The bar chart indicates the amount of time of three categorized telephone calls in the UK between 1995 and 2002.

The local fixed line calls domed other two calls by ascending from72

billion minutes in 1995 and symmetrically descending to the identical initial figure in 2002, with its zenith at 90 billion in 1999.

National and international fixed line calls, the second major calls, creeped up from 38billion to 61 billion minutes, including two slower increases around one billion from 1998 to 1999 and from 2001 to 2002 respectively.

Mobile calls surged from two billion to 46 billion minutes.

The
soaring of last three years sharply contrasts the steady growth of first period between 1995 and 1999.
In conclusion, the local fixed line calls dominated the whole period in question, while the other upwards calls were significantly converging with the declining local fixed line calls from 1999 to 2002


文章解析：
第一段：开门见山清楚交代各个背景
1.横轴：年份
2.纵轴：时间量
3.图形：柱状图
4.Bar 图的种类：三种
5.亮点词汇（1） indicate 比 show
语境方面更正式，语义方面更贴切；
（2）category名词---转变为动词
categorized

第二，三，四段：通过分类的方式分段写，巧妙的把柱状图转换为线状图。
1.亮点词汇：动词：dome，creep up，surge ，soar；副词：symmetrically ；respectively ；sharply形象生动的描述了本地，国内，国际电话的变化趋势，因为运用了修辞手法。
2.语法：分词的运用：过去分词categorized；现在分词ascending；including；动名词的运用：soaring；同位语的运用：the second major calls；
3.比较与对比：反义词：ascending，descending；近义词：surge ，soar； creep up，slower increases；比较级：slower increases；
柱状图我们主要有两种写法：
1. 动态：如果横轴有明显的时间推移的话，烤鸭们应连接柱子顶点，重在描述柱子的升降起伏，写法类似于线状图。上文属于此类动态写法。
2. 静态：如果无时间推移，则写法和饼状图一样。即按照各比较对象所占比例的高低写，同时要注意各所占比例之间的比较。
相关词汇：
柱状图按照各比较对象所占比例的高低写，同时要注意各所占比例之间的比较。
可以用到的词汇有：

Represent
2.表示“最高级”和 “比较级”
第一/最小 the largest/biggest proportion of
第二 the second/next largest/expensive(+ 形容词的最高级)
第三 followed closely by

The proportion of A is as high as B
A and B contributed equally/evenly to (all )
