the graph below shows the number of shops that closed and the number oof new shops that opened in one country between 2011 and 2018.

The given line graph compares the

number

of closing and openings of

shops

in a particular country during an eight years period starting from 2011 to 2018.

, despite the fluctuations happening during the given time the

number

of closures and openings decreased by 2018.

To begin

with, about 8500

shops

were opened in 2011 but

this

number

fell to half by 2012 and after

number

of openings. At the starting point, in that specific country there were about 6500

shops

closed, after that by reaching 2012 the graph decreased to 6000

shops

and

then

peaked at about 7000

shops

closing in 2013. In 2013, the rate of

shops

closure was almost identical to the begging point and a considerable fall in 2015 reaching the point of fewer than 1000 shop closures.
