth stage. At this point the weather data is broadcasted to the general public via TV, radio and telephone (recorded announcement).

Thus, the process diagram shows how weather data are collected, studied, prepared, and broadcasted finally.

The graph below shows radio and television audiences throughout the day in 1992
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words..

Sample:
The line graph indicates the data of radio and TV audiences in 24 hours ( 6am to 6am the next day) in 1992.
As can be seen from the line graph, there was a slight rise in the number of audiences from around 3% at 6am to about 7% at 8am. Then, from 8am to noon, it remained stable. After that, the number of audiences rose sharply until 8pm, peaking at just over 40%. From this point onwards, the number declined fast to around 4% at 6am the next morning.
Then, according to the line graph, unlike the TV audiences, the number of radio audiences increased rapidly from 6am (4% of the British population over 4 years old) to 8am, reaching the highest percentage at 27%. Then, in the next 22 hours, the proportion decreased gradually, with a slight rise from 4pm (11%) to 5pm and at around 11pm.

Therefore, it can be clearly seen from the line graph that before 2pm, the audience of people who listened to the radio was larger than the number of people watching TV. After that, more UK residents chose to watch TV instead of listening to the radio. Overall, in these 24 hours, the TV audiences were larger than the radio audiences.
