This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one answer out of many possible
approaches.
The line graph shows how many people visited four museums in different
countries in the world between 1980 and 2015.
All in all, the Egyptian Museum was the most popular, with between
approximately 8 and 9 million visitors each year. The least popular were the
Hermitage and the National Museum of Anthropology, with no more than 4
million visitors each year.
The number of visitors to the National Museum of Anthropology decreased
slowly from just over 4 million in 1980 to around 2 million in 2015. By contrast,
the visitors to the Tokyo National Museum increased from just under 5 million
in 1980 to around 9 million in 2015.
In addition, the number of visitors to the Hermitage stayed about the same
over the thirty-five year period. They fell from just under 4 million in 1980 to
just over 3 million in 2000 and then rose to just under 4 million again in 2015.
