LINE GRAPH:

1.The line chart shows the household recycling rates in three different countries between
2005 and 2015.

The line chart illustrates the regional household recycling rates in the UK, France and Germany
from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, the recycling rates of the UK and Germany showed a steady but significant rise over
the period, while the percentage of recycled waste in France experienced a downward trend.
In 2005 the recycling rates of the UK and Germany were nearly 37% and 20% respectively.
Germany’s rate increased sharply throughout the period, exceeding France’s rate in 2009 and
reaching almost 60% in the end of the period. In the meantime, the percentage of recycled
waste in the UK grew to roughly 40% in 2007, and remained steady until 2009. During 2009-
2011, it experienced a rapid surge to more than 50% and continued with a gradual increase to
60% in 2015.
In early 2005 the recycling rate of France (50%) was the highest among three countries.
However, it dramatically decreased to 30% in 2013.Then, there was a growth of 10% in 2015,
but the France’s rate was the lowest in the end of the period.

2. The graph shows average annual expenditures on cell phone and residential phone
services between 2001 and 2010.
The line chart illustrates the average cost that American customers spent on the mobile phone
and landline phone services annually over a 10-year period.
Overall, spending on residential phone services dramatically declined, while the popularity of
cell phone services increased sharply throughout a decade. Also, both of services met at the
same record in 2006.
In 2001, spending on mobile phone services began by merely $200, while the amount of annual
expenditure on residential phone services was around $700. Over the following of five years,
expenditure on landline phone services gradually dropped below $600, whereas expenditure on
cell phones rose to just over $500.
In 2006, cell phones overtook landline phones, and the services became equal in popularity with
customers’ annual expenditure of about $550. Then, cell phone expenses rose to approximately
$700 in 2010, making nearly a fourfold jump relatively to its initial figure in 2001. Meanwhile,
spending on residential services experienced a steep fall in 2007 and went on to decrease for
the rest of the period.
