Welcome back. In this video, I'll show you which vocabulary to use if you're describing a trend graph on your task one essay. So just to remind you, this is what a trend graph looks like. You can have a trend graph as a line graph, as a bar graph, or as a table. So if you remember, we have a trend graph whenever we have changes that are being described over a certain period of time. So this video will only focus on the vocabulary that you need for describing such trend graphs.

So when you have a trend graph, these are the types of changes that are going to see. So in this image, we have a line graph. However, I want you to note that even if you have a table or a bar graph, you will notice similar types of changes. So basically, you're going to have any of these seven different types of changes. So you may have a data set Where the measurements are increasing, the data might experience a big increase, or maybe the data remains constant. It is also possible that the data might decrease, or you may see a big decrease.

You may also notice that sometimes the graph undergoes a decrease, but then it improves again. Lastly, the data that you see might go up and down. This is known as a fluctuation. So there are particular vocabulary words that you can use to describe each of these different types of changes. So let's take a look at those vocabulary words. So first we have increase.

If you have an infographic where the data is increasing, then you can use any of these words listed here. Such as rise, climb, elevate. Notice that here we have a verb, and in the parentheses, we have the noun, okay? So here's the verb form of the Word and here's the noun form of the word. So for example, if you have an infographic where the data is increasing, you could say something like banana sales grew in 1990. You can also use the noun form of the word so you can say, banana sales experienced a growth in 1990.

Okay, so you can describe this data in both ways. You can use a verb to describe it or a noun to describe it. Next, you may have a big increase, if you have a big increase, then you can use any of these words here, such as Trump, surge, double and so on. Here we have the verb and here we have the noun. So you may say something like, computer sales doubled in 1990. Or you can say computer sales experienced a doubling in 1990.

Next, you may have a decrease. So if the data is decreasing You can use any of these words here, such as fall drop, decline. Here's the verb and here's the noun. So you may say something like, computer sales dropped by 10%. You can also use the noun form. So you can say computer sales experienced a 10% drop.

Next, it's possible that the data might experience a big decrease. In such a case, you can use these words plummet or a plummet, tumble or a tumble, and so on. So you can say something like, banana sales plummeted in 1990. Or you can say, banana sales experienced or plummet in 1990. Next, it's possible that the data might remain stable over certain periods of time. So in these cases, you can use these words such as stabilize or stabilization.

Level off or leveling off. so on. So you could say, banana sales leveled off in 1990. Or you can use this phrase as a noun. So, you can say, banana sales experienced a leveling off in 1990. Now, if the data is decreasing, but then it starts to improve, then you can use these words to describe this type of change.

You may say something like mobile sales recovered in 1990, or mobile sales experienced a recovery in 1990. Finally, if the data is moving up and down, up and down, then we call this a fluctuation. So you can say banana sales fluctuated in 1990, or banana sales experienced a fluctuation in 1990. So these are all the different ways in which you can describe the different types of changes. You can describe the types of changes using the verbs or using the noun Now let's look at the quality of change. When we're talking about the quality of change, we're mainly talking about adverbs and adjectives.

So let's take a look. So sometimes, there may be a slow change in your data, whereas other times, there may be a very fast or surprising change in the data. It's also possible that there may be a steady change in the data, or steady change means that the data is increasing at a steady rate. Or it's possible that the data might be decreasing at a steady rate. It is also possible that the data remains constant at a steady rate, meaning that it does not go up or down. On the other hand, you can have small changes, medium changes, or big changes.

So let's explore the different adjectives and adverbs that we use to describe these different qualities of changes. All right, so here we are. If you have a fast change, then you can use adjectives like rapid, sharp, quick, steep, or Swift. You can also use adverbs like rapidly, sharply, quickly, steeply and swiftly. So if you're writing a sentence, you could say something like, there was a sharp rise in computer sales in 1990. Or you can also use artwork to describe the change.

You can say computer sales sharply increased in 1990. If you have a surprising change, okay, an unexpected change. Then you can use adjectives like sudden, striking, abrupt, or adverbs, like strikingly and abruptly. So if you're writing a sentence in which you're describing a surprising change, you may say something like, there was an abrupt rise in banana sales in 1994 you Say, banana sales abruptly increased in 1990. So you can describe the quality of changes using the adjectives or the adverbs. Similarly, you can use these adjectives here.

And these adverbs here to describe these different qualities have changed, including a slow change, a steady change, a small change, a medium change, and a big change. So what you need to do on your task one essay is really quite simple. All you need to do is mix and match different adjectives and nouns. So let me give you an example. So here we have our opening phrase. Here we have some adjectives.

Here we have the nouns. And here we have the measurement of the data. So all you need to do is mix and match these different columns. So here's an example. So you can say there was a significant growth in the price of cars. Notice that to construct this sentence, all we've done is used different words and phrases from different columns.

And we've just mixed and matched these different adjectives and nouns. So that's all you need to do. Depending on what kind of data you have. All you have to do is choose advocates from this side and match them with nouns from this side. So if there's a marginal increase, then you can say that there was a marginal increase. If there was a gradual decrease, you can say there was a gradual decrease.

Now let's look at another example of this. You can do the same thing with adverbs and verbs. So here we have our opening phrase. Here we have our list of adverbs. Here we have the verbs, and here we have the data points that we're describing. So again, we're just mixing and matching the different columns.

So we can construct a sentence like this The population marginally declined from 120 thousand to 118,200. So notice, we've used the opening phrase from this column, we've used the adverb from this column. We've used the verb from this column. And we've chosen to describe the data points in this manner. So when you're describing these trend graphs, you just need to mix and match adverbs and verbs, and adjectives and nouns. So that's all for this video.

In the next video, I'll be taking you through the different vocabulary words that you need to know for describing comparative graphs. So I'll see you there
