How To Write An Overview
The overview paragraph for any graph description should briefly
outline the main trends and features of the graph without going into too
many specific details. Use these ideas to form two or three sentences. State
the information by simply using synonyms wherever possible.
Sample Overview:

in person and by telephone increased during this time, while the number of
enquiries made by email decreased.
 
How To Write The Main Body Paragraphs
In the Main Body Paragraphs, you will give details about the main
events mentioned in paragraph 2. When giving specific details, you have
to write exact numbers/percentages and include as much information as
possible.
Remember to compare and contrast data as well.
If the exact numbers are hard to read because the graph doesn’t
clearly provide them, you can use words like 
around, about, just over, just
under, 
and 
approximately
.
Try not to use overly complicated vocabulary or grammar structures
as this can increase the chance of errors.
Use the appropriate words and correct verb tenses.
Sample Main Body Paragraphs:
According to what is shown in the graph, in-person enquiries rose
sharply from around 400 to 1900, while enquiries made by telephone
showed a more gradual increase. Initially, telephone enquiries declined
slightly from 900 to 800 enquiries, before increasing to 1000 in the third
month. The ratio remained at this level for the month of April and then
increased substantially in May and June to reach 1600 enquiries by the
end of the period.
In contrast, enquiries by email showed an opposite trend, steadily
declining from around 800 to around 400 enquiries over the 6-month
period.
