This line graph shows carbon dioxide emissions per person among four countries, covering the period from 1967 to 2007. Overall, it is clear to see that the United Kingdom had the largest/ greatest/highest CO2 emissions, followed by a steep dip, whereas there was a significant growth in Sweden before dropping dramatically. However, there were steady increases in Italy and Portugal.

@DAN770320 Hello! Welcome here. We appreciate new people coming in all the time. Next time, however, it would be great if you could include a photo of the graph to help evaluators and fellow learners have a better idea of what you're analyzing.
Generally, I appreciate how you write. You have quite a smoother transition between sentences, making it easier to comprehend a good chunk of your content. What I do find baffling, however, is how you over extend your sentences, stretching them out too thin at times. If we take a look at the second paragraph's first sentence, this should have been sub-divided into two to three more portions given how much information is stuck here.
