The Trend of vehicle traffic in a metro, in millions, for all the 12 months of an year is detailed in the line graph.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph portrays an interesting study of the general trend observed in traffic in a metro, over all the twelve months of an year.
Apparently, traffic throughout the year fluctuates widely. While the month of May finds optimum traffic, April and August records the least.
Traffic during the first month of the year has a boost from 300 million to 350 million vehicles. Over the two months that follow, a sharp decline is seen, first steeply and then rather more slowly, ending at one of the lowest figures of 150 millions, in April. The next month experiences the greatest boom of the year. Traffic shoots up sharply from 150 to 400 million vehicles in May. This, however, is followed immediately by a more or less equally sharp fall of 200 million. An increment of 50 million in June finds another sharp fall to 150 million in August, September and October witness a hike in the number to 300 million. While November has a decrease, December has a hike of the same number, 50 million.
Overall, traffic in the metro keeps fluctuating throughout the year, between 150 and 400 million vehicles.
