Complete Sample Answer:
The line graph shows the amount of foreign tourists visiting New Zealand in the year
2000, measured in thousands of people. The graph is divided into twelve months. 
Overall, the number of tourists was highest in July and lowest in December and January.
In January, the number of tourists was around one thousand for the month, then
increased slightly throughout February, reaching around three thousand in March. By
April, the number of tourists visiting New Zealand had risen to five thousand and
continued to increase gradually in May and June, when it reached approximately seven
thousand. From there, the number of tourists increased dramatically, reaching a peak in
July at around twelve thousand tourists, the highest number of any month shown. After
July, the number of tourists decreased to just over ten thousand in August. By
September, the number of tourists had increased again slightly to around eleven
thousand, but then began to decrease again after September. Tourist numbers declined
markedly in October to around seven thousand, then increasing to eight thousand in
November. Between November and December, the number of tourists visiting New
Zealand decreased significantly to around two thousand by the end of the year.
