You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The line chart illustrates the amount of four different types of meat and

fish

consumed in a European nation from 1979 to 2004.

Overall

,

it is clear that

only the

intake

of

chicken

consistently increased throughout the 25 years, and it became the most consumed livestock.

In contrast

, the

intake

of

fish

remained the least significant throughout the period. In 1979, beef was the most consumed meat in the country, with an average of 220

grams

per person every week. Meanwhile, every individual only bought approximately 145g of

chicken

weekly, which was even lower than lamb(150

grams

), and

fish

consumption was a negligible amount, accounting for 55

grams

per capita weekly.

However

, the

intake

of

chicken

overtook that of lamb and beef in 1989. The

intake

of beef experienced a surge in the first five years, reaching a peak of 245

grams

each person per week.

However

, it continuously fell to only 110g over the rest of the period.

On the other hand

, both lamb and

fish

consumption followed a descending trend over the whole period, which fell from 150g to 60 and from 55g to 50

grams

respectively in 2004. Undoubtedly, the most obvious trend between 1979 and 2002 is the dramatic rise in

chicken

consumption, reaching a peak of 255

grams

per capita per week.
