Band 9: The line graph below shows average monthly temperature in three major cities. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the average temperatures over the year in three cities: Paris, Dubai, and Sydney over the year.

Overall, the temperatures in Paris and Dubai gradually increase up to June and then sharply decrease, while the temperatures in Sydney steadily decline and then rise rapidly by the middle of the year.

In January, the temperatures in Paris and Dubai start at around 5°C and 20°C, respectively. The temperature in Paris gradually rises by about 20°C between January and July, remaining stable from July to August, and then dramatically decreases. On the other hand, Dubai starts at almost 20°C and sharply grows through August, reaching around 35°C. After this peak, Dubai’s temperatures moderately decline over the following months.

By contrast, the temperatures in Sydney are the highest among the three cities, starting at almost 25°C. They gradually decrease from January to July and then dramatically increase from July to December.
