The line graph compares 4 European nations in terms of the average carbon dioxide emissions over the period from 1967 to 2007.
It is noticeable that the UK was responsible for the highest level of CO2 emissions. Moreover, a downward trend can be observed in emissions from Sweden throughout the period.

From 1967 to 1977, the amount of CO2 emissions in the UK remained unchanged, at around 11 metric tonnes per person. During the same period, an upward trend can be seen in 3 other countries: Sweden Italy and Portugal, with an increase to about 10.5 tonnes, 6.5 tonnes and 2.5 tonnes respectively.

Try to work on a more comprehensive summary. At least outline the names of the countries provided and the measurement used. These information can help the reader better understand and follow the report you are presenting. You should use the proper summary outline to help you gain a better TA score. While your presentation is acceptable, it could have been better.

The last 2 sentences of the first paragraph and the second paragraph presentation both follow the trending statement format. One of these have to change to a report format. You can only have one trending statement in the essay. It should not be located within 2 paragraphs.

@Holt I have rewritten my general trend paragraph. Could you check it for me whether it is good or not. Thank you so much!
