Lesson 6 _ line graph

A line graph is used to show

changes over time

Compared to previous graph, line graphs cover either

1. a much longer period of time

2. a shorter period of time broken down into short intervals such as 12 months or 24 months

there are minor details to ignore

it means that you have to be selective in choosing what to write about

Unlike table or pie charts

you have to estimate the figures

Line graphs sometimes present

predicted data for a time in a future

If we are linking two different times,

we need to think about whether to use a simple present/ past tense (do/did) or present tense (have done/ had done)

Estimating

about, almost, approximately, around, close to, just under, just over, nearly, roughly

the past perfect

1. It is used to show a link between two different times in the past.
   

2. It is often used with the preposition ‘by’ + a specific time (e.g. a year)
   

Mặc dù lượng thịt cừu được tiêu thụ hàng tuần xấp xỉ 150 gram trong năm đầu tiên, vào năm cuối nó đã trải qua một sự sụt giảm lớn, giảm xuống gần 50 grams

can’t use “reach”

reach a higher level not fall
