Version 1
The line graph shows variations in weekly consumption of fish and three
types of meat in one European country from 1979 to 2004. Overall,
people ate fish in relatively lower quantities compared to other kinds of
meat. While chicken consumption was the only type of meat which
experienced an upward trend, beef and lamb witnessed the opposite
trend in the period given.
In 1979, beef was the dominant food with just over 200 grams of
consumption every week. After reaching its peak at around 250 grams,
by 2004 beef consumption had steadily decreased to just over 100
grams per week. Lamb saw a similar downtrend, falling from initial
second highest (at 150 grams) to just over 50 grams of weekly intake.
In contrast, at the beginning, weekly consumption of chicken stood at
just below 150 grams. From 1979 onwards, it steadily increased,
exceeding all previous rates and reaching a high of 250 grams a week,
although this peak was not maintained. Fish was eaten the least,
beginning at around 60 grams and then dropping to below 50 grams at
the end of the period.
Version 2
The line graph compares how much fish and three types of meat was
eaten in one European country from 1979 to 2004.Overall, while chicken
saw an upward trend in its consumption, beef and lamb experienced the
opposite trend. However fish consumption didn’t witness any big
changes over the period given.
In 1979, although chicken was consumed relatively lower in
quantities(below 150 grams per week) than other types of meat, it saw a
steady increase to just below 250 grams per week, becoming the most
consumed type of meat in 2004.
Beef and lamb, being the top 2 most consumed kinds of meat in 1979,
dramatically decreased from over 200 and 150 to below 150 and 100
grams, respectively. Over the 25 year period, fish consumption almost
had no big changes and maintained its position as the least eaten type of
meat
