Model Answer 1:
The line graph illustrates changes in reading habits of male and female readers at Burnaby public library, in 3 years, starting from 2011.
Overall, women read more books than males in 2011 at Burnaby Public Library, but the number of books that men read continually increased as time went by while for women, this figure declined after having risen steadily for the first 2 years.
In details, men and women read 3,000 and 5,000 books respectively in 2011 at Burnaby Public Library. And it clearly shows that women enjoyed more books than men did. And in the following year, while the number of books men finished reading increased by one-third, it increased by 5 thousand for women, exactly twice as many books as the figure for men.
It is worth noticing that women and men read the same number of books (10,000) in the year 2013, as men's interest in books skyrocketed. Women also read more books this year than in 2012, but the change was less noticeable (exactly a quarter). Additionally, the figure for men furtherly surged to 14 thousand books in 2014, but there was a fall regarding the reading habits of women, as the number of books went down to 7 thousand.

Sample Answer 2:
The line graph illustrates the number of books read by both sexes from 2011 to 2014 at Burnaby Public Library. Initially, men’s interest in reading books was slightly less than women, although it continues to rise significantly than women ultimately. In addition, books read by both male and female were the same in 2013.
Firstly, in 2011, men readers in Burnaby Public Library read fewer books than the women readers did. Men readers read around 3000 books compared to 5000 books read by women readers. Moreover, in the following year, the number book enjoyed by male readers increased slightly and reached to nearly 4000. Secondly, the book read by males rose dramatically from 2012 to 2013 and intersected the female readers' book number at around ten thousand. Finally, in 2014, books read by the male readers in this library grew rapidly to nearly 14 thousand but that of women, on the contrary, declined suddenly just around to 7 thousand.
In brief, men were less interested in reading books than women in this library at first but men have shown a change of their interest in later years.

Sample Answer 3:
The line graph presents data on the number of books read by men and women at the Burnaby public library from 2011 to 2014.
Overall, initially women readers read more books and showed more interests in reading at Burnaby Public Library but at the later period, male readers showed more interests in reading books while that was the opposite in the case of the women readers.
In the beginning, during 2011, more books were read by women readers, i.e. 5,500 than men readers, i.e. 2500 respectively in this library. In the following two years, there was a surge in the number of books enjoyed by both sexes. However, while there was a slight rise for the book read by women, that by men, on the contrary, rose at a significant pace during this period.
In 2013, the number of books read by both male and female met at an equidistant point where both men and women had read at around 10,000 books. But in 2014, we found an opposite reaction towards reading by both men and women. On one side, men reached a peak at around 14000 book reads by them, women readers, on the other side, read a significantly fewer number of books, seven thousand only.
