The graph below shows the daily consumption of three spreads per person from 1981 to 2007 in a country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The line graph illustrates average carbon (CO2)

emissions

per person in various countries (The

UK

, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal) which were emitted over four decades from 1967 to 2007. Units are measured in metric

tonnes

.

Overall

, it is obvious that the CO2

emissions

in the

UK

and Sweden decreased slowly over the period given,

while

for Italy and Portugal , they rose slightly .The

UK

had the highest

emissions

of CO2 over the period of 40 years. With regards to the amount of CO2

emissions

in the

UK

, it started at around 11 metric

tonnes

and

then

gradually declined to nearly 8 metric

tonnes

in the

last

year.

Likewise

, in Sweden, it began at about 8 metric

tonnes

after which it touched the highest point in 1977 before falling dramatically to just under 6 metric

tonnes

in the final year. On the other hand, the

emissions

of CO2 in Italy

,

began at a little more than 4 metric

tonnes

and it

then

increased significantly to less than 8 metric

tonnes

in 1997 and remained the same until 2007.

Similarly

, in Portugal, its C02

emissions

started at less than 2 metric

tonnes

and continued to climb reaching the highest point of 5 metric

tonnes

at the end

of the period.
