Model Answer 1:
The bar chart outlines how many Japanese travelled overseas
between 1985 and 1995 while the line graph delineates the
percentages of these tourists who visited Australia in particular
between 1985 and 1994. Overall, the number of Japanese who
made overseas travels soared and this is also true for the
Australia visiting travelers from Japan.

As can be seen from the illustration, around 5 million Japanese

citizens travelled different countries in 1985 which kept on
increasing each year except in 1991. From approximately 7
million tourists in 1987, it went as high as 12 million in just 6
years. Finally, in 1995, around 15 million Japanese toured foreign
countries which was three times higher than that of a decade
earlier.

The line graph shows that 2% Japanese tourists reached Australia

in 1985 and with a steady increase this figure went as high as
roughly 5% in 1988. The next year the ratio slightly dipped but
went higher each year in the subsequent years. Australia received
more than 6% Japanese travellers in 1993, the highest, which
stood at exactly 6% in 1994. 
 

Sample Answer 2:
The supplied graphs compare the number of Japanese tourists
who travelled different countries from 1985 to 1995 and it also
give data on Australia's portion of the Japanese visitors.

According to the first bar graph, the number of Japanese tourists

visited abroad had increased in each year except for 1991.
Initially, in 1985, around 5 million tourists from Japan travelled
abroad and after a decade this number more than trebled. About
2 million Japanese tourists went to Australia in 1985. From 1985
till 1988, the number of Japanese tourists in Australia increased
sharply. Beginning from 2 million tourists in 1985, it reached to
around 5 million in 1988. In 1989, the number fell slightly but
from 90 to 94, the number went up. However, in 1994 the
number of people who went to Australia decreased a bit.

The two graphs represent the steady increase of total Japanese tourists travelling different
countries as well as the number of tourists visiting Australia in Particular.
 

Sample Answer 3:
The charts present data on the number of Japanese
holidaymakers who travelled overseas over 11 years, from 1985
to 1995, and the percentage of Japanese tourist market for
Australia. It is evident from the graphs that more Japanese
toured overseas during this period and the number of Australia
visiting travellers soared.

As the illustration suggests, from 5 million holidaymakers in 1985,

the number of Japan's travellers experienced an exponential
growth to somewhere in the vicinity of 11 million in 1990 before
decreasing slightly in 1991. Furthermore, its rate soared again
from almost 12 millions in 1992 to just over 14 millions in 1995.
Moreover, from a negligible 2 percent in 1985, the percentage of
Japan's tourist market rose gradually approximately 5 percent
before falling back to somewhere 4.5 percent in 1990. In
addition, its percentage reached a peak more than 6 percent in
1994 and fell back to 6 percent in 1995. It is evident that more
Japanese travelled Australia in later years that they did in early
years and the growth was steady.
 Sample Answer 4:
The graphs describe the number of tourists from Japan who
visited different countries and the proportion of Japanese visitors
visiting Australia in one decade. As can be seen vividly, the
number of tourists, both total and in percentage, visiting Australia
increased significantly throughout the decade.

Starting from 1985, the number of Japanese tourists tripled from

5 millions to mostly 15 millions in 1995. However, the static
increase stopped from 1990 to 1991 with a slight fall by
approximately 200,000 visitors. Apart from that, the improvement
of travellers travelling to Australia occurs with a small decrease
from 1998 to 1990. It is also unique that in 1989 and 1991 the
percentage stood at the same level, 5% of the total.
Furthermore, Japanese visitors to Australia reached a peak in
1994 as much as 6.2% of total tourists.

In addition, from 1994 to 1995, the number of tourists reached a

peak but the percentage of Japanese tourists travelling to
Australia had a steady decrease.

    
 Sample Answer 5:
Given are two charts providing a comparison of Japanese tourists
travelling abroad between 1985 and 1995, as well as the certain
percentages of Japanese tourist visiting  Australia.

It can be inferred from the illustration that the number of

Japanese tourists travelling abroad climbed steadily from 5
millions people in 1985 to approximately 11 millions in 1990. But
in 1991, the Japanese travellers decrease steadily to 10.5
millions. Before soaring to a staggering 15 millions in 1995, the
number of travellers remained stable between 1992 and 1994
with 13 million travellers.

It is also interesting to note that only 2 percent out of 5 million

travellers in 1985 went to Australia. The percentages of the
Japanese tourists in Australi went up steadily to 5 percent from
9.5 million in 1989. However, in 1990, the percentages slipped to
approximately 4.2 percent. By far the highest percentages of
Japanese visited Australia in 1994 with 6.2 percent from 13.5
million people, by contrast in last year, the percentages dropped
steadily to 6 percent out of 15 million travellers.

Sample Answer 6:
The provided bar graph depicts the number of Japanese travellers
who visited foreign countries from 1985 to 1995, whereas the line
graph gives information on the market share of Australia on
Japan’s tourism sector.

As is presented in the bar graph, in 1985, about 5 million people

from Japan travelled abroad. Interestingly, this figure was tripled
by the end of next decade (15million in 19995). During this
period the trend of Japanese tourers travelling abroad increased
up to the year 1990. Then, in 1991 this number was slightly
reduced and after that, a gradual increase was observed until
1995.

As can be seen vividly, in 1985, Australia’s share remained 2 percent of Japanese tourists.
Furthermore, a gradual increase was observed until 1988. But in 1989, this percentage reduced
slightly and after that again increment in share was observed and this trend lasted till 1993 and
that time Australia’s share was beyond 6 percent. Eventually, the percentage became equal to 6
in 1994.

Japanese tourist travelled abroad throughout the decade and in same decade Australia’s share of
Japanese tourists also increased.
