Between 1980 and 2000, waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and rising trends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste output increased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw waste totals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively.
Sample The chart compares the amounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990 and 2000.
In each of these years, the US produced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined. It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduce its waste output by the year 2000.
A few things to consider before you write your essay: 1. Can you think of a few alternative ways to write “waste production”? 2. What is the most noticeable feature of the table? 3. Is there a general trend over the period of time shown? 4. How can you separate the information into 2 groups (in order to write 2 paragraphs about specific details)?

4. How can you separate the information into 2 groups (in order to write 2 paragraphs about specific details)?
Group 1: US Group 2: Ireland, Poland, Portugal
Correcting In 1980,the US produced 131 millions
of tonnes of waste. Japan was in second place with 28 millions, while the figures for Poland, Portugal and Ireland were less than 5 millions. In 1990, the US was 151, and in 2000 it rose to 192 millions.
The US produced by far the most waste in all 3 years.
3. Is there a general trend over the period of time shown?
Waste production rose in every country apart from Korea.
Sample
The trends for Ireland and Korea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, waste production increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast, cut its waste output by 12 million tonnes between 1990 and 2000.
