Band 6+: The line graph shows the change in production (million tonnes) of three products in the forest industry in a European country. Summarize the information by describing the main features of the charts and making comparisons where appropriate Write at least 150 words.

The line graph illustrates the change in the production of timer, pulp and paper in forest industry in a European country from 1980 to 2000.

Overall, production in pulp and paper exhibited relatively steady growths, whereas timber experienced a notable drop during the 1990s. Remarkably, although production in timber led the industry at the beginning, paper gradually surpassed it to become the dominant product in forest industry by the end of the period.

In 1980, 6 million tonnes of timber were produced, which then rocketed to approximately 9 million tonnes after five years. Over the next decade, this figure sharply declined to about 6.2 million tonnes, before a significant recovery to nearly 8 million tonnes in 2000. In contrast, starting with a moderate 3 million tonnes, production in paper steadily increased and witnessed a more than threefold increase in 2000, overtaking timber as the top product in the industry.

Meanwhile, production in pulp recorded much lower figure, which rose slightly from 4 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 1985. After fluctuating between 4.5 million tonnes and 5.5 million tonnes over the next ten years, it climbed further to 6 million tonnes by the end.
