Sample answer
The line graph illustrates the ratio between urban and rural population in Fantasia over a 60-year period from 1950 to 2010. Overall, the ratio of urban population went up continuously, while the rural population ratio experienced a steady fall.
In 1950,75% of the population lived in rural areas compared to only 25% of urban dwellers at the time. The next 30-year period saw some changes in the trend with more people (around 45%) living in urban areas and fewer people (less than 60%) living in rural areas.
Towards the end of the period, the trend was totally reversed. In 2010, around 75% of the population lived in urban areas, whereas just merely 25% still lived in rural areas.
In summary, as time went by, more and more people chose the city over rural areas to settle down.
