INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The line graph compares the amount of CO2 released by each person in four countries over a 40 year period.

As can be seen, among all listed nations,
UK by far produced the largest CO2
emission.
Additionally, while UK and Sweden
citizens emitted less CO2 over the period
shown, an opposite pattern was shown in
Italy and Portugal

MAIN BODY 1
In 1967, an average UK person discharged 11 metric tonnes of CO2 which was 3 metric tonnes higher than equivalent figure of Sweden. Meanwhile, Italy people were responsible for 4.5 metric tonnes of CO2 tripling the amount of Portugal. Over the next decade, there were gradual increases of around 2 metric tonnes of CO2 emission in Sweden, Italy and Portugal as opposed to UK where CO2 discharged had reached a plateau.
UNIT 2: FREE TIME
BODY 2
From that time onwards, each citizen in the UK took responsibility for less CO2 than before, with its figure being on a gradual decrease to under 9 tonnes in 2007. Similarly, after a minimal rise of about 1 tonne in the first decade, the amount of CO2 emitted in Sweden fell steadily to roughly 5 tonnes at the end of the period. (8) In contrast, the other nations witnessed a sustained increase in CO2 emissions to nearly 6 and 8 tonnes in Portugal and Italy in 2007, respectively.
