The line graph illustrates the rate of four distinct recycled materials (paper and cardboard, glass containers, alumininium cans and plastics) over the course of 28 years starting in 1982.

Looking at the graph, it is immediately obvious that while the proportion of glass containers witnessed a downward trend before rising in early 1990s, the figure for paper and cardboard fluctuated before consistently falling. Also, the percentage of Aluminium cans and plastics saw an increase between 1986 and 2010. At the end of the surveyed period, paper and cardboard registered the highest recycling rate out of four sectors examined.

In 1982, the rate of paper and cardboard was about 65%. This figure fluctuated in the range 60 and 80% before gradually decreasing to 70% by the end of the period. Meanwhile, the proportion of glass containers dropped from 50% to 40% between 1982 and 1990 before progressively increasing to 60% in 2010.

In 1986, the percentage of Alumininium cans stood at nearly 5%. This figure saw a noticeable increase to approximately 45% in 2010. Plastics' rate also grew marginally from about 5% in 1990 to nearly 10% by the end of the examined period.

The line graph illustrates the rate of four distinct recycled materials namely paper and cardboard, glass containers, alumininium cans and plastics over the course of 28 years starting in 1982.

Looking at the graph, it is (immediately) obvious that while the proportion of glass containers witnessed a downward trend before rose in the early 1990s, the figure for/of paper and cardboard fluctuated before consistently fell. Also, the percentages of Aluminium cans and plastics saw an increase between 1986 and 2010. At the end of the surveyed period, paper and cardboard registered the highest recycling rate out of four sectors examined.

In 1982, the rate of paper and cardboard was about 65%. This figure fluctuated in the range of 60 and 80% before gradually decreased down to 70% by the end of the period. Meanwhile, the proportion of glass containers dropped from 50% to 40% between 1982 and 1990 before progressively increased to 60% in 2010.

In 1986, the percentage of Alumininium cans stood at nearly 5%. This figure saw a noticeable increase to approximately 45% in 2010. Plastics' rate also grew marginally from about 5% in 1990 to nearly 10% by the end of the examined period.

Opinion:

Some words were repeated over and over throughout the whole essay. You should trynna find some more synonyms for words like increase and decrease

increase = level up, climb, move upward, grow,......

Decrease = level off, drop move downward, fall, plummet,.......

You wrote this really beautifully tbh

7.0 - 8.0 level
