IELTS Task 1: UK telephone calls - number of mins

THE CHART BELOW SHOWS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MINUTES (IN BILLIONS) OF TELEPHONE CALLS IN THE UK, DIVIDED INTO THREE CATEGORIES FROM 1995-2002.

The bar chart compares the overall amount of minutes of UK telephone calls, by three categories between 1995 and 2002.

It is clear that local-fixed line was by far the most used telephone call type. It is also noticeable that although mobile calls increased dramaticly for the last 4-year period, it was fewest used type.

In 1995, more than 70 billion minutes were used to make a call in local - fixed line, whereas, national and international, and mobiles were used about 38 billion and only less than 4 billion minutes. Between the years of 1995 and 1998, mobile calls increased steadily from lowest point to around 9 billion minutes. the following years, this type rose rapidly from 13 billion to 45 billion minutes over the 4-year period.

Clearly, national and international -fixed line type increased steadily from the beginning 1995 to the end of the year 2002. By contrast, local -fixed line increased gradually to the highest point 90 billion minutes by 1999. However, during again the 4- year period, you can see a little by little fall in local -fixed line from peaking point to lowest around 72 billion minutes.

I think this sentence sounds unnatural. Minutes are not used to make phone calls.
In 1995, the total number of minutes of local-fixed lines was the highest with 70 billion.
