The line graph illustrates the average cost that American customers spent on mobile
and landline phone services annually over a 10-year period.

Overall, spending on residential phone services dramatically declined, while

popularity of mobile 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 the residential phone services was around $700. Over the
following five years, expenditure on landline phone services gradually dropped below
$600, whereas expenditure on cell phone services 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 $750 in 2010, making nearly a fourfold jump
relatively to its initial figure in 2001. Meanwhile, spending on residential phone
services experienced a steep fall in 2007 and went on to steadily decrease for the rest
of the period.

Task: Describe the following line graph

The given line graph illustrates the average daily viewing figures for Channel One News over a 12-month
period. Overall, it can be clearly seen that only two lines were roughly stable, while others had a significant
change during the year.
To begin with, the figure for the 1pm News remained fairly stable, hovering at around 1.3 million throughout
the year. The figure for the 6pm News began the year at 4.8 million. It fluctuated, but the general trend was
downwards, and it ended the year at 3.4 million.
The figure for the 9:30 News gradually increased from 3.2 million viewers per day in January to a peak of 3.8
million in May. However, this month saw the introduction of the 11pm News, and the figure for the 9:30 News
plummeted, hitting a low-point of 1.1 million in August. In the same period, the figure for the 11pm news
rocketed from 0.2 million to 4.1 million. At this point, the trend reversed. From August onwards, the figure for
the 9:30 news grew steadily, reaching 3 million by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the figure for the 11pm
News declined sharply, and in December fell below the 1 million mark.
