model answer:
The total number of all species of turtles in India has been relatively stable
over the last two decades, although there were significant drops in numbers
between 1987 and 1989 and again in 1992 and 1996. Since 2004 there has been an
improvement in numbers of all species, although the graph shows a slight
decrease in 2010.
In contrast, the population of Leatherback turtles has suffered a severe decline, particularly in 1988 when numbers fell dramatically. The rate of decline in the population appears to have slowed and it has remained relatively stable since 2009.
There was also a fall in the number of Green turtles of around 30% between 1984 and 2002. The population increased slightly in 2010 but it had dropped again by 2012.
It is only Olive Ridley turtles that have seen a steady increase in population over this period. Their numbers dropped slightly in 2007 and again in 2012 but the overall trend has been a positive one.

model answer:
The tables show the amount of beer and fruit juice consumed per person per year
in countries around the world. Beer is most popular in Ireland, with the average
Irish drinking 155 litres per year. Germany ranks second with 119 litres per
person. In fact, the top six countries in terms of consumption of beer are all European.
Australia and The United States come next in seventh and eighth positions, with
Netherland and Finland consuming the least beer of the countries mentioned.
Finnish people only drink an average of 79 litres of beer a year.
The country which consumes by the greatest quantity of fruit juice per capita is Canada. Canadians drink an average of 52.6 litres each a year, that’s almost double the consumption of New Zealand, which is placed at the bottom of the table. Another North American country, The United States, come second in the table, while German drinkers are ranked at number three, consuming an average of 38.6 litres annually. Swedes drink approximately the same quantity of fruit juice as Australians, which is 35.5 litres per year. The Finnish and the British drink 33 and 29.3 litres per year respectively.
