SAMPLE
The given line chart illustrates the daily amount of oil consumed by four regions between 2009
and 2030.

consumption reached a peak at around 10 million barrels, it is expected that this figure will
decrease significantly to just over 6 million barrels in 2030
In addition, before falling to about 3.5 million in 2030, the number of oil barrels consumed in China
will double in 2025, which makes this country become the second biggest oil consumer. At the

The diagram illustrates the overview of the recycling process of used bottles. It is clear
that there are three distinct stages in this process, from bottle collection to the delivery of
new ones to customers.
At the beginning of the process, bottles with different shapes and colors are gathered at
the collection point. These containers are then transported to a plant in which they will be
washed by high pressurized water. After that, these clean bottles will be sorted according
to their colors which are brown, green or clear.
These sorted bottles will be brought to a recycling plant where they will be put in a furnace
to produce molten recycled glass. At the following stage, this liquid will be mixed with new
liquid glass. This mixture can be shaped in a tool called mould to make new bottles.
Finally, these end products are delivered to supermarkets to serve customers.
