The line graph below shows the changes in the share price of Outokumpu companies in euros between January 2006 and December 2010. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information below.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Given is the graph illustrates the changes in the share price of Outokumpu in a five-year period between 2006 and 2010.
Overall, the price saw a general fluctuation in the share price through the whole graph. However, the price of the first three years was much higher than the price of the remaining months and the figure in early 2007 is the highest share price for the period.
At the beginning of the graph, there were several fluctuations till late 2006 before there was a sharp increase from about 21€ per share to approximately 31€ per share and this is also the peak of the whole graph. This price only lasted for a very short time then it fell rapidly to 22€ per share before rising strongly again in 2008.
From the mid of 2008, there was a dramatic decline to the lowest point at about 8€ per share. After that, the share price had a significant variation until it reached a peak at nearly 17€ per share in 2010 and finally end up at just over 12€ per share at the end of the year.
