The graph below gives information about the price of bananas in four countries between 1994 and 2004. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph plots the price variations of bananas in Japan, France, Germany, and the USA from 1994 to 2004.
Overall, The price of bananas exhibited minor variations in Germany and the USA, while both Japan and the USA experienced an upswing in banana prices during the given period. Notably, Japan had the highest price per kilogram of bananas, while the USA offered the most affordable prices.
In 1994, the price of bananas per kilogram was highest in Japan at nearly $2, followed by Germany and France at approximately $1.5, whereas bananas in the US were sold at a mere $0.7. However, a substantial decline in banana prices occurred in Japan in 2001, plummeting to $1.5, while France had a modest increase to $1.7. In contrast, the trend for the US and Germany varied minimally, ranging between around $1.1 and $1.3.
Interestingly, a surge in banana prices was recorded in Japan, reaching 2.5 in 2004, whereas France underwent a sharp decrease to $1 in 2003 before rebounding to $1.5 in the final year. Conversely, the curves for the US and Germany remained relatively constant, in line with previous years

I hope this illustration is useful for you.
It shows you how to use the word "trend".
The first graph shows the trends in rising mean sea levels, in both the northern and southern hemisphere. The seasonal fluctuations are very obvious..
The second graph show changes in trends. The first one has a trend reversal, going from decreasing to increasing.
The third graph depicts a time span in which there is not trend at all, only jitter in the data. However, that changes to a rising trend in the last 18 months.

Thank you so so much!
May you give a sample answer for this one. I really appreciate that!!
I have an essay task 2 that has not been corrected yet.
Hope to receive your feedback.
Sample essay:
The graph compares the price of bananas in US dollars/kg in four countries (Japan, France, Germany, and the US) from 1994 to 2004.
Overall, the prices in Germany and the US remained in a relatively narrow range, but there were larger swings for the other two. Except for two years, 2001 and 2003, the prices were the highest in Japan, followed by France, Germany and the USA.
In detail, in 1994 a kilogram of bananas cost about $1.90 in Japan, followed by $1.70 in France, $1.40 in Germany and $0.90 in the US. This relative ranking would persist until 2001, when Japan's prices fell a bit lower than France's. The curve for Japan showed the greatest instability; it rose to a peak of $2.90 in 1995 and hit a low of $1.60 in 2001. In contrast, prices in the US never went above $1.30. Prices in Germany were consistently higher than in the US; varying between $1.30 and $1.50. And in France, they exceeded those in Germany, with one exception. In 2003, it was the lowest of all four, at $1.00.
Could you explain the word: "large swings" for me. It has the same meaning as "upswing trend". Is that right?

Thanks to your feedback, I have learnt a lot of nice words that I have never known to use before and no one teaches me that.
For example, I learned the phrased " the relative ranking would persist". But I wonder, why "ranking" not "rank" because "rank" is also a noun.

The pattern of "swing" is different from fluctuation.
Swings do not happen very often and they are high in amplitude. Fluctuations are much more frequent and low in amplitude.
Rank means a position at one point in time. For example, Debbie ranked third in the spelling context.
Ranking, on the other hand, has a "verbal" quality, so is used in a context with multiple time values.
