Portfolio task 5

        

The line graph shows the number of annual visits to Australian form 1975 to 2005 by overseas residents. The table presents the places that those visitors come from. In this essay I will describe the important information.

         The overall trend in the line graph is that the number of the visitors was increasing dramatically. For example, from 1975 to 2005 the number of visitors was increasing each 10 years by 8 million presents in 2005 while it was 8million persons in 1975.

        Turning to the table, Japan had the highest numbers of visitors to Australia from 1975 to 2005 and the number increased from 3.2 to 12 million visitors. The next country was South Korea where the number of visitors tripled from 2.9 to 9.1 million. Then came Europe, Britain and the U.S.A and number increased by almost four times more in 2005 than 1975. The lowest number of visitors was for Chine with 0.8 million visitors in 2005.

         To sum up, we can figure that both the line graph and the table are connected together because they both talk about visitors to Australia .
