The graph illustrates the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014.
Overall, there are three types of metals discussed in this essay: copper, nickel, and zinc. The graph depicts the price trends of these three metals, with nickel experiencing significant declines, followed by zinc, and copper.
Nickel experienced a drastic price drop in June 2014, then rose again in July, remaining stable until September, although experiencing a decline the following month. However, nickel prices actually increased from November to December.
The next metal is zinc. Zinc was at its highest price in February. Even so, zinc experienced a drastic price decline in June, similar to nickel, before rising in the following months until December. Finally, copper did not experience a drastic price decline or increase. The graph shows a price drop from 0.5% in April to -1.5% in May. However, copper rose in price in the following month and remained stable.
my text. and i dont know why my band is only 7.0, even though there are no gram mistakes
The provided line graph illustrates the monthly percentage change of the overall prices of three metals (copper, nickel, and zinc) throughout the year 2014.
Overall, it can be seen that nickel started with the highest percentage change. All three metals eventually converged at a similar growth rate by the end of the year, although they had fluctuated significantly in the interim.
In detail, the first metal to consider is nickel. At the beginning of the period, it demonstrated the highest percentage change, standing at 6%. From January to March, the percentage change in nickel dropped sharply to 1%, a decrease of 5%. Afterwards, the decline continued at a much slower rate, reaching approximately 0.5%. Then, it fell rapidly once again to its lowest point of about -3% by June. Subsequently, the percentage recovered to -1% by July. In the next three months, the figure remained stable. The rate of change dipped slightly by 1% between September and October. In the subsequent month, the figure climbed from -2% to 1% and remained at this level until the end of the period.
As far as copper is concerned, it stood at 2% at the beginning of the period. Thereafter, the percentage declined moderately to -0.5% by May. From May to June, it remained unchanged, before rising to 1% by the end of July. Following this, the figure was maintained until it fell further to 0.5% from September to October. Over the following month, the percentage remained stable once again. Then, it increased from 0.5% to 1.5% by the end of the period.
Regarding zinc, the initial percentage change was 1%. Additionally, this metal was the only one to see an increase in February, peaking at 3%. Afterwards, the figure slumped sharply, reaching nearly the same level as it began by May. This trend continued until the end of this month, but at an accelerated rate, registering -1% by the end of May. In the subsequent month, the prices increased by 0.5%. Thereafter, it stabilized for the following three months. Finally, after the marginal decline to -1%, the figure climbed to 2% at the close of the year.
I think you wrote a little to mutch, in general, the essay should contain around 150 words, not less. But your text is actually amazing, just shorten it a little bit.
The given line graph represents the comparison of average monthly prices changes of 3 different types of elements in 2014. At the on set, it is clear that although all metals mostly decreased until June and remained stable between July and September, an increase was seen in June and October.
At the beginning of the graph, while nickel and copper prices were falling, the zinc prices were rising in the first month of the year. The striking information is that nickel started with the most percentage change and rapidly decreased in two months. In May, the copper price was unchanged while the others went up. From June to October, the copper price change had the most percentage, and the nickel was the least. Between the first and last month of the year, the graph displayed that the percentage change of nickel felt from 6 to 1, the copper was almost unchanged, and zinc rose from 1 to 2.
The line chart illustrates the monthly changes in the prices of three types of metals throughout 2014.
Overall, it is clear that both Zinc and Nickel witnessed the largest fluctuations during this period, while Copper remained relatively steady up to June. Nickel experienced the most dramatic decrease from the highest in January to the lowest in December.
In general, Zinc started with just 1% in the beginning of the year before increasing to 3% in February, then declined steadily to -1% in June, followed by a stable growth until October, a massive jump to 2% in December, which is the highest point. Whilst Copper fluctuated slightly from 2% to just above -1% in June before climbing to 1% and remained constant for 3 months, then grew back to nearly its original price by the end of the year.
In contrast, Nickel had the most dramatic drop from 6% to -3% in just half a year. It went from the highest percentage among the other metals to the lowest.

This diagram illustrates the average monthly change in prices of copper, nickel and zinc in 2024
Overall all three metals has declined in the first half of the year followed by gradually recovery towards the end of the period.Nickel showed the most significant fluctuations,while copper and zinc changed more moderately.
In the January 2014 nickel has reached the highet point of prices but suddenly the nickel prices is plummet very significant within 50% from january to June with negative numbers.The nickel and zinc prices fluctuations is not as high as nickel.
At the beginning of the year prices of the copper, nickel and zinc decreased compared with the previous month,although zinc increased slightly in February.Nickel reached its peak in January,however the price fell sharply over the next five months,dropping by nearly 90% in June.In contrast, copper and zinc experiencing smaller and more stable decline during this period.
Over June onwards, the price of all three metals began to recover gradually over the following three months.Although there are a slightly decrease afterwards,the process rose steadily again and by the end of the year all the three metals showed positive monthly changed.
The line graph illustrates the information about the amount of price changed monthly across the three different types of metals in 2014.
Overall, what stands out is that the average change in prices of both copper and zinc stayed stable compared to that of nickel throughout the whole year.
In January, the percentage of change in price of zinc and copper were 1% and 2% respectively. The percentage of zinc had a moderate fluctuation between 3% and -1% and reached at 2% at the end of the year. The percentage of copper also fluctuates gradually between 1% and around -0.5% across the year.
In contrast, the percentage of change in price of nickel had a dramatic decline from 6% to 1% over the period of 3 months from January to March. In addition, it fell significantly to -3% in June and then remained stable at -1% from July to September. Finally, it grew to 1% in November and stayed the same in December. (band 7)
The given line graph illustrates how the prices of three metals changed on average each month throughout 2014. Overall, the price of nickel experienced a period of significantly fluctuation over a year, whereas copper was relatively stable, and zinc prices showed an increase thruoghout the period.
At the beginning of the year, nickel price prices showed an upward trend, and this figure increased about 6% in january. However, this figure decreased sharply in the subsequent months, nickel prices declined to -3% in the middle of the year. After June, this figure rose gradually, recovered to positive figures at the end of the year. Meanwhile, Zinc price rose from 1% in January to 3% in February. Subsequently, it declined and recorded negative figures during the summer months, but its price rose significantly from October and eventually reached 2% at the end of the year.
In contrast, Copper prices showed less variation throughout the year than the other metals.Copper prices were around 2% at the beginning of the year and slowly declined in the spring. Although they fell into negative territory in June, they rebounded in the summer, reaching around 1-1.5% by the end of the year.

Subsequently, prices declined and fell into negative figures during the summer months, but rose significantly starting in October, ultimately reaching 2% at the end of the year.
In contrast, copper prices showed less variation throughout the year compared to the other metals. Copper prices began at around 2% at the start of the year and slowly declined during the spring. Although they dropped into negative territory in June, prices rebounded over the summer, finishing the year at around 1-1.5%.
The line chart illustrates the mean fluctuations in the cost of three different materials in 2014.
Overall, nickel showed the highest value at the beginning of the year and ended with the lowest value. In contrast, zinc had the lowest value at the start but reached the highest level by the end of the year, whereas copper experienced only slight fluctuations throughout the year.
Nickel recorded the highest proportion in January, at around 6%. However, it steadily declined to approximately −3% in June before rising slightly and finishing at about 1% in December. On the other hand, zinc demonstrated the opposite trend. It started at 1% in January and increased to 3% in February, before steadily declining to around −1% in June and then rising again to its maximum value of 2% in December.
Copper showed relatively uniform behaviour over the whole year. It began at around 2% in January, then declined steadily to about −0.5% in March, before finally rising to just under 2% by December.
