Map  \nNow, this number seems big, but fortunately the vocabulary you need to learn falls in only four categories.  \n1. Line graph vocabulary also called the time graph vocabulary.  \n2. Percentage vocabulary.  \n3. Process vocabulary.  \n4. Maps vocabulary.  \nHow to write a graph?  \nIntroduction:  \nYou need only one or two sentences describing the following:  \nThe type of graph you are describing, the title of the graph, date of the graph and scale. You need not have all this information but you should report what you have.  \nBody:  \nWhat you need to do is to describe factually the graph. No specialized knowledge of your own is needed nor your opinion.  \nYou do not need to analyze the data, for example you need not give the reason for why figures are high or low. Sometimes, when there is more than one graph, there is relationship between the two, and you can bring in some comparison between them but going beyond this is not necessary.  \nEnding:  \nYou need not write a long and analytical conclusion. The introduction and the ending should be more or less the same.  \n1. The line or time graph vocabulary  \nAll graphs which show changes over time - whether they are line graphs or bar graphs or a table need this vocabulary. All line graphs are time graphs but all time graphs are not line graphs.  \nUseful language:  \nGo down   \nGo up   \nNo change ~~ ~~  \nFluctuation-fluctuated  \nPeaked at OR reached a high of  \nDipped OR reached a low of  \n\n| 1. decreased\u003Cbr>2. fell\u003Cbr>3. dropped\u003Cbr>4. declined\u003Cbr>5. came down |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1. increased |  |  |\n| 2. rose |  |  |\n| 3. climbed |  |  |\n| 4. grew |  |  |\n| 5. went up |  |  |\n| 6. escalated |  |  |\n| 1. remained stable\u003Cbr>2. levelled off\u003Cbr>3. stabilized\u003Cbr>4. remained the same |  |  |\n\nSmall change  \nLarge change  \nMedium change  \n1. slightly  \n2. slowly  \n3. minimally  \n1. sharply  \n2. rapidly  \n3. dramatically  \n4. significantly  \n5. considerably  \n6. substantially  \n1. moderately  \n2. modestly  \nTIME PHRASES  \nIt is important that you know how to use the common expressions of time.  \nHere are the common ones:  \n􀁸 In :  \nA. In 2000  \nB. In the 20th century  \nC. In the first ten years...  \n􀁸 For :  \nA. For the first six months...  \nB. For twenty years...  \n􀁸 During :  \nA. During the first six months...  \nB. During the first half of this century...  \nC. During the remainder of the year...  \n􀁸 From- to  \nA. From September to November...  \nB. From 2000 to 2005    \n􀁸 Between- and  \nA. Between 1960 and 1970...  \n􀁸 Stood at / started at / finished at  \nNote that you can refer to a decade as the 1980s etc. There is no apostrophe before the s.  \n\n| sales of laptop 1995 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 120\u003Cbr>100\u003Cbr>80\u003Cbr>60\u003Cbr>40\u003Cbr>20\u003Cbr>0 | sales of laptop 1995\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>January February March April |\n\nTwo sentences to remember  \nFrom January to February, sales increased slightly.  \nFrom January to February, there was a slight increase in sales.  \nThe above two sentences are foolproof sentences to get your sentence structuring right in the IELTS line graphs. Of course you must make these sentences longer by adding data and also make changes to words like January according to your graph ( For e.g. there may be years in the graph you get) but the basic structure of sentence remains the same. When you use the adjective noun combination then the three words “there was an” always precedes the combination.  \nTalking about combinations - Onlytwo types of word combinations can be used in the time graphs – The adjective noun OR the verb adverb. You must learn the relevant vocabulary by making a table like the one given below:-  \n\n| Verb | Adverb | Adjective | Noun |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| increased | slightly | slight | increase |\n| rose | rapidly | rapid | rise |\n| decreased | moderately | moderate | decrease |\n| grew |","cbCaikDGVf505BOy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikDGVf505BOy","pdf",630504,"English","# Line Graph\n## Useful language and comparisons\n# Bar Chart / Column Graph\n# Pie Chart\n# Table\n# Multiple Charts\n# Process or Cycle\n# Describing Objects\n# Map\n# How to Write a Graph\n## Introduction\n## Body\n## Ending\n# Key Vocabulary Categories\n## Line graph (time graph) vocabulary\n## Percentage vocabulary\n## Process vocabulary\n## Maps vocabulary\n# Using the Right Tenses\n# Time Phrases","[{\"question\":\"What language and tenses are recommended for describing changes over time and percentages?\",\"answer\":\"For time graphs, use vocabulary such as go down/go up, peaked at, dipped to, and fluctuation terms, plus small/medium/large change qualifiers.
