The line chart depicts the fluctuations in exports from Australia to Japan, the United States, China, and India between 1990 and 2012. Taking a broader view, it is evident that exports to India and particularly China experienced a significant increase, while exports to the US and Japan declined over time. By the end of the period, Chinese exports became the most dominant, followed by Japanese, American, and finally Indian exports.

Initially, Japan had the highest percentage of exports, standing at over 26% in 1990. However, there was a steep decline over the next five years to around 20%, followed by a minor downward trend until 2012, finishing at nearly 17%. In contrast, China started with only 3% of exports in 1990, but this figure grew rapidly, especially after 2000, reaching a peak of 28% in 2012.

The data for the United States varied around 10% until 2000, after which it declined. It later slightly recovered, ending at 6% by the end of the surveyed period. Similarly, Indian exports remained at approximately 1% during the first decade covered. However, in 2010, Indian exports surpassed those of the United States, reaching 7%. Ultimately, Indian exports finished the period slightly lower than those of the USA.

Sample Response Two

The line graph illustrates the exports of Australia to Japan, the United States, China, and India from 1990 to 2012. Overall, it is evident that the total exports to China and India have shown an increasing trend, whereas exports to the United States and Japan have experienced a decline. By the end of the period, China had the highest export values, followed by the remaining countries.

In 1990, Japan’s export figure was considerably higher than the other countries, surpassing $26 billion. However, it witnessed a significant drop to approximately $20 billion in the next five years, and continued to decline further to around $17 billion by 2012, exhibiting a continuous downward trend. Conversely, China started with exports worth only $3 billion in 1990, but demonstrated a consistent growth over the years. The numbers changed dramatically after 2000 and reached a peak of $28 billion in 2012.

The export data of the United States fluctuated around $10 billion between 1990 and 2000, subsequently decreased to $5 billion, and experienced a slight recovery, ending the study period at $6 billion. Similarly, India initiated its exports at $1 billion in 1990, remained stagnant for the first decade, and then surpassed the United States with export values of $7 billion in 2010. However, India’s exports concluded slightly lower than that of the United States.

Sample Response Three

The graph provides information about the figures for Australian exports to four countries over a period of 22 years. These countries are Japan, the US, China, and India. It can be seen from the graph that the proportion of exports to Japan and the US significantly dropped over the 22-year period, while the proportion of exports to China and India increased significantly. At the end of the period, Japan had the highest percentage of exports among the four countries.

In 1990, the percentage of exports to Japan was 20%, while the percentage of exports to the US was 9%. The proportion of exports to India was 1%, which was lower than the proportion of exports to China, which was 2.5%. However, over the next five years, the proportion of exports to both Japan and the US decreased considerably, to 20% and 9% respectively. Meanwhile, exports to India remained stable at 1%, and the figure for China had a slight increase of 3% in 1995.

In 2012, there was a gradual fluctuation in the percentage of exports to the US, which stood at 7% at the end of the period. At the same time, the figure for Japan steadily decreased to 17%. On the other hand, exports to China rapidly increased by 1% to 6%. However, the most significant change was the percentage of exports to India, which reached a peak of 30% in 2012. Overall, the graph shows that while exports to Japan and the US decreased, exports to China and India increased considerably over the 22-year period.

Similarly, Indian exports began at around 1% and remained relatively stagnant for the first decade. However, in 2010, they surpassed the United States with a percentage of 7%, but ended the period slightly lower than the United States.

Sample Response Five

The line chart illustrates the proportion of exports from Australia to 4 various countries over a 22-year period.
Overall, while the figures for Australian exports to the US and China followed an upward trend over the period shown, there is an overall decrease in the rate of the other countries. Besides, the share of exports from Australia to China showed the biggest change of all the 4 countries.
In 1990, Australian exports to Japan accounted for around 26%, more than double the figure for the US, at about 12%. Over the next 22 years, the share of Japan imports from Australia experienced a gradual decrease to approximately 18 in 2005, before remaining stable from 2005 to 2012. In the meantime, the percentage of imports into the US from Australia underwent a wild fluctuation, falling to around 6% in 2012.
Turning to the other categories, initiating at about 2% in 1990, the rate of Australian exports to China significantly increased by 26% from 1990 to 2012. The period from 2005 to 2010 marks the point at which China became the major export market. Meanwhile, the period from 1990 to 2012 witnessed an increase in the figure for India imports from Australia to 5% in 2012, after staying constant at 1% between 1990 and 2000.

Sample Response Six

The data presented in the form of a line graph illustrates the proportion of Australia’s exports to various countries, including Japan, the U.S, China, and India, between the years 1990 and 2012. The data is expressed as a percentage.

In general, it can be observed from the graph that Japan and the U.S experienced a decline in exports during the later years, while China witnessed a significant increase in exports from 2005 to 2012.

Taking a closer look at the graph, Japan’s proportion of exports started at less than one-third in the initial year and slightly decreased by around 6% in the following five years. Between 2000 and 2012, the proportion fluctuated considerably, ranging from about 80% to less than 20%.

Australia’s exports to the U.S were initially observed at 10% in 1990, gradually decreasing to around 7% between 2000 and 2012, with minor fluctuations throughout the period. The percentage of Australian exports to China had a continuous increase from about 2% to 5% between 1990 and 2000, reaching a peak of 25% in 2010 and 2012. However, the exports to India remained stable at around 1% until 2000, but experienced a dramatic increase from 2005 to 2010, reaching 7%.

Sample Response Seven

The provided line graph depicts the proportions of Australian products that were exported to four different countries from the year 1990 to 2012. In general, it can be observed that while Australian exports to China and India increased over this period, the United States and Japan experienced a decline in the products imported from Australia. Moreover, China witnessed the most significant rise in exports, becoming Australia’s largest export market from around 2007 onwards.

In 1990, Japan was the primary destination for Australian exports, receiving over 25% of all exported goods. On the other hand, China merely accounted for 5% of the total exports. However, by 2012, the percentage of exports to Japan had dropped to below 20%, while the figures for China experienced a remarkable increase, reaching almost 30%.

In the meantime, around 10% of Australian goods were exported to the United States in 1990, which was roughly ten times higher than the exports to India. Throughout the subsequent twenty-two years, the figures for the United States fluctuated and eventually decreased to 5% by 2012. Conversely, the percentage of exports to India remained constant until 2000, before gradually increasing to approximately 7% in 2010. It then slightly dropped to roughly 5% by 2012.

Sample Response Eight

The provided graph displays changes in the value of exports from Australia to four distinct nations throughout the years 1990 to 2012. It is evident from the data that, apart from China, Australia experienced relatively poor performance with regards to exports.

In 1990, Japan surpassed the other countries on the list, importing goods valued at over $25 billion from Australia, which was approximately $15 billion more than America’s imports. In contrast, India and China imported goods worth less than $5 billion during the same period. However, after 2000, the value of exports from Australia to both India and China began to grow steadily.

Notably, China exceeded the USA’s imports by 2004 and Japan’s imports by 2007, reaching a peak of approximately $28 billion in 2012. On the other hand, the value of goods imported by India declined from 2010 and settled at $5 billion. Despite some fluctuations, the value of exported goods to Japan and the USA decreased to approximately $16 billion and $6 billion, respectively, in 2012.

Sample Response Nine

The provided line graph presents data on the proportion of Australian goods exported to four countries (Japan, the US, China, and India) between 1990 and 2012. It is evident that the percentage of Australian products being exported to China and India increased, while the figures for Japan and the US witnessed a contrasting trend. Furthermore, China emerged as the country with the highest imports from Australia throughout the given period.

In 1990, the proportion of Australia’s exports to China stood at approximately 3%, gradually rising to 5% by 2000. Meanwhile, exports to Japan were around nine times higher compared to those going to China. However, the percentage of exports to China experienced a significant growth, peaking at almost 30%.
