    The following guide gives you an idea of the amount you are expected to write and an idea of suggested timings
    for writing this kind of task.
    Sample Answer

    The graph shows the page views for jamesabela.co.uk in 2007 for the months of March and April.

    The highest peak is on 2nd March when page views reach nearly 1300 and the lowest number of page
    views is on 6th April when there are just over 400 views. In the first third of the month March's figures
    are considerably higher than April's, but the two figures become much closer for two days on the 8th
    and then April figures reach their first peak. Both sets of figures continue to fluctuate until the 18th
    when March's figures begin a steady decline, while April's figures sky-rocket, crash and climb steeply
    again. On the 23rd April's figures reach their final peak, which March's figures reach a plateau on the
    28th. Interestingly on the 30th they meet again.

    Overall this graph shows wild fluctuations, but generally within the 800 to 600 views range.
